I was getting into Blue Prince, then I think I got a little annoyed with a puzzle involving a time lock, that claimed you could set it to open at a future date/time and it would stay for one hour. Fun, inventive way to get people to plan ahead.

But no, then I wasted several out of game days planning only to find that it's referring to in-game time; something that has not plainly existed through any of the other mechanics thus far. I'll likely get back to it, just think they could've chosen the orientation of "big picture" puzzles like that a bit better.
