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.

Developer

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.

Developer

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!

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

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 I'm on day 13 I think and got the dm from the unknown character asking me to spell out three; 8 letter words I can't seem to solve this as I've put multiple 8 letters words and none work is there a specific one the game wants also 10/10 game love the story the chick's are cute but the plot is what drives me.

Developer

In order, the words are:

Champions
Powerful
Trophies

yep figured cuz I got some code to run the letters and only the set from the dictionary it was a breeze but jeesus I'm dumb thanks again tho. I got to the escape room and even found 2 keys a step ladder and hammer but couldn't advance any further and gave up after an hour it was a doozey great game tho 10/10

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.

OK I enjoyed the game so far but I'm stuck in the escape room since days and will have to quit the game and play something else if I dont find a walkthrough or any other trick to leave the room an go on with the normal game.

Developer

There are several walkthroughs online. At the entrance there's also a give up button to move on, which won't cause you to miss any scenes or story content. And finally at the top right of the screen is the clickable word "Thoughts" that is kind of an in-game walkthrough.

Thank you very much for your quick answer. I tried the give-up button but I could not manage to get close to it. There is a lot of rubble in the way.
