What to study

Stars are the pairing rule: each star must end up grouped with a star of the same color, and the path is the divider that does the sorting. The orange cabinet, the forest setting and the dappled light make the point that these panels are furniture of the island, not overlays, the game never lifts you out of the world to show you a puzzle screen. Frame at about 0:21 in the Release Date Trailer (Steam).
