Heart Palaces, the mood mazes
A Heart Palace is a place made of someone else's feelings. Lunne leads a personified emotion back to the Heart's Cradle and, inside the maze, finds an ingredient that the recipe for that person needs. Later on, the publisher's October trailer mentions huge emotion kaiju. A full palace count was not published.
I refused to write "all 12 palaces" or any other number. Kickstarter says the game has 15 locations, which is not the same as 15 palaces. What I can list are puzzle shapes that a walkthrough actually describes, plus the studio's rule for the room. If a step is not in those notes, it is not on this page.
Puzzle types that have a written example
The general approach in the day log is to connect the start to the exit before you commit to moving blocks. That is a tip from the walkthrough, not a developer hint.
- Carry the heart orb out of the first palace, tied to Mrs Tessier's regret around day 3.
- Underwater currents and push-blocks in the days 4–5 stretch.
- A barrier that stays shut until a relationship is high enough to receive a key.
- Line and slider puzzles in Estelle's palace on day 12. Sadness, in that palace, can be pet five times for an achievement.
- Stealth around a torment: stay out of its view and use tall cover.
- Mawuli's palace: ghosts, Fear, and signs the notes say you can inhabit.
