Does anyone have problem with the sound ? It's shuttering a lot even on low quality

 

[Diprosalic]

The blocks at the bottom make up 3 squares, not 2.

Spoiler

yeah but how do you get the 4 part then. i thought it needs to be in the actual shape.

can you help me?

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

The panel at the

Spoiler

quarry-looking place that pretty much gains you entrance (the Tetris-like blocks)

is giving me a headache. Any tips? I'm ready to take some after trying for half an hour.

You can do this. You almost have the answer already.
Actually you have the answer just in the wrong order.
You're so close :]

separating all the colors (in this case; blue, white, yellow, and red.

Help.

Someone pls I just can't.

 

[oatmeal]

This would have been a good "school yard" game before Internet.

Months and months of playing.

this one stumped me too, can you pm me once you got it?
i can't figure it out.

That much I know, but that particular puzzle is troubling me :/

 

[justjim89]

Seriously, any help on where the

reflective spot/water height

is for this panel? I've been circling this room

Spoiler

adjusting the water

for an hour now and nothing. This is shitty game design, having to aimlessly wander and repeat the puzzle over and over until you happen to luck into the right spot.

 

[mattiewheels]

This games making me realize something I remember loving about other games whenever it happens, but there's something really satisfying to me about following a cable through an environment that's kind of a puzzle in itself. I remember thinking the same thing about those red lines on the ground in Fallout 4 too, but this game has a way of threading these really elegantly around the world.

[Nivert]

I'm not exactly asking for help, just venting, but I'm confused about the tetremino puzzles in the swamp scaffolding. I mean, I think I see all the rules of how they can be

Spoiler

grouped

, but it's not accepting my input for one that clearly follows all of the rules I've learned, and there's no real error in it anywhere. Jeez.

I think that's the same place I stopped for now and was also confused because I was pretty sure I had it solved.

 

[zsynqx]

nope.

Fixed

[Admiral Snackbar]

Just opened my first laser on the

Spoiler

rock island

and I'm crazy about this game already. Been stumped a few times and would wander around until something struck me. So satisfying.

These audio diaries are creepy, though. Are we sure it isn't just going to be a metaphor for

Spoiler

the atom bomb

like Braid?

 

[piccolo85]

Some of the perspective stuff is just awful.

Spoiler

Currently in the second basement level of the temple, with the raising and lowering water levels. Some of the panels are just frustrating to find out where they reflect. Slowly raising the water levels over and over wandering around the room trying to find the one spot where the screen reflects. I know what to do, it's just frustrating bullshit.

Having a basic understanding of physics, perspective and how light reflects from surfaces helps...

 

[oatmeal]

Start down

 

[Belgian Dude]

I've read that spoiler part about 10 times and still don't understand how it would change

Spoiler

On the start of the bunker you see the panels through the yellow/blue walls, right? They change the colors of the squares. It's the same thing on the elevator - each floor has a different lighting (red, magenta, blue, cyan, green, white) that will change the colors you see.

From the cyan floor you can see that the floor of the broken cable is green, so you think on what colors of the panel will be the same. The yellow and white will mesh (because both yellow and white have green) while the blue will be different, so you just separate the blue from the rest.

 

[Deputy Dangle]

First episode of my playthrough! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlZfguwGyNs

(Spoiler wise, this covers the initial area, the nearby vault, and the canyon area where the puzzles are based on

Spoiler

symmetry

.)

The very beginning got cut off, but all that's missing is me saying "Hello, I'm Arthur..."

Watching this made me realize that I say "uh" and "um" way too much, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with it so far, especially having never done a Let's Play before. I'm curious to know what you all think!

Just wanted to say I appreciated how thorough you were in exploring every nook and cranny of the starting area. I experienced multiple epiphanies of stuff I missed just in that area alone. This game is turning my head upside down. I love it.

i actually just got it. i forgot that you can rearrange all the shapes. i thought it had to touch the icon.


thanks a lot anyway

I'd imagine the back half of puzzles aren't easy.

Something like that.

[Mifune]

I think it's a bit sad that already in just a few hours of the game coming out, people are asking for help with puzzles and their mechanics. It practically destroys part of the joy of the game in my opinion, which is discovering these mechanics and have these moments of inspiration. In a lot of cases, not understanding how to find the mechanisms / solutions is just going to make you more confused later too.

I've found it best to just think on things or explore a bit, and often you get a whole bunch of ideas or a moment of inspiration and work things out, which is so so good in these games. I'd hate to lose that "first time" moment for this game, which is so good with so little knowledge and working things out for yourself

I see people asking for help with the first area. It's not that hard, guys! Just take your time, explore, and the answer will come to you. It's like everyone is hell-bent on being the first to finish or something. Savor this shit.

As I was completing it I actually thought it would be awful for colorblind people. Some of them are very close.

I assume it doesn't matter what order you go around the island?

 

[amnesiac]

Good on them for actually making the subtitles readable! In most games they're so small.

 

[DarkChronic]

Wow! Just finished the first area.

Spoiler

The rock island with the symmetry puzzles. I was absolutely stumped with the fading yellow puzzles - I kept looking for a way to power the opposite side. Then I realized they wanted me to do the puzzles blind, without the yellow!

Crazy cool stuff.

This game is fascinating. I don't think I've ever played something quite like this.

If I remember correctly you trap the blue/red in the corners and draw a line across the middle to separate white/yellow.

Sucks but I think it'll be necessary.

This one drove me right up the wall. While it doesn't necessarily break a rule, it does paint one in a new light. Here's a hint:

Spoiler

Just because you have to separate the colors, doesn't mean you can't separate two boxes of the same color... as long as no color touches a different color.

rocks in the water that you outline

I have 350 puzzles and 8 out of 11 areas, but that's still half the puzzles (and I'm already dropping my speed considerably) missing with about 17 hours in. I still have a checklist of about 50 things I want to do next.

Yeah, that sucks. I think it's the only one that recquires that, the others in the bunker can still be done by separating tone. Hope it's not a problem when you get there, though!
