Just catching up on this now… heavily disagree with Brad re: Lorelei and the Laser Eyes UI. Making you only use one button for everything means backing out of menu screens is annoying since you need to go up to the X first. Same with backing out of puzzles. You need to “fail” it to back out if you aren’t ready to commit to an attempt.

The "Nextlander Dashboard" looks amazing. Is that available in any public-facing way?
