Got an ending, couple quick questions (spoilers, obviously)

Finished this up tonight, pretty solid experience but there were a couple of late game bits I am unsure I handled correctly?

First was the high-tech "create the right symbol" puzzle. I tried to solve it for a long time via figuring out how the various colored rugs matched up with said orbs but could never figure it out. I walked away, looked at the "read me" tumblr thing and finally figured out what it was actually saying and saw three symbols on a book page that ended up being the correct ones. 

Second was the end game "write his name" bit, I screenshotted all sorts of names I came across in the game and tried all the ones that were six letters or less, none worked. Went back to the tumblr and on the screenshot next to the one with the symbols I saw a name that fit, typed it in and it worked.

I am curious if these were the intended way to solve these puzzles or if they were put there as basically a "if you get stuck look here" alternate way to get the answers? There were a couple things I never sorted out, mainly the four metal things to place on the pillar in that shed, the other two warp pads by my jail cell, also that key or whatnot north of the shed in the woods across the gap, so it is very possible I accidentally backdoored the whole thing.

Hi jdelible!

First off, thanks for playing, and congrats on achieving one of the game's endings! 

Secondly, yes, the tumblr is a large source of hints. Some of the puzzles can be completed with knowledge of Lovecraftian lore alone, but that site exists for those without that knowledge. 

If you would like some hints for achieving the other ending, let me know! Thanks again for playing!
