  • Click everything that looks distinct!
  • Inspect all items in your inventory carefully (and perhaps they need to be clicked, too)
  • Screens where you're zoomed in—wherein you can't move left, right, or up—almost always have importance.
  • Holding/Equipping items can activate other parts of a puzzle. If an item seems connected to a puzzle, hold it!
  • The color square puzzle is on its own - it's not related to anything else in the escape room.

okay, I'm stuck in the puzzle, any hint for use of the hook?

Developer

Try draining the packing peanuts - the notebook isn't just for the movement puzzle you completed.

bro can u just tell Me the damn code this escape room is really annoying .

Developer

It's random for every person, but at the start of the room you can just skip the Escape Room altogether—you don't really miss out on all that much (a few pics in the album).

alright then, btw love your work, wish I could get more days mine stop's at day 13 , we hope to see more of ur work and thanks for the fast reply 

(+1)

lol

Hey man I really love the game so far but any hints on what to do with the coins? 

Developer

Look carefully at the left table from the entrance.

Escaperoom.... Aaaaaarrrrrghh! 

Is there a specific order in which to solve the room or can can I solve each puzzle in any order
I've got 6 items (won't say which ones so not to spoil the  game) 

Notebook?? Movementpuzzle??

More hints pls! :) 

Developer

Did you solve the movement puzzle? That's not the only clue the notebook has.

What other items have you not found a use for?

(+1)

Thank you! That helped!

Managed to figure out the movementpuzzle and after that it was a little bit of pixelhunting to get the hook... But I got it and also managed to finish the rest of the escaperoom. 

I only have one little issue with the keypad where i had 3 digits in correct order yet I couldn't "brute force" the code. you actually NEED to find all 4 notes to be able to "win" and get out of the escaperoom. Then again... we're in Paige's mind so it's all good! ;)

Now I'm stuck with the bonus puzzle, the colored squares one and it's a brainkiller for me... :(
I really hope you get some more numbers I can use to unlock Paige in the laptop gui. You know the "?" button that takes you to a picture of Paige with an interface where you can input a 4 digit pincode... I assume that may unlock Paige's memoryblocks.

Anyways, thanks again for this extremely witty VN! Thumbs Up!

Where do we start the Movement Puzzle?

I can't figure out the whole movement puzzle. Just the first part to get to the backpack.  I assume there is more since there are many more directions.  It's killing me, because I don't want to give up.  Any hints would be helpful.

This game is fantastic.  Excellent job, Wildman Dev!

Developer(+1)

The movement puzzle starts at the red square, make sure you've clicked it and have the notebook equipped. Once you look up from it, the directions/puzzle begin.

Got it! Thanks! Found the walkthrough you posted in another forum.
Your game is fantastic! It's laugh-out-loud funny.  I'm trying to figure out how to support you without Patreon showing up on my cc bill (even with Paypal)...

First off, love the game. Literally created an account for this lol, but i'm stuck on figuring out how to reach the safebox on top of the weird containers. 

Developer

You need a stepladder. Examine the barrels more carefully, they might help you open something.

u talking about blue barrels right?

Developer

Yeah.

so I got step ladder I get lockbox but only looking from main room 

Absolutely love the game but this escape room is doing my head in

You mention about a notebook but have not found that so rather stuck

Developer

Look closely at the bookcase.

Hi.

Thanks for that finally found that

Thanks

My inventory is missing one item - the hook. I cannot seem to find it. A little hint would be appreciated.

Developer

The spacesuit can be opened.

I'm literally stuck in this same place and can't seem to get access to the spacesuit no matter what I equip or click on. It may be due to playing on my phone and fingers are too big to click? (e.g., I had a lot of trouble picking up the notebook)


Any tips would be appreciated 

Developer

The spacesuit is accessed via the movement puzzle in the notebook - that is, the TL, TR bit found within it. Have you done that?

I thought I had, but now I realize I didn't. Thanks! This game is fantastic btw

(-3)

What is the tlr? or whatever? some kind of russion spy word for something? Speak fucking english. stop trying to green gas us or how the kids say it. everyone has the keys, the notebook, the ladder, the hammer, but how the fuck do we get a tlr? wth are you even talking about?!

Developer(+1)

There's no need for hostility.

TL means Turn left. 

TR means Turn Right.

U means Up.

D means Down.

