toxicitizen Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Honestly, I have a feeling that this game is going to be kinda like Fez and that there's a lot more to it that hasn't been discovered yet. Other than just finding all the remaining puzzles and activating all the lasers, I've also found two big "wtf is this about" things to work towards. First, there's the environmental puzzles, which add a separate + puzzle counter on your save files. They're related to the weird black "humming" pillars that are found throughout the island. Solving them makes some weird glyphs appear on the pillars. The other one is found in an underground room hidden under the windmill near the village. There's a sort of theater-like area with a screen and a single panel that you can input different solutions into (which are found in weird little boxes throughout the island). Each one unlocks a video, though I've only watched the first one so far. I wouldn't be surprised if there was more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted February 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 There's also puzzles you can solve IN those videos. Some are even only viewable behind the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy shit, for real?! O_O edit: Damn it, now I'm firing up the game when what I really should be firing up is Visual Studio...

TheMightyEthan Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 I noticed the river and the panel, and I activated the panel but it didn't seem to do anything. Never crossed my mind to try the river itself. Now I'm thinking of at least 3 right off the top of my head I need to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Holy shit. I'd found the video room (and even unlocked 3 of the videos) but not puzzles in the videos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCP Posted February 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 In the town, go to the top of the bell tower and look at the black lines, start at the black circle and follow it out. The black totem is nearby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Yeah, that was one of the ones that came to mind. I kept looking at it thinking it was telling me the solution to a puzzle somewhere, but it had never occurred to me until this conversation that I should try activating it directly.

Hot Heart Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 whisperwhisperwhisperwhisper did you try combining the thing with the other thing? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Wow, what a jerk to come in here and mock us for no reason! Why don't you go play some board games, you nerd?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpholt Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 This is the first pizzle game in an awful long time that I flat out refuse to look for help on how to beat the game. It leads to some frustration, but you just can't best that feeling of satisfaction when you do finally get it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Goddamit Hot Heart got here before me. Anywho, from what I've seen from your lots posts so far (and others online) this isn't the game I thought it would be (not that I'd looked too deeply anyway).

toxicitizen Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Lol. They really aren't that bad, they're just poorly explained. Look at the spoiler tag in my first post on the previous page, maybe that'll help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Poorly explained? They're explained as well as any of the other puzzle types. *Edit - I think the Tetris area was the second laser I got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Meh, I thought a lot of the more complex puzzle mechanics weren't particularly well explained. You do like 4-5 tutorials easily but then you get the next one and it's like "Wait, wtf?" I can respect the attempt to communicate information to the player without words but it had its downsides.

Thursday Next Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 I've not come across the learner section for tetris puzzles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted February 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 The tetris puzzles weren't explained as well as some of the other ones. The suns, colour boxes, etc were all explained really well but FLD is right, tetris puzzles just kind of skip ahead and you're like "da fuq?". That said, at least they are explained unlike the single, double, or triple triangles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Did that require solving everything, environment included? There's only two achievements on PC, one for getting the regular ending and another one for "Completing a certain challenge", which I'm not sure what it refers to yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 It requires activating all 11 lasers, solving the "certain challenge", and beating the game. It does not require solving every single puzzle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 God dammit I want that platinum. Did you do the suspend-resume trick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 I didn't know there was such a trick. I just knew that pausing reset the puzzles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
