On to the uh..."story" (?) mode of Picross NP1. We have absolutely no idea what's going on here, so we're mostly just here to admire the architecture.

Dabir posted:

Not so much a "story" mode as a "special feature" mode (the word is 特集). Basically, it's a tour of Buddhist temples. Exactly what it looks like.


Horyuji Temple
Nara Prefecture, Ikoma district
Founded by Prince Shotoku
The oldest wooden building in the world.


Horyuji Temple Shaka Triad statue
Nara Prefecture, Nara City
Life-size statue in the image of Prince Shotoku, sculpted as a prayer for his recovery when he lay afflicted by illness.

Note: Did a bit of googling here and supposedly the inscription on the statue actually reads that it was made at the time of Shotoku's death, to help him ascend to the Pure Land.


Itsukushima Shrine
Hiroshima Prefecture, Saeki District
Constructed by Taira no Kiyomori. A large torii surrounded by the ocean and the unspoiled forests of Miyajima.


Byodo-in Phoenix Hall
Kyoto Prefecture, Uji City
A villa that was converted into a temple by Fujiwara no Yorimichi's father, Michinaga.


Ninna-ji Temple
Kyoto Prefecture, Kyoto City
Emperor Uda lived here after his retirement, so it is also known as "Omuro Gosho" (Imperial Residence).


Kiyomizu Temple's stage
Kyoto Prefecture, Kyoto City
The cypress-wood stage on the cliff in front of the main building offers an abundance of beautiful views.

Genbaku Dome

Demonstrates the disaster that was the first use of nuclear weapons in human history during the Second World War.


Ryoanji Temple
Kyoto Prefecture, Kyoto City
Temple founded by Hosokawa Katsumoto. The abbot's residence's rock garden is a superb example of the karesansui style.


Rokuonji Kinkaku
Kyoto Prefecture, Kyoto City
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu lived here after he retired, when it was still known as "Kitayama Palace".


Himeji Castle
Hyogo Prefecture, Himeji City
This castle's construction is typical of the Azuchi-Momoyama period, centered on the main tower, which has five storeys on the outside, but six floors inside.


Shirakawago
Gifu Prefecture, Ono District
The people here still live in these large, thatched-roof gassho-zukuri houses.


Honganji Hiunkaku Pavilion
Kyoto Prefecture, Kyoto City
A building in Nishihonganji Temple. Its asymmetric harmony is a feature distinct to Momoyama period architecture.

By the way, from trying to find out what all these little summaries are talking about, I can tell you that there's a lot of interesting history to all of the places the game features and the people it mentions in passing, so it's well worth looking them up yourselves.

I wanted to like Antichamber, but then I got stuck/ran out of new areas to explore, and absolutely none of the guides I could find could get me back on track (they all either were deliberately vague or assumed I already had an item that I hadn't found). Still don't know what I did wrong :negative:

I fought the lava, and the lava won.
The trick is that if a room on the map is represented by a larger square, it means there's an exit you haven't taken from that room. That might help you find the next place to go. There are multiple ways to progress for most of the game, but they're not all obvious.

That sounds good in theory, but looking at my old screenshot of my current map, a whole two-thirds of the squares are big... I remember the guides talking about a gun (?) that did something with cubes, am I supposed to have that by this point?

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

I was wondering if anyone was going to mention that. It's very good; there's like three complaints I have against it but they're all relatively minor as the puzzles are all well curated and IMO hit the sweet spot on not being too large but still challenging enough you can't totally autopilot them. Autocompletion exists, but it will not tell you if you made a mistake on filled in squares so you still have to watch what you're doing.
