There are numerous environmental puzzles throughout the game, and each area has an obelisk that indicates how many environmental puzzles there are in that area. The obelisk turns white once you solve them all, although it does not appear that there is any additional change/reward for turning every obelisk white.

There are 49 audio logs in the game, all of which contribute to the game’s atmosphere, lore, etc. They are very small, which makes them difficult to notice, and sometimes they are in areas you can’t reach. Once you find one, however, you’ll be able to interact with it from a distance even if you can’t reach it.

If you’re having trouble finding all of the audio logs, use the video guide below to find them (not including the audio logs in the secret developer room ending).

Six videos can be played in the Theater, but to get the codes for the terminal, you need to find the hidden briefcases. You’ll need to solve puzzles to reach the briefcases, after which you can open them to find hexagonal codes for the theater. Each code, when entered at the theater terminal, will unlock one of the videos. The videos themselves are quite lengthy and come from various sources.

The Discarded Panels (aka the orange triangle puzzles) serve a couple of purposes, although they don’t specifically do anything. First, they are meant to be tutorials. They teach you how to solve the triangle puzzles so you can unlock the final challenge area. (Note: solving these puzzles is not necessary. They are just simpler puzzles meant to teach you how.) Second, they can be considered a collectible, and since they themselves are puzzles, you’ll want to find them if you want to solve every puzzle in the game.

If you’re having trouble finding or solving them, use the video guide below for help.
