Ahh the heels / sand thing… Yeah a few people have commented on it and uh… that’s bad design from us. Video games logic I guess

Hey I liked the heels. Makes you wonder what she’s doing there and how she got there. It’s the little details that count.

I did like that aspect of the design - she’s not quite dressed for the environment and that’s intriguing. But if she’s wearing them walking around on a soft, sandy surface, that feels a bit jarringly improbable. Now that effect could be deliberate, but unless you’re going for a Suda-esque dissonance they don’t quite work for me.

Maybe she can arrive wearing the heels and then slip them off and change into something more sensible

It would be interesting (and potentially annoying) if she stumbled every few steps until she found something more suitable. No doubt they are inappropriate shoes for hiking, but that’s what makes it intriguing!

Mind you, when I first saw the screen I didn’t think of the path she was walking on as soft and sandy. If you look at the colour of the track it is darker than the surrounding dunes, which could mean it is condensed. I live near a lot of walking tracks that are that colour.
