I've been "playing" Blue Prince, by which I mean that I just spent an hour and a half filing all my Switch screenshots into thirty different folders. "clues solved", "clues unsolved", "items", "dates", each book in the library, other folders whose names would be spoilers if I listed them here...

It's pretty great. :D

I definitely recommend playing it on a computer instead of a console, though. Hard to use a notebook on the couch.

(thanks for the rec, @davidcelis !)

Blue Prince update: I'm starting a wiki to organize my clues

(yes, this is really enjoyable!)

@mnemonica This is possibly the best plan! I have a notebook that is half graph and half lined for my notes!

@Challis2070 yes! my notebook has been growing but I started thinking like, "I would really like to cross-reference all these things," e.g., this is a "letter" but also I want to cross reference who wrote it, or this is a person and I want to categorize them as staff or family, etc :)

@mnemonica Yea! I admit that I like looking up 'spoilers' because I want to know if I'm on the right path and this game is very....divisive about that course of action.

(And that I process things weirdly, so I can't be sure I'm actually pulling the intended information from something at all times)

@Challis2070 yes, big same on the information processing side, for me.

I feel like this game could have been the kind where it maintains a scrapbook of clues for the user, but I'm actually glad it didn't. The pen-and-paper work is really satisfying for some reason!

@mnemonica It's good for some people! I have difficultly writing, tho it helps with the processing, so I end up playing infrequently at best.

@Challis2070 that makes total sense! I didn't think of the scrapbook concept as an accessibility aid until you said that just now.

@mnemonica Yeeep! I used speech to text in college (still have it, but don't write as much so don't use it as often now), and had notetakers, but still took my own bad notes to help the processing. Usually on top of the notes given to me, lol.
