This achievement is glitched for me. I think maybe it is because I was switching between cloud and local versions of the game. I beat the whole game and didn’t get this achievement, even on a replay from my dorm.

Some of this game's puzzles have moon-logic, but make sense in hindsight.
But the very last one with all the boxes...? I have no idea what happened. The clues are "look at the shape of the boxes" or something, which doesn't help me at all.
