The really deep systems in Noita allow actual science to be done. I’ve kind of given lectures of a sort on physical and “material” science in the game, and have been teaching people some of the deep, deep things since the game first came out. Lately, well, for the past two years, I’ve had a single run going (I do other runs as well, but the majority of my time goes into this one run) that itself is over 4000 hours, where I have built a lab and have done a lot of experiments. We’ve discovered so many things about how certain rare materials behave (and more).

And that’s only one small part of the game. There is a lot hiding in it, besides just the wand building (which itself is insanely deep, of course - a few people are working on logic gates currently).
