Thank you Steve! I'll take note, I should probably prompt the zoom sooner on Steam Deck and controllers. Working on adding reduced walk/look speeds when zooming in to help with aiming too :)

Are you open to short-form? I'm a solo dev working on The Button Effect, I have a page/demo up on Steam :)
It's inspired by some of the games you mentioned – especially The Witness

I love both The Witness and TTP – I'm working on a puzzle game inspired by both :)
It's called The Button Effect, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on the Steam page / demo!

Stumbled into this conversation – I'm also attempting this type of design in my game The Button Effect. I've got a demo out on Steam, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on it
