@eevee@slime.global The puzzle is coming up with a puzzle, and you are playing the game in real time!

@eevee@slime.global put this in verbatim and make the mechanic that you have to come up with the puzzle yourself

@eevee@slime.global one does not simply think of a puzzle

@eevee@slime.global I was making a puzzle game for a jam earlier this year and was having trouble making a specific idea work. What I ended up doing was indirectly calling it a red herring and making a blatant skip of the original intended path be the actual solution. Sure it was giving up, but it was giving up creatively.

@eevee@slime.global the puzzle is "there should be a puzzle here, but secretly there is not, please proceed"