These instructions can be found within the notebook.

I am facing the 2 Green  1Red, I do TR TR D then U then the only option is D so I am stuck

Developer

Start from looking down at the green square at the entrance.

i see a red square on the floor no green

Developer

Look back at the entrance from afar, click the red square, then hold the notebook and look down when you're standing under it.

Is there any tips you can give for the extra color puzzle. I'm completely lost on it lol. 

Developer

Not much I can think to say... a few of the clues are almost standalone, meaning they don't need other clues' context. Finding those ones helps with the others.

Thanks for the reply. I'm probably just overthinking it. It's a common problem with me. 😂😂😂

Developer

"All 6 colors are present."
"There are 5 colors in the first row."
"Pink only appears on the bottom row."
"Red and Pink are in the corners of the\nsame row."

These four are a good place to start, if this helps.

Deleted 2 years ago

Pink only appears in the top row for me??? How does this change the puzzle?

Theres no feedback or interaction how am I supposed tp know if Im doing the puzzle correctly or not?

Developer

It becomes interactable once you finish the escape room - rather than exiting it take a left.

(1 edit) (+1)

After a shamefully long time (during which I tried to brute force the code, twice), I finally got to the color part, and let me tell ya. This part. I cannot for the life of me get it all the rules to mesh together. I think I've got it worked out, for the most part, but that one of there are only two colors that appear once or whatever always trips me up. *Edit* yeah, after scrolling through the other replies, which I probably should have done from the get-go, I found that guy who posts a pic and answers it. I would have never gotten that. I was thinking mirrored like there's a collum on the left side and a collum on the right. Anyways, awesome game.

dang, you make a great escape room inside a great game.  I'm stuck on the third digit though, im guessing its under the peanuts but not sure how to get to the buttons.  I see the other clue at the bottom of the notebook but not sure where that is referring to, I've solved the movement puzzle but didn't see anything with those colors.

Developer

Make sure you have the notebook equipped and have clicked that clue at the bottom of it, then look around the spacesuit/garbage bins. 

(-1)

man I could have sworn I tapped there.  Hey got it though. Thanks for the help, and thanks for the awesome game!

Hello,

I am missing the screwdriver. I have already six items but I cannot find it.

Any clue ?

Thanks.

(+1)

try the hint he gave me, thats where I was stuck too.

Thanks for your help. It's still the same. However I didn't solve the movement puzzle. That may be the reason why I am stuck.

I will try to solve it then try again.

(1 edit)

i still cant find the screw driver..... nevermind..... found it....

I am still not having found it. I found some other things with other items but don’t know how to look to find it. I assume it may be nearby the place I need to use it but maybe it’s too dark in my house .

Developer

The screwdriver requires the notebook secondary puzzle (the bottom text) to be solved - make sure you've clicked that text, and also make sure you're holding the notebook when exploring around.

Thank you for the help.

I tried to solve the movement puzzle (with the notebook equiped) on the color squares but it didn't react if I click on one of them (is it supposed to react ?).

I don't know what D means on the notebook if you had a clue.

Developer

The color squares are unconnected to the rest of the escape room puzzles. The color squares are a bonus puzzle.

D means Down. TL means Turn Left. Near the entrance, make sure you've clicked the red square.

(1 edit) (+1)

I found it and figured the importance of the sentence on the notebook. I was saerching withthe colors squares but it was in plain sight in one of the room.

Thank you for your help. I am continuing to try to find the exit of the escape room.

Hello again,

I am not a native english speaker so I am not familiar with abbreviations, sorry for that.

I don't figure out what U means: You, U-turn ?

Thank you.

Quick update: since D is for Down, U must be for Up ?

Developer

Yes. I'll be more spoilery for you here: If you've clicked the red square on the ground (near the entrance), make sure you have your notebook equipped and then you can look down at it. It'll turn green. Once you get off that screen, begin the sequence in the notebook. U, TR, whatever the order.

I have finally made it with the Up thing. The rest went easy after that.

Thank you again for your help, I am out of the escape room !

So, is there a guide with all the answers and what to do? I suck at Escape Room stuff. 

also, maybe it's a part of my problem but since I entered the Escape Room game there seems to be a delayed reaction when clicking on certain things. Is my laptop just crap or?

Developer

Hard to say, though I haven't heard too many people talk about any delays.

