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
