Jay The wait is over. The next installment in the tremendously popular Submachine series is finally here. Submachine 4: The Lab again submerges you inside a vessel that you must escape from, if you can, using nothing but the point-and-click, room escape skills you have acquired.

If you're new to the series, you may wish to begin with the original game that started it all, Submachine. From there work your way through these engaging and brilliantly constructed adventure games.

Created by Mateusz Skutnik, the author promises that this fourth chapter takes us to the heart of the submachine, the place where all the questions will finally be answered. So grab your mouse and your favorite comfy chair, and prepare to embark on a journey you won't soon forget.

Please do not copy and paste a walkthrough here obtained from someplace else. If you wish to have your walkthrough considered as the official walkthrough here and earn one credit towards a t-shirt, your walkthrough must be original and in your own words. No plagiarism please.

Posted by: Trame | April 20, 2007 7:49 PM

I don't think that's right, since I found all 21 before I finished the game. It looks like you missed the secret you can find

by using the hammer on the square stone area in Ancient Section directly above the four switches

Does that mean there's actually 22/21?

Posted by: Idran | April 20, 2007 7:53 PM

Jay, I'd like to thank you for keeping such an excellent site, I've enjoyed it for almost a year now, and it has revitalized both my interest and my hope-in games. Thank you.

I've played through the previous Submachines, and probably due to that, the journey through and ultimately, the completion of this game took on an emotional significance I usually do not experience in browser based games.

I'd like to state my reactions:

It was great to see how Mateusz managed to create a compelling and mysterious storyline/atmosphere weaving together the disparate gameworlds of the previous three. I've really enjoyed these games, and hope he continues his game making. I'd like to add that I love bonus material, and though I've played 99-rooms, I think the population of point-and-click fans(myself included) would eagerly embrace another such game( especially if it was filled with the same inventive puzzles Mateusz always create). Great fun.

Thank you. Keep up the great work!

Oh, and on a completely bragging note: Just beat it with all secrets, no walkthrough, no help.

Posted by: ISIS | April 20, 2007 8:04 PM

Not sure this is quite out of beta...

I think if you put the plug and stone key in before opening the door and getting the tile that it makes the tile disappear. I'm not certain, but I went to the walkthrough on my first attempt, and wasn't able to get all the tiles no matter what I did.

Posted by: Dave

| April 20, 2007 8:06 PM

I'm stuck...Even with the walkthrough. Can anyone help?

I'm on the bottom floor of the lab, go up the ladder after getting the cd-rom, pick up the irontrioxide and then the walkthrough says to go right...I can't...

Posted by: Andrew | April 20, 2007 8:11 PM

i've collected all the secrets but i was waiting for any funny game in the bonus..

Posted by: LordMagin | April 20, 2007 8:18 PM

I looked at the walkthrough, and I'm having trouble finding something. Can anyone help?

It says the rubber tube, gas handle, the key, and naphthalene is in suit coat pocket...but only the naphthastuff was there. The gas handle and the key were in another spot. Where is the rubber tube?

Is the walkthrough incorrect?

Thanks in advance! Great game!

Posted by: Anonymous | April 20, 2007 8:27 PM

Out, with 22/21. Good game. This is the first one I haven't had to go looking for hints. I feel all kinds of smart right now. :D

Posted by: lizardling | April 20, 2007 8:38 PM

Though I remain terribly confused, I think this is his best one yet! Call me Gregory if you want, but I like going to the room with the really happy music, so I can listen to it as I do other worthless thingies.

Posted by: MANAX | April 20, 2007 8:50 PM

Actually, I wouldn't worry about finding the 21 secrets since...

there's at least 22 ;-) including one at the "think you've looked..." coordinates

Posted by: Arcan | April 20, 2007 9:11 PM

Great game!!! I REALLY liked the ending. :)

Posted by: laptopdude

| April 20, 2007 9:15 PM

It looks like there's one more mystery, unless I missed something. The 2nd gate in the lab room seems un-movable, and the open doors beyond unreachable. Am I missing something?

