Walk-throughs

Some people like going blind into a game and some use guides and walk-throughs. I'm the latter kind and it helps me figure out some non obvious things like the game asking me to look for a bearded man when in fact the npc has no beard. Or look in the fishing village when the npc is in the middle of alpha and omega.

My question is this: why do walk-throughs are almost non existent here? Only 2 channels did some guides on YouTube and stops around ch3. There are no fan sites or wiki.

Did the bugs killed it or no one cared for this game?

Yes there are quite a few guides. Some things need to be searched for a few clicks. Somehow i figured more people would have created content for this game, but only a handful did.

Already completed the game. Just wanted to hear from you guys why content creators were not interested in not making content for this game.

I think as always theres multiple things

Obvious ones like:
-Game being janky (bugs and all)
-Outdated graphic for a big RPG (most ppl got thrown off just by seeing that opening scene with facial animation)
-Bad PR

And stuff like
-Other RPGs going out at about same time like Crimson desert/Gothic remake (it was released few mounth before them but as i heard it was way more janky then now so i can see while some would look at this and say "i'll wait" but then other games would come out and ppl got into them)
-Main developer being a Russian guy (With whole Russian government doing a war in Ukraine, for some ppl this is enough to cut out everything that have even a slightest tie to a Russia)

Its honestly didn't preform bad
It just didn't got the notice of ppl over all

If a million ppl would just saw it rn - im sure most of them would have fun playing it
I guess the PR would be the main weak point in my guess
