If you haven't already, check out my Taiji playlist to make sure you haven't missed a single episode! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qK6YhLer3N2Whok.html Below is a spoiler for the exact rule for the black/white block puzzles, as told directly to me by the developer of this game. Read with caution, it may surprise you: Take the majority of cells surrounding a cell and invert it. For example if you have 3 black surrounding a blank, then it’s white. Repeat until solved. It's an alright rule on its own, but weak given the context of players learning to look to the environment to solve these in the game's beginning. That could be remedied with an "unlearning" section, but the game doesn't give one and the puzzles provided don't succeed at teaching on their own. It definitely doesn't help that they're easy to beat by using some other incomplete rule anyway. I also don't know how you could tutorialize the idea of repeating until solved, it feels like such a stretch to figure out on your own. Any ideas?

Reminder: Tyler still hasn't solved the tall pillar puzzle in the first section he did.

i love how my perception of all the paintings instantly changed as soon as you noticed the diamonds on the snowman puzzle my lord, i didnt see any of the dots/flowers/etc. until then

I love how I understood everything from the character sheet inventory, just goes to show how much tyler cares about this, love the work tyler keep it up

10:14 this is my favorite realization on the series so far Myself was like "no way" then you walked and we see the flowers the dots and is like "holy shit"

Pretty sure every statue puzzle I solved was under a different mindset...

The Gallery is still my favorite. It’s like the Town from The Witness but then it also has its own theme, too.

“I guess the windows of the castle aren’t a puzzle” little did he know…

For the folded colors puzzles, I like to imagine it this way: separate it into columns, and then label them alternately (like OEOEOE, where O is odd and E is even). Then only focus on the O columns, and make the ones where the color is relatively lighter in its row correspond to a white square. Do the same for the E columns. It's pretty hard to explain it in text but you can sorta visualize it.

More of Tyler's new mindfuck puzzle game! Don't get me wrong, I love watching this, but DEAR CHRIST, I need Ibuprofen every time I see it.

I think I *just* figured out that puzzle type after staring at 19:30 for a while. Where ever there is a white square, if a white square where actually touching it, then it would be. So, next to every white square there needs to be a black square. And then vice versa. If there's a black square, then there needs to be a white square touching each side that isn't already black. Then it seems when there is a black and a white square that make a corner, one would imply a certain color below it, and one would suggest the other color in the same spot, so it can be either. As far as I can tell, this rule works on each of that puzzle type.

Artists: art is in the meaning of art is in the eye of the beholder Art puzzle: doubt

The silhouette of being inside someone's head at 19:37 was pretty cool indeed!

So funny that you got the linegraph one straight away, which I struggled with, and you struggled with the pictures, which I got straight away x) Definitely a perspective thing and not difficulty yeah, such a cool game :D

"some of these windows are pretty puzzle like too" "like this apple!"

Absolutely amazing inventory on the character screen

a taiji video, just what i needed after the absolute hell that is post-corepowering in core keeper

did tyler ever solve that red pillar puzzle from episode 1?

So, the blocks. I played this with my friend and we solved every puzzle in the game. I could not for the life of me figure out the rule. He did though. Rule below. Fill in whites, don't fill in blacks. For the empty spaces, count the number of adjacent blacks/whites. If there are more adjacent blacks than whites, fill in. If there are more adjacent whites than blacks, do not fill in. If the adjacent blacks and whites are the same count, you can fill it in or not fill it in, and both work.

I'm convinced that after you finish the game you'll be writhing on the floor and speaking in tongues.

10:26 OMG you're right and the dots on the snowman!

I love watching with this series! I love watching all of Tyler’s videos and I’m kind of surprised he doesn’t have 1 million subs honestly!

18:24 channeling your inner Professor Layton

I'm happy to say I figured out the black/white blocks...... right before the very last puzzle with them. I think a better way to teach it would've just been bigger puzzles? that way you can learn about how the latter steps of solving it are "independent" of the black and white blocks you use to start. But a bigger puzzle would probably just lead to boring checkerboard patterns, so overall not a super cool mechanic.

Your puzzle solving skills are so good that idk what your even doing

I loved playing through this part, every mechanic hits you like a train when you figure it out

Woo, time for the door next. Though after you finish everything beyond the door, there is yet more waiting for you.

Dang this game is sick, I'll buy it when I can just to support the dev, it show's how much love has been put into it

This was so insane, my mind has been blown.

20:51 BRO THE 3 ON THE LEFT IS UNSATISFIED

Two best parts are waiting forward!

Can't wait to see where this goes.

18:52 WOOOW that was a hard to see one.

19:03 FLAME IS LIT

I love the way in the basement you notice the window with white and black squares and then proceed to enter the black parts of the window as white and the white parts as black and then get surprised when it turns out its the other way around. :)

I am impressed how many shadow puzzles you mastered without realizing the shadow

Man, when doing the gallery print screen+msPaint were my most powerful tools

Very cool game, glad I finished it before watching this series

23:30 Holdup, is he standing in a head?

