I still dont get the fricking candles
If my times are 6:00 8:35 and 2:35 what the hell do i even do?
Edit: okay finally after like 20 minutes i finally got it... Jeez i messed up the 2 and didn't see lol

To solve it, let the spots 1,2,3,4 be a,b,c,d.
Then set up the equations to look like a matrix
---
a+b=10
a-c=6
a-d=5
b+d=5
c+d=5
---
a b c d | total
------------------
1 1 0 0 10
1 0 -1 0 6
1 0 0 -1 5
0 1 0 1 5
0 0 1 1 5

Then you do Gaussian elimination to get it into reduced-row echelon form, which is just subtracting rows from each other to try and get it to look like the identity matrix. It looks something like this:
---
subtract row 2 by row 1:
[(1-1) (0-1) (-1-0) (0-0) (6-10)]
which gives
1 1 0 0 10
0 -1 -1 0 -4
1 0 0 -1 5
0 1 0 1 5
0 0 1 1 5
---
If you keep doing row operations like this.
R2 <- R2 - R1
R3 <- R3 - R1
R3 <- R3 + R4
R2 <- R2 + R4
R1 <- R1 - R4
Swap(R4,R2)
R4 <- R4 + R5
Swap(R5,R3)
R4 <- R4 / 2
R3 <- R3 - R4
R2 <- R2 - R4
R1 <- R1 + R4
---
You'll get the matrix
1 0 0 0 8
0 1 0 0 2
0 0 1 0 2
0 0 0 1 3
0 0 0 0 0
So a=8, b=2, c=2, d=3
Bringing matrix algebra into this is overkill....
Just use a bit of logic and some trial and error.
ex:
A B
C D
--
Premise:
a+b=10
a-c=6
a-d=5
b+d=5
c+d=5
--
Take the line a - c = 6:
Since a - d = 5
A > 6
Since a - c = 6
A > 6
--
Pick a line (I like a - c):
Since 7 > 6
--
test 7
7 - 1 = 6 : c =1
1 + 4 = 5 : d = 4
check a - d
7 - 4 != 5
fails
--
test 8
8 - 2 = 6 : c = 2
2 + 3 = 5 : d = 3
check a - d
8 - 3 = 5 : pass
--
Fill b via addition
b + d = 5
b + 3 = 5 : b = 2
check a + b
8 + 2 = 10 : pass
//

lolll managed to open the door with brute force, by trying out combinations until one of them worked, I think it was 1, 2 and 20 or 24
Yeah, it's not immediately obvious without consulting a walkthrough. But as the previous person stated, it'll randomize each time you play, and this puzzle is literally like sudoku with extra stuff added. You're going to have to come up with numbers to solve those math problems. The numbers outside the grid are your answers, just gotta figure out the numbers. The numbers that fit the math problems are also the words you'll use for the summoning and each single digit will be a 1 thru 9. In this particular one, for instance, might wanna go for the 1st straight down with an answer of 6 since you are subtracting and one of your numbers will obviously be a larger number. Placing 8 in the box label 1 and 2 in the box labeled 3 will fit. 8 - 2 = 6. going for the bottom horizontal, it becomes addition to equal 5. 2 + 3 =5. This also fits the horizontal from 1 to 4. 8 - 3 = 5. Meaning our last number for #2 on the top horizontal will be a 2 as well. 8 + 2 = 10. So your numbers are #1 = 8, #2 = 2, #3 = 2, #4 = 3. So your words of summoning will be #1 MUDI, #2 DIRO, #3 DIRO, #4 FALU.
The walkthrough provided on the OP is good, just a few things that it needs to say to be clearer:
1) How the initials of your uncle's letter translate to the numbers on the lock. Doesn't seem to make sense.
2) You'll need to get the butane lighter before attempting to light the candles.
3) The timing of the potion brewing game is based on when you release your mouse click. The arrow will move back and forth without penalty for as long as you need. you can then take your time, click and hold the mouse button and release when the arrow is on the red part of the bar. the game is forgiving with mis-clicks, allowing several before it deems a failure. Failure just means you start the brewing process from the 1st part.
4) The steps of the summoning ritual will auto-complete once you have accomplished a step correctly. Podium (for drawing the sigils) will not be available until you light the candles correctly. When drawing a sigil, make sure to do solid lines (go slowly). Once the game detects most of a proper sigil, it'll auto-complete. After that, the sigil will float above the podium. click on that to choose the words for the ritual completion.

1) You right. I just forgot that it's called initials.
2) Well, it's somthing obvious, isn't it?
3) I'm just click in time. For my opinion, the fact that you can hold down a button sounds like a bug.
4) Yeah, your version is more correct

Sorry, i'm think you comment, my walkthrough. I just now saw that the title appeared from the author
The clock puzzle wasn't completely explained by the comments in here so:
You need to light all candles that correspond to the hour:minute combination of the 3 clocks. If it's 3:40, 1:20, 10:30, you'll need to light up the candles corresponding to 3 hour, 1 hour and 10 hour, as well as the ones corresponding to 40 minutes, 20 minutes and 30 minutes.
