A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

It is very much a puzzle game, but the way its puzzles are structured involves exploration.
I'd generally say it's a rule discovery puzzle game, which is a searchable term, structured in a metroidvania style. I love rule discovery games, the core idea is that the game doesn't tell you the rules, and discovering the rules that govern gameplay is part of the puzzle.