There is a walkthrough but I don't think I'm allowed to post the website? You can safely click the "Give up" text near the entrance if doing the escape room doesn't interest you, the only thing you'll miss is a few optional bonus pics.

Oh good! I found some answers but I was still struggling with others. Thanks for the quick reply

(1 edit)

Ive found 3 of 4 numbers required. I got the coins, and the adjoining number, I got the fishing rod and hook, and the adjoining number and the number on the two green one red. I cant for the life of me find the last number. Only digit Im missing is the second digit.

Developer

Have you searched the trashcans closely and found anything? Then, from the barrels looking towards the bookcase, did you find anything particular about that screen? I think this is the step you're missing.

Ive found the notebook but nothing else on the bookcase. I have the clue off the cans and the rod. 

Biscuits and Gravy I found it.

Developer

Click the notebook's bottom clue then go to where it points

(1 edit)

I can't for the life of me figure out what to do with the colour problem next to the lockers

any help would be appreciated thanks

Developer

It's for after you solve the Escape Room and open the gate. Before leaving, go left instead of exiting.

(1 edit)

thanks

please help I’m only missing the 2nd digit. Plus I searched the trash boxes and found nothing, do I have to equip an Item while searching because I’m missing one item. Please any tip

Developer

One of the garbage bins has an object you can loot, maybe you already looted it?

From the barrels section looking towards the bookcase - there's something to click, did you spot it?

yes it worked thank you, I didn’t spot the chest at first

I'm only missing the fourth digit, any clues?

Developer

Did you use the stepladder to open a lockbox?

If so, did you use what you found inside the lockbox? Look around a table at the beginning of the escape room.

I did not find any stepladder. Where do I have to search?

Developer

Check the barrels very closely for a clue.

The thing in the plug, but it was one of the first things I found and cannot remember it well

Developer

Make your way to the lockers near the exit - you don't need to remember a pattern or anything.

I'm in front of the lockers bit nothing seems off. What now?

Developer

One of the doors should be openable, if not, did you check the tire earlier in the first area?

Deleted 2 years ago

I did check the tire and found the key, first item I got. Am I missing something or is it possible that I bugged the game somehow?

Developer

The key + clue from the barrels will make one of the doors among the lockers clickable/openable. Make sure you have the key equipped.

I'm honestly stumped by this escape room. I have the first, second, and fourth digits. I need the third. I have all items except one. I feel like I've tapped and explored everything that can be. I'm obviously missing something. Any tips

Developer(-1)

Have you found the screwdriver? You need to click the bottom clue in your notebook and then go where it leads. If so, have you used the hammer?

(2 edits)

I've used the screwdriver and the hammer. I lied, I think I've gotten all of the items. I swear I am not developmentally disabled. 

Developer

Inspect the train cart in the back with an item that you've combined.

(1 edit)

i have used the screwdriver but not the hammer, what and where can i use it?? Im also only missing the 3rd number and one item but i dont know what to do

Developer

If you've completed the movement puzzle (TL, U, TR) in the notebook, inspect the spacesuit more closely with the hammer equipped.

okay thx im done with it, i just cant seem to get the colour combination right for the last puzzle, maybe its bc its 4 am and i aint thinking straight, cause there is many clues there and my brain aint reaching it xD if u wanna give any help id apriciatte it, if not its alright ill try tomorrow morning xD great game btw keep it up

Developer

These clues are connected and help answer the rest of it.

"All 6 colors are present."
"Pink only appears on the bottom row."
"There are 5 colors in the first row."
"Red and Pink are in the corners of the same row."

I'm happy to give more direct help if you want, but it'll all fall together through process of elimination once you get a few pieces in place.

these is killing me, the only clue i cant put together is the mirrored one, might u give me some advice on that one? Perhaps in which position the mirrored ones have/can be? Much appreciated 

finally managed to complete it, way easier than i made it out to be xD ty for the help

(+2)

How did you solve the colors?

(1 edit) (+1)

I’m trying to do the movement puzzle and I walked the path but I still got nothing except walking into the middle of the hall. I have the notebook out and everything on the start square and everything 

Developer

Make sure you're looking up from the starting square when you begin. The sheer act of looking up from the square isn't a movement. The screen will shake it if worked. If you can't look down at the square, stand towards the middle and face it - then click it from afar.

