Stuck permanently?

[SpicyCrab]

I have heard its possible to get permantly stuck in this game. Spoiling as little as possible, can anyone tell me how to ensure that doesn't happen on my current play through?

Really? How? Solving the puzzles is key in this game.You can always use youtube and walkthroughs.

Right I don't want to use any spoilers or puzzle aids, I just want to avoid any kind of 'failure state' in the game, which I have heard is possible if you complete the puzzles in an incorrect order. Can anyone confirm? Just a rumor?

I am not aware of any sequence breaking bugs of the type you describe that would cause you to get stuck permanently.

Thansk, guess it's just a rumor.

@SpicyCrab no it's not just a rumor. I have such a bug right now. Trying not to spoil too much in Chapter 3 there is a projector-puzzle. DONT DO THAT UNTIL YOU HAVE A SECOND WAY TO GET THERE. If you do it too early it will not count the puzzle as solved but it won't let you solve it again, thus getting you stuck forever.

Edit: This happened to me on android. I don't know about the versions on other platforms.

Wow this is a top sticky! I'm sure the devs will fix as soon as they see this.

Haringat, are you able to describe in more detail the steps required to get stuck at that location? That particular puzzle has caused people confusion in the past (due to some bad design on my part) but not in a way that actually caused anyone to get perminatly stuck.

I am currently stuck in the dining room with 3 discs moved remotely (on the wall, on the pillar and in a drawer) and one larger disc in a recess in the dining table, My problem is that the drawer in the table won't open for me! so I am unable to access the round movable plate inside the drawer and I have to rotate that disc to solve the puzzle. :(

I had a similar error in that same room but I was able to fix it just by restarting the game.

To all players: SPOILER AHEAD! You have been warned!

If you solve the projector riddle the first time you get access to the projector by just turning on the projector and moving the tiles accordingly, you get the line to glow green (signaling that the riddle has been solved). However, if go downstairs and follow the line a few screens (sadly I don't remember where exactly) it will stop being green (and if you go back to the projector the line will also not be green anymore). From now on you're screwed. The projector puzzle won't do anything anymore. You can, however, proceed and find the second entrance to the tower via the cellar (I suspect that is when you are actually meant to solve the projector puzzle). If you now try to solve the riddle You can move the tiles and solve it again, but the line doesn't go green anymore and the puzzle becomes a permanent blocker.

Thanks for the warning! I can imagine why the devs didn't find that one lol.

I solved the projector puzzle in the tower and I thought I was stuck with the oscilloscope puzzle in the room with the two whiteboards because the blinking lights in the line from the projector puzzle in the tower stopped blinking, I thought when the blinking stops the oscilloscope doesn't work anymore but it still works and I solved the oscilloscope puzzle and the gate to the planetorium just opened. Solved!
