According to the game, we're closer to the summit than I would have expected... but we've got some inner demons to sort things out with first.
I was surprised to be arriving at the summit in only my third playthrough segment. The final climb suddenly makes the Pico-8 version make a lot more sense. While the summit chapter is _extremely_ long overall, I didn't find it to have any difficulty spikes on the level of rooms I've previously called out in chapters 3 and 5. It's also pretty cool how it's executed, which largely justifies its length.
Going into this playthrough, I was vaguely aware that a vast majority of the game's content shows up after the "end". I didn't realize that would be applicable even to stuff prior to the B-sides. We'll have to dig into what comes after the epilogue next time...
