The compass is right. You just probably miss one place with puzzle for the key. Clue for the key location was in the computer notes. Feel free to message me on twitter if you still can’t progress.
Thanks for your feedback. If mouse invert is requested I can include it. I just don’t know anyone playing with mouse to actually use it as it is mostly used for flight simulators or consoles/gamepad players. I can include it in next update.
Yeah I got stuck at this part of the game too. Makes me very frustrated when I have to alt tab out of a game to figure out what in the hell I am doing wrong. Breaks immersion and ruins the experience entirely. So where is this key at? I've been running around for countless hours with nothing to show for it.
Check your journal. Also another hint is in computer notes. If you did not read the notes or simply forget about another cave, there is also a hint if you tried to open locked watchtower door. It will updated your journal with aditional info. You probably miss the second cave. In order to get the key you need to solve the red box puzzle.
Hope this will help you. Feel free to contact me on twitter or discord for further help.
I figured it out. The photos really throw people off because they don't first see the numbers of the one photo are of the side of the combination instead of the actual combination. That puzzle really does ruin the experience and immersion of the game. I ended up looking it up on youtube then just watched them play to the end since the immersion was already ruined for me. Puzzles like these ruin horror games these days. I highly suggest removing that puzzle or making the protagonist say "huh, if I line up those side numbers, I should get a good chunk of the combination" or something similar to clue in the player more so they also don't have to alt-tab out and break their immersion.
Do you mind message me on twitter/discord? I was getting only positive feedback on this specific puzzle so far so I can’t just remove it but I would like to discuss your difficulties with it and verify something. Maybe find more optimal solution most probably for asisted mode.
My goal is to make the puzzles challenging but not frustrating. So if someone struggles with the puzzle I would like to provide as much clues as possible but don’t ruin the puzzle experience at the same time.
