Congratulations on submitting something this year! I understand that you weren't able to spend as much time as yo had intended, but I really enjoyed what's here.
I had a little trouble with finding the right session in my terminal to enable "bold text in bright colours," but thankfully, you were able to drop by during my stream in order to get me on the right track.
I found myself wishing for some checkpointing after solving different elements of the puzzle to help avoid repetition after messing up - the game doesn't really leave room for any mistakes, and it's easy to mess up early and play a long time before realising that the puzzle is no longer solveable.
I appreciated the exploration of the "conduit" and "fire" optional prompts too.
If you continue development on this, I'd love to play more!
