Taking a barrage of anonymous 1,000-won punches leaves my head spinning.
Professor Layton and the Curious Village, the 25th puzzle.
The 25th puzzle was a maze notorious for its brutal difficulty—there's even a meme called "that problem" about it.
According to the viewers, even Ayase burned through 30 minutes here.
If Ayase, who has above-average game skills, took that long, what about me?
I haven't even reached the halfway point yet.
Mazes are typically puzzles where you can't gauge your progress easily.
But in Layton's maze, you could indirectly track it.
There are seven vicious traps that send you back to the start.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.
The rainbow-colored traps appear in that order.
Hit the red one? You're still in the very beginning.
Hit the violet? You're almost at the end.
The silver lining: once you trigger a trap, a "trap ahead" marker appears at the last fork before it. Grind long enough, and you're guaranteed to clear it.
The problem?
"...Where did I go earlier?"
— Guide Right side you idiot — Shocked Why the cursing tho... — LUL Dropping f-bombs lmao — ModWhere Why isn't that guy banned lmao — ManagerUpdate Manager says they're melting down in real-time too. I'm a hopeless sense-of-direction disaster.
Last time with the horror game, the scares were secondary—I couldn't find the path at all, ballooning my playtime exponentially.
...Ugh.
An hour in, and yellow trap was my personal best.
[Frustrated superchatter donated 1,000 won.] — Goldfish? Goldfish? Went right a minute ago and now left? It's not memory.
This catastrophe stems purely from my abysmal sense of direction.
[Shibure donated 2,000 won.] — Exploding It even marks it nicely for you, why left again you fucking moron AAAAAAAAA "Argh! I don't know either! If you're so frustrated, you do it! And no backseat gaming, remember? Manager, ban that guy! Heretic!"
— LUL2 Why heretic lmao — HereticHunter Just calls anything she doesn't like a heretic — WhyMe Why me? — Viewer Fr real lmao streamer should do it not me? — Veteran I've played this game!!!!!!! — Nope Uhhhhh no Already confused out of my mind, and the superchats are making it worse.
Back to square one again.
At this rate, forget six hours for the ending—I might burn out here.
So, I resorted to the forbidden method.
"...From now on, backseat gaming allowed."
— Argh Argh — Finally Finally finally finally finally — Cynic Allowing backseat? You'll ignore it anyway — Newbie Just got here, why is chat so pissed? — Veteran2 Watch for 1 hour and you'll be too ㅇㅇ — NotHuman Not human. Just a braindead — BrainScan Brain's a fat lump ㅇㅇ — MemeLord 3 heads X, 3 boobs O "Shut up, shut up, shut up! I'm about to lose it, so just tell me quick!"
...
...
...
The power of crowd wisdom was incredible.
I fake-feint left...
— Predictable Argh the path from 1 min ago why left again on purpose for superchats on purpose — Breathe Breathe, breathe! — OuttaBreath Ugh I'm outta breath just watching The enraged chat and superchats explode predictably, so I turn right.
...Thanks to the horde of pissed-off viewers' help like this,
I cleared the maze puzzle in a whopping two hours.
"H-How much time left?"
— Timer Exactly three hours left. — Fail Failure. — KEKW Any% speedrun, dogshit fail — RouletteTime Roulette... time? — Hype Roulette stream gooooo "Not over yet!"
Cleared half in three hours.
Theoretically, the rest in three more.
Luckily, puzzles 26 to 33 passed without major hurdles.
Thanks to the Wiki power.
— Pog Poggggggg — Speed Solved in 20 seconds? — MindBlown Brain blown! — Contrast Smart af but why maze tho... — Summary This seq is just trash gamer ㅇㅇ The more Layton I play, the nastier chat gets.
And what's the manager doing? Stopped the ban dance?
Puzzles 26-33 took exactly 20 minutes.
Good.
This pace clears in six hours easy.
Next: 34th puzzle.
"Is this one of the Four Heavenly Kings too?"
— Easy Nah 34th is braindead easy — Chill Super easy — Breather Breather stage — ProTip 34th is more physical than brain, 10 min clear? lmao — Warning 35th is one of the Four Kings — Doom Big one incoming... Pre-game, I'd scoff at "Four Kings."
But fresh off the weakest King's bitter taste, I couldn't laugh.
Anyway.
34th puzzle begins.
⚙ PUZZLE 34 ⚙ You are a traffic cop. "Red cars" are signal violators, "blue cars" obey traffic laws. Tap (click) red cars to bust violators. What.
34th really is a bonus stage.
No Wiki, no brainpower needed.
Makes sense—puzzle games often toss in simple minigames for brain breaks.
Timing for rest is key.
I smirk and start solving 34.
Click red cars on screen, right?
