I didn't find shit by accident after going through like 60 painful levels, did they really expect me to find out about the 10 layers of meta by just playing alone?

Bro, I'm the first guy to shit on VS's cryptic nature, but you should've at least went deeper than that.
That said, if you don't interpret one line of text correctly you're fucked out of any and all powerups. You can still discover the UI manipulation, and that's pretty cool, but the powerups are a real loss.
All the deeper stuff? La-mulana tier.

That puzzle was garbage. Nobody would find out what to do on their own.

I really tried to avoid dying during my first runs, so I did not have the courage to follow the Gor hint. I even almost got to the bottom unvoided and burdenless by playing super carefully, but messed up in one of the final rooms.

OH WAIT, GOR IS IN LIKE FLOOR 140, NO?
YEAH, FUCK THE PLAYER, YOU HAVE ONE CHANCE TO KYS AT B23 TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE BRANDS, AND IF YOU DIDN'T, NO POWERUPS FOR YOU.
Even then, you might only get the cube and still not understand the later brand rooms.
At best this game is "intended" to be looped, but even then its not obvious or apparent you're meant to go through it again, given that the gray route is long enough to feel like a complete game.

Sounds pretty good.
I first died in the first room with the staff, declined the fruit and restarted. Then went like 100+ floors without dying, but after that the demon didn't leave me a choice, so I assumed I have to eat the fruit.
And the shitty voided song and ending made me kinda ragequit. God, that voice was lame.

You were supposed to play it on launch when the devs were constantly dropping hints in these threads.

yeah I loved this game but I had to look up how to do the snake puzzle. It's the one big thing that they got wrong design wise imo

>you were supposed to play with 4chan in another tab
Cmon now.