(1 edit)

I did and I keep ending up in the hallway with nothing to unlock or learn  I’m facing the bookcase but nothing happened 

Developer

TL = turn left, the act of turning is the step itself. Only U and D will physically move you around the map.

Other than that, I can't think of what else is wrong.

(1 edit)

Oh my God I’m the dumbest man alive thank you so much

Developer

It's all good, glad it all worked out.

I'm playing on Android.

I'm stuck on the screen with the Simon memory game. Not stuck for clues. Literally stuck with no way to exit the screen. No UI, no arrows, can't left slide back. Is this a known bug?

Developer

I've never heard of this... hmm...

Have you tried hitting one of the four buttons on the memory game itself?

Yes. One of the colors flashes and I can't press it. The only thing I can press is the slot in the middle to start it. Then I'm stuck with no way to exit. I've redone the escape room twice with the same result. I'll just Exit it for now.

Thanks for the quick reply btw :)

Developer

Hmm, it's strange that you can't press the color after it flashes.

I'll look into the code.

(1 edit)

Thank you :)

The game is amazing by the way. Really awesome work

I've got all but the 2nd number and the bookcase is interactable again. But I can't figure out for the life of me what to do

Developer

Step back to the barrels and face the bookcase. Look to the right for a haze and click.

I am having trouble with 3 and fourth number s help? 

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

That should help.

I am confused 

(1 edit)

So, so, soooo confused.  I have three numbers - the two in the sticky note, and the small number off the trash bin.  That makes 3 numbers of 4, in an ordered format, yet when I use the keypad, no combination works when adding 0-9 as the third missing number.  For example, 37_6, and I'd tried all numbers in the third slot to no avail.  I have a small silver key, rusty key which I used already, step ladder which I used already (opposite lockers), coins which I used for Simon Says... I'm just stuck now, because NO number works for that third missing digit.

Developer(+1)

The number on the garbage bin is related to a Paige Code Pic, it's not part of the gate code.

Also, I make it so you can't unlock the gate without knowing all 4 digits - trying all combos doesn't work.

The small silver key is for something near the bookcase - look around near the barrels.

(1 edit)

If an orange is supposed to be above a green and in an odd column, this has to happen in the middle column but now I can't have five colors in the bottom row because pink, red, green are all locked in the odd columns and blue/orange can't be in evens. 

Developer

Hmm... I'd say keep playing with various setups and it'll all come together. There's only one way to solve it and it follows all the rules.

My buddy solved it. Turns out I interpreted "first" row incorrectly but ultimately only needed to change 3 squares. For anyone else reading this, the "first" row is the top row.

(4 edits)

so last edit. i have found everything except one number, i have 5X50. I'm pretty sure last number is linked to the colored squares with the little lockbox by the lockers  but cannot figure out for the life of me what I'm supposed to do here 

u have ig bro i wanna ask u smth

Can I have help with the movement puzzle I cant figure it out for the life of me and I have been trying to figure it out forever, when I look at the 2 green 1 red and do TL, TR, I don't get the option of U

Developer

means up, moving forward. Up arrow.

No sorry what I mean is when I am staring at the two green trash bins and the red trash bin after I turn left then right again I am facing the trash bins again but I  am not given the option to move with the directional movement button

Developer

The puzzle begins when you look up from the green square, meaning the act of looking up from the green square isn't a movement. Beyond that, TR means to turn right, which means to click the right arrow once.

green square? I don't recall a green square where is that located? sorry I don't mean to ask so many questions I am just a little lost

Developer(+1)

At the entrance theres a red square you need to click - then you can look down at it, and if you have the notebook equipped, it will turn green (the square).

(1 edit)

Ok, I have the 1st, 2nd and 4th numbers and read somewhere about using 9 as the last number but the door won't open. Am I missing something? Also, I have 1 empty spot on the item list, did I miss something?

Developer

It's randomized for each player and I block the ability to brute force any amount of digits.

For the third number, have you used the hammer?

Yes, I saw a post about the train car and got the last number and the gate is open. I know from reading this post earlier after I open the gate I'm not supposed to exit but get a final bonus puzzle. How do I get to the final puzzle and what do I gain from solving the puzzle rather than just leaving?

Developer

At the exit, you're offered the ability to leave. Decline that and instead take a left. Click the scroll and then head to the colored squares.

