Aww that sucks, what an unfortunate experience

I actually only first played it in 2020. I had missed it when it first came out, and then a museum near me happened to have a big exhibit about it. I jumped in and out with several different people throughout the trip, but I hadn't been expecting a partner, just cooperation when we were near each other. I did have someone to stick with for the very last part, at least

Ooooo at least ya had a partner for the strongest bit!

This should probably be spoiler’d…

I was sooo lucky. I met my inagame partner pretty much as soon as you can meet a partner, and he was a straight-up Sherpa. I didn’t know it at the time, but he has special robes for, like, having all of the achievements? He let me bumble around and whenever it felt like I got stuck, he would chirp at me and guide me to where I needed to go next. I had to use the restroom at one point, so a made a circle, chirped twice, he chirped once, and I left for ten minutes… he was siting right there when I came back. He chirped with glee when I started moving again. He was with me all the way to the end. When the credits finished and it showed me his Steam name, I was OVERJOYED. I added him and waited… waited… boom, he accepted. We struck up a chat for a bit, and he sent me a ton of screenshots he took of our adventure. They looked like professional photos. I think he might have been using some external tool, but I’m not complaining. It was an unforgettable experience and I cried, and I never cry. 10/10
