So you've reminded me of another player. I've been watching a playthrough of the game recently on Chert's Research Notes's YouTube channel. He knows the game forward and backward, but he's been having his girlfriend play the game completely blind. It's been a good watch. She's completed the main game and is a good way into the dlc now. But even after all this time, she still struggles with the simple things sometimes. Not just figuring out the puzzles, which are obviously challenging, but little stuff too. Navigating around places she's been a dozen times, remembering she has certain tools, reading the button prompts right in the middle of the screen, noticing literally anything on the periphery of he screen... she has stared down secrets directly in front of her and didn't notice on a few occasions. She has her boyfriend as moral support and backup, but even then she gets quite frustrated sometimes. But when she getting frustrated, they do a good job of stopping, setting the controller down, talking out the stress, and then either taking a break or going back to playing. It's all target wholesome, I must say.
It can be taxing feeling like you're beating your head against a problem, or struggling with the controls or navigation. Don't let yourself get to the point of exhaustion or anger. If you're starting to feel anxious or frustrated, just stop, collect your thoughts, talk it out with a friend, step away if necessary, then come back at it fresh. Reread the ship logs any time you're confused, and go explore a space that it says you haven't fully explored. The beauty of this game is that it takes notes for you and only collects information that you actually need. Everything in the logs is important. Maybe try to crack a different puzzle if you have one you just can't figure out. You'd be Surprised how coming back to it later can really help. And of it's really just not clicking, you can always ask for hints.
If it's just not your thing, that's fine too. Hope you are able up enjoy something else instead.
