ah that would explain it. I think i missed the first couple of pedestals as I didnt realize I needed to continue interacting with it, i found out later they had multiple sentences but by then I couldnt back track, oh well that just gives me a reason to play through again, Thank you!
If you have the updated build, Q and E on the keyboard strafes you left and right. On a controller left stick does the same. If you're playing the old build, strafing is a bit clunky to do. You have to hold down the X key (I think, if I'm not misremembering) and then instead of turning you'll strafe.
