Spent 2 hours on a puzzle, the answer was literally in the intro
I was playing a classic point and click adventure from the early 2000s, the kind where you combine a rubber chicken with a pulley to make a zipline. I was stuck on this one door puzzle for two solid hours, trying every weird object combo I could think of, even using the map upside down. Finally I looked up a walkthrough out of pure frustration and it said to just click the door handle. Turns out the tutorial screen from the very start showed the exact same handle design, I completely blew past it. Anyone else ever miss something so obvious that the game basically handed it to you on a plate?
