Introduction
First of all this guide is NOT a walkthrough. It's meant to be like a nudge in the side to help you without spoiling the game or any of its puzzles. You can read this guide during or before gameplay. It can be a companion or just some advice it's up to you how you want to use this guide.
Hints And Tips
First Of All As the game progresses the puzzles become harder. During gameplay no matter how hard the puzzles are, the answers are:
  • Always Accessible In one way or another
  • Do not always come in the order you would expect
  • Are Consistent From Chapter to Chapter
  • Are presented in the same forms from chapter to chapter
  • Can be subtle while other related answers could be bright and in your face

That Said, as you progress and unlock different parts of the game you should:
  • Look Over The Puzzle In its entirety when you are first presented it
  • Take your time when looking over it
  • Remember That what you learn in previous sections can be applied into the future parts
  • Make Sure you examine each and every item you get more than once because you never know when the answer might come to you
  • Be aware that when unlocking parts that sometimes more than one thing is unlocked but the game will focus you on the major part.
  • When that happens it is advisable to once again take an overview look of the puzzle to see what has changed
  • You Should Regularly Reapply your checking techniques as some elements may not show up initially until something has been triggered
  • Don't be afraid to use the in-game hints as they while a little more specific are very helpful if you truly are completely stuck
  • Sometimes walking away and letting a puzzle sit in your mind can reveal the answer when you later sit down and try it again.
  • Try to think a little bit out of the ordinary but not completely abstract.
  • Remember the eyepiece Can show you more than the naked eye can see

something to add: looking through the lens is a clue in and of itself. for instance, in part 3 when you have to look at the photograph in the magnifier, the lens is needed to see the word to dial in to progress, just like in part 2 when you use the lens to see the hidden message in the short film . it reveals more than you think.
