Instead of Nf7+, I'd go Ne6+ Kc8 Qe8#

Oh. Then there's probably Qb6+ and Raf8 followed by Ne4, at which point my visualization breaks down...

1.Qf8+ Rxf8 2. Bxe5+ Rf6 3. Rxf1 ... followed by trading everything off on f6 while still attacking a8?

Qg3+ Rc7 Rd8#

Qg3+ Ka8 Rd8!
The pin on the rook ruling out RxN, causing an even more unstoppable version of ye ole double-check smothered mate trick (Nc7+ Kb8 Na6++ Ka8 Qb8+ Rxb8 Nc7#)
b6? Rxc8+ Kb7 Qc7#
a6? Rxc8+ Ka7 b6#

1. Bxf7++
(double checks being the only thing more forcing then a check, with the added bonus of corralling the king.)
If Kh7 2.Qg6+ Kh8 3.Qh6# (similarly if 1. Kh8 2.Qh6#)
If Kf7 2.Qxf6+, if Ke8 then 3. Qxf8#, If Kf8 then 3.Qf6+ Kh8 4.Rxf8#

Pretty new to Bluesky but we definitely need Spoiler tags

Qg7+ Ke6 Rxd8 threatening Rd6# and if Nxd8 Qe7#

I used to love how you could find the Asterix and Tintin comics in pretty much every language. It very much felt like it was a kid-friendly Rosetta Stone.
