Best logic puzzle game of 2024. Very extensive exploration of a bold set of mechanisms.

解谜游戏设计新的教科书。很可能是年度最佳。

This game is a take of minesweeper from a logic puzzle point of view. Every step can be logically deduced and there is absolutely no need to guess. I recommend to turn on the expert mode because it ensures you are making correct deductions. Logic puzzle lovers will enjoy this game. On the other hand, this game may be of little or no interest to minesweeper speedrunners.

A technical innovation in this game is the hint system. It not only tells you which cell can be deduced, but also tells you which clues are used in the deduction (that is, clues not used can all be replaced by question marks, and this deduction step still works). The puzzle generation system is based on this hint system, and ensures that every puzzle generated can be logically solved using at most C clues in each step, for some constant C. This C starts small in early game, but become larger in late game contents. This ensures a smooth experience for solvers, as when C is very large, the deduction chain would be too long and it becomes painful for human to handle the deductions. Computer-generated puzzles are often criticized because computer judges difficulty differently from humans, and generated puzzles are either too easy or too difficult. This game avoids this issue by introducing this hint system. This is important for the area of automatic puzzle generation and we can hope to see more computer-generated puzzle games that are interesting to humans.

Bought a new laptop and spent one afternoon finding crash fixes for this game.
