Go down the rabbit hole. Do it.
Void Stranger was a blast to play last year. A friend and I got in a voice call and collectively lost our god damn mind for a week straight trying to figure out all the puzzles.
If you do play this, grab a friend, and go in completely blind. Don't look up anything if you get stuck, you shouldn't need it.
8/10 would lose my god damn mind again.
Spoilers ahead:
A couple of the deeper lore puzzles are a bit bullshit (the snake one especially felt bad imo) but otherwise it was amazing from start to finish.
I didn't vibe with the true ending of the game admittedly. I thought they were going somewhere else but it ended up being a callback to another game by the same developers. Cool, but was really hoping for a big payoff at the end and it didn't really hit.
The times spent asking "wait is that a hint? Is this obscure thing a part of the bigger picture? NO WAY DUDE, IT IS?" is a vibe I don't think I'll ever get to experience again. Thanks for that System Erasure!

Yeah I had photos of every single part of that puzzle in a god damn ms paint window and still couldn't figure out how they pieced together. I ended up cheating on that one, admittedly.
