Ok, I did a part 2 playthrough for The Basement. Unfortunately, I had to rage quit.
It's once a game a beautiful game, with heavy lore that I really want to get into, but right now, with the slow movement, and the current difficulty level, its really preventing me from progressing. I may give it another go in a week or so after I am no longer raging ;).
On a separate note though, I might just be a horrible gamer and that none of what I say actually matters. Hopefully I'm back later with a part 3 :)
