So, I managed to fix the camera! But the pocket watch... even with the guide, I just couldn't do it. Reassembling that thing was way beyond what my brain could handle, especially since I'd already had a long, exhausting day.
That said, even for a brief moment, my immersion hit peak levels. I genuinely love building and assembling things by hand, so if it wasn't quite so difficult, I would've kept playing for sure. I'd definitely come back if the difficulty were tuned down a bit.
