Think back to before, remember what makes what. Very clever moment I thought.

Thank you, thank you. Can't believe I didn't try standing behind it
Quick question for anyone who has done the puzzles quite early on near the pink blossom trees.
What is the point of these? Is it just a tutorial?
What is the point of these? Is it just a tutorial?
I solved them all but all it lead to was a small area where someone had cut up and eaten part of an apple, and there was a desk where someone had done some detailed sketches of a heart and connecting veins. But the trail stopped there? Did I miss something?
I don't want to ask help just yet but it's super frustrating to get stuck :/ I'm in an area where I think I have to solve a few puzzles to get out, but I just can't figure them out. Need to take a break I guess. Kinda odd to see people get stuck. I thought Blow said the game was designed to prevent that kind of frustration when you just don't know what to do. That's why it's open world. And then there are areas where they lock you in.

Question about that rock puzzle.
I got to the last one and knew that you need to line them up with the rocks, the third one was a bit hard, since the actual rocks are not the one you see, but I dont have a clue how to solve the last one.

Maybe (just thinking out loud as I,m stuck there)
the fruit will look different in the different colours lights from each floor, and that can help you understand what colour the dots will be for the next floor? So you can activate the next cable?
Also any tips for the temp,e would be gratefully received. I opened
one set of shutters by doing the bonsai, but now hit a dead end. The trellis outside is confusing me too - do the leaves on the floor tell me something or do I have to open those shutters to give me a clue

OH. Right. That makes sense. That's kind of annoying, though.
This game is spooky. I was playing late last night with headphones on and the eerie mix of natural and artificial sounds had me on edge.
And I can't speak for anyone else, but I like the lack of narrative. The puzzles and environment are the narrative and tell me all I need to know.
Can't wait to get back to it tonight.

Yeah. I got that, but
the last one I cant kinda let them line up with the rocks at the right. The third one worked. The last one didnt. Maybe I did something wrong.
I'm still in the
.
I've completed the lower row of puzzles there. Now I have the ones on the gantry. I've solved four of them by complete accident.
Am I correct in thinking that

I have to keep one green block and the white icon with all the reds and separate out the other greens?

It's so you don't just bruteforce the solution.
Holy crap! I didn't even notice that. That's amazing.

I was disappointed to find what I thought would be the boat was actually not.
When I beat the puzzles in the hut after the symmetry ones and the wall folded down I was sure I'd unlocked the boat but after finishing the puzzles I'm the room I found nothing.

That bunker place by the stream/waterfall thing.
whats the little tripoint thing? What should I be doing here?
Right, I'm leaving it for the night. Currently on 81 panels after 3 hours play.
I walked to the desert area, but had NO IDEA what to do, so now I'm in the castle trying to solve those puzzles with the floors that light up when you walk on them. Got stuck on the second one so now I'm leaving it before I get a headache.

I'd tried that, but I grouped the wrong stuff.
Thanks for setting me back on that path.

How do you solve the second to last puzzle in that section?
It's 7:18 in this video
The guy gives the solution but doesn't show how he came to the answer.
Yeah, you could get it right within a minute without knowing what you're doing. Which defeats the purpose of the puzzle.
A throwback to Open University on BBC 2.

Yeah! And thx!
If someone is stock at a
blue and yellow
And i looooooooved that first audio log!
Now i'm at the sand temple!
That is literally the only path he can take that doesn't cut through one of the rocks. That's all there is to that one.

Is there a demo planned? Would love to try it before I buy. All the reviews sound great but I am not sure about it.
I'm playing on PC (Win10, HD7970. i7 2600k, 16GB DDR3), and the game hard-crashed my computer four times in three hours. Not even a blue screen. I had to disconnect power so I could boot up my PC again. The latest crash deleted my save too. I had solved around a 100 puzzles already. Fucking hell...
Otherwise loving the game. But I'm pretty pissed off right now.

Thanks, now I know to look around and experiment more on new things.

I'm assuming you guys mean
using the coloured windows on the ground floor (before the shipping crate) to figure out what colour the blobs would turn under green light, but it's impossible to figure out what colour yellow would be.
I kind of hate this

I played 2-3 hours this morning with my roommate watching. It was a lot of fun. Totally natural. It's great to have someone to talk things through with. And as long as you're both contributing equally in the problem-solving it should be pretty satisfying. That way no one is stealing too many revelatory moments from each other.

Help? on last room of the desert. I think I may have skipped a puzzle.
I managed to solve one side, but then tried to solve the rectangular one with some boards in front, and couldn't do it. Solved the one next to it and apparently I skipped that one? The laser 'opener' is open but the rectangular one with the boards in front is not solved.

120 panels solved,
I'm calling it a night.
Love this game so far, some tricky stuff.

How? I tried looking at the colours etc, but if I make a mistake the lift goes all the way back to the ground floor which is bloody annoying.

Not having music is also a musical choice which is something you appear to be incapable of understanding. In other words, choice of music can have a major impact on the experience of a game. Choosing to not have music can also have a major impact on the experience.
Having played the game a bit, I think music of any kind would be very obtrusive. This is a game where music simply isn't needed.
Lol this thread is hilarious. Just endless "I'm stuck" posts one after another. I'll be making plenty of my own when I continue playing tomorrow night.
Edit: on another note now that I've just come off the game, I'm feeling quite light headed and woozy. Using my brain has physically pained me.

Lol I have no idea what it did? Pause the game and go to load game. You can see the number of solved panels there.
what am I not understanding about this puzzle? http://imgur.com/dUePciq

Fuck at the gradual teaching in this game. It's pretty awesome.(No spoilers, I'll just say...Blue and Yellow)

Imagine you are playing tetris. What kind of shape can you make with those two pieces? Make that shape and make sure the little pieces are within the shape you make, and you should be good to go.
