This thread is intended for people looking for hints to any of the puzzles. All hints I'll post will be encoded using rot13. Regardless, avoid reading below if you don't want spoilers, as some information is not obfuscated well even with rot13.
This game does have a built-in hint system. Every 3 minutes (this value can be increased or decreased in the Options/Gameplay menu) a new note will be passed through the door, containing a hint for one of the puzzles you have left unsolved.
If you are posting hints for others, please be considerate and also encode your hints in some way so that people can choose whether to read them or not. Thanks!
For convenience, the hints are as follows (rot13 encoded, as mentioned above):
