Soft locked unless played in specific way
I played for approximately 20mins, explored and gathered everything I could and was then put into a situation where the only thing I could do was enter a chapel (die immediately), enter a different chapel (die immediately), enter temple gardens (die immediately) or explore the end of a hallway, get discovered and enter combat with an undefeatable enemy (aka die immediately).
There are literally no other options I have available to me, no locations to go, no option to pick, I was completely and utterly stuck. A quick google search shows me that apparently I was playing this “role playing” game wrong and that you have to follow a very strict and precise walkthrough in order to continue the game. This is an incredibly poorly designed game and not even worth a single star to be frank.
DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME, it is not a role playing game. You have to follow a strict walkthrough or you will not be able to play it whatsoever. You have been warned.
