Woahhh, I really love the puzzle sequence itself! I was a bit stump the first time cause there were no indicators I had finished something, but I managed to get it, I appreciate you highlighting some parts to solve the puzzle. Especially during the monologue cause I completely skipped it since I had read the dialogue already so that's a really cool little hint as well!
I also didn't anticipate Lauthis' cause of death and his true goals. But honestly it's forgivable since that man truly adores his husband which, props to him he can go cause atrocities for his husband and the torment.
I'm so curious about Lauthis' past and what happened to him, coupled that with Jarred. Amazing work done here!
