Turns out he had to turn off the fogging effects to progress through the game. Made the dream sequences total easy after he did that.
Yeah, that was a workaround with an unforseen bonus. I didn't even realize it was a bonus until I watched others play and noticed that their screens in the dream sequences looked very different from mine.

But about Steam, I think it's a great innovation for the industry. Hopefully more studios will adopt a distribution system similar to Steam.

Digital delivery, man. It just freaks these people out. Imagine that you had to go to a well every time you wanted water. Then, somebody figured out a way to get the water to come out right inside your house! I don't blame them for being scared. Progress is a bitch.
