I was never much good with adventure games, but it's one of my favorite genres nevertheless. Back in the days I mostly used walkthroughs or consulted our class clown. Somehow he always knew the answer (magic? 😲).
Recently I finished Monkey Island with 0 hints until the damn navigator's head - quite an achievement for me.
So I was full of optimism finally starting with Gabriel Knight and while I'm enjoying the game a lot, it feels like a whole new level of frustration.
I'm picking up most of the items alright, chatting my way through all the dialog trees and trying the usual mix and match with people/inventory. But for the most part it just doesn't feel like my deeds advance the game in any substantial way. So I checked with the hintbook and would certainly never had guessed what was the right course of action without it.
Feel quite cheap now. And still stuck. Could be the time to get dirty again 😠. Logic puzzles are not my favorite thing, but a good story is. Or might be that it's just not that logical sometimes..
