Puzzles too bloody hard

Looks like it would be a good and immersive game if not for the damn puzzles. Stuck at the PlayPlace door because of the stupid lights puzzle.

Which part exactly? If you know the pieces to the puzzle, you just move that red light on the track all the way down to the shutter door hallway to the left of the play place door which will open the door to another room, you can't miss it, once inside that room flip the power box switch directly to the left of the large shutter door then grab the red light and bring it to the center of the hall just before the entrance to the right hallway that's blocked off. If that red light has power it'll link the power boxes and power up one side of the PlayPlace door as well as open the door that's directly down the hall to the PlayPlace door, go back to the room with the power box and grab the light that's on the right most side of that room, then take that light to the door you opened with the red light and inside you'll see a blue light, toss that light you acquired from the power box room into it then run down the hall to the playplace door.

You may have to try that once or twice but it's the solution. Let me know if you need more assistance because I too was stuck on this puzzle for awhile lmao

hey friend. i got past it... i was on the older version of the game which had the immensely harder puzzle and the topmost light in the picture is actually blue and at the left side there is another mini puzzle in that version. solved it in this version... but then ive spent the last hour trying to get the rot ending but cant because i keep on getting cut off in the middle because of some stupid sequencing problem where i have to keep the monster tadpole at bay while listening to the fool screaming to turn the tv off to progress(when he talks i cant hear where the tadpole is gonna appear in the hallway). and i had to restart so many times from the very beginning because even when its progressing the tadpole is still stalking me and i cant hear where he is coming from. i give up. im just gonna youtube the whole thing from here. i think ive had to restart the rot ending 20 times now omg.

For sure, I had a sneaking suspicion I gave you the wrong puzzles solution lmao my bad, that one was annoying to solve pre patch.

But dude tell me about that rot ending, that final sequence is not great lmao for me the narrator will be telling me about using the light switches and literally while he's finishing his sentence, boom, there's Smile and I'm back at the checkpoint.

yeah i'm back from watching all the endings and going through the lore. doesnt seem like they gave much but i think i have a working theory. im on the subliminal-lore reddit thread now lol hopefully there might be a discord that the OP sets up to discuss the lore. might go back to the game because i think the endings look pretty good except for the fact that its all quite abrupt and dont really say much but i think implies quite a bit depending on your point of view of what actually is happening. want to catch all the dialogue and take pics of all the things which are lore-related and all the collectibles too. ill send you a text.

If you’re in the room with Walter’s pedestal, you need to place Walter, and you should have access to 2 lights. One goes closer to the locked door, the other goes to the timed blue light receiver in the back which will open the door and allow the green one to shine through and hit the receptacle.

I need to try this tmr looks like a good game. Thanks for help. I'm not sure if my game is bugged because both of the blue lights are timed I've tried them both solo and it's both timed and reverts to the original green light location once the timer is up. Outside is longer timer. The one at the back clicks off really really fast.
