1. I like that the first bit of advice is to take it off. It's very interesting that in this story very few people take its advice.
2. It recommends whatever would make you happiest in that moment, but not what would make the best version of yourself happiest, or what would maximize happiness in the long term.
Solving mazes requires some backtracking, I guess. Doing whatever will make you happiest in the moment won't make you happiest in the long run.
Can I ask what camera you use?
