It was a painful hour and a half of skipping, maybe even two hours, but I managed
Thank you very much for the tips!!!
How do I interrupt the special mode? I finished this chapter, but a new one immediately started, and when I re-enter the game, I'm thrown back into the storyline. How do I interrupt the dailies?
God, this storyline is literally a breath of fresh air. I love Nod-Cry.
Tell me, is there any keyboard (with macros?) that allows you to press the "F" key?
I advise you to read this news regarding something similar.
