Terrible puzzle desing.
I love puzzle game but this one was a pain in the azz. I hate to look for answers on youtube but this time a have not options. Terrible clues, no logic at all, the hints are completely no sense drives you to fail everytime, so frustating. I cant recommend this. This game is not intuitive and not puzzle friendly. I know is to late to adress it but here's an warning: if you like puzzle games to relax and are about to buy it, think twice.

If you doubt my words, search for some comments on youtube about those puzzles.

Thanks.

Interesting. I think this was one of the games where I didn't have to peak at a walkthrough or anything (I don't use youtube or watch videos of people playing), but I'm not 100% sure. Been a while.

But I grew up before the age of Internet, and when playing adventure games back then I could sometimes spend days finding the solution to something in them. Was very satisfying when I did! :steamhappy: After so much frustration... :lunar2019grinningpig:
Seems this Game is plagueing users with specific bugs that should have been already solved.
Was obviously more important to bring this to VR instead of making it work properly.

Some Letters in the translation got lost, and in one of the last puzzles, that one with the round stones and stargates, i was told the last starformation that changed way to early by looking more than once in the sky before i solved it.
But i dont want to be nitpicky.
Very easy or confusing Puzzles in the end. Misplaced informations if there are any. Artificially complicated.

There are not 200IQ puzzles here, even if you dont understand the puzzle with enough clicks you should be able to solve anything here..

I think I only got stuck 1-2 times and after I gave my brain some rest and approached the puzzle from a new angle I solved them (I might have used a walkthrough on one, not sure)

If you gathered all the clues the puzzles were easy.

Even by watching walk throughs from chapter 3 on I didn't understand what's going on and why (I am not a native English speaker, and played games long before the advent of Internet and Youtube, btw). Reading the comments hundreds (!) had the same experience. Reminds me of Woodruff and the Schnibble of Azimuth.

If frustration is your main motivation of playing games this is one of your best choices.
The only puzzle I didn't think was easy to understand with the context clues provided was the Symbol and the 'language' puzzle in chapter 4. Where you had to turn the dials to the correct facing.
I also found this game had a good level of difficulty. Usually when I play puzzle games, I've needed a hint or solution to a puzzle but I didn't need any hints for this game. In fact, I can't remember if there was any puzzles that I actually got stuck at (though I did pick up all of the puzzle notes before attempting each puzzle)
