writing this after a first attempt -
i think i really ended up playing into how you intended things to go, psychologically. i realized after a bit of playing that most everything was a dead end and tried to guess what the 'trick' was from the title。I thought to walk past any exit that wasn't at the end of the path, which worked... until it didn't. i really thought i was in the endgame when i saw the tileset swap (and the 4-way intersection with 2 paths that connect back on each other)..!
also, I think I obtained an item that was supposed to be dummied out from the sea behemoth? twas a blank name item with no description, Obtained !
