Oh I see! Yea like, I read the sign next to what seemed like a path to the right of where you would fight the brute goonny, and got a little confused why I couldn't cut the ferns lol.
Thanks for the clarification!
After unlocking the Point of Pressure skill, I can't seem to use it against breakable objects (I'm assuming that's what you use on the shrubs/ferns to access chests and clear a path to other areas of the map). When hitting the X key to pull up the skill tab, and selecting Magic, it only highlights Psy-Launch.
Aside from that, I am very much enjoying this game and the demo is wonderfully fun! Great job and I look forward to seeing more (´∀`)b
