Tyler saying “maybe they’re mirrored” as his first guess, then discarding it even though it was the right answer and getting confused gives me pain.

The stuff in this game is so legendary and I'm happy it's got released. You saw a lot of areas in this first video, it's kind of surreal as a guest puzzle contributor seeing both of my puzzles in the same video :p
(my contributions are the idea for the water pillar at 13:58 although the dev did improve on my initial design, and the final Shrine puzzle at 33:46)

The way Tyler usually seems to struggle with tutorials then when he's learned the concept the solutions comes to him before I have even registered that there's a puzzle always baffles me!

Don't know if anyone answered this, but I believe the first enviromental puzzle with the flowers and lattice was spos to show that you are to not just to look at the structures but also the world for the answers. Thats why the second one when it included the grass was solveable.

The reason there is 3 colors of wires is they determine the difficulty

Blue: easy
Yellow: medium
Red: hard

I would assume “easy” for late game puzzles are the same level as “hard” for easy puzzles as the game transitions and progresses

This looks so fucking sick dude, I hope this gets the recognition it deserves.

Having already played 10 hours of this game, I can tell you this is gonna be a great series VERY reminiscent of The Witness in the best way possible

3:30 The purpose of that first environment is too tell you that the environment mirrors the Tetris pieces. That's why it's a 1:1 copy – I think the intention is to make you watch the environment more closely, priming you for the second puzzle with the grass.

Watching Tyler pick up on patterns and rules so quickly has shown me the difference between being smart and having a high iq. And I fit neither.

[pikminman]

less than 3 minutes in and we are already introduced to environmental puzzles, thats either going to be great or pain, looking like great

[bodewyoming]

Five minutes into the video and this is already my favorite puzzle game you’ve ever played just from the background environment and how it gives the hints

[BaylorRobinson]

absolutely incredible. this right here is dedication at its finest, I hope the man who made it gets all the fulfillment and recognition in the world! :D its also a VERY solid puzzle game

[Yokozai]

I've been looking forward to you playing this for a while! Excited to see it's finally out!

[rintepis]

The worst thing about Tyler's video is that his puzzle game content is so good to the point I want to play them myself, and to avoid spoilers, I can't even watch Tyler playing them. Sure, I could go back and watch when I am done with the game, but usually I am not smart enough to finish them.

A spiritual successor to the witness more or less let’s go :p

27:53: by the rule of beauty I'd guess you have to combine them in pairs. This way the answer draws the same pattern as the clues but in a different orrientation, which would be beautiful.

[SilverFoxeGames]

This looks like a combo of Understand and The Witness, and I can’t wait for the next video to come out

[Alayric]

This looks great! Couldn't watch more than 2 mins of it because now that I want to buy it I don't want to spoil myself

28:50 Facepalm moment, he could have made a bridge connecting all sides by changing one tile. Swap upper-left corner for the tile diagonal to it.

This is exactly what I needed at 1am before bed. Glad to have you back.
