Dr. Buttass posted:So what's the nature of the code behind the writing? My half-assed baby math puts us at just shy of a direct replacement cipher (6 sides x 4 orientations = 24 letters). Will that be something you actually need to do to solve any puzzles? Last time I played this game I was...I'm gonna say halfway through it and if there was any decoding to do it sure as hell wasn't clicking for me. OP isn't doing the puzzles yet but you've got everything you need to work it out as of last video.

Stelas posted:I think I've managed to identify most of the puzzle components so far, with a couple of omissions: I'm pretty sure I've got the number system worked out but I don't really have any way to check my work, and I've definitely got the letter system, but I'm not sure how you're supposed to work that part out 'properly' yet. I went back to the intro and brute-forced my way through cracking the code rather than refer to any specific clue. I ended up working out the alphabet by frequency analysis because the actual in-game clue went right over my head on the first pass, so you're not the only one!

Valgaav posted:The nega-cubes or anti-cubes or whatever they were, the blue ones that took up half the hexahedron, sort of looked like something it was trying to hide. Nobody was supposed to know the nega-cubes existed, but it isn't whole without them, and trying to make it exist with just the cubes we collected didn't work. Whatever the Hexahedron is, it clearly has unfathomable power, and being near just a fragmented version of it can warp and change you. I took that sequence as an epiphany moment for Gomez. Obviously something went wrong with the cube, but as his hat comes off, he's able to perceive finer and finer levels of detail within himself until he figures out how his universe works and how he might be able to fix the problem.

Stelas posted:I'm gonna go for the low-hanging fruit now, and come back for some others once I've gone back through the videos. Yeah, that's how I did it. And then also kicked myself when I eventually found the room with the clues for that. Substitution cyphers are so common in games that you can get by in the vast majority of games that try to include code.

Yeah, I've also finished the game, including the 'bullshit' category where I just gave up and was like, whatever, looking up a faq. So I'm waiting for the puzzles to actually come up in vids before talking in any more than totally vague terms.

Deathwind posted:As I don't own a QR capable device, I really hoping those QR codes wouldn't be needed for puzzles. Are any of the other puzzles unsolvable without outside information? The QR code is a shortcut. There's another way to get the same reward, and fortunately more in line with the rest of the puzzles.
