"You can't solve this puzzle" says the guy who wrote a program to exhaustively solve all possible permutations of this puzzle.https://t.co/QdMXKK7Q6X

Turning arbitrary rulesets of lights-out into a graph model an then linearizing it to turing-like tape of bits, then asking if it halts in a state all the same value? Possible (but not hard) if your tape isn't infinite.https://t.co/13w9fFV4Bc

Trover saves the universe is a walking simulator where you listen to Justin Roiland make jokes about suicide and the futility of existence. All the puzzles are only there to give you an illusion of control. Shake your head [yes] or [no] if you understand.https://t.co/x91Wry4KY1

I'm not sure if I like Justin's mental vomit in this game, as funny as it can be sometimes. Without the larger molding of the writing team juxtaposing the nihilism with absurdist stuff (ala Dan Harmond & other writers?), the sheer immensity of his ennui shines thru too strongly.

I wonder how much they thought about how many YouTubers and Twitch streamers were going to play this game for their audience.

My bet is that this is going to be a serial experience ala Telltale Games formula. Good fit for a hybrid VR experience, and they've got a filter for a hardcore audience willing to trade money for relatable feelings of meaning.
