[SPOILERS TO THE ENTIRETY OF THIS GAME]




When I got to the last room, there was no door. to see the hints I had to undo the things I'd done in the first 2 levels. the hints together read out D E A D. what does this mean? did I beat the game? did I lose?

You’re almost there! So to get the final clue you had to revisit the first 2 levels. To do something with it, you’ll have to revisit the third level. Let me know if that helps!

Ohhh, I see. let me try if I can figure it out.

ok so I managed to figure out that one of the map tiles in the game is a 4 digit hex editor and I inputted dead. and then a crash screen showed up but I think thats what happens when you beat the game, right?

Yep! It’s easy to miss, but the stack trace says “CrashThisFunctionToWin”.

oh, thx. great game btw!
