Light and Shadow - The Witness (Episode 5)

Nice going on the shadow mazes area! Really powered through that. There were a couple aspects of that that tripped me up, so it's gratifying to see you not get stuck on them like I did. I do find the way this game plays with figure-and-ground, signal-and-noise, fascinating.

The black substance in the castle isn't ink, its a reference to the legend that medieval castles used boiling pitch as a defensive weapon by pouring it down on the heads of invaders. I'm not sure how historically accurate that is though

Certain puzzles can be hard for lets players based on their settings

You do not quite know the rule for black and white yet. If you keep looking around the environment there are large amount of hidden images that can only be viewed from certain angles, kind of like a neat little art surprise.

The black and white rule is simple and you were supposed to understand it in the beginning of the game. Now you are going to be stuck every time you have to deal with it, so I think you should watch the solution because it shouldn't be so frustrating for you. Anyway I like to watch your videos at lunch and I hope you will enjoy the rest of the game, which is more straight forward in terms of "knowing what the pieces do" :)

Let him figure out the black-and-white on his own terms. It's enough that he's already acknowledged on-camera that he doesn't fully understand it yet, and it's more interesting if he figures it out on his own using his own methods.
