Reminds me of those 80s adventure games that always had one hard puzzle and when you finally found out the answer was really annoyed by how random and insignificant it was.

nothing is insignificant in hakari though

Why is the logo image in Level 10 desaturated? I was sure that meant something, but it doesn't seem like it did.

Damn, that's savage sharing all the answers ... where's the fun

Any tips for level 26? I've been playing around with the idea that the three numbers represent coordinates but without much luck. Also, the 'inverse' thing is throwing me off.

Thanks so much for this. I was also beating my head against the wall over-nerding the correct idea. This gave me what I needed and didn't really add any spoilers beyond the ones contained in the post above.

Yeah, I spent a lot of time banging my head against the wall of Zork, and in the end felt it was a "guess what I'm thinking" pastime that was not worth my time.
