Working With My Future Self to Prevent a TIME PARADOX! - Induction

I like this game quite a lot. Should be a short but mind-bending series.

[@cjvalmonte1492]

This isn't Understand, this is Induction

@@cjvalmonte1492 tbh I understood Understand more than this 😅

[@TinyかわいいGamer]

You are basically me

[@mae6797]

Now that I see it,with the melting ability, even through we can see the origin, you now create a bootstrap paradox, where your pastself beat the level because his future self helped him and then he becomes the future self to do the same

[@aleksandersabak]

That's induction for you: it works as long as it can depend on another version of itself.

[@butter_0021]

Yes

[@Vid118]

I understood mabye 2 words in that sentence.

[@bruhmodeactive3211]

I understood everything except bootstrap paradox

[@aleksandersabak]

@@bruhmodeactive3211 The induction works only because it is helped by an earlier bersion lf itself, both in math and in the game. It is like pulling yourself by your own bootstraps and actually liffing yourself.

[@lamergamer8211]

What I like about this time travel is that it’s just convoluted enough to be interesting but not so overly convoluted that it’s stupid.

[@blizzard8958]

Every once in awhile on this channel there is a game like this where I have no idea what is happening or how anything works yet for some reason I am so excited to watch and I love it so much

Dude, I live in aus I’m watching this upside down don’t act like you have a hard time

[@sm1le0hd]

Just wanted to say that I rly appreciate your effort to make walkthroughs as enjoyable as they can be for the viewer. Reminding how game works, cutting out boring stuff and explaining & commenting your thoughts rly does make a difference, thanks

[@invertedmind8937]

this game just got way cooler than i was expecting

[@adm6225]

This absolutely fucks with my brain... I love it.

[@schandler7536]

If anybody reads this let me try to explain The puzzle where he moved off and back onto the cylinder: He had to move right to prevent a paradox but he couldn't without getting off the cylinder, so he moved right twice, off then onto then the cylinder, moved twice, off then onto the cylinder, moving 4 times preventing a paradox and staying on the cylinder. The puzzle with the becoming past self: The way I see it is moving from point A to point B, going into the past, past moves but not the full path, so it would create a paradox, but he becomes his past self to where he doesn't have to move to point B, then he moves from where he became his past self (point C) to point D, goes into past, and past moves to point D not creating a paradox, so by becoming past self, you are you and don't have a predetermined path and can do whatever you want. I hope this helps anyone who reads it.

[@skyc354]

i am now more confused

[@badrunna-im]

Past self uses full steps to return to origin, but can't take steps on the cylinder (as it waits to be pushed). Being pushed back allows it to take steps that get "wasted" on the upper level and stay on the cylinder.

[@yaoitiddieexpert1486]

he created a treadmill lol. He had to move X steps and created a treadmill to allow him to take those steps without actually moving anywhere.

[@the_dark_jumper2211]

After the first mechanic felt extremely intuitive, I didn't expect that the second mechanic would completely break me... My current running theory is that taking the pill creates a time split, allowing your past self to take a different action. So for every time you take the pill, you create a timeline where you didn't finish the level.

[@mathematicalmachinery7934]

I think this is the most helpful explanation of the pill I have seen so far

[@hantuchblau]

Effectively it lets you alter the puzzle layout by adding a secret prequel. Imagine you are locked in a prison but freed by your future self. Then you travel back in time to free yourself. But how did you get out originally, how did the loop get started?! You can escape the prison some other way, using up resources and breaking the puzzle. Then you travel in time, and alter the puzzle with your prequel-changes. Then you use the power up. Now you are in the first loop again, and you aren't stuck with your destructive first approach. But your prequel alterations also remain (until you loop), so you can bootstrap the real solution.

[@jucom756]

On the main menu you can see the temporal loop of a level in action, which makes understanding why something isn't a paradox easier, but tyler always skips those so i'm gonna have to get the game myself

[@g.gidluck6470]

Man this game must be hard to commentate. Takes me a while to figure out what is going on but I get enough joy just seeing you go through your range of emotions as I stand back clueless.

[@aidenaune7008]

what is going on with the weird line goal thing is that he is bringing the world's state back in time, it is essentially a restart but the world stays the same. to end the level his future self must set up the world in that same way, preventing a timeline paradox.

[@Jack_Wolfe]

I wish there were more shows/movies with as complex of time jumping in them. Paradox spliting is so much fun to see happening.

[@RageXBlade]

Stein's;Gate series is what you're looking for, my friend.

[@buttonasas]

The fact that Tyler tries to explsin the failures helps watching A LOT.

[@john_hatten2862]

Now I want to see an actual colab between Tyler and his past self, both doing commentary and interacting while solving a level

These videos are super amazing to see. I appreciate you showing this game and playing it for us. Thank you for your... time.

