I see the appeal of Old School Guidance for its challenge and immersion, testing problem-solving skills and making the game more rewarding. Modern Guidance is helpful for players with less time or who prefer a guided experience. The choice between the two ultimately depends on personal preference and play style, offering different experiences. It’s great that Alone in the Dark allows players to customize their gameplay. @ShadowReaper, do you find Old School Guidance enhances your enjoyment or is it sometimes frustrating to navigate without help?
