hi, i recently gifted the game to a friend and the game for them acts like a demo. it wont proceed past the first first maggie encounter on the beach. i bought the game and had their email on the gift exchange so i dont know whats going on there. any insight?
Your friend needs to defeat more enemies and get more Data Logs. The dialogue and even the 'Ending 01' message should hint at this.
Pick up Energy on the map, bump into enemies to defeat them, and you'll automatically get a Data Log. Get 5 before facing the first boss and you can go to the next level.
