This was utterly fantastic! Very sad to have finished it. Lots to love, but what really impressed me was the incredible density and intricacy of the level and puzzle design. Nothing is superfluous, every screen is packed with secrets to explore.

I've been struggling with this one. People with judgement that I trust seem to unanimously like it, and yet I've bounced off from it three times already and really can't put a finger on what it is exactly that I'm not liking, to the point it's becoming recurrent food for thought for me:

is it the navigation gamefeel? Is it the gap between surface level interaction and the first level of secrets too big/obscure? are surface level interactions not that interesting for me? why? I'm pretty sure your posts will make me give it anothery try. Maybe this one!

It's always good to interrogate your likes and dislikes! I don't imagine it's the meta-structure of secrets, since that's a further-in sort of thing (side note: I do wish the game's later half, "post-game" stuff was meaningfully woven in more into the first run through, or at least glimpsed).
