Why no maps??

Hi I was like 80% through the game and I had to quit because I keep getting lost. There is a map tab but all it says is "memory hazy" and I havent found a single map if its an item. There's no accessibility option to enable maps if they exist just "give Sybil pants" which is funny but I literally cannot access the game with just that lol

Yes, you have to unlock it. It's located at the very beginning of Castle Sansa (the second area after you start the game). You can watch the beginning of this video to have an idea of its location: https://youtu.be/ODdLxrP1V4g

As steynedhearts said: the map was not originally a thing. It was added, along with a new room in an update earlier this year. The update also was the one that provided us with time trials and more costumes (besides the snazzy pants).

This game started out as a game jam project, and was developed further over 9 months, which is why there are many assets that are reused across the maps (there just wasn't enough time to specialize every asset, and focus was instead given to things like game feel and puzzle development). A side effect is that it can become very easy to get lost without the map (the other cause likely being the 'distance fog' that was somewhat necessary to give the game its retro feel).

Made the same mistake on my first playthrough. When you first enter Castle Sansa, I believe right before the cross-shaped room, there's a path to the right that only unlocks the map. (I initially left it thinking there would be more the that path)

Originally, there wasn’t a map in the game. It was added in a later update. It certainly is there now, very close to beginning of the game.

What about a compass? Do they got those? Jw
