Not a question regarding what to do, just trying to save a bit of time:
Treehouse +Puzzles:
Treehouse +Puzzles:
Is there a way to get out of the treehouses besides the bridges leading to the exit? It's getting a bit tiring to reorganize the bridges, leave by boat, walk back, and find that I did something wrong with the positioning of the bridges
The logic is ridiculous with this puzzle.
So I guess you don't need to literally remove a 2x2 cube within the outline while still including the tetris blocks. You just need to exclude the number of blue squares any way you see fit.
okay I have no idea what the trick to puzzles with these symbols are. someone just tell me please:
bahaha, love that we both asked at the same time. Thanks all!
How spooky! How funny we both had the exact same issue xD

Check out my crude illustration a few posts back.

It's a pretty common puzzle to trip people up.
Have you ever had a friend who gets a girlfriend and never hangs out with his old friends anymore? Those symbols are that guy.

Damn, I still can't seem to figure it out. Any chance of a straight up spoiler? I'm itching for some more puzzles but can't find the way into them.
This game... WOW!!
End game spoilers:
If anyone who's beaten it knows what I'm referring to at the end of that spoiler then let's discuss, cause this shit is fucking wild.
End game spoilers:
Just finished it after getting 11 lasers... Those last puzzles made me want to rip my hair out. The hardest one by far was the ones you had to complete on the door with the timer and then they switched when you failed. I need time to process that took me over 30 minutes alone even though the actual puzzles weren't that difficult. I also reloaded my save and walked back through the ending parts, and noticed something strange about the box you have to open at the top of the tower.

The OT2 thing was unrelated. The other bit was meant to be a hint.
Shit. Thanks for that. I would have never gotten this because
it would have never crossed my mind to think that the shapes can overlap, nonetheless be required to include that 2x2 blue cube.

294 +17 (~45%) puzzles complete, multiple pages of crazy person drawings, an ever growing photoshop file, and 17 hours on the clock and still utterly enamored. I am so glad that I am not even half finished with this game. I might be progressing a little slower than some, not sure. Already have
activated. I find myself wandering back into old areas time and again as I learn new things and often find stuff I've missed. What an endlessly fascinating and fantastic game.
I said to a friend yesterday, I think Portal 2 is the best puzzle game, and The Witness is the best puzzle game.

OMG! Thanks dude. I wasn't going to be figure that out in a hurry. I'd thrown that whole process out the window too early it seems.
Just when I start to get somewhere with the tetris pieces I hit a wall. I appreciate the idea of them but it's more aggravating than interesting to solve them half the time :/

I don't quite understand how the gaps work. Are they literally just difficulty barriers not being able to use those lines? I thought it might mean that the block it is connected to gets counted as one but I guess not.

Haha when I first looked there, part of it was
still locked because I hadn't redirected that one laser toward the mountain.

Didn't think I'd be taking pictures of my TV or opening MS Paint to progress in a video game, but here we are.
This game is pretty legit.

I haven't beaten those last puzzles after the random door, but I did hit that secondary switch on the underside of the box. Did you solve the panel puzzle?
Did you solve the panel puzzle?It seems like you and I have had a similar pace, haha.

I am so glad I got my new phone in time for this game. My previous had a broken camera.

Can someone explain this type of puzzle to me? I kinda stumbled my way through the first few without actually learning the rules.

Redo the first few. Purposely fail. Try to intuit the rules.

Not that its a big deal but I notice the OP says the PS4 version is 900p 60fps. Correct me if I am wrong but it should be 1080p 60fps, shouldn't it?
Then I'm even furtherer away than I thought xD

So like I said earlier, I restarted my game out of frustration over not getting the tetris stuff. Well I got it now, so mission accomplished! Plowing through some puzzles now.
God I'm losing it too. I'm on the last one and can't get it. Driving me insane.

I've tried everything I can think of. I know
there are like 4 actual star colors, and I think I've mapped them all out. But what I've mapped out seems impossible to solve. Stuff in the bottom-left goes with stuff in the top-right, and stuff in the bottom-right goes with the top-left. I had no problem with the other puzzle in here, but I've been on this all day.

Edit: N/m missed the stars, I'll have a look at my save
Probably overthinking it, excuse my semi dead touchpad on my laptop but you get the gist.

Let the shape bridge the gap so you don't have to worry about it.
Yeah we hit all the same parts around the same time it seems lolI haven't beaten those last puzzles after the random door, but I did hit that secondary switch on the underside of the box.
It seems like you and I have had a similar pace, haha.
But yeah,
I got that panel complete. The only thing I'd say is to take a picture of the complete solution once you get it.
Haha yeah.
I watched this for a while, saw how little progress it made and decided I don't have time for this right now. I went back to the start to solve the pillar puzzle and unlock the dev ending. After that I loaded my game again and went back into the caves. I was very surprised when I heard the sound of the tape still echoing through the cave.
I think you can freely jump to specific parts of the video by only partly drawing the shape.

Seriously,
and he even mocks us by talking about the appeal of easter eggs and hidden puzzles. It's one of the 8/9 hidden puzzles left for me, I think, so I'm just going to do something else right now and hope I don't miss the moon.
If only it were so easy...
It looks different under different lighting: http://i.imgur.com/gR1C3y0.png

Yeah you can, but
the environmental puzzle starts when the moon is at the beginning of the video, and ends at the end, and you have to do it from the back of the screen
Make a table on what color they are under each lighting and then you should see who you need to separate
