Know how I said that the puzzles in Fez aren't as mind bending as Braid's? Well...... Fucking hell, you have to be a goddamn genius to figure this shit out. It turns out that there are four different types of puzzles in the game. Puzzles based on perspective (these are the obvious ones. You just flip perspectives to figure them out), puzzles based on Tetris symbols (second easiest as there is an easy to understand key that tells you what movements correspond to which Tetris block), puzzles based on numbers, and puzzles based on the alphabet.

The final two make me want to die inside. The reason being is that you have to decode the number and alphabet system based on wall drawings left around the world. And no, the drawings do not say things like A = funny looking square, or anything like that. The best lead I have on decoding the language is trying to figure out what one of the phrases is saying Wheel of Fortune style by hoping that the content of the sentence involves a picture that is nearby it. I really haven't made any headway with the alphabet so far, to be honest, but I have figured out a good deal of the numerical system.

Goddamnit, it's hard.
