So I recently got a new monitor and was really surprised that there's been no major issues with blacklight bleeding or anything. I just launched this game up and walking around felt like something was wrong with the screen. I look, and I see that all of the edges of the screen are dim, and couldn't believe I hadn't immediately noticed such a huge issue with monitor!
It's just a stylistic choice in the game. Man I was really freaking out for a second.

Stuck on this tetris puzzle in the village for a while, anyone give me a subtle tip?

There's a way too, they figured it out I see.

There is a line puzzle at the bottom of the door that unlocks the door. It was so small.
Thank you tho.
I was so jazzed that I kind of wasn't thinking right... I've been keeping myself a football fields length away from spoilers... outside of that one

Ah, thought you were talking about after.

To be fair I wasn't awfully specific.
Someone help me understand this puzzle inside the mountain.
Possibility #1 for the shape makes separating the left purple and green squares and option #2 makes pairing the green star impossible with a green square. What am I misunderstanding here?

Gosh I was getting so close and knew that but it didn't click until now because I was making it harder in my head. Lol thanks I got it now.
I know, my post says as much, but I don't see how that is physically possible with this layout. Unless I am brainfarting and missing something with the tetromino the two options I drew are the only possible places for it to go.

Just focus on isolating the two green dots first, then the solution should present itself

Alternative 1 is the one to go. 
You can pair the green starburst with the tetromino shape.

I can't figure out this
puzzle for the life of me. It's pretty much the only thing I have left to do. Any hints?

That is now officially acknowledged as one of the hardest puzzles in the game - I don't know if it helps to approach it that way.
And it was so satisfying to figure it out. Let's see...
You will know it when the sound matches. Take as long as you need to pick it out.

I really hope thats not what I have to do cause I am way to lazy to do that.
You don't have to, but it would make it a lot easier. It is also really easy if you have a smartphone.
Currently in the treetops section. Loving it so far, this is one hell of a scenic place. But god I've hit a brick wall.
I hate when you're looking at something and no matter what you try/think it seems impossible.. But it makes it all the sweeter when it clicks.
I'm at the part where it splits off fairly early on. Middle path goes up to the pink tree with the door opening panel. Left and right go to areas with platforms to open across. Stuck on all panels partway through on both sides :'(

This is relating to "+". Don't look unless you know what they are.
is there any way of knowing if the last + you're looking for in an area is underground or in the sky? Like, I have one left in the sand ruin/symmetry and it's killing me.

Yeah, I did notice this.

The "one black star" puzzle in the treehouses that teaches this is pretty infamous in this thread by now.
Yeah, I did notice this.
I haven't actually started looking for real. Now I'm concerned.
Just finished the forest. First area I completed. There is a puzzle in the bun
It's incredibly frustrating.
ker that is driving me insane. I see that the pillar has a circle on it. I see that the broken wall makes a line. I see it game, but every combination I do does jack. It's the first time I felt like I "got" it but I can't "do" it.

Don't worry too much. They're still, like, within a zone and
still in the same *general* direction. There are some in the underground sand ruins that appear on two adjacent sides of the pole.

Do the colors matter
Finally beat that floor puzzle at the bottom of the mountain and feel so good. The best "aha" moment happened when I realized that
I have a bunch of sketches of how those pieces could have fit together, definitely more than any puzzle, and now I have bested it.
though one of the panels contained crooked Tetris pieces, the shape you create with it doesn't share those characteristics.

It's a fantastically challenging finale. I spent two hours working through solving it and when I found its solution, it was the highest point of the game for me.
So I was missing a single puzzle, and it turns out all I had to do was trigger the ending to get it. For some reason I loaded an older save after the first time I did that.
Besides that I'm just missing an audio log, and I'm starting to wonder if it's a bug or something. It actually wouldn't be the first time.

For someone who asking for help on a puzzle near the bamboo area:
I am in the midst of doing the audio frequency puzzles and I'm on what I believe to be the second to last of them. On this puzzle there are 5 chirps with a prolonged howl distracting your hearing. There exist only 4 peaks on this board, but there are 5 chirps. I have suspected that I must double back then move forward again, but I'm trying to solve the puzzle without brute forcing and the possible paths for doubling back just don't line up with what I'm hearing. Can someone tell me if I am thinking about this puzzle wrong, or that I must be hearing wrong. Should I give up on doubling back or just listen better. This section has been really annoying, because I am really bad at differentiating the chirps as highs mids or lows, but at the same time I don't want to look up answers.
Well, I thought I was going to finish the golden forest tonight. Instead I finished the quarry. :lol
Three beacons activated. Baby steps!
I can't figure out how to open the other half of the door on the forest laser. So I follow it around and find a bunch of panels behind the sawmill still not lit up. One of them is lit, but it also has a door halfway open. I need to find what it connects to. I thought it ran to the sawmill - which thanks to my roaming around the treetops, I could solve. Only that lit the quarry beacon instead. I'll take it!

You are right that it is impossible to enter the chirps on that puzzle.
The game also has a way of hinting at this.
Did you notice that there are two audio logs at the jungle entrance?
Just keep trying and see if you can eliminate any options.

. 44 hours or so to that point. What a glorious game. A masterpiece.
the challenge
Solved a garden maze by chance,
the one that doesn't seem to give a hint (there's another one that doesn't seem to give an obvious hint and I can't solve it). A bit disillusioned that I solved by chance and can't figure how to do it:/
People, how do I branch to another save? I accidentally branched my save once but can't see any options to do that.

They are completely random, as is the rest of the challenge. But maybe there is a way to notice where they are...
Solution -
The second puzzle, the cube. Where the yellow marks are is where the puzzles will be.

Saves branch automatically after approximately every 110 puzzles.
See the post right above yours!
So if I waited for 8 more puzzles, I could have figured out the rules for the branching save myself! Damn, that puzzle is now spoiled!
