This puzzle mainly requires observation.

The basics:
There are 12 lenses. Each column of 6 lenses contains a single theme. Each row of 2 lenses shows a “similar object”.

There are 2 possibilities to solve this:
1- use your notes about the Command Room, where you could find “sculptures”
or
2- proceed with logic with the column on the right first.

In details:

Solution1:
Rebuild the sculpture “Anterrans plan for the Monolith” found in the Control Room (where you can’t go anymore if you have the Cube), in the column on the left.
Find the correspondance in the column on the right. The first raw is given already: the black box corresponds to the monolith. You should be able to find the other raws.

Solution2:
Focus on the column on the right. It contains “photos” of different places. The first photo is given (the monolith). Then just place the other ones in order from top to bottom, on the idea that it always needs to be a largest place than before. So you should guess that the last line is the space.
Then find the corresponding object on the left: each of the real places are represented by a geometric shape. You have to find which one.

I will give the full solution later if you need.

Hello alana33. It is traditional in many AGCPs here, when they near their end, for a bot to come by. Something of a good luck.

Now this made me chuckle…..

@wilco
for which lock particularly?
In a global way it is true that I prefer to avoid random guessing, so I let the player see if he found the good solution or not, by checking himself the result of his actions.

The relationship between the rows tells the meaning of the anterran sculpture in the command room.

I think that it was a mistake from me to prevent access to this room, to check the sculptures. If I had to change ONE thing in the game design, it would be this.
On the other hand, I thought that most people would have taken notes on these strange sculptures at that point of the game.

Anyway, in the command room you have 2 sculptures:

- The first one is a representation of the solar system by the real mathematician Kepler (you can easily find on the net the Kepler Platonic Solids sculpture). It was supposed to represent our planets with geometric shapes, according to some god plans, or something like that (I don’t remember exactly).

- The second sculpture doesn’t exist in reality and was created for the game: it represents (in the same way) the anterran plans for the monolith. So it’s like the Kepler sculpture. Instead of having the sun in the center of the sculpture, we have a representation of the monolith.

Each geometric shape of the Anterran sculpture represents a real part of the world. The half-sphere under the monolith represents the monolith room. The box of glass around them is the central room. These shapes are all in a metal box that should represent the Ark spaceship, which one is inside a last box of glass that represents the universe. If I didn’t make mistakes.

Well it’s more or less the last true puzzle of the game so I didn’t want it to be that easy, it had to rely on your observations during the whole game.

I finished the game. I really enjoyed it despite some REALLY tough puzzles.

I also have finished the game, it echo this statement - fun game but quite difficult.
