Thanks so much! I’m working on the demo right now and I’m hoping to finish it by next month. After that I’ll be playtesting it and making sure it’s polished so that might take some time. Thank you for asking! :)

Hi, thanks so much for playing, I’m really glad you like it! :)
For the hammocks, if you examine them you can view their occupant’s belongings. Here are some hints for those belongings:
Cook book
This likely belongs to the cookHandkerchief with C.D.
Is there someone whose initials are C.D.?Cough syrup
Has someone been coughing?Watch key
Who owns a watch and sleeps in the Mess?Left-handed scissors
Is someone left-handed? (Pay attention to the ale mugs)Sage under hammock
Someone mentioned that they were burning sage under their hammock.Blue Cards and Red Cards
Whose cards are they playing with in the Mess? What color are they? Someone mentioned not being able to play with their own deck because some of its cards are missing.And then you can get the last one by elimination. If you need more help, there’s a walkthrough in the downloads which gives the answers. :)
Hi, thanks for playing! :)
The part where you need to enter something else comes later. After entering the witness statements, the next puzzle is figuring out which hammock belongs to whom. To view the hammocks deduction section in the diary, you have to first view the items in the hammock containing the cream and robe (without this, you would have no reason to make deductions about the hammocks).
Hi! I remembered that someone had streamed the game a while back (thanks Cryptic Hybrid! :D).
You can use the video as a reference for the doctor puzzle, if you like, but the game has been updated since the video was made so a lot of later puzzles will be different! :)
Pay close attention to how each shape moves. I’ve given the answers below if you want to confirm your answer.
Squares
Squares move clockwise along the borderCircles
Circles move diagonally and bounce off wallsTriangles
Triangles move down two boxes and wrap around to the first columnOrder of precedence
Some shapes get priority over others. You can see that when both a square and a circle are about to occupy the same position, the square gets preference and the circle moves on to its next position. Order of precedence in occupying a box - square > circle > triangle, so fill squares first, circles second and triangles lastYeah that is a little tricky.
Part 1
In part 1, you need to place all the alphabets such that the gaps between them match the blocks in the clue sets. All placements can be logically deduced. For example, B and I must be in the 4th and 5th column next to each other and must have at least 3 rows above. Since X/Y is already in the last row, B and I must go in the 4th row.Part 2
In part 2, you have to pay close attention to how each shape moves and interacts with each other. For example, the squares move clockwise along the border. You'll also need to figure out which shape gets priority when multiple shapes are trying to occupy the same box.Part 3
You'll need to use both Part 1 and Part 2 for this.First part of Part 2 shows that the order of precedence when finding the coordinates for the letters is triangle > circle > square. Also see how Doctor Trout got the first two letters.
If you still need help with the solution, you can download CrypticSolutionImagesV2.4 from the downloads section above. :)
Thanks for playing!
Hint about this puzzle
I'm not sure if you've figured this out already but you will always get an error if you enter four numbers in a row. The lock registers the "wrong password" sound made on the phone when the fourth number is entered and gives an error.Passcode
The passcode is 12365479.Thanks for trying the game, I appreciate it! :)
I’m not sure if I understood the issue. Without a left click, you wouldn’t be able to play the game at all because it’s needed for everything, not just combining items.
Is it that your laptop doesn’t have a physical button for left click so it’s hard to drag? Because this game doesn’t need you to drag items to combine, you just click the first item and then the second item in the inventory. If those items can be combined, you will see a change otherwise nothing will happen.
Hi, thanks so much for playing! I’m glad you’re enjoying it! :)
Spoiler
You're right, the answer is that Noah Devlin and Nathan Glass saw each other at the head last night. Are you sure all the fields are entered in correctly? If they are and it's showing it as incorrect then there might be some bug I haven't come across yet. Can you try re-entering to see if that works?Excellent game! There’s a surprising amount of depth in the puzzles and story for a jam game. I really enjoyed taking my time to get all the photos the right away even though the three photo verification system did tempt me to try and brute force some of the last ones.
Just an idea but maybe after a point you can increase the number of correct photos required to get a verification, so that players stick to finding clues instead of brute forcing. The last photos were some of the most rewarding puzzles of the game.
Very well done! I’d definitely play a bigger version of the game.
Oh I think I understand exactly how you’re getting the above numbers and I think a lot of other players may be having the same problem too.
Almondish is kind of a bare-bones language and you may run into trouble if you try to add proper English grammar to your translation.
Every word has exactly one meaning so when translating, you should use exactly the same interpretation everywhere.
BIG SPOILER
If you think pak means "gave" then every instance of the word pak must mean "gave" (and not any other form of the word). Try finding a word for pak that fits all 3 instances well.Hope this helps!
Wow, I’m so happy you’re enjoying these games! Thank you so much for playing them all!
There is a way to get all the numbers but you’ll need to understand Almondish first. Every word they say has a meaning, and you can deduce it by their reactions to different objects that you give them. Also pay attention to any overlap in words being said by different people.
