Oh wow, I had the misfortune of getting this game (360) for Christmas a few years back. Sadly this coincided with my computer passing away on me, so for a good month and a half this was all I had to play.

I'll spare the details, but getting off the couch after a session with this game I always felt slightly violated was gifted with a considerable headache.

Anyways, I suggest heading for the coast, I have some vague memories of murdering fish-like people in their sleep, which was at least entertaining.

TLDR: Head for the water.