(+1)

I know this is probably a dead thread but here I am playing this and I'm stuck.  The combination of tiles I've placed here fit every single criteria, yet it's still wrong.  

Some help please!


Developer

It's the mirrored column thing that's wrong. Well, debatably wrong, depending on how you interpret it. Mirrored in the way that up is down, so if two connected columns are mirrored, the top-most color of column A would be the bottommost color of column B.

(+1)

For anyone else still lost on this (took me a bit), swap the red and yellow on the top row of the pic.

(1 edit)

Thank you for posting this. How do you get the color square game to activate? I've clicked everything I can see in that view but it will not activate. I also tried every item in my inventory while clicking the box.

I can't get past the Simon says game it's stuck 

Developer

Make sure you have the coins, and click one of the colors. 

It'll highlight a color, you click the color (example Green).
Then it'll select another color to continue the pattern, (Green, Purple) 
You then click Green, Purple.
Then it'll select another color to continue the pattern, (Green, Purple, Red) 
You then click Green, Purple, Red.

If that doesn't work, what happened exactly that caused it to get stuck?

I can't find all of the hidden numbers in the Escape Room. (not the keypad, the "unrelated to the puzzle" numbers)
I found the last and the two "middle" numbers. Of the two middle numbers, one seems to not always appear or maybe in different spots?
Can't seem to find the first number.
Two seem to be static and always in the same spot, the other two are random and only might appear?
(I'd like to put where I've found them, but also don't want to write out spoilers. :/ )

I've gone around and clicked on everything, multiple times. Reloaded a save from the start of the Escape Room and went through it multiple times.
After finishing the Escape Room, I tried guessing the last number since I had 3 of 4 but that didn't work.

Developer

Two are found by clicking the number itself within the Escape Room - did you find both of them?
One is found at the entrance, did you find that one?

I haven't found an actual number by the entrance. Just the one you hit yourself for.
One time, I found one on an item on the desk you start out facing.
A couple times on an item in the cart.
I've found the actual number near the exit.

Developer

Did you find the one near the garbage bins?

(1 edit)

Just looked, can't seem to find any near there.
Should I just write the exact locations where I've found them so far then edit out spoilers after?
Sometimes trying to talk around things makes it difficult. 

(Not sure if it matters, I'm playing version 1.5.)

Developer

Bottom left of the leftmost garbage bin should have a clickable number.

Wow! That was very, very hidden. TYVM!
Also GG on hiding it so well. XD

Im trying to use the key on the item by the book case but it doesnt work helppp!!!

Developer

If it's the one you found in the tire, thats for something else. Look around (and inside) the garbage bins for a different one.

Love the game by the way, think i am missing a bunch of stuff,,, right now i should have the gate code, i found the sticky with 2 numbers, red trash with "memory" number and the number scratched in the wall like you would find in the first Saw movie. I tried different combos based on them and no help with the gate. I havent found a notebook or screwdrive fishing hook ect.. either my old eyes cant see it or i am missing some things


Thoughts

Developer

So the gate code is all on the sticky note; you'll need all 4 digits to open the gate. The other set of numbers are for a Paige Code Pic, and they're found throughout the escape room in various ways.

I would say check/click the notebook, look carefully when viewing the bookcase from beside the barrels, and remember to equip items that seem relevant to specific part of the escape room.

i havent found it, unless the item button is it. I got hammer, coins ladder club key, and handcuff key, as you can tell i am early in the puzzle. i see all the points in the game but not finding the triggers or a certain piece.. 

Developer

Have you done the movement puzzle (green square at entrance and notebook?)
What about checking the table on the left from the entrance?
Did you find/use both clues from the notebook?

Hello! First to say is that this is the best game of the world!!!

And I wanted to ask you when the next update show up?

Developer

Thanks for the kind words. April/May is the goal for Days 17-18.

thanks

I have another question. So when the days 17–18 are 5$ I think, are 14-15 or 14-16 free?

Developer

There will be a Days 14-16 free version released at some point, though I'm prepping the game for a Steam release, so I'm still nailing down all the details.

i check both tables, no book, i dont see a green square, there is a red square below the quit sign. Am i in the wrong area

Developer

From the entrance, look closely under the left table.
The notebook is at the bookcase. 

i cant find the screwdriver, I've done everything else.

Developer

Did you click the clue within your notebook? Make sure it's equipped and go where it says, if so.

