I'm struggling to understand how they even made that graph. Did they just group monthly data by year and sum visits to get annual figures, without noticing that they were missing a big chunk of 2026?

Please do not put high-stakes cinematic platforming sequences at the emotional climax of your game if the protagonist moves like he's been anaesthetised below the knees! (this is my only beef with the game, which largely rules otherwise)