Posted by: Dr_Pangloss | April 20, 2007 9:36 PM

SUPER FUN!!! Thanks for the secrets help, Trame.

BTW, what did getting all the secrets do in the other submachine that had secrets? I think I ended with one missing :(

Posted by: Anonymous | April 20, 2007 9:36 PM

Um, I'm stuck in the ancient room, too...I can't seem to find Tile B. I've opened all the doors, found the passkeys, got the knife, etc. but I don't know where that last tile is. Help, anyone?

Posted by: amylu | April 20, 2007 9:55 PM

Stuck in the looping trap. Even with Walkthrough. Saw one switch and it changed to green. Can't make any other disk things turn into switches.

Also, does anyone know if you quit mid game if it is saved or you have to start over?

Some sort of prize?

LOVE these Submachine games, and my boys get a kick out of helping me find things. Found 22 secrets!

When you get to the brick room with the water pipe, how do you turn the water pipe off? I read the walkthrough but I still couldn't turn it off.

Posted by: ***N.J. E$HA***

| April 20, 2007 11:30 PM

Yay! I got all the secrets!

All but four? of them are accessible w/o having to open anything

One is available after you raise all the cubes w/the bell

One you have to use the hammer on

One you have to unscrew a plate for

The one that took the longest made me go back and look at a machine that has no other game function...

Use the coil!

Posted by: Dave

| April 20, 2007 11:32 PM

I found another glitch in the game. On the roof when you're first there, if you get the hammer, go down the ladder, then to the screen with the padlocked door on it and click the hammaer before the talk bubble pops up, the hammer will not be usable and it will stay as your cursor. It wan't bad since it was early in the game, but it's still a glitch..

Posted by: Gryphon | April 20, 2007 11:38 PM

Is there a way to save this game because I seem to be having a lot of trouble with the water pipe.

Posted by: ***N.J. E$HA***

| April 20, 2007 11:47 PM

Does anyone know how to

break the water pipe?

If you do please answer I really want to get out of here!!!

Posted by: ***N.J. E$HA***

| April 20, 2007 11:49 PM

NJ, you just spoiled the fact that I had to

break the water pipe

.
To answer your question:

use the hammer.

Despite one or two trials of random clicking-everything-on-everything-else, I finally managed to make my way through the last installment of this extraordinary voyage. Next, I'll play them all through, one after the other, and experience the entire Submachine.

I thoroughly enjoyed this refreshing alternative to waking up in a nondescript room with no plot point other than "I must get out". Then again, Submachine is more along the lines of "unravel the mystery" than "escape the room".

Is it just me or is this walkthrough not that helpful?
"On the same floor as the trashcan, in the room to the right of the stairs, attached a charged coil to the machine and turn the bottom screw." What charged coil? I can't find one. I appriciate the fact that it leaves room for us to figure stuff out - but isn't the point of a walkthrough to figure stuff out for us?

Posted by: itsjustme | April 21, 2007 8:00 AM

itsjustme: that walkthrough isn't for getting through the game, it's for finding all the little blue "Secrets." If you want a game walkthrough, open the game itself again in another window and click "Walkthrough" from the main menu. This will open a page with a link to a full game walkthrough.

Posted by: Neddo

| April 21, 2007 8:49 AM

I'm stuck! Thought I could get through it with no help as I did last time, but I'm too weak...

I have got:

hammer, napthalene, rubber tube, lighter, soap, gas handle, beaker, notes (with co-ordinates from helpful computer pal), CD, irontrioxide and 5/21 secrets

Maybe a few hints about what to do with the objects would be appreciated? Just for those of us who are too weak to go on...

So so great to have the next Submachine game out - couldn't believe my luck when I saw it here!

that you can walk right when you're up the ladder with the test tubes!!!