[@BlueberryCats_]

The level design itself is like monument valley, i have no idea what’s actually above what

[@frimi8593]

Hopefully this shift function will allow for some of that titular induction to actually start happening. This all just feels like buildup to some infinite series where every iteration past a certain point travels back to help a future self win then win with the help of its past self

[@wizird8454]

Very cool game idea

[@frayomer]

first puzzle got me blown so hard i cant watch the rest of the video without thinking our place in the universe

[@anonymoususer188]

Well, I was understanding what was going on. Right up until the shift key was added. All I can say after that is that I like your funny words magic man. Still enjoy watching.

[@philipsheehan3754]

I like your funny words magic man.

[@turtleshelley7577]

love the little edit at the beginning

[@electra_]

the new mecahnic was confusing at first, but here's how i'm thinking about it: the thing you collect is sort of a "reaction" to use in a parallel timeline. normally, the game only lets you have one timeline, and obv you need to end on one timeline so that it can bootstrap itself. but to create that timeline, your past self will do the exact same actions. now, your past self can "react" to your future self, and do something different. It's like, you're going about your day and suddenly your bridge dissapears and your future self tells you "hey, take this time machine and go press that button!" you wouldn't have done that otherwise but you will now.

[@teenieweenie8773]

omg the thumbnail made me remember about a similar game on google where you press 'im feeling lucky' and then there was a interactive game like this

[@darksentinel082]

This game could really do with some vertical indicators. Even decorative pillars would do wonders for telling you where things are located in terms of each other.

[@saratan.]

Love this game! Keep the Amzing vids up man

[@flamesdiamond]

Should make a part 3! Since there is a new mechanic that literally comes after the last level you played in this video

[@n4tri]

I only learn by doing (haptic learning), I can't really learn anything otherwise. So I can watch your videos and i won't remember anything for my own playthrough. :D

[@RJiiFin]

Dude, such a missed opportunity @0:22 when you didn't "hand" your past self a glass of water or something.

[@Sauspreme]

Dude this reminds me A LOT of "Edge" a 3DS shovelware game I bought on the 3DS store years ago and still play today. But much more "execution" or speedrun, and muuuuch less puzzle. Different developer, but still gotta love these isometric cube rolling games

[@You-fools]

Edge had the "grind" points where you would get bonuses for lingering while diagonal. That was so much fun.

[@osbob1983]

Also came out on the WiiU, which is where I found it. Amazing soundtrack, still listen to Kakkoi every so often just for the nostalgia

[@rogeriomendesdosramos1949]

Hey Tyler, if you like this game I'm sure you will love a game called Transpose. It's a VR game and I know you are having issues with those, but simply due to the nature of the game I don't think the shaking is going to be a issue. The game is basically a 3D version of this game, but with multiple timelines and I'd love to see you solve the more tricky puzzles I couldn't figure out myself. Check it out! Much love

[@thegoosling8947]

Ayy part two

[@Dethrox]

if you like Time Puzzles and know Portal series there is pretty new ''mode'' that contain time travel its pretty fun ^^

[@Eddoou]

This game is crazy

[@EvanG529]

You should edit in your webcam from the original footage when you go back in time so we can see both of you moving and interacting

[@AexisRai]

All you really need to understand this game is that every time you time travel you are entering a *new* timeline. I will explain. Try imagining in real life: In universe U1, at t=0 min you begin the experiment, holding a time battery. You wait 2 minutes. Nothing happens. At t=2 you enter the time machine and insert the battery to travel back to t=1. In U1, you simply disappear from the timeline. The machine depletes the battery. In U2, at t=0 you begin the experiment, holding a time battery. You intend to wait 2 minutes. At t=1 the version of you from U1 appears inside the time machine and steps out, without a battery. At t=2 you enter the time machine and insert the battery to travel back to t=1. You disappear and the machine depletes the battery. The version of you from U1 is left in your place, but without a time battery. You can keep iterating on this analogy to get closer with each mechanic, but the game is fundamentally really simple and doesn't need words.

[@royaloreo1275]

I think if this game rather than literally record what you did, it should let you control steps of your "past" self. As in, a button to have the past run along its course. It would take away challenge of timing things, but delete the tedium of waiting to make sure everything syncs up.

[@butter_0021]

This game hurts my brain. I don’t know how you can just see the solution.

[@zenexx5381]

you should play a game called 12 minutes which is a groundhogs day plus mystery game and I think you would have a lot of fun playing it

[@cosmicdaylight8754]

I forgot what I was watching. I was so confused that I didn’t know what timeline went where and what made a paradox and what didn’t and what is time and why is that the solution?? Good game 10/10 👍🏻

Please let the level select's puzzle replay run before moving onto the next puzzle. I have no idea what is going on in the puzzles and maybe that would help slightly (but probably not).
