wtf is gothic-remake-lockbreaker?

Gothic Remake Lockpick Solver is a small browser-based tool that helps players solve the lockpicking puzzles in Gothic Remake, a 2025 PC game that reimagines the 2001 classic Gothic. The lockpicking system in that game requires players to manipulate a set of plates in a specific sequence to unlock doors and containers, and working out the optimal sequence can be tedious without a reference. The tool runs entirely in a web browser with no installation. A player inputs the number of plates in the lock (from one to seven), sets the starting positions of each plate, and describes which plates affect which others when moved. The solver then calculates a solution. There are two modes: one that minimizes the number of times you have to switch which plate you are working on (easier to execute in the game), and one that minimizes the total number of moves regardless of switching. Each mode targets a different kind of difficulty. The tool supports shareable URLs, which means once a player has set up a particular lock configuration, they can copy a link and share it with others who are stuck on the same puzzle. No account or registration is needed. The project is fan-made and states clearly in the README that it has no affiliation with Alkimia Interactive or THQ Nordic, the studio and publisher behind the game. The repository is primarily HTML and is deployed at an external website. The README is brief and focused on how to use the app rather than on the code behind it.