And that walkthrough on the game's site could be useful for those of us who are feeling a few sandwiches short of a picnic... Thank you Neddo!

I saw Sub4 first (FIRST!) at Lazy yesterday so I dove in. I knew it wouldn't be long before Jay caught on.
I finished it in about 4 to 5 hours, only 1 leetle hint, 22/21, and loved the music and the special ending, very personal. I like the cat. :o)

The coolest thing is that I'm able to download all 5 Sub games to my PC! Not many free flash games offer that opportunity.

Who else besides me keeps saying Submarine instead of Submachine?

After playing for some time I found myself stuck. I opened the walkthrough and read the following lines:

The Basement (Revisited)
1. Go to the room with a pedestal and the laser beam that has been bent. Place the orb on the pedestal. After it breaks, collect the chest key. Go back to portal. Type 5 - 5 - 1.

After trying to do that nothing happened. Any idea of where the problem might be?

Posted by: Igrici | April 21, 2007 11:04 AM

ack... i can't seem to be able to fill up the beaker, so i can't take it back either.. even when i follow step by step the walkthrough.. anything i missed?!?

Posted by: Rose | April 21, 2007 11:06 AM

Well i think i have managed to find 23 secrets!

I had missed the one you had to use the hammer with!however had 22 3 minutes ago before i saw that comment on here! weird...

Why would he put more than he says? its just weird! oh well

Have to say, my favourate game yet, it puts in all the bits of the other ones which i loved. Cool music mized with lots of thinking. Although i feel this is easier than sub_2, is this just me? i thought sub_2 was quite difficult to do in the wrong order! (i know that sounds crazy but in sub_4 you are able to go to any room and then revisit it once you know what was there)

I will eagerly await sub_5!!

Where is the

gas handle?

The walkthrough isn't hugely clear about where to get it and I presume it's important for mixing the chemicals.

Posted by: Zelie | April 21, 2007 11:28 AM

Igrici

the beam should be bend to the right by the cd which you collect in the lab area off a table. do you have the cd? do you have the orb?

Rose

do you have the valve from outside? you need this to be able to fill it up.

The walkthrough says to use

104

in the portal. Where in the game does that come from?

Posted by: jboy | April 21, 2007 11:42 AM

i'm doing fairly well here, but how do you change the direction of the telescope? I can just get the corner of a building! HELP!

Posted by: MedicGal | April 21, 2007 11:48 AM

Posted by: Rose | April 21, 2007 12:05 PM

Look at the last piece of your diary... there is a machine, im sure if you have got this far you can work it out! lol and its quite nice what he added!

Posted by: kirsty1688

Thanks Kirsty...what a cool way to involve you in the game and add a more personal touch to it. I love SubMachine games...can't wait for another! They are so fun!

aaaahhh.. finally.. :D

once again, a beautiful piece of art.. thanks! and waiting for the next one to stop sleeping again.. :)

Posted by: Rose | April 21, 2007 12:24 PM

Man, I love Submachine!! I have to admit I was really hoping for a better plot resolution than

simply another "it was all just a dream/video game/job application"

but, these are still really cool :)

I sure hope there is a Sub_5!!

i was asking myself the same thing spartan was. the gate near the first machine we find, it's always closed?

Posted by: diego floor | April 21, 2007 3:47 PM

Walkthrough for anyone REALLY stuck. This is so simple, only look if you stuck! Complete!

On the roof

Follow the instructions

Inside

• Get the Naphthalene from inside the coat pocket
• Go right and collect rubber tube (top right of chimney)
• Go right and collect chimney brush and secret (1) on chair
• Go back onto the roof and put chimney brush down the chimney
• Go inside and collect key which has come out of the chimney
• Collect gold key from hooks above the draws
• Go right and collect Gas handle from under the table
• Open door and go down one. Collect secret (2) in right corner on floor.

