This version is quite a bit easier than the other! I guess I'll never know what the original solution to the ground floor was...

Developer(+1)

The code in the kitchen was pretty challenging in the original but essentially
3 = Cabinet in the far right corner hanging on the wall

7 = Shadow from the window

8 = cakes on the table

2 = (super struggled for this one) "2 do" on the notice board


I'm glad this version was easier, it was much funner to make!

I got the shadow from the window for seven but that was the only one I was sure of.

The cakes were obviously important, the 8 was the shape they make? Or the total strawberries decorating them?

The "2 do" was really blurry in the webgl version. I actually took a screen shot and zoomed in, but it looked more like '2x' than '2 do' so I thought I was supposed to multiply the number of post-it notes stuck on the board. However that gave me a number greater than 9.

The cabinet I completely missed!

I'm glad I changed it, I was never really happy with that version, it didn't feel obvious enough, thanks for the feedback though, super useful!

I am terrible at escape room games. Made it to the room with the books and got stuck. On my second try, I just jumped out of the attic and considered my character had officially escaped. Wooo! Close enough!

Cool room escape simulator also the low poly art style is kind of nice!

Thanks for the feedback!

I love escape rooms. I haven't played one in this perspective before which was refreshing. I liked the style. One bug I noticed was that on my first go I fell out of the side of the screen and couldnt get back and needed to restart. I loved the art style, lighting and music

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, apologies for the bug, version 1.1 is hopefully much better but will only be available after the jam rating. Really glad you enjoyed the other parts though!

Cool concept! I like escape room puzzles, and you did a good job making making each one. The doll house POV, the aesthetics, and music were all really well done and creative.
(small FYI, you can walk out of the left and right walls in the attic)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! That bug should be addressed in the V1.1 zip but I can't update the jam game with it as it introduces new mechanics :(

Submitted(+1)

Alright I'm going to need some help!

The first is boxes. Is the second books?

Developer(+1)

Bit of a multi-step puzzle that one, one hint I can give is it's where the books are and what they might indicate than say the number of books, if that helps at all

Submitted(+1)

Let me out!

Developer(+1)

Did you make it out?

Submitted(+1)

I did not. 😿

I'm missing at least two pieces of the puzzle.

good concept and i also like the music. good job. 

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

Really cool game, minimalistic but well put together. I like the assets and music selection for the environment. Fits the Tiny World perfectly. 

I had no trouble finding the code combination, very clever design! I like puzzle games like this.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked the game!

I like the perspective of the camera coming from outside of the house and that it shows other rooms / floors aswell. Great aestetics and fitting music, nicely done! (I'd also appriciate if you could rate my game aswell).

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

Nice assets and music, but I couldn't seem to interact with anything except the trap door, which brought up a combination lock. I expect there are items around that I just can't interact with for some reason. If there any bugs that get patched let me know and I'll happily replay!

Also noticed one bug where if I walk through the attic wall to the left or right I go right through and can't get back inside.

Submitted

I also had the same issue. Once fixed I'll return to try again

Developer(+1)

Hey, thanks for playing. The majority of puzzles are environment based so you need to look at the environment to figure out the code. In the 1.0 release there was little in the way of interaction. For 1.1 it introduced new mechanics so I've got a zip of it here that's playable but I can't replace 1.0 with it (more interactions in 1.1).

Thanks for the reply, I'll give it another try then!
