Thank you very much for the comment and feedback, it's super appreciated!! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed the game 😊
Yeah, I'm really sorry if that step was a bit too obscure, I struggled to figure out how to hint at it without outright spoiling the puzzle... I'm hoping to eventually implement a deeper hint system, but sadly I haven't had the time yet. For now I'll try uploading a simple walkthrough to the different endings, just in case it could help people get unstuck if/when they need it!