I did, I still can't find it

Developer

So with the notebook equipped, going to the screen with the garbage bins will activate a message + a new Up arrow that allows you to go behind the garbage bins, wherein a backpack will be found.

Okay, thank you. I must have just missed the arrow

Where do I find the coins in the escape room

Developer

If you have the stepladder, look to use it around the exit area.

If you don't, inspect the barrels very carefully and make sure you've looked at the tire in the middle of the entire area.

have the step ladder and still nothing popped up in the area its the last thing need T_T

Developer

Look up, on the opposite side of the lockers that you got the stepladder from.

thanks that was the last bit I was stuck on. I enjoyed the color puzzle

hi. Love the game. Lots of hard work went into this so thumbs up!!  I’m stuck on the Simon game. I touched the slot in the centre and now I’m frozen.  I cannot move or choose another option. Please help

Developer

Did you have the coins equipped? You should be able to click any color to reset it.

I put something in when I hit the slot but now there’s nothing for me to click off of

it’s stuck on that view. I can see the Simon game but I can’t look up from it or move away from it

Developer

Try clicking one of the 4 colors - any color, just keep clicking them until something happens. If nothing happens, you might need to reload an autosave. You're essentially waiting until a color lights up, then you click the color that does light up, then two colors will light up (one after the other), wherein you'll click the two colors in order, and so on. 

But you're not the first person to have this issue, so I'll look into the code.

ya. Unfortunately no colours have lit up and I am 100% stuck. Last save I made other than the one I’m stuck on was from day 1. Damm. Sorry buddy  

Developer

The game does auto save quite often, you should check those. I'm fairly certain I have it auto save right before you start the escape room.

went back in time and started fresh. Back in the escape room. Solved the Simon puzzle. I have all but one item. I can’t get the space suit open. I cannot get up to the train. I cannot open the box under the colored boxes. And I have only found the 6 and the 8 on the sticky note. Any advice would help. I have both keys, the sticky, the notebook, the screwdriver, the fishing pole, the coins and the hammer and the ladder. 

Developer

Make sure you solve the movement puzzle in the notebook. It starts by looking down at the red square with the notebook equipped, and then following the route in the notebook. To be able to start it, make sure you've clicked the red square on the ground back at the entrance.

yep did the movement quest. Got the bang and crash

Developer

Did you collect the sticky note on the green square?

I’m good now. Got out and am back to enjoying this amazing game

Probably an idiot, but I've completed the movement puzzle (ground shaking, extra text), but the space suit is still stuck behind the red mesh, and the hammer does nothing. What am I doing wrong?

me too

Developer

Just saw these two posts. Go collect the sticky note on the green square.

Weird. Checked a few times before the note appeared. Finally got it though, thanks Wildman!

A word of advice, once you "finished" the movement minigame with the notebook and your character gets all happy ? or scared ? about some kind of earthquake DO NOT unequip the notebook instead go back to where that minigame started to get your reward. I got stuck for hours because of that. -_-

help please! cannot find hook or hammer. have everything else, as far as i can tell and 3  of 4 numbers. Thanks for the great game, and the challenge!!!

Developer

Hammer is around the exit gate - remember, if you click into a screen (where you can't go left, right or up) it most likely means there's something there.

The hook is a bit harder to find, and you need the hammer. Have you solved the movement puzzle in your notebook?

yes movement puzzle and the memory game.  Thank you everybody for that clarification. I didn't recognize it. lol

I am sick on the bonus puzzle. You said it becomes interactive once you complete the escape room. We'll I got the code For the gate, opened the gate, then turned around and went back to the color squares but I can't get them to move at all. No interaction seen except for the dialogue you get by click on the box.

Developer

when selecting the option to exit the gate, choose no and turn left. click the scroll and it becomes available.

yeah I just saw your earlier post with this, thx. 

Having trouble with Escape Room. Got to the Red Square to start the movement puzzle, but when I select Notebook from inventory, it equips, but nothing happens when I click the magnifying glass that's supposed to bring up the movement directions. Everything else is clickable, but I'm just completely stuck at this point.

Otherwise, I absolutely love the game so far, the characters, design, rendering and dialogue are fantastic.

Hmm, I'm not sure how that could be happening. Can you click the magnifying glass to view the sticky note? I'm currently in the process of overhauling some of the code for the Escape Room, so hearing about this now is helpful.

