    What do the logs look like. Where would the first be found? About 20 minutes in.

    They look like dictaphones and have a bright green display. Interact with them the same way you would a puzzle to play them.

    Yeah last night I got stuck in the same tetris puzzle area and decided to call it quits and explore elsewhere. There's just so much content in this game that whenever I feel like I'm getting flustered it's easy to walk away and try something else for a bit.

    I'm stuck

    Like, literally, actually stuck

    As in, I cannot get out of this area I am in until I solve this puzzle, and I do not know how to solve it

    Sigh

    Oh man I loved that puzzle train.

    Keep at it you'll figure it out!

    I just wrote up a post with pictures explaining why I was stuck on a particular puzzle and then solved it before hitting Post Reply. So... thanks, thread?

    The platform that carried me over here is immobile, solving it again does nothing

    So basically the game has said "fuck you, solve one of those two puzzles or else your game ends in a dead state here" and I have no earthly clue how to solve either of these

    This is where I was stuck last night, but the good news is there's a way back without solving either of these.
    you know the puzzle on the platform? It has two different solutions.

    It has to be more than two, because I've gotten two solutions and both keep me locked where I am

    But I guess I'll keep throwing my head against it looking for a third

    EDIT: Aaaaand I just got it, thanks!

    I loved that puzzle chain

    A small hint, that may or may not be helpful depending on how much of the puzzle's hook you've figured out
    Whichever starting spot you choose, that snake will be the white one.

    The last couple of puzzles in that sequence made me go, "Oh, FUCK you" once I realized what Blow was doing to me.

    For the door pictured.
    Try putting the straight four piece on the left to start with.

    Oh my god I just had the most face-slappingly "I'm so stupid" moment when I finally figured out that one green panel that
    has a small L Tetris piece and a single square to the upper right of it

    Oh my god

    I've figured out that much, I just can't get everything to line up right that I could finish it

    I always lock myself out of either one of the dots or the exit

    The puzzles in the

    are my favourites so far. Just a constant stream of quick "dang I have no ide-OH WAIT" moments over and over. Hook that feeling right into my veins

    Hmm

    Well, I solved this one, but now I'm not sure how and it's completely fucked my understanding of previous puzzles of this type
    hmDZnsF.jpg?1

    My previous understanding of this was that the piece you sectioned off with the line could contain that shape and only that shape, unless it was in junction with another shape

    I don't even know what the fuck to make of this

    I'm not sure how those two top squares are even factoring into the solution, the block of four and the block of two don't even reach up there

    Can the shapes just be anywhere on the grid?

    The sectioned off piece has to include the square showing the shape, but otherwise yes. So a block of four plus a block of two equals a block of six equals the solution to panels one and two.

    Basically yes
    The sectioned off area only has to be a combination of the shapes it contains

    That's why 1 and 2 can use the same solution

    Can a square be part of two separate shapes? I'm guessing no, but I'm still really stumped on those two puzzles up the stairs that I posted

    You move so painfully slow in this game (even when sprinting) and having to wait for this platform to move across the river is sooooo slow

    Think of it almost in terms of the Resident Evil suitcase minigame. You're sectioning off pieces of the puzzle that can be covered in the shapes listed. So the door you posted, for instance, start with putting the four piece tower on the very left and then try to place the other two pieces so they cover the bottom right and top right corners.

    I don't see why the rules don't apply to this one

    Everything within the outline is kosher

    There are 7 squares, four vertical, two horizontal, one single, contained in the shape, and it contains all the Tetris symbols

    It's been no different from the previous terminals except for the fact that it doesn't work

    It seems like you can't flip the pieces horizontally, though

    So for example, that vertical line of four, I can't truly Resident Evil that and switch it to a horizontal line of four

    I don't see how in the world it could be possible to group seven boxes together encompassing all three shapes without traveling along the walls and it counting as a break

    Yes, apparently, because I guess the puzzle border counts as a wall

    I'm honestly actually prettttty close to just dropping the game

    No, they do not. However, the shapes do need to be contained somewhere withing the group that contains their block.

    No I don't.
