[Marcus Butthurticus]

How the hell to calculate where to put the specimen in the Biolab? It made zero sense to me.

[Quincy Quinn]

@ffiinnss I had trouble with that too... it's the tall-ish white thing. Despite it seeming you can't do anything with it, try clicking around the tiniest individual buttons and it will adjust the time after speaking with the robot.

[Pride]

What small glass case in the corner ???

[Bahadir]

Dude, you didn't explain how to solve the puzzles itself.... For example the Flower Puzzle in the Healing room and the weird small machine on the table in the Transporter room.
