The game becomes open-world when you master the skills: Talk To People and Ask For Things

I promise this is especially true for museum folks, library folks, and academics. We are always looking for an opportunity to talk about our silly little special interests and we will love you for providing one. Send the email.

this is legit I have made a habit of emailing prominent researchers in overly specific things and it has opened many doors...

My partner constantly asks me how I manage to live in a cute point-n-click adventure puzzler, while he's in Papers Please, and all I can say is it's because I go through life like a point-and-click adventure protagonist. See a cool thing, put it in my pocket for later. See someone doing something, I will stop and say hallo and see if they need help with their thing. Remember the person for later, so when you see them again you can say 'hi, how is your thing going?'. Open all the quest lines and don't be scared to leave stuff hanging for weeks/months/years before getting around to finishing it. Real life is not King's Quest V, if you eat the pie there will probably be another way through.

wore my thigh high boots on a walk today and we had to take a path through some long grass and while everyone else was rolling their pants into their socks and putting on jackets to protect themselves from ticks i was standing there smug as hell in my thigh high leather boots.
