Order of the Sinking Star seems to be more successful than The Witness.
10 years of work seem to have paid off. But I hope I don't have to wait another ten years for the next game.

In the game's demo, on the West ther was only one level, and it was almost entirely copied from Promesst 1, just in a more polished form.
But Promesst 2 is completely different. Unlike Promesst 1, it is brutally hard. I spent multiple days and 7.23 hours on it, which is similar to the amount of time I spent on the entire demo of OOTSS, and honestly, it was not very enjoyable, or more correctly painful enjoyable .
The difficulty increase from the first game to the sequel feels like a tenfold jump (literally i spend almost 10 times more time on sequel ). If the next level of OOTSS is like this, I am pretty sure that many players will not finish it.
Has John talked anywhere about the difficulty of these later levels? Or has someone completed Promesst 2, and maybe I am just bad at this puzzle?
Because it was so hard that I think I need vacation from puzzle games after finishing this.
There were 1,459,455 valid votes, meaning the threshold is:
1,459,455 × 0.04 = 58,378.2
This means that to pass the threshold, a party would need at least 58,379 votes.
Ironically, he received exactly 58,378 votes, missing the threshold by just one vote.
But I do not know, because that does not seem correct. His result would not be 3.996%; it would be about 3.9999%. To get 3.996%, we would need to calculate the percentage using the total number of votes cast, including invalid ballots, rather than only the valid votes.
But anyway, his chances of passing are probably about 50–50 because of the recount, sadly.
So the election has not ended yet, but the results are unlikely to change with the remaining votes.
First, Civil Contract won a majority with about 61% of the parlament and 64 seats, plus or minus one seat. However, the main thing is that it does not have a constitutional majority, so it may struggle to do what it expected, such as adopting a new constitution, implementing major constitutional reforms, or making constitutional changes related to peace agreements.
There are three parties in parliament: Civil Contract, Strong Armenia, and the Armenia Alliance.
Congratulations, we did not allow rapist Gagik Tsarukyan and his Prosperous Armenia party to enter parliament. From the screenshot, it might seem that they are very close, but there is almost no chance of them entering parliament.
The bad news is that there is no Western-oriented opposition represented in parliament. The good news is that one Western-oriented party, the Armenian Meritocratic Party, received enough support to qualify for government financing, which is at least a partial success. By the way, it's around $75,000 a year.
Still, it is very sad that neither New Power, nor the Republic Party, nor For the Republic managed to enter parliament or even qualify for government financing.

P.S. NO 1
in some other sources, it may seem that Gagik passed the 4% threshold, but I think that is due to rounding.
Based on the figures I saw, there were 1,476,597 votes cast. The 4% threshold would therefore be:
1,476,597 × 0.04 = 59,063.88
This means a party would need at least 59,064 votes to pass the threshold.
However, websites such as Azatutyun show Prosperous Armenia with 58,368 votes while displaying the result as 4%. That suggests the percentage is being rounded for presentation purposes. Based on the raw vote count, the party would most likely be below the threshold .
P.S. NO 2 The rounding issue was not just my own assumption. Radar Armenia also wrote:

P.S. NO 3
Azatutiun was rigth i was wrong
there are 26,142 invalid ballots, so he qualifies.
P.S. NO 4
I was rigth Azatutiun was wrong
he got 3.996% he lose. acording Central Election Commission.
P.S. NO 5
Also, the Election Commission stated that a decision has been made to recount the ballots at all polling stations, regardless of whether the opposition formally requests it.
Because of that, dod still has a chance of entering parliament.
