  • Braid Story Puzzle FAQ (SPOILERS!)

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Here it is. I'm finally finished. First FAQ I've written in about 5 years.

SPOILERS BEYOND BELIEF!

I plan on posting it on GameFAQs shortly. Read it if you've finished the game, and hopefully, it'll blow your mind.

Very interesting. I read through it and found things I didn't know before when we talked about it.

Amazing how deep the story goes in this game..how in the world could someone come up with this!?

She started asking questions about it, and eventually I told her it was too deep to explain in person. Besides, I didn't have all of the answers until I really dived into it. This was my way of trying to solve the puzzle.

So how did you research for this? Is it common to read other FAQs to finish your FAQ?

There weren't any FAQs for this. Some of it was ideas gathered from the Internet, and some of it was my own interpretations based on the pieces I knew. I did my own bit of research on certain phrases and items, too.

Sure, I used the star guide to get the stars, but it's hard enough to get there when you DO know how to do it.

Have you bought the game yet?

Well, I submitted my FAQ on Saturday night. They had about 112 or so FAQs in queue, and there wasn't any Plot Analysis FAQs or anything like that when I submitted it. There wasn't any when I checked this morning and it looks like they still had a big backlog.

So, I check this afternoon right after work. The queue was down to 7 and my FAQ got rejected because of "oversaturation", which means that there are multiple FAQs for the same subject. I check now, and there's somebody else's Plot Analysis FAQ on there. Fuck!

At guess at this point, I'll have to salvage what I've got and see what we can do to combine the FAQs.
