What the heck am I doing?

[Legend]

Freedom is a double edged sword.

In every other game: just enjoy the game.

In my game: sure you want to swing your sword, but maybe you want to eat it instead. How should I know?


Just great!...

Haha I'm talking about the player's perspective.

Can't have a "press X to awesome" button when every individual player has their own expectation of what awesome means. Can't have a "use" button when every item could be used in dozens of ways.
