Whatcha all playing?
I've been diving deep into Blue Prince.
Really awesome roguelite puzzle game. Highly recommend checking it out!!!

Blue Prince is monopolising a majority of my mental bandwidth currently as I'm growing increasingly obsessed with it. I've spent about 11 hours on it so far and have taken probably a dozen pages of notes in my little notebook next the to the PC.
I think this game could go down as a modern classic, and if it sticks the landing it will likely be my GOTY. It's cheap too, and even 10% off right now as a release week sale.
I can't really say anything more because, much like Outer Wilds, the less you know about it going in the better. If you even remotely enjoy mysteries and puzzles do yourself a favour and go play it like... right now.
Same.
I'm now 15 hours in, my runs look nothing at all like my first ones, and are rapidly changing each new run but also still haven't "beaten" it once.
Feels like I built a skyscraper and yet still have to get across the grand canyon to actually win and it has nothing to do with the skyscraper.
Except now I have foundation.
It's so good isn't it? Figured out some big brain puzzles yesterday and was blown away. Absolutely loving it
I'm loving it, but definitely also constantly second guessing whether I'm smart enough for this game haha. Especially when you come across a problem and can't work out whether you're supposed to wait for the clue/solution to turn up later or whether it's something you're supposed to be able to solve but are being too stupid to notice/connect.
How far in are you in terms of Days/time played. I'm at about 12 hours and 12 days played.
I think I'm at day 21 or 22. Made it to the antechamber for the first time yesterday. Not sure hours played atm
I could probably have made the antechamber last night if I had picked up a pair of dice I missed and found on the way back. But I'm kind of glad I didn't as there is so much unexplored and unexplained still.
I will say the antechamber is just the beginning of the end game stuff. There's a lot more to go after making it inside
I presumed as much based on clues and indicators I've been finding.
Just rolled credits! Really amazing. But there's still sooooooooo much more
I just got

down to the basement
and I'm shocked at how much there is. I thought I was going to get somewhere this run.

I look like I'm stuck, I assume the gear puzzle can't be solved first time? I can't figure out how to move the mine cart. And maybe drain the reservoir? Is this supposed to happen? It looks like there is another entrance from the Tomb (though I've never even seen a tomb when drafting!). Am I on to something? Am I not supposed to be able to get further this run?
small hint
Yeah I've also never seen a tomb while drafting, but there is one other entrance that the map shows. Have you found the pump room?
spoiler
The Fountain right? I assume it's on the east side lawn, but I haven't found any way to open a door to the outside on the east side. I've been through the Garage on the west side.
I have found the pump room and drained as much of the reservoir as I could, but there is still a touch of water at the bottom preventing me from going down there and both tanks are full, as are all rooms. No idea how to empty the last bit. I thought it was opening the tap in the kitchen to drain the water, but that doesn't seem to affect the water level...
