Local Player Finally Clears Tutorial, Immediately Opens Settings
After eleven months of practice, the crate puzzle is solved and the real adventure is still one menu away.
Local man Dale Pennywhistle has finally finished the tutorial for Lantern Hollow Quest, a game he purchased at launch and has been learning ever since. The tutorial consists of a single crate that must be pushed toward a gently glowing door. Critics have praised it as a humbling and necessary first step.
Pennywhistle reached the crate's destination on Tuesday, pausing only to adjust the field-of-view slider, the gamma setting, the subtitle color, and the controller vibration, which he set to soft hum. Nine minutes later, a voice actor appeared to explain that the real adventure begins in the next room.
"I'm not upset," he said, reaching for the settings menu. "I just want to see the sensitivity options before I go in."
