Colourful Stars - The Witness (Episode 7)

[@SentinelProxima]

One advantage to an open-world puzzle game is having the ability to leave things you're stuck on and come back later, and for that reason, at the moment I won't give hints for the places where you got stuck -- I'm sure you can figure it out, but it's good to be able to take a break and make progress elsewhere.

[@goodjon6220]

I'm glad you came back, I hope the future puzzles are more to your liking.

[@MauveButterfly]

I hope so too. If it starts becoming an issue again I'll probably just ask for help rather than continue stumbling through things on my own. Hopefully that'll still sort of work for this series.

[@goodjon6220]

I don't think that the last criticism is fair. The rule you don't know was taught to you in that very same line and you successfully implemented it. I think you just forgot it.

[@MauveButterfly]

Which rule are you talking about? I'm not saying that you're wrong; I just don't know the context of what you're saying. If it's about this game being about guess-and-check for solutions, my view on that is that sometimes I don't know what actions I can be taking, and other times even when I do solve puzzles the reasoning behind my solution will be wrong, so even though I had a working solution I won't understand why the same techniques suddenly stop working elsewhere. If it's about something else, please let me know, because I'm probably wrong about a lot of things. For whatever reason this game just doesn't make much sense to me, despite me considering myself to be very good at puzzle games generally.

@@MauveButterfly the rule had to do with the orange squares. You had mentioned that it was interesting I think on the grid just before you got stuck. You haven't done the tutorial section for those yet so I was impressed you figured it out. You have been to that section but unfortunately you went by sea and the entrance to that section is by land. This game really does expect you to wander quite a bit.
