Hey what a life saver! I loved this game but got absolutely stuck at the end—completely missed the interactive pillars in the cart cave, assumed I needed to access the cart by opening the metal door with a key that I'd get by solving the spiral, and of course I couldn't understand why I was unable to brute force the spiral combination. Thanks!
Of course! There's never any shame in admitting you're stuck, and I'm glad to have helped you out. A long time ago I decided that using a walkthrough to finish a puzzle game doesn't necessarily make the experience less valuable, because for me it often doesn't make it less fun or interesting, and I can appreciate puzzles I couldn't solve and ones I never even would have seen. Plus, often if your intuition about a puzzle doesn't match the developer's intuition and how they expect you to approach it (e.g. assuming "this looks weird I probably need a key" rather than trying to interact with it first), it can make it completely impossible. I often recommend trying to get a sense for different developers' puzzle logic if you can't parse it, by playing through some of their games with walkthroughs, before attempting to beat maybe a harder one on your own.
Big glitch to report: when exiting to the menu or finishing the game, starting a new game and picking up the first note seems to cause it to crash entirely, more often than not. (I think I'm the only one who's run into this because I'm trying to develop a speedrun route! Many of the puzzles can be skipped with notes.)
Thank you very much for reporting, I'm looking into it. So far I've only managed to replicate the bug once after 30+ attempts, so it might take a while.
Edit: Found the issue, the bug should now be fixed. Good luck with the speedrun!
I did one more like this and got a 3:56, but this is the one where I kinda explained what I was doing a little. I hope you enjoy seeing me ruin the intended order...
You need paper hints for both of those: the "paper with holes in it" and the firefly hint. Both should be fairly intuitive once you have them out in the appropriate places.

I made a video walkthrough! Here it is:
I also recorded myself explaining the puzzles as I went, so hopefully it'll help you understand what I'm doing.Hey what a life saver!

When is someone posting the walkthrough to this?

Thanks so much! Glad I was able to help. I wonder why it was happening so often for me.
Here's my first speedrun attempt:
I did one more like this and got a 3:56, but this is the one where I kinda explained what I was doing a little. I hope you enjoy seeing me ruin the intended order...Very nice game, I love riddles like these and minimalistic visuals! Had fun solving it, good job!
This is confusing.
That's a glitch, I think it has to do with cookies. Try disabling your privacy settings.
stuck on the spiral and the metal box, any hints?
You need paper hints for both of those: the "paper with holes in it" and the firefly hint. Both should be fairly intuitive once you have them out in the appropriate places.
do you know where i could find these?
ive got a paper hint on toilet roll that has a castle first but i cant find it :/
nevermind i found it
Nice
