Is There a Bottleneck in the DLC?

The simulation to early was an issue we had actually quite a bit. There's this section in the middle of the game structurally that I think a lot of players correctly perceive as a bottleneck Where if you don't solve a series of puzzles It kind of blocks you from the back half of the game and uh that is there not because we were like let's just give you a series of linear things to do Um, it's actually a series of knowledge checks to prevent you from just sort of like Stumbling your way to the end of the game.
