Worry not - Crimson Desert is a real videogame! And it's a hell of a lot of videogame, to boot. I got to play about 6 hours and while I'm ultimately very optimistic about where this ends up, its opening hours are a slow burn as you get to grips with a challenging control scheme and some confusing puzzles.
