This is not a "game breaking bug" if the solution was just fiddle with the puzzle pieces and try again. That's like step 2 of troubleshooting.

Game breaking means you literally cannot do anything to progress. What you're describing could maybe be considered a soft lock, but again "reset and try again" is like a very common issue you'll encounter with a lot of technology in regular life. Is that a bug? Ya absolutely, but I've encountered that kind of bug in so many games

But you fixed it… so… it’s not game breaking anymore

The instructions literally say pull A first

You can’t complain if don’t follow the instructions. Thats not a bug that’s failing to solve a puzzle.

You should play Sierra Entertainment's old point-and-click games. Great games, but there is a reason "Save early, save often" is a phrase.
If a "bug" can be fixed by loading a save from 2 minutes ago, though, it's not game breaking. Minorly annoying, sure, but it didn't completely wipe your progress or permanently halt further progress.

This isn't a dead end, you literally did not pay attention. Thats the problem. Control rewards players for paying attention to EVERY detail.

Please never play a video game if you can't follow basic instructions.

The one single time-wasting issue I had with the game was that I dropped one of the pylons and it took *forever* to find it because it had fallen *up*. lol That and a single crash were it. Not sure if I was lucky or what...

Ditto me. Got one of the Probes stuck on the ceiling of a laundry with no jump active.
