Nice,good luck with the next iterations :)

Thanks Kurt, do you aim for a certain direction with the game or do you see where it goes? Will it be a "simple" arcade game for highscore hunting or some kind of "discover what happened on this planet and why the old civilization is gone" where you explore, find clues and objects, find secret caves etc.?

Feels nice floating over the ground with the occasional skyrocketing and chaos :D

I discovered the forest but let me ask if there is more to discover? My score was 28, could be improved :)

Hey, no, there are no jump scares, no monsters, no other life forms at all. It is just exploring the room and finding clues. The topic is a bit dark so what you will find out is scary and sad.

I cannot say because it is not for me to decide. Let me explain:
The first room is a fan remake of a real existing escape room and it was playable until January 2022. The owners noticed the game on Steam and did not want their puzzles to appear online and asked me to deactivate it. At some point in time, it might get reactivated but it is for the owners to decide on that. Last status from June 2022: the owners still do not know when they will decommission their room so it will take a bit more time to wait for the first room to come back into the game.

:) The computer is still a bit dumb right now but it was always best to play with a mate.

wtf are you talking about? do you even know him? I don't think so...

Thanks for the game, it is really addictive :D

You have to sort the items on the table in the colored trays. Use that info then on the colored buttons. But listen to the sound they make ;)

That way you can spend more hours with the game ;) Good luck!

Thank you very much :)
For part 3: I know I want to make it at some point but at the moment I need a bit of a break, I am making this game as a hobby after work so I had almost no free time for the last year. But that doesn't mean I will quit ;)

Hi Gogeta,

SPOILER AHEAD AS WELL!!! :)
That is a bit confusing since you might not have been able to play part 1, I hope it will be back someday.
The hairdresser is the internal codename for your colleague from part 1 who was spying and kidnapping women. And because he loves hair so much and takes it from them before delivering them to Barbara in her house on the beach. So they are working together. And he is spying on her in secret because...she has nice hair as well... he really is creepy. And so the timeline is like you were discovering the doings of your colleague/hairdresser in part 1 and rescuing Barbara because it seemed like he will kidnap her. In fact, he was just supposed to meet her that day. That is why Barbara is annoyed on the tape recorder about him not showing up that day. In the end, she talks about the dinner she promised you for the "rescue". Then she gets a call from another accomplice (the one on the ship), telling her about the arrest of the hairdresser. So she packs up and flees. The other message on the answering machine is from Celine who is sitting in the café, waiting for Barbara. She was talking about that on the voice recorder. And of course, they won't meet that day. It is not important for the main story, just a small side arc to discover.
If you have any more questions, let me know. Thank you for playing the game! :)

Hey iwan & kat_ze,
If you don't know what to Let's Play next, the game got a new room waiting for you :)

If you want, you can play it once more, now with the new room in place :)

Hey Toma,
Part 2 was just released and I hope the puzzles are more to your liking (even if some of them may be harder)

Here you have it :)

Nice! Congrats and thanks for playing! :) Part 2 is in development!

If you are playing the English version it says "Very catholic" on the CD and this would be the Bishop piece. If you can't find it, you have to open the small wooden box first.

I will also try to build on that, giving "more story" but always keeping it in the background to be explored. My goal is that every puzzle solved will tell you a piece of the story. Maybe it won't work all of the time but what are goals for :)

Thank you ☺️ and you are right, I try to make more diverse puzzles in the sequel! 

Well you got the pieces right, Queen, Bishop and pawn. Double check they are on the right positions that are mentioned on the CDs. Also make sure the Bishop is  not a pawn (they look similar) or the Queen is right (she has no cross on the head)

Hey, thanks for playing :)

You can start by arranging the yellow sticky notes in alphabetical order and use the underlined numbers on them for the yellow/golden lock.

Another tricky thing is sorting the plates and then match the cups by their pattern. The numbers in the plates give you the order of the code and the cups the digits. Use those on the red lock.

Good luck and feel free to ask for more hints here or on the Discord :)

Thank you! The 0 second runs were possible in multiplayer where one player solved the game, got the last card and then joined another player in multiplayer who started a fresh game and after start the first player immediately activated the final door. Then the second player who started the game had 0 seconds. But it is fixed now, the times are synchronizes between players.
I guess 0 seconds now is possible by hacking only but let me know :)

Thank you very much :) Sadly, I don't have a Mac so I can't create a version for it and I also wouldn'T be able to support questions for that version. But maybe one day...I can afford a used MacBook or something, then you will get your version ;)

Congrats to that big step! :)

Hi all and a happy new year to you all!

Right before the last year ended I finally found the time to bring my escape room game to itch.io. It was very well received on Steam but I wanted to make it available to everyone who does not have access to Steam. The good thing is, you can still solve the room in coop-mode with your friends on Steam.

The game is not the traditional escape room I guess, it simulates the experience of a real-life room so you can walk and interact freely in 3D. You have to find the right clues to get behind the dark secret of your colleague and escape his trap. You can solve it alone in 1-3 hours but I am told some puzzles are considered "hard" so you can also bring up to five friends to solve it together.  If you are into speedrunning you can also try to break the 10 seconds barrier :)
And you don't have to pay anything for it I am happy to provide this experience to as many players as possible, even those who can't afford to buy many games.

Hope you like it and if you are stuck you can visit the Discord and I or other users will try to give you more hints :)

<3  :)

Thank you! :) I remember your Let's Play with KatZe, it was also very entertaining to watch!
