This looks nifty... ...And I see we've arrived at the point where a Steam page has to say "No collaborative effort is required - all puzzles and secrets are discoverable by playing the game solo".

(Not complaining — I just think it’s funny, community-evolution-wise.)

I think I am a fan of this standard? I was definitely pleased when the devs said the same about Blue Prince - it's so hard to make a community puzzle that's enjoyed by more than like...10 people out of your entire customer install base. Also wishlisted! Looks very neat.

If the Blue Prince devs were aiming for that standard, I assert that they failed. That's not a complaint either!

That was more difficulty though (which was fun!) and not "explicitly required data from other players' files", which I have not enjoyed when I have encountered it.
