This is really impressive! Super elaborate for a compo game. It’s definitely got the Myst inscrutability. I figured out the button puzzle and found my way to the five switches, but I couldn’t figure out where I was supposed to find information about which ones to pull. I’ve never been good at Myst, though, so… I guess you nailed it!

Other than the collisions it was a pretty cool experience, maybe could be a bit longer

Interesting game. I included it in my compilation video series of a bunch of LDJAM games!
