Stuck? Puzzle Support. Warning: SPOILERS

[Fellow Traveller]

We hope you’re enjoying Genesis Noir! The puzzles in Genesis Noir are about experimentation, rather than logic, which means that some of them can be a little tricky to work out!

If you get stuck anywhere in the game, this is the best place to post about it. We’ll be tracking this thread to provide answers as quickly as we can and so you may also find your question has already been answered.

Feel free to provide answers to your fellow players if you know them but please use the spoiler text option to try to minimise spoilers for others as much as possible.

To start with, below are some hints for some of the trickier puzzles...

General puzzle tips:

• In some of the puzzles, when you’re getting close to the answer, the screen will slightly zoom out to let you know you’re getting close
  
• Don’t let go of the mouse until you’ve had a success animation or cut scene, otherwise you’ll have to do it again
  
• Click and drag ;)
  
• Watch the yellow interactables
  
• Sometimes thing take a few clicks / interactions to response
  
• If you can’t find the cursor, you’re in a cut scene

And here are some hints to help with specific levels...

Seeding:

• Every time you open your hand to plant a seed, there will be different seeds in your hand. If none of the correct colours show up, close and reopen your hand.

Hunt:

• Look for a cave

Reflection:

• To solve each puzzle in the underwater section, you need to make sure all the circles are connected.
  
• You can connect the black circles, too.

Thaw:

• Look for the frozen stream
  
• Be patient

Gather:

• If you’re waiting for something to happen, click and drag

Collision:

• Follow the instructions on the blackboard, to try and make the shape on the board. If there are question marks, experiment till you get there.

Singularity:

• Look for Earth.

not even a start time here in the UK was hoping it would be out when I got up

[henosp]

Honestly stuck on Improvizations. They've been spinning in a circle for a while and I dont know what I'm meant to do lol, I'm getting dizzy

[Fellow Traveller]

Hi null value, sorry that you're stuck, I'd suggest clearing your connections and then starting again :) Then a hint is to start with the yellow circles and try some connections to see what gives light. Look for the lighter circles and see if you can connect them to the dark circles. Don't forget you can rotate to get a better angle.

Hi unchary, are you able to see the train? Try clicking on it and grab Let me know if you need more hints

I'm stuck with the reflection. I really don't see what I'm supposed to do here: https://i.postimg.cc/65Hdwqs2/2021-03-27-1.png
I've tried connecting everything and nothing works, especially the balls surrounding the yellow light cannot connect no matter what... More specifically the white ball on the top right cannot connect with anything.

when you connect a white circle to a yellow circle it should send out a pulse, creating some black circles. you should then be able to connect the white circles to the black circles.

sometimes you will need to break an existing link in order to then make different connections. to do that just point at the line and you should see an "x" symbol.

last suggestion - you probably already tried this but sometimes you need to rotate the view angle to enable a connection

if you're still having trouble, start with the bottom spheres and connect them upwards then connect the next pair to the yellow circles. connect what other white pairs you can before connecting anything to the black spheres. if you still have any black spheres unconnected, you should be able to break some of those early connections to make new ones

[Saucy Wiggles]

You can connect the black circles, too.

Yeah this reflection puzzle is terrible. I'm pretty confident it's bugged/broken given connecting spheres to black clusters doesn't yield the sum of the parts. Connecting/reconnecting can even yield random values. This is all compounded by the fact that you cannot rotate up/down and you can't zoom either.

[Saucy Wiggles]

81 minutes played, I think over half of that is now on this one puzzle.

[Saucy Wiggles]

Update: yeah it's bugged. Fatal error CTD while connecting spheres lol.

The developers have released a patch that makes this puzzle easier and fixes the crash issue some players were having.

[Saucy Wiggles]

It was bugged, not too hard. I had to restart the chapter twice and then it completed almost instantly like it was supposed to.

The issue, while I didn't record it, was that the "clusters" of spheres would remain partially blacked out. Disconnecting/reconnecting them yielded less white spheres than the sum of the parts, like it appears it is supposed to do. Disconnecting and reconnecting the same sphere over and over can have multiple results.

After a couple of restarts I connected one sphere to the large cluster and it automatically filled out and completed itself.
