The level was conceived with a specific sense of progression in mind. First, the player would have access to only one character and must free the other two. As such, the first puzzle requires an understanding of the Knight's abilities, the second one requires the Wizard, the third and fourth requires both the Knight and the Wizard, and the last one requires all three characters but focuses on the Druid. Furthermore, the puzzles are self-contained but affect the bigger-picture puzzle of creating a bridge to the level's goal.

I wanted the level to be full of "Ah-ha" moments as a reward for careful observation of the player's surroundings. While players explore and go further into the level, not only do some puzzle solutions require the player to carefully analyze the elements in each room, but also, some shortcuts can be discovered and give the player the sense that they are slowly conquering the space. In addition to that, the major sections of the level are color-coded to help players orientate themselves.

To provide the player with as many high-quality puzzles as possible in the restricted space allowed, I always gave them all the tools they needed to solve the puzzles in the room where they take place or in the nearby area. To avoid undermining the challenge of each one through this approach, I have each puzzle demanding that the player understands each character well enough and discovers the ingredients by examining their surroundings.

Because the level focuses on puzzle-solving and not on any specific narrative, the cinematic sequences present serve the sole purpose of showing the player that they are advancing towards their goal. It waessentialnt to get the camera angles and length right to avoid situations where players would struggle to locate wherever the cinematic was showing.
