Ok it's not quite so simple. Actually technically speaking what we were seeing was an overlapping of spacetime which we then affected through quantum causality. In other words, in the myriad of possibilities for any single event we were able to pick out the ones that coincided with us in order to learn more information which common sense would have dictated that we wouldn't have been able to learn.
But the way it was portrayed felt like we were just rewriting some collision on a VR game and somehow that changed the past.
Also spending a half hour running around a dungeon just to find out that all we needed to do was accept the name "Columbina" as what we called Columbina to save her was clearly padding to increase the runtime of the story. There was only one real tangible piece of information there and that was the question about who "he" was but that could have easily played out in the previous section about changing the past. Just have that guy say "he" told me to go this way. Or "he" told me to trust in the marked barriers. Probably would have been more fitting since that section included Wanderer who has personal business with "him."
Anyway next up is the finale. It is long. But there's plenty of stuff to unpack.
