Order of the Sinking StarHigh Mirrors: selected room layouts
This page covers only the article’s Vertical Mirrors room range: 22 of its 23 stills in puzzles 12–25 and 31–39 match distinct local native textures and pinned candidates. Article puzzle 21 remains unassigned. The article also presents eight separate Overworld puzzles. Their local target IDs remain unresolved; this page does not assign them to room candidates. Article numbers follow the narrated source order and stay separate from internal vertical_mirrors set positions. Colored rings mark visible layout landmarks. Each short key idea is source-reported, not an input trace. Static stills are not exact PTS; no video was decoded, no route was independently replayed, no finish is claimed, and exact Steam depot mapping is unverified.
