cool game, I am jsut replaying it right now.
It's jsut that stuff is really well hidden and there are ways to go everywhere so finding which the very next place to go is is kind of har, partially due to the lack of any sort of map.

like currently I got the keygun and the feathergun and after tons of searching everywhere the only availlable place to go seems to be the desert to the left.
which however has enemies that are ALL like 20 times as strong as any other enemy ever (every enemy before was on the same kind of low level and these are like 500 damage done by a single hit. which reflects in that the weak enemies gave like 5 expp and these one give like 150 exp)
jsut too hard, given that you cant even avoid most of their attacks.
so yeah, no idea what to do, except grind exp to get string enough to somehow tank through it :-/

I got a bit further by now.
I am currently in the shroom filled sewers, past the workers quarter.

Climbed out of some ventilation shaft and got some hint for some shape puzzle I guess. room to the left is nasty but it doesnt seem like I can advance there either since I need to get past a blue barrier :-/

question: in the desert to the left of the truck I made it past the temple and went as far left as possible.
however on that last screen, when you try to return to the screen on the right, there simply is no teleport touch thing (you know when you touch a side of the screen and then get teleported to another screen. that jsut doesnt happen here)
and I made it past all the annoying dragons. however all I found is an indestructible brick wall, with a checkpoint and 3 big hearts on the other side.
no way to get there.

is this area like.. not finished or soemthing? :-)

By the way: I got all 8 guns so far but I still dont know how to remove the lightning blocks.
how does one get rid of them? :O

so I am currently still missing 5 lores and about 1-2 weapon upgrades.
Wonder if they are hiding behind the lightning barriers?

maybe it is related to the button in the sleeper chamber as it didnt seem to do anything.
but I dont really feel like getting through all those zombies, let alone navigate my way through that maze there :-/

Edit: Checked back in the desert again.
It really would have been a great place for a secret passage, or even some lore, can totally agree with you there :-)

hey, ehm, I just screwed mysekf by saving in that point at the end of the desert.
would you happen to know which data in the save file refers to the last used  save point?

Cause I honestly see no legit way to get out of there again :-/

Edit: Never mind, I figured it out and teleported myself into the truck again :-)

I beat the game by now, however I am literally 1 lore missing (okay, technically 2 bu we both know where the secondone is! ;-))

so, I dont care who but can someone please tell me in what general area I can find the #41 lore?
that's the one situated between the #40 gum base and #42 the medkit in the lore list.

hey, question concerning the secret characters:
I jsut cant find baron in the place where he is suppose to be.
or is baron actually the guy who hints at vanessas hiding spot?
since then, I would have no idea where the secret area is :-/
