Spoilers for /door:

I wondered how the author encouraged me to find a solution for the second map that made reach the target by walking around the obstacle to the left side and returning around the right side (and symmetric).

Turns out that if you try to walk back around the left side, the clock is artifically made to run much quicker. Nice.

Nice find! I never tried to solve it that way.

It also accelerates time if you enter on the right and try to return on the right.

This actually annoyed me. Feels like the game is cheating.
It would be kind of creepy (and confusing) if it allowed an “I C U” result, though.
That's the point.
