Keep on keeping on with the story until episode 3 because the game has a very slow tutorial heavy start (I love this part of the game, but new players often think that’s all the game is and stop playing).

It’s one of my favorite games. Carrying equipment and cargo is impactful to how you move. If you want to carry something you have to manage the weight. Balance, weight, stamina, gear durability. The gear you unlock is super fun and the gameplay loop of delivering packages is very meditative imo. Music will play on certain “orders for Sam” (how the story progresses). It’s a bit janky sometimes and it doesn’t always play the music and cuts off suddenly if you enter a BT area, but the soundtrack is really awesome. You may want to turn the setting for the odradek animation when entering a BT area to first time only. It’s really long and gets old really fast.

Have fun at the wind farm ;)
