So, anyone in here playing Blue Prince?

If so, how's every responsibility in your life holding up while you drown in the hyperfocus?

Good luck. The further you get in this game, the more difficult and complex it gets. I have sheets of scribbled notes.
- Oh, I finally had to stop myself. I took more and better notes than I've done for literally any academic purpose in my life lol
- Obsidian has been great for this, my notes have basically become a giant wiki full of places, notes, possible puzzle solutions, screenshots, etc.
  
  Obsidian is what I've been using too!
It just keeps getting deeper, and I’m not very good at it.
- Me at the beginning: "hell yeah I'm so smart"
  Me now: "I'm dumb as hell"
- The lack of permance gets to be more and more problematic as you go on too.
  I love the game, but it would still be very difficult even if you got to keep all of your items permanently, books from the library, etc.
  At some point I'll cave and watch how far others have gotten, but I'm not there yet.
The 20 pages of written notes and trillian folder of screenshots says I can stop anytime I want.
It's interesting. Normally I just go with the flow of the game but this is the first time I've used the steam notes feature. At first it was little bits of information. Then it got a bit deranged as things went on. I won't spoil anything but it's weird and I find it interesting in spite of the fact that I hate puzzle games. Like really hate.
It ate a good month of my life, and a large part of my sanity. 10/10 no regrets.
Honestly, it bored me and frustrated me in equal measure. Absolutely not for me.
I'm still going... Some of the cryptic stuff is a little too much so for me in places though (asd here)
I will not finish it. I enjoy it deeply but I know what I need to do and it's daunting. I also had a bug for awhile meaning the Closed Exhibit simply did not spawn despite it being in the pool. Regardless, I enjoy building little silly houses.
