What to study
The same draw-a-line mechanic, but the grid itself is the twist: rotated 45 degrees into a diamond, it forces the eye to re-read directions that were obvious on a square grid. The panel is also architecture here, set into a wooden lattice gate so that solving it opens a physical way through the garden, progress and puzzle are the same object. The thin white border around the image is the trailer's montage framing, not game UI. Frame at about 0:14 in the Release Date Trailer (Steam).
