I really enjoyed it up until the end, where I knew exactly what needed to happen, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. When I finally looked it up, it was the most unintuitive solution that felt more like an easter egg than the intended path. I would have never finished it on my own, which left a bad taste in my mouth.

I mean, the entire game can sort of be described as an easter egg hunt. If you're talking about >!warping inside the Ash Twin project!< then I get it, I got stuck on that for a while too but I love puzzle games and am used to that feeling of being stuck. I've noticed watching playthroughs that most people miss >!clues for how to tell the warp towers apart or how to apply the knowledge that warp towers activate when oriented towards the gravitational center of a destination!<, so there could've been more clues for that.

Edit: I think something that could've improved it is if they made a mini-game of the ship log to get more people to interact with it. A lot of the issues people seem to have with the game stem from them not meaningfully engaging with the clues they've been given. As it is the game relies heavily on people actively trying to piece together the puzzle themselves without any mechanism to ensure they do it.

Mate, spoil your solution.

Sorry I had it in spoiler text before but my edit seems to have dropped it.
