Grim Tales: The Bride session 1

Very atmospheric but already this game disappoints me by giving me a machete early on in play but denying me the ability to use said machete to solve all my problems/puzzles. I’m pretty sure that the solution to getting the key amulet from the dead man’s clenched hands isn’t to give him another amulet to put around his neck, it’s to hack his corpse with the machete.

Want in that door? Hack with the machete. Want the torch out of the dragon’s mouth? Hack with the machete. Want up the treehouse? Hack with the machete.

EDIT: I have progressed further where I now have a blow torch and was asked to solve a puzzle on an evil clown… mannequin? Puppet? To get it to release the gun in its mouth and I really think I should have just been allowed to use the blow torch.

Not to solve the puzzle. I just think that clown needed blow torched.

EDIT 2: Oh now they’re just taunting me with things I can’t use on every little obstacle that crosses my path.

they took my machete, they took my blow torch, they took my gun, I don’t expect I’ll be having much fun with this dynamite
