This is so up my street it's practically in my house.
We don't know. What we do know is the wiring diagram works. We built it, virtually, in @godotengine.org. We fed it scans of the books we found.
And the books are very, very strange. The "game" that resulted is also strange.
We're hoping people can make sense of it for us.

I actually pulled back from submitting this game to IF Comp multiple years running, just because I was so nervous about it not being good enough.
So the fact I even finished and submitted it, let alone received some nice comments and positive placement in the competition, is a great feeling 😁

Playing Baldur's Gate 3 multiplayer is great fun until the party reaches an area with merchants; then it becomes a 'waiting for your mum at the mall' simulator

Needless to say, I will not be submitting to IFComp this year because of this stupid stupid map (and my own inability to manage scope and deadlines but mainly the map)
