My 26-hour stolen RPG nightmare

A quick preview of the first subtitles so you know what the video covers.
A dungeon game. Right now, I must forge a single sword. The blacksmith offers to make it for free—but demands I bring his tools: hammers, mallets, etc. When asked where they’re located, he says he doesn’t know. I immediately press **M** to open the map. *No map.* I check the quest list to locate the spot. No navigation. Now, in this vast, empty field, I must find the hammer blind—no map, no GPS. Is this a mental health issue? Yes. The developers likely designed this for fun, like finding a hidden chest in the woods. So, if the game doesn’t tell you where to go, is that mental health? *Yes.* That’s exactly what *Ash and Steel* does. The core quest flow: receive task → wander blindly → repeat.