The Lab

• Go right 2 and collect lighter of windowsill
• Go left to computer. Click on screen and click on green button. Read what Mur has to say. He will print you a piece of diary for you once you have finished talking to him.
• Collect secret (3) by bin.
• Go down collect beaker and carry on down.
• Collect 2 pieces of diary off table you see and secret (4) under table on the fallen over chair.
• Go right collect CD. Go all the way to the left to the bathroom. Collect soap and secret (5) under the piping on left.
• Go right 3 and up the ladders. Collect second test tube with pink stuff (iron trioxide). Go right (try clicking the floor!) and collect screwdriver. Collect secret (6) behind pipe in right corner.
• Now go back outside onto the roof. Go to the left and unscrew the screw holding the valve. Take the valve and come back to the bathroom.
• Place the valve on the circle on the pipe on the left. Use the hammer to break off the cap on the pip running along the top of the screen. Place the beaker on the grill. Turn the valve and this will fill the beaker up for you.
• Pick the beaker back up and take it to where you got the screwdriver from, up the ladder. Connect the rubber tube to the yellow pipe, and the gas handle to the other hole.
• Click the gas handle which will make it turn, and the handle on the Bunsen burner (it is what I called it in school, sorry if that is incorrect). Use the lighter to light the burner.
• Place the beaker on top and place in the soap, iron trioxide and naphthalene (in that order, it wont let you put them in any other way), and take it back off, should look white. Pick up the empty test tube too.
• Go back down and to the room on the right, use the key to open it. Use the acidioxide on the metal box connected to wires on the wall. It would break and the metal wall at the side will go up. Just before you leave the lab, fill the test tube up like you did with the beaker in the bathroom, and click the bell.
• Pick up your 4th piece of diary. Now if you look at the first piece of diary you will see coordinates. I found going in order worked quite well! So lets go to (1,0,4) by putting it in the transporter!

Ancient Section

• Go right and down. You will see a strange stone with leavers. This controls boxes opening to collect things like the one you saw before you came down. For example ‘/’ +‘\’ = X which gives you a blockade. Do this 3 more times (to collect tiles B and D, and a stone key) THEN put them all down.
• To the right of the leavers, collect secret (7) in the rocks on the left. To the left of the leavers collect the knife and click the bell.
• Go up to where you can see a square and circular hole and put the blockade and stone key in here. This will bring down some stairs. Go up 1 and break the square under the horse looking thing with your hammer for secret (8).
• Go up and if all the leavers are down you should see tile C. Go up the stone pillar, cut the rope with the knife. Go back down to the leavers and collect tile A.
• Go down to the dog, collect secret (9) in the dogs eye and put the tiles in the wall. Click the button in the middle. This will bring down a set of stairs on the screen where you started with the transmitter.
• Go up these steps to collect the coil out of the machine with the red dot. Go right to collect a piece of diary. You cant do anything else up there yet.
• Lets go to the looping traps, (6,9,0)

Looping Traps

• This is very similar to an idea on one of the levels in sub_3 the loop. You have to put the coordinates of the strange circle things on poles in, press the bottom button, go find them and press the red button! Do this 4 times for all pole things.
• Go to the big square thing left and up of the transporter, click the screen once all lights are white and collect the orb. Collect diary (right and down of transporter) and secret (10) (left of diary, in the corner on the floor).
• Lets go to (5,2,9)

Basement Section

• Go right 2, place coil in “charger” and charge it by clicking the dial thing. Collect secret (11) form the wall in the unused socket.
• Collect coil and go left, down, right. Place the coil in this machine and flick the switch. Recharge the coil in the same way and the go left instead and do the same with that machine. Collect diary and coil.
• Go to the machine in the middle of these two rooms and both lights should be green. Flick the dial thing and a beam should come out of it. Collect secret (12) from under neither the pipe just to the right of the machine.
• Go up 2 and place the CD in the arm. This should bend the beam.
• Go into the room to the right, place the orb on top of the podium. It should break giving you a chestkey. Also take diary from here.
• Make sure the coil is recharged before leaving here.
• On the piece of diary you got from the top room, it give you the coordinates, (5,5,1) the brick room, so go here.

