    1. i had a chance to play frog zk with friends and it was a good time. pinging off corners and trying to get down some difficult cracks, going "oh, i think this was a bad route". best representation of going bouldering with friends in a videogame i've seen. thatsnot.fun/zk-map-for-stranger/

    however - it is the kind of game that wants you to strafe jump. so. might also be a representation of going bouldering with friends and then it turns out you're not actually very good at climbing.

      it is refreshing to play a videogame with extraneous elements, facing up to a problem without knowing there is a solution, or knowing there might be multiple solutions (but also, as Bennett says, without it being procedural. authored but loosely)

        the opposite of the thing you learn to do in a puzzle game, where it's unsatisfying if every clue is not used at least once. versus real life problems which are generally about wading through a mass of irrelevancies trying to pick out the crucial thing that it turns on.
