NEW LOCATION (with notes for Mat to read): 950 - contains the "Semotus" puzzle where I was able to use the fallen cube from 404 and raise it, seemingly to no effect (see below). Also, I think the portal is great, a little disappointed that the buttons can't be deselected. I love the theory that you're able to explore these previous locations, but two things:
1) It's a bit of a shame that not all of the combos can be used. I understand it's because there aren't locations there yet, but maybe it would have more of an effect if it could have been saved until you found a way to implement locations 110, 111, and so on. Otherwise it just seems half-broken. Which might be your intended effect, idk.
2) With this portal we can now access001 two different ways, and this way comes way before the "intended" one, so now the intelligence flowchart is all screwed up and I don't know how to fix it. I know that's not exactly your problem but you did talk before about removing double clues and I think this counts as a double clue.
--- 529 - clue to 840
NEW LOCATION (with notes): 840 - I absolutely love it and can only hope this foreshadows a possible Sub1 reskin in the future . Semotus puzzle seems incomplete though. Or at least, I did what I needed to do in 950 and I still wasn't able to get behind the plate in this location where the Semotus prompt is. Not sure if there's more or if it's just a half-done puzzle. Lever pulling puzzle is good except I'm still very frustrated that there's YET ANOTHER KARMIC WATER REFERENCE and there's STILL NO KARMIC WATER PUZZLES THEMSELVES DDDDD:
966 - Attic section has chalk scribbles separated into "Wait" and "Where is the ladder?" and a new one "Maybe I could just draw it" but I can't figure out how to do that. Again seems like a half-done puzzle. Idk.
Them is my findings n thoughts plz like coment subskrb

that puzzle is not incomplete I think. One of the ladders appears in 840 when you place the bell cube

So it looks like the Semotus machine then might be a series of three Semotus bell stands, and we've seen one. The wires can be traced accurately to one of the ladders, which it controls (I get it now), and the other two look to lead to possible future locations. Then maybe if all three bell cubes are placed and raised, that might activate that little thing on the front.
Also, a random drawers with that little hemisphere on it? Any suggestions?
And yes, let me reiterate with the chalk: it's cruel to add that line and not do anything about it. >:(
