add more items.

You can only pick up items that are useful for the puzzle. There is no item in the entire game that can be used just for fun. In hello neighbor 2 alpha 1 you could pick up a bunch of items like glass bottles, bags and box's. The box's even had physics when ever you dropped them or throw them. They just removed SO many items that were I the alpha to the point where I would rather play alpha 1.5 instead of the full game. Even if it's more buggy. I know you're adding more updates to the game, so this is just a suggestion for a new patch. In the game files you can literally find an updated flashlight model and updated binoculars. also WHERES THE GENERATOR. I think you might add them because of the plugs that are around the map that you can't use since that's what you did with the paint cans but still. ADD THIS IN A NEW UPDATE

I think the reason they did this is to not make it as hard to find items for puzzles since if you can pick it up you know its important without other items in the mix to make the game much more direct

Yeah, also a reason they scrapped the old story - if you lose an item, there's basically no way of getting it back

But utility items could be nice

or they might think that the items are useful

I do think that them making only items that are important accessible is a good thing but I do think binoculars and flashlights would be cool especially considering that the flashlight model is actually used in the game, Quentin uses it during the first nightmare cutscene. The generators very well might be added in the future for the story expansion updates or DLC. I do hope boxes are one of the objects you can pick up in the future as the boxes in the first game allowed for some creative problem solving. Outside of those four items and whatever other items they plan on adding for puzzles I don't really see any point in adding any more items. The current system of only having items that have a purpose is pretty good and although I can see some more items like the ones that I suggested and whatever else they add for puzzles I don't really see any point in adding more items.