Thank you for replying. No, clicking the magnifying glass for the sticky note also does nothing. In both cases, I have also attempted hovering the cursor over every part of the magnifying glass, and it also doesn't light up like any other clickable item/figure in Escape Room.
If it helps, this is on a Windows 10 PC.

Other than reloading a previous save I can't think of what to suggest. I'll definitely playtest this more thoroughly as I release Days 17-18/the Steam version. 

Thanks. I have one from just before Escape Room begins, so I'll try from there, and if the issue persists or whether this resolves it, I'll update you here. If it does persist beyond this, I'll try to reinstall the game.

Thank you again for replying, and as I said, I really do love the game so far!

How do you start the color square puzzle?

Developer

Make sure you complete the escape room (and can leave) - when clicking the exit, decline to exit and click the left arrow instead

I've completed the room, and chosen to 'Stay', but nothing will activate in the color square puzzle.

Developer

Right after you choose to stay, you can click the "left arrow" navigation at the bottom right of the screen. Clicking the left arrow will bring you to the scroll which starts the color puzzle.

Hello. Thank you for the game. Mostly enjoying the story.

The "Escape Puzzle" is a bit tricky. A little more help or hints would make it more enjoyable, in my opinion. Without looking for help I would likely never have finished it for missing things...

I have done, sort of, the color puzzle. To clarify; I have done the puzzle, and from what I read and interpret, my solution fits what is written, but it is denied as a solution. I have checked a few times and I cannot see what does not meet what is written down. I don't want to submit what I have done here, as it could be a spoiler, but I would like to send it to you to verify or correct. I  do not contact developers often. I do not particularly like connecting to many channels with Discord. Is there an email I can send you a pic to? Something you have setup for that? I understand that emails have their issues as well. Maybe an email that will not receive an email unless you have approved the sender? ie added there email to the list so that you can receive emails from that email address? I will not share that. I disapprove of spam, and things like it, on general principle. The simple reason is it's rude. And I do not approve of things being done without consent. Including emailing to try and sell you something. I don't think that should have been allowed even with regular mail! Cost did create, somewhat, of a restriction on regular mail but, electronic communication allowed it to become rampantly abused. Best option; people just DO NOT abuse things (including each other). But we are a long way away from that!

I am going to bypass that puzzle and finish for now. Not sure if I can go back or not. That would be a nice option!

Thank you for the game.

I'm wondering if you saw the "Thoughts" text at the top right of the screen, as it gave a ton of hints for the Escape Room.

If you join the Discord linked on my Itch, you could private message me and send the image of the solution. I imagine the part that's confusing is the mirrored column. 

It looks like:

X Y
Y X

Yes. I did guess that was what was meant. I did not have it that way before but it is that way in the solution I am talking about. I will see about logging on to Discord to at least send you the picture. I am not a big user of Discord for staying connected to 'channels'. Mostly just communication with friends for game playing and just communication

Is the circular color pad puzzle necessary? (Probably has the the fourth digit when solved) I have the coins, but once the first color lights up, I can't seem to do anything. It's like the game has frozen and i have had to reload multiple times. (Playing on Android) Reloading really sucks because I can't save during the escape room. 

Please advise

Developer

You watch as a color lights up, then tap the color. So, let's say it's green.

Green lights up. You tap green.
Then you watch as that sequence grows.
Green, Purple.
Then you tap Green, Purple.
It continues.
Green, Purple, Green.
Then you tap Green, Purple, Green.
You keep matching the sequence as it grows.

Developer

Also, there should be a Reset button on the far left when you start the memory game. That will "reset" it - there's no need to reload. I'm just wondering if the version on Itch has this, but I'm fairly certain it does.

(1 edit)

It ended up  working out after a few tries. Although,  just a heads-up, the game definitely froze multiple times and I did not have a reset button.

I still love your work, I'm just pointing this out to help you.

Developer

I sincerely appreciate it. It's definitely an older version issue, but I'll get it fixed.

I'm stuck on the escape game. I need something to get the packing peanuts out. There should be some sort of complete guide to get through.

ok got it but here's the problem. I pretty much found ever keypad number except the second to last.

I just want to say the in the colour puzzle, the hint "There are 5 colours in the first row" screwed me because I assumed the first row was the bottom row.

Developer(+1)

I'll change the wording to the top row.
