Billy BassoGUEST
Yeah, the thing I've noticed with a lot of video game puzzles is sometimes you can kind of just sleepwalk through the puzzle.

Billy BassoGUEST
And if there is a thing in a level, if there's a lever, I know just ahead of time, I'm going to have to pull this lever.

Billy BassoGUEST
state that the world could be in and you can kind of just mush your way through it and find the solution without even thinking critically about things.

Billy BassoGUEST
So I think it's an interesting challenge to whittle a puzzle down to its core elements without making it and still having it be like leaving plenty of room for like wrong solutions and you need to like be intentional about like the things you're manipulating in the level to like come to the solution.
