I don't have the head for puzzles right now (I guess it's linked to the rooms with the raise/lower arrows) but I did what I could.

Thanks for trying... you missed the very large door on the first floor, between the red monster closet you had 2 hell knight coming out from, things would have been more clear.

yes. Although I feel like the place with the solution is a little hard to see since it's high up and kind of far. I was on the right track with the BFG puzzle too, despite the misleading voodoo doll arrangement in said room.

not gunna lie sometimes hearing UDMF can turn ppl off or especially hearing puzzle can turn ppl off lol. The market, she's a harsh mistress

 

anywho, gave this a whirl this morning and had a surprisingly good time - We were actually able to solve these without too much frustration or tedium, the experience felt like it flowed nicely without any lulls and the fights were just challenging enough to be entertaining without frustrating.

 

You have a lot of cool tricks and traps here, that button behind the bars is actually amusing. Had fun solving and playing this buddy for legits, textures were used nicely too

 

honestly, I would recommend hope more ppl give it a try

 

as advertised, the puzzles are very accessible
