What the game really lacks is the open world. Its really basic, you dont really need to explore the town. I have an easy solution for this, this is already there in the game. In the first part of the game, in order to get to the second floor of neighbor's house, you have to get to Nicky's treehouse, do a puzzle, get scissors. Why cant we have like this in every part. For eg. in the bakery, you need to get cat food for imbir. Instead of it being in the bakery itself, it can be in someother location like the farm, where you have to sneak past the farmer, do a puzzle and get it. In the taxidermist's house, some fridge magnets can be in a diff location like gas station and you should do a puzzle to get it. In Mayor's mansion, the fuse can be in a location like police station where you have to sneak past Leslie. The open world also really lacks decoration, the crows are very cool tho, you really should add missing posters throught the town like the beta. Finally, the guest should stalk you at nights while you get from one location to the museum. The return of the stalker AI would make everyone happy, and you did say that guest will stalk you at nights in devlog 1. If you add all these, the hate HN2 is getting will stop.
