We focus on the puzzles here. You'll also encounter monsters on your journey through the ruins - if you die, don't worry! The game does not require you to repeat enemy encounters. When you die, you progress a little further. Even if you die multiple times, you will always wake up in a new place. The game never requires you to save and reload. But it will affect the ending you get. Be warned!

How To Solve The Portal Room Puzzle | Solutions Guide
When you first arrive there is nothing you can do here in the main portal chamber. Press the button in the center of the chamber and the appliance will burn. Go and go up to the scaffolding - there is a hole in the wall. Take this path to a door and enter.
Through this door you will reach a new zone with three huge pillars. You can explore further or solve this puzzle now.
How to restore power to the portal:
Turn the middle crank and the right crank to rotate the giant pillars. Rotate them to match the shape in the screenshot below. The goal is to match the lines to form a complete shape.
When the correct symbols are facing you, use the controller to set the three symbols.
To complete this step, turn the rotary dial 180 degrees so that all the symbols are in the opposite order. You can now connect the three symbols and press the start button at the top.
Now the orb powers the main device. Return to the master bedroom.
How to open the portal:
Back in the master bedroom, turn the three large dials so that the focal resonator is in the center. A bright blue light goes off when all three are in the correct alignment.
Go and press the button in front of the portal to activate it.
It does not work! There is still one step left.
How to find replacement Leyden pots:
One of the Leyden pots feeding the device is broken. A panel will open to reveal them. Take the active Leyden Jar and head to the camp through the passage in front of the portal.
In the camp, enter the passage on the left and plug the Leyden Jar into the empty outlet to power the door. Enter the new area to continue the hunt.
How to extract more Vitea:
The forward chamber contains a Vitae Extraction Machine where you can collect new Leyden Jars.
Enter the dark passage until you reach a locked door. Go around to the right and throw stones at the wood, barring the door until it breaks.
Continue and escape the labyrinth creature. Navigate through the passages until you reach the Vitae Supply Chamber.
Keep on going. In the next room, you'll find a creature torturing one of the survivors.
How to save Richard:
Sneak up to the room where the creature is standing. Close the door and use the locking mechanism to trap it.
You can now turn the crank and free Richard. Some things will happen, but you will wake up to a full Leyden Jar.
How to complete the machine:
Take the Leyden Jar from the device. It is now glowing - turn the switch to open the door and return to the portal machine.
Enter the Bloody Threshing Room - flip the right switch, then push the left hanging cave into the left gears. Push when the gears momentarily stop.
When you return to the main area, grab the first Leyden jar that you used to open the door. Unfortunately, things don't quite work that way.
After a very long derailment you will return to the machine - enter the two Leyden jars and activate the machine.
More bad news - quickly turn all three cranks again, press the button and exit.
