I wish you had to think about your choices. It would be a much better alternative than paths just closing seemingly at random. I dont think this game should to have drama or anything overly complicated. It is a great game and the lighthearted nature of the game is perfect - I dont want that to change. I just dont want paths to close for silly reasons.
A walkthrough mod thats not official is not a good solution to this because this is a comment about the game by itself and not 3rd party add-ons. Using the official pdf walkthrough is immersion breaking. I think the game needs to be more intuitive when it comes to closing paths.
