What to study
The set's second diegetic puzzle, and a different mechanism from keeper 4: where the mood console asks the player to seat face tokens against a slider, this puzzle asks the player to slide glyph plaques along rails by hand, so the two puzzles together show the game's range of tactile, in-world problem solving rather than one puzzle type twice. The hand mid-slide, the plaque glyphs and the rails are all sharp and legible. Frame at 36.02s in the Release Date Reveal Teaser (Steam; second-pass extraction sp-teaser-sliding-plaque-3602.png), inspected at full resolution (1920x1080); no trailer text or marketing overlay in frame. Held as an alternate in the Phase-1 review, admitted on second pass for distinct sliding-puzzle content. 16x16 average-hash distance to the nearest existing Chants of Sennaar keeper 87/256, no near-duplicate.
