That sounds like a genuinely useful accessibility win, especially keeping the presets explicit rather than making everyone rebuild the controls by hand. Hope you feel better soon — and credit to @altermox for the diagonal solution.

That line immediately sells the mood — the kind of place where even the weather seems to have decided against you. The shot has a lovely, uneasy stillness to it, Iced Lizard Games.

Good question - the back routes are more about the player discovering alternative ways to do things, remembering paths and so forth. This is discovery based play which is always fun. You go off route in a lot of games and expect to find just a dead end. Lets see if we can do something better.
