Journal Clue Mapping
Create a simple map linking journal excerpts to specific puzzle locations. This visual aid can streamline the process of matching clues to their corresponding mechanisms.

Mirror Transition Testing
Cross each mirror once, then return, noting environmental changes. Comparing before‑and‑after states helps identify which dimensions alter puzzle solutions or enemy placements.
