Update: Ok, I pushed through and finished all 16 puzzles. And I love the ending; what a cliff hanger! And everyone who knows me here knows how much I love a cliff hanger! I just started a new game, with a better understanding of how it works. And looking forward to VV5.
I even have an idea for a story (like that's some surprise)
