THE WITNESS

I found my way to the treehouse area with the sunburst puzzles. After only two sequences, I got cocky and said to myself, "I got this!" and ran back to the village where there are a couple of doors with sunburst puzzles on them, all ready to break them wide open. Of course they involve deeper mechanics than I was aware of. Had to walk away deflated.

Also, I've been pushing hard on the +XX progress puzzles: [no specifics, just being safe in case you haven't discovered them yet]

And now whenever I see things outside in real life that line up in a vaguely meaningful way, I get excited for a brief second before realizing I've been playing the game too much.

There's a wooden gate, like the ones in the Japanese Tea Garden in the Town. I can see the pattern of broken wood slats behind it, and it seems like that puzzle is twinned to the wooden gate at the backdoor of the JTG--that one has no cues for solving, but it opens with the pattern from the wood slats from the one in Town. I was hoping it would open and indicate a twinned solution for the one in Town, but I don't see anything there. Any nudges on this one?

I'm not able to follow which panel you are talking about. This one?

Or this one (the gate was opened and took the pic from the back just in case)?

Edit: Okay, I think I might see what you are talking about. You're saying the broken slats behind the top picture is the solution for the JTG back gate? If so, it's a coincidence. Those two have nothing to do with each other. They both have solutions specific to their own areas.

The sound-based puzzles--I am at the one with the chirps + loon call that stereo around from ear to ear. I think I can't tell what's high and low on the loon call. I can hear some changes, but it doesn't register to me as lower one time versus another. I have tried waiting for the chirps in my left ear and the loon in my right and all that. I think I not getting something in a deep way.

I've read some stuff hinting that there is more after the seeing the credits the first time though (and continuing, not starting over?). Maybe I'll see if I can find some vague info.

I just finished these. I think I might see your hang up, want a nudge? Or maybe I'm not giving you enough credit and it's something else.

Edit - What a ridiculous looking post.
