It's how the game deals with collectables. Look around for some black pillars and you'll see.
Where does the game show how many puzzles you've solved?
You can see it when you select "Load save".

Select 'load game'. It autosaves, so you can see it and then back out.

Man, this game is intense. I'm maybe two hours in and I've already found so many secrets and things whose meaning I don't understand. This is going to be a wild ride.
Does anyone know if there is a point of no return in the game after which you can't return to the world to find everything?

i never play first person games because i tend to get motion sickness from them. i tried to power through it for alien isolation and that was REAL bad, so i had to give up. but i was hoping this would be fine for some reason
man...im not giving up yet, im gonna see if i can sit through the gb quicklook
but fuck, ive been waiting for this game for so long lol sigh
GameFAQs post! :'(
HAHAHAHA, oh man I shouldn't laugh but lordy!
On the bright side, even though it makes me want to barf, the game keeps dragging me back in. Thanks Mr. Blow! *urk

Can't wait to try it out tonight.

I did actually read some of the reviews before posting. Seems like the game does have overwhelmingly positive reception and I have no objection with that. Still seems overpriced in the end for the amount of content considering big publisher released games with 100+ content for less of a price. Making 3D is hard I get it but Civilization V for example looks like a much more complex game that I imagine was more expensive to make. /shrug.

I think it's just a low FOV thing. Some people are more affected by it than others. If that sort of thing bothers you, it may be good to wait and see if it can be changed on the PC version.

Trying this again... thread is fast lol
I want to ask before I buy the game... Can a Deaf person complete this game? Like are subtitles included? Is there any puzzles that require hearing sound? Any info would be great! Thanks and I appreciate it.

God damn this game is dope, the art is so deliberate. So many hidden little shapes and stuff.
The reason you got the response you are getting is because you are asking people to make a value judgement on YOUR monies. No one can do that. The game is good. It is a puzzle game and (so far) a well made one at that. If you do not like puzzle games then wait for it to go on sale. If you are expecting anything OTHER than puzzles, then you are going to be disappointed.
Yes. And not really. There are audio clues, but unless you're also blind you wont have an issue.

I have heard that there is one area that does have sound puzzles, but keep in mind you only need to solve I think 7 out of 11 areas to finish the game. There are subtitles for the audio logs too.
From what I've played, there are no puzzles that rely on audio and there are indeed subtitle options in the pause menu. I'm not very far in yet so maybe there will be some puzzles of that sort later on.

Spoilers for puzzles:
So far the only sequence that had an audio puzzle I have encountered also had an alternate path of puzzles that did not rely on the sound, but I am still early on.
Impressions after a couple of minutes:
I stared at the hanging purple flowers right outside the starting tunnel for a long time. They're gorgeous.
I just had my first 'Holy Shit' moment. Only about 30 mins in and taking it really slow, I saw something, tried it and was like..... Hmm, I wonder if.... Oh.... OH.
Edit: I have also had to take a break for motion sickness reasons. I'll get some seasickness tablets in for this one.

Why do you equate amount of content or complexity with value? I would pay $60 for a simple but incredible 6 hour game, and I wouldn't pay more than $10 for the most complex, but sub par 80 hour epic.
Even then, I don't know where you got 10-15 hours from. I've heard everywhere between 20-40 hours to reach the ending, and several more if you try to beat every single puzzle.
Not sure if this has been posted before, but here's a video of some secret stuff right in the beginning of the game. Spoilers (I think?) ahead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z195lYwIKB4

Man glad I'm playing on PC, I knew what I had to do for one puzzle but couldn't visualize it so I took a screenshot and
I was stuck on that for like 10 minutes even though I had already figured it out.
flipped horizontally and vertically to get the answer.

how do you check your panels solved?
I already encountered one puzzle that relied on sound. I don't think there would be a way for you to solve it, sadly :/
The "Load save" menu tells you how many you've solved.
Could you check if it was properly subtitled/captioned?

That will do for today, 250 puzzles solved and nearly 7 areas done. Might need some time process everything, there is a lot to think about. Fantastic game!

God damn this makes me feel so stupid already. I'm currently on the puzzles where you have to
I've been banging my head against this for 45 minutes. Any hints? If this game just exists to make me feel dumb I might just get a refund before I hit 2 hours.
control two lines and cover all the dots, like the 3rd in a set of 5. But there's just no route where it covers both sets of dots, because often dots with be in opposing directions and I can't double back since you can't overlap lines.
