You smashed the box and now have to decide whether to save the others who are to be buried alive. You won’t get to decide, the game will decide for you.

When you click the red pentagram the image will flash and you will see a dot around each of the letters in the word PATTERN in the top-center. The center-cell of each grid also has a dot. Start by placing the letters of PATTERN in the center of the grids, matching the dots around the letters and the dots in the center-cells.

Studying the grids you should realize that A is always to the right of L, in every grid, if you allow wrapping (around to the other side if you step off it in any direction). As an example, see the bottom left grid: if you take one step right from the L, you will wrap around to the other side, and there is the A.

Since L and A always have the same relationship in each grid, and since there is no other information given, one has to assume that all letters will have the same relation to each other in all grids, so that the different grids are the same only shifted in different directions.

So one way to begin is to look at the bottom left grid again. The E in PATTERN is now in its center. This means E will always be one step south-west of L, and one step south-east of A. Use this information to place the E in the three grids that has L and A in them.

To carry on, all it takes is to do some thinking, apply the principal of exclusion, and some trial and error. You will find that there is one unique solution where all grids are the same but shifted versions of one another.

When you are done, simply extract the letters from the numbered cells to get the answer.
