Question for those that finished this and said it was too easy.
Do you always play, enjoy and excel at puzzle games?
Such a beautiful game but some of the puzzles went right over my head. Any tips for a puzzle novice?
Happened to my playing Limbo and Inside as well. Hit a wall and couldn’t move forward despite being really interested to see how things progress.
I mean I play puzzle games if they interest me but I don't go out of my way to seek them out or anything. I did find this game very simple and pretty short because or that.
I enjoy Phoenix Wright, Ghost Trick, Rain Code etc. As for advice, it's not always about immediately seeing the big picture but failing and retracing your steps.
So for example you do a thing that doesn't work, go back one step and see if the other action you can take works, if that fails go back anouther step and so on and so on.
When I see a puzzle my head naturally trys to work out the solution immediately, sometimes it comes to the correct conclusion and therefore the above is not necessary but if not I work the above step by step. Sometimes you will get a flash and immediately know where you went wrong several steps before, because something just "clicks" and jump back there.
I think in this game there where only 2 puzzles I needed to do step by step to figure out where I went wrong, everything else was either right first time or I knew where I messed up. Oh before I forget one last thing, if you are moving on from an area but a portion of the map has something you did not use to complete that section, make a mental note of it 90% of the time it's going to be something you use later on when your jumping around worlds to resolve an issue there. Quite often a solution would become immediately apparent because the trick was that I already knew in the back of my head I still needed to use a prior part of the map for a puzzle. You will over time naturally get a feel for the sort of logic the person who designed these was going for, I would be surprised if more that one person designed them in this for example, they felt very similair in their design
Not the best description I know but it's how I got through it.