11:07 "I can't believe you've done this" - Some guy in a British accent not in 2022

Tyler is going crazy now, he is seeing puzzles everywhere

Watching Tyler playing games like this clarifies for me how dumb I really am

Welp... time for more Taiji ass pain! (I'm gonna edit this after viewing the video)

I was walking back to my pc at around 24:10 after getting a glass of water, when I noticed the environment is two heads, nice

I extremely enjoyed the gallery on my playthrough.

I Love This

Imma need to see some evidence for that 99+%. Also, in the begining part you can also solve the puzzles without looking at the environment, actual statues are there. I did it the first time around not even noticing the environment relationship.

The thumbnail looks like a program written in the Piet esoteric programming language

So your first video made me get the game but besides a few so far I haven’t been able to get anything in this area, let’s see if you can help me work through them😊

22:30 realized the stone behind is a human head.

Good video

finally!! :D

Yay another ti g vid👍

10:30 happiness is a simple thing, isn't?

18:27 Hm, yes this almost reminds of a certain professor...

Tyler out here seeing White ending puzzles and missing the picture on the floor

I thought in the owl puzzle the flowers had a dark or light centre, and considering it actually works for the final solution, I figured that was the pattern not the binary whether that wwas intentional or not

@aliensrock For the owl puzzle at 12 minutes in the video, the eyes of the owl are supposed to represent the graveyard at the top of the map, what would a double 00 tile be? It was supposed to be the clue that gave you the first tile of the puzzle so that you could color it properly without having to depend on guesswork to start it out, but was a rather bad clue IMO, and probably should have been clearer by being something like a gravestone or something to better clue the person in.

There's a secret section near the beginning of the game, but you must pay attention to the environment of the entire game to completely solve that section.

I think this is the part where the game really messes with you, not just in it's puzzles but pattern seeking in the real world too! But yeah, I totally agree that the intentional rule for the Contrast Puzzles felt a little obscure (it kind of reminded me of "cellular automata" to be honest). But that's my only qualm so far with this game, The Gallery on the other hand was pretty cool, though. I liked the pattern seeking aspect of it. From comparing squares in Piet Mondrian's iconic artworks, to simply analysing frequency polygons, there certainly is a part of the game that will stick with you when you go for a stroll in the park, the city, or the lush greenery of the forest. Well, probably not as much as what The Witness pulled off, but there's still that! tl:dr Gallery great, but Cellular Automaton Puzzles bad, but let's see what final secrets this strange world has to offer! (By the way Tyler, since I can't play the game for myself anyways, I took a peek at the ending for the game in a walkthrough, and it will have a surprising twist which I'm pretty sure you'll never see coming, because I certainly didn't.)

That split up-down puzzle was a nightmare for me. Saved it for last, and ended up brute-forcing it to see if I could understand the rule after the fact. Still couldn't.

*_WITNESS INSTINCT KICKING IN!_*

NO I WANNA SEE MORE CARD SHARK

Pain.

The moment Tyler started going into lights and rights my brain just completely shut down. There’s not enough brain power to handle this game. Although it’s a joy to watch.

18:23 the carpets make a red and white alternation. buuuut.

I wonder when he'll figure out the rule for the white and black tiles, I'm pretty sure I've figured it out

4:00 that "painting" is actually a program written in the programming language called piet :)

Tyler is smart

what IS the rule for the black and white tiles? I got 100% in the game and I never figured out the real rule

10:36 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He still hasn't remembered negative space

20:40 its another head

Well let's try go to the start and find something interesting there 🙃

Does someone want to explain the block puzzles? At the very begining? I dont understand the rules...

Isn’t there another floor in the mansion on top? I thought I saw a staircase going up from the top floor he solved. Maybe I’m crazy

I'm pretty sure the owls eyes were the "anti dot" (like on the second big head puzzle)

1:34 wth I did not see anything is it me? or is it aliensrock video?

It is a good day untill you think you solved a puzzle before him and he solves it right

12:00 are they not the Zeros?

lol at least you're aware of your own character stats.

The beginning reminds me of some odd history.. i dont really know why..

I 100%'d the game and still have no clue what the black and white block puzzle rule is

i think maybe you should pay attention to those windows

the painting of the owl was just the flower puzzle, either im missing the joke or you got stupidly lucky with the binary sutff lol

The second to last puzzle you were inside of a head inside of a sideways head

22:07 Is that a head?

😀👍

23:52 It was at this point I noticed that I see 1 and a half faces and 2 heads

More Card Shark soon?

0:31 from last time i sow it i tought the one that shude be fillds is the with block and the empty spaces adjesent to the black, btw blind coment

The thumbnail looked like minesweeper My eyes are liars!

Do the black and white cube puzzles have to do with mirroring (or flipping) around the middle?

Can you do “please touch the art”

Tyler what the fuck man, logic is hard it's 12am

The place where he does the last puzzle is a Head

THIS is what I wanted this game to be, relying on the environment rather than figuring out a mechanic then solving puzzles that have no real connection to the outside world like the diamonds and lines

1:10 Wait, what? That's different than how Samet solved it! TF is the rule?!?

Nova drift has a new update Can you play it?

He says his Strength is higher than his Logic. And that his logic is lower than his intelligence.
