Agenda

  • Review playtest confusion
  • Decide whether the map should rotate
  • Cut one mechanic

Notes

Ghost liked the rotating map but admitted it made the first puzzle feel like a tax form with candles.

Cleanse found that players understood lantern colors faster than shelf symbols.

Barrier recommended a two-step hint system instead of a permanent tutorial panel.

Decisions

  • Remove shelf symbols from the first five puzzles.
  • Keep map rotation only after puzzle six.
  • Add a soft hint after two failed routes.

Action items
