I cannot give items to the lady in the newspaper store. Is this a bug? Is it neccessary? Her name doesn't highlight when in item interaction mode.
I figured this out from a walkthrough and it was so dumb.
Newspaper lady said "I'm waiting for a call about a woman in town doing something suspicious" -- I thought this was a sly "fuck off" because I was the female character at the time; newspaper lady was expecting to hear about my character.
Nope, that was literally her random quest line she waited for.
When I tried radioing out at the police station, the character did NOT make dialogue lines.. ending with "I shouldn't do this". Which made me think oh, he's not actually talking to the radio... this is just a gag. Nope, you have to click the right options to match the newspaper lady's random dialogue line THEN camera jumps to the newspaper lady and she leaves.
Frustrating.
Overall the game's alright. I might finish it some day. I've been getting a huge meta-vibe from early on in the game (there was some clue). It's gotten more so & I've read online that it's 4th wall breaking.. I'm a little disappointed in that, but I haven't finished the game.
Overall it's ok , not super my cup of tea but enjoyable enough.
