Hold Right Click to catch the snake
yes, i realized that based on the instructions given, wherein i am provided exactly that information. my issue is with how difficult it is to employ that knowledge to catch the snake. admittedly 15 minutes is the product of a dire skill issue, but in all the playthroughs i watched it took the player several minutes to sufficiently corner the snake so as to catch it. strictly speaking, a difficult challenge is not a mortal sin, but the pacing does suffer from it in this particular instance; the player is dragged out of their fear by their need to lock the fuck in and catch the stupid idiot baby snake.
