RETURNAL | R_A.0779 Abyssal Scar [Footwork + Hollowseeker] (HDR) NO DAMAGE

Four of RETURNAL's six biomes feature what I call "Think Fast!" situations. (The Crimson Wastes and the Fractured Wastes lack these tiles.) As seen in the opening seconds of this clip, these situations are marked with bright green lights and involve the level shifting before the player's eyes. I've dubbed these "Think Fast!" because the player has only the briefest of moments to spring into action, committing to one path for one reward.
But what if the player doesn't have to choose at all? What if, with a little skill and a dash of luck, the player can obtain all the rewards offered? Such is the case with several of these tiles, and the three that can be found in the Abyssal Scar number among them.
This particular "Think Fast!" tile always offers the same rewards in the same positions. To the left, three chunks of Obolites are available. Down the centre, an Atropian Key awaits. To the right, three Calibrators can be claimed. Without exception, I always take the middle path-but sometimes, if the mood strikes or need compels me, I decide I want more and opt instead to take it all.
The Returnal Archive is back to celebrate RETURNAL's third birthday! Between now and April 30, a series of new clips shall be shared. On April 30, and weekly thereafter through June 4, a set of all-new, full-biome runs will be shared.

Damn nice, didn’t realise this could be pulled off

For the longest time, so did I! The longer I play RETURNAL, though, the more I start to question my underlying assumptions about what it does and does not permit.

Good stuff
