I really don't like the hint system.
On three puzzles I've used it now for all three hints, because I genuinely had no idea where to even start with them, and I sit here for six minutes each only to be frustrated that the hints I got were completely useless and I just had to solve the puzzle on my own anyway.
Like any hint that goes "Decode then rearrange" is a terrible hint because yes, i understand that's how the game works. The part I'm stuck on is I have no idea what you even want me to decode. One of the hints I got was literally just "Trial and error may help" and I'm just like why did i wait two real-life minutes for the game to tell me to just guess the answer to a puzzle I don't understand?
If the hint system was instantaneous or the hints were a lot more useful, I wouldn't have cared enough to leave a comment, but the hints dragging it out so long only for them to not help at all made me so frustrated I had to stop playing and come back to the game later after I cooled off.
Edit: I ended up beating it, and put money in the jar cuz I did mostly like it. I just still really don't like the hint system.
