Waterfall backyard feedback

After all of the great puzzles, and amazing design, why is this here? It is easily the worst thing in the entire game so far. There is practically no hint at all, and nothing up until this gives you any training as to how to do this part.

[Dreamynate]

I think the hints are sufficient enough with the flashback and sergey mentioning the moment you get it wrong. You can solve it with a few trial and error. Btw even I was completely clueless when it first came up.

I also did it (or whatever) with what the game gave me. So it's not as bad as you imply it, no...

[Morsk]

I thought it was a little annoying, but it's supposed to feel like a "real" secret trick not just a game puzzle, right?

[wervyn]

Yeah, this is more narrative than puzzle, sort of an explanation for how they hid an entrance to their secret hideout in plain sight for so long. Without specific instructions (or developer access to the game logs like Sergey has), there's no way a normal player could ever stumble on it, but they don't have to put in specific player-keyed access that might stand out more to a game moderator looking for anomalies.

[JerichoDeath]

It makes sense that it exists this way in lore, given the context. However, it's so poorly designed. It's mystifying. It's like the quality of the experience took a back seat to the story.

I spent about an hour and a half on this before pulling up a walkthrough on Youtube. If things get to that point, it's just bad. I mean, I'm glad that I could find a video of someone playing through that part, else I would have just moved on to a different game.

Since there are parts that people think are so porrly designed, I think there should be a "solve puzzle" button or sorts. You know, since if someone gets stuck they dont have to have an unfun time sitting at a puzzle they don't like.

yeah, heck, they should honestly just add a button that just beats the entire game for you. nintendo did that with one of their games years ago, it was super inclusive, literally anyone could play it. honestly this game is to behind on trends. its no wonder there's hardly any covrage on this game. it should honestly be easier. the fact that it doesn't give people the instant gratification people are looking for is criminal, dare i say, uninclusive.
