Quick question though. How are longitude and latitude lines handled? Did I do something wrong?
I was in a situation where:
>I attempted challenge mode (don't pass by the bear twice)
> I was in the bottom left corner of a 24 room map.
> I explored the bottom 2x2 square there; on the bottom row, second from the left, I found out that the bear was somewhere to the east, implying that it wasn't in the two columns on the left of the screen (Because otherwise, it would be to the north or west).
>I believe it was the middle row where a mermaid told me that the bear was on the same line of latitude. Since latitude lines are horizontal, I assumed the bear was on the third row, to the east.
>I continued exploring the rest of the two columns to the left, but I died soon after. I didn't return to any towns. The town I died at was unexplored. It wasn't even on the the third row, but the second one.
When it says pass by, does it mean passing by the town it's in by entering a town adjacent to it, or does it mean by entering the town the bear is in and leaving without catching it?
Am I misinterpreting what the game meant? OR...are there liars in the game? Maybe I'm mis-remembering or maybe I wasn't paying attention?
That was how I perceived it, though I didn't strictly test it. So, if you were in the bottom left town and someone says "The bear is somewhere to the East". Then it could be in any square except the column you're in (a.k.a. the squares above you). Correct?
