Sidenote: I'm still fascinated by how the US beeps certain words in their broadcasts. What other countries do this?

Void Stranger (2023) is a fascinating casual puzzle game.
In an ignore-my-todos mood, I picked it up from Steam on a whim, because an unrelated blog post made an offhand mention "you should play it". I hadn't heard anything about it before.
