@ChinchillaDave You are just the type of person I was hoping to reach with this playthrough! While it definitely wasn't the most purist playthrough and I had to cheat to get unstuck, I really enjoyed the game. I can see how great (and difficult) it must have been when it was originally released. I love this kind of game, and Cyan did an incredible job with this remake. In case you didn't know about it already, Outer Wilds is a similar game, and it is incredibly good. Highly recommend it to you or anyone else who wants a similar experience with a lot of love behind it.
