Spielerando

Players get stuck somewhere in the middle and I cannot see where

Some testers stop playing after an hour and nobody knows why. This entry reads the moments when players got each new thing for the first time and points to the one step that took far longer than the rest.

Why this works

Progress in a survival game is a chain of first-time pickups. A step that takes many times the usual gap is where players stall, whatever the cause: a hidden material, a missing hint or a cost that is too high.

When not to use it

Skip it for games where waiting is the design, such as slow crops. Mark those steps as expected, or the report flags them every time.
