Right...but I can't figure out what to do with the single square piece. It doesn't fit in with any of the other shapes. And If I try to, then I end up with extra squares that aren't the defined shape and they all flash red. It's one away from the 1x2, and two away from the 1x4...and by itself it's seemingly impossible to section it off to just be on it's own

If you want to know some more spoilers for video clicking locations: the BBC video with that James fella, the circle of amino acids lines up with the frame of the door creating a line puzzle. When he flips through the book there's a circle which also lines up with a half circle on the frame of the window, like this: http://i.imgur.com/5fNVsCv.jpg. That's all I've found so far, but I don't think it's coincidence that you can see the screen all the way down the corridor and from the back, I'm sure there's much more that line up with stuff.

A small hint:
There's no requirement for the tetris piece in question to overlap its symbol on the grid; all that's necessary is for the symbol to be in that segment.
A more explicit one:
You can use all three pieces to make a single shape that will cover all three of the grid symbols.

and one third hint that should pretty much solve it for you:
try putting the 2 block in the upper right

On one half you draw on the shadows. When you cross over to the other half you draw between the shadows.

This game man
I feel like there are forced environment perspectives thar I am not fully grasping.
It feels so mysterious and dammit if Im not a little spooked
Speaking of which, I realllly wish there was nighttime in this game.
I actually love this feeling like Im not alone. I know Im making the story in my head, but I keep expecting to see something in the distance or in the forced perspectives (windows, random holes, etc)

Wow!
If the game gives you motion sickness the puzzles in the mountain is soooo much worse. Think I am legit nauseated and the game did not give me motion sickness

Yep.
I've tried doing that. I must be missing something very simple.
Start point is on the right in the gaps between shadows, and end point is in the shadow branches. So where to cross over?
Edit: Just got it, lol. Thanks.

I'm holding out hope that once you find everything there is to find there'll be a nighttime mode(I don't know or want any spoilers). To go along with what you've said, the actual statues have startled me quite a few times, and there's a few areas with disturbing sounds that really change the atmosphere(small spoiler)
the shipwreck and the creepy tree in the middle of the bamboo forest for two.
One of the puzzles I solved in a completely different way than I had before.
You can observe the flashing lights closely enough to figure out which ones are alike. You can then use steady state lights to figure out what matches. Something that's incorrect will make them flash. You can also tell when blinking lights are wrong, but it's slightly trickier to do so. Couple all of this information with the extremely limited number of ways it's even possible to fit some pieces and it creates just a few possibilities you have to consider.
I thought I would hate them, but those puzzles are among my favorite because of the process I used to solve them.

Can someone help with a color based panel? I'm in a tutorial and I did the first 7 nigh instantly but this last one to my eye seems literally impossible. We've been trying different things for about 15 minutes now.
Is there a rule I haven't figured out?
Edit: yes there was, I tried a different solution on the previous panel and it worked too giving me a better idea. Still stumped but on my way...
Edit edit: and I got it done! And the next one! On my own! Thanks for letting me vent... Feels good!
it is two blue, two purple two peach and two yellow paint splotches on a blue line paper background. The puzzles so far insist that each color be grouped entirely together. However it is seemingly physically impossible to pair these up because you can't cross the lines and it's only 4x4 and the center ones are horizontal and the outer ones are vertical.

I wonder if we will ever see dlc. Im 120 panels in and feeling sad to see and do so much
I just did the pink cables that are around the windmill. I feel like there should be an audio log at the end but I don't see it. Did I miss it?

I just booted up Photoshop and made
the shapes needed lmao. Solved the puzzle I was stuck on in two seconds.
Just laughed out loud.
Looking at it right now and I just realized how turn it. It's so obvious. Thanks for posting that picture.
The solution isn't that obvious, but I should have known how to turn it as soon as I figured it out.
I really can't believe I didn't figure it out. It's the same exact answer lol!
Wow.
I'm going to leave the area I was in and go back to that immediately when I get back in game.
smdh.
Seriously, how did I not see that. It's plain as day.

I've been doing that as well. I already realize the one I'm stuck on if probably not so bad, but when coming off doing all the others I need a break before I go back!

I have to admit, while I've been reading this thread so much to deal with withdrawal from the game while I'm unable to play it, it is sort of sad to see so many people asking for puzzle solutions instead of taking the time to try and work out what they have wrong on their own. There are some legit tough puzzles in the game, but I see a lot of people who when greeted with something even marginally different that they can't comprehend just come here to ask instead of thinking about what it means and how it fits into or contradicts what they know. Indeed, people seem to act as if a contradiction means the puzzle is wrong instead of themselves and their own thoughts which is, itself, entirely the wrong way to think. Finding a puzzle that you can't solve based on what you know just means that, well, what you know is wrong and you should take the opportunity to figure out what is RIGHT, not come on here bewildered about it.
People providing entire solutions instead of hints aren't helping :S I think I need to step back and out of this thread for a while, especially since more people are getting into territory that I haven't been yet and I don't want to spoil myself.

OK.....jumping back in after taking a night's break. I'm ready to stare at this temple/desert place again and figure it the hell out.
Question for anyone who has completed the game and started a new game plus, regarding new game plus
Do the Black monoliths progress carry over? It appears the environment puzzle from the laser door in the first area must be solved before it is deactivated, therefore i would be unable to solve that one in this play through, is that true?
Fractology

Thank you. You convinced me that I wasn't missing some rule. I
just cut out shapes from index cards and played with them over a grid-based cutting surface
Damn....The lengths I go to haha. This game is showing me which areas of my brain I'm deficient in.

You're exactly right. Knowing that should let you solve it.

All I will say is there is no new game plus. Don't start a new game. Reload your save. Trust me, don't be concerned with what you're concerned about.

Disregarding what I just said about leaving this thread, as far as I know there's nothing different about the post-endgame new game. You can reload your former save to continue working on stuff there without having to redo things, and as for that spoiler, okay well that was addressed above me.
Ok, 3 hours/115 puzzles in, I'm hooked. This game is brilliant; I can't decide whether the sheer amount of things to do from the get go is overwhelming, or if despite that openness, the progression is handled perfectly enough as to make the game seem that way and I'm sort of being led through the game.
I
and I can't get enough of how good every area looks and how well integrated the puzzles are in each area.
That said, where/when do I start learning about
I feel like that's my #1 roadblock atm. Just mention the general area, no specifics/any other spoiler, if possible.
I
activated the beam in the starting area, visited the castle, some place where a boat was which I assume is used for fast travel, the village, watched a movie below the windmill and a couple other places
That said, where/when do I start learning about
Tetris puzzles?
works for me. thank you! *back to game*
I don't think so.
The windmill puzzles I did in my first playthrough weren't lit up when I checked the monolith.

Haven't had a lot of time to play yet, about 80 panels in, and I thought I would wait and play it with my wife so we could work together. Tonight, however, I think I stumbled upon that "epiphany" people are talking about,
, and I don't know what to think. Consider me impressed, now I look forward to starting fresh with her and looking at everything differently. It's amazing how more knowledge you get about things changes the game and how you look at puzzles.
what gives you the + panel count
