Hello, I've been playing this game for ages now, but only sparingly, and still struggle with stuff. It's nice, and a good challenge, but what is an actual good way to get into Interloper? It's just brutal, and I can't seem to find my footing. Much appreciated!

Hello! I'm a newbie myself, but I do recommend watching Zaknafein's guides on starring Interloper. He has a bunch of tips on early game and I highly suggest starting with these first.

If you have the abundant time, this is the guide to watch. It's 6 hours long, but definitely encompasses everything you need to know.

Don't get too stressed about it though. This game is meant to be explored at your own pace, and please, don't end up like me quick saving every 5 minutes trying not to waste anything. (I used the console mod) It takes all the fun out of the game. Live, make a mistake, learn, repeat. It's the only way you're really gonna get used to it

Thanks for the deluge of info! Looks like that channel is an amazing source. Wonder how I have missed it for so long.

I try to enjoy the game slowly, but some sense of a personal roadmap to mastering more and more of it is nice to have. I think you helped me a good deal with that, cheers!

I have been playing this game on and off like you but never have really looked into any videos on it. I'm glad I did though! Saved my hide countless times.

I agree, an overview is definitely useful to have. No problem, glad to help!