Brick Room

• Collect secret (13) on the right.
• Go to the left, and collect diary and turn off the bubbles by pressing the top button.
• Lets go to (4,6,2) and the lighthouse digouts.

Lighthouse

• Go left and collect diary, go right and collect secret (14) under the first pipe piece on the floor.
• The fan to the right should have stopped, use the hammer (4 times) to break it and open the front to receive the fan.
• Lets go to (7,7,0) the tomb.

The Tomb

• Collect piece of diary.
• On the right wall are 3 shapes. The amount of sides correspond to the location although circle (or zero) is 0. Go to (0,4,3).

Tomb 2
• Go to the left, pick up diary piece and secret (15) on the left wall on the floor.
• Click bell.
• Pour water out of test tube onto the light dome thing, and collect sceptre when it comes out.
• Now were going to the ship, (8,0,0)

The Ship

• In the dark you can see a lamp, light it with your lighter. Go right, open the compartment with your screwdriver and cut the wires with your knife and take secret (16).
• Click bell and collect secret (17) from the bottom of the pipe with the lamp on next to the transporter.
• Go left and collect diary. There should be ladders now, go up and light the lamp like previously.
• Go up again, and collect secret (18) from bottom left side of the pipe.
• Place the fan piece in here and close the screen.
• Go down and press the button. The wall should go up.
• Use the chest key to open the box and take out an arm.

Revisiting

• Go back to the Lab (0,0,1).
• Go up to the level with the computer on. Go to the strange machine which we haven’t used yet. Place the coil in here and press the bottom screw.
• Collect secret (19)
• Collect coil back.
• Go to (4,6,2)
• Go right and collect (20)

End

• First, go to the lucky room mentioned in the last piece of diary (7,2,8)
• On the left speaker collect secret (21).
• Then go back to the ancient section (1,0,4)
• Go up and place charged coil into the holder you got it from.
• Go left and turn on the light.
• Look into the telescope. You should see new coordinates (4,5,2)
• Go here and place the sceptre and arm onto the statue.
• Now you have finished!
• If you go to the right you will see secret (22).

If you go back to the lucky room (7,2,8) and place all the secrets into the machine it will open the wall next to you!!

What i want to know is

what is with the door when you first find the teleporter? as far as i know you can not get to it!

Posted by: kirsty1688

I LOVE the game, but at the end,

in the original lab, there's a grate that is still down, with an open door behind it.

Is this just a carrot on a stick to keep us waiting, or is it supposed to do something?

Posted by: Jax | April 21, 2007 3:52 PM

ohhhh no i was playing the game and i acidently close the window and i was like NOOOOOOOOOOO

Posted by: lewis | April 21, 2007 3:54 PM

Oh noes!!!!

Heh, that stinks. I know the feeling.
Yes Kirsty, Sub2 was much harder. That kinda annoys me when it's so hard you have to start getting hints around 30% through, and then just solid walkthrough from 50% - 60% onward.

Sub4 was perfect for me. The best part of it was the familiar yet different machines & motifs. It was cool to think "Oh, I'm back HERE....but...". Neat trick. It's used in drama & comedy writing a lot. To see it used in visual/gaming form is a treat.

Did anyone read Spartan Fury's comment? we have some unanswered questions: Theres that second gate, the 22/21 or 23/21 secrets,and I dont know if anyone payed any attention to it, but theres a closed window on the roof. The notes also mention an upper deck of the ship.

I completed it and cussed myself off when i didn't get 21/21 secret items xD.

Posted by: Fummy | April 21, 2007 10:45 PM

Does anyone know what the bonus is? I wish I collected all 21 secrets!!!!! I am so mad at myself right now!!!!! Maybe I'll start over, if anyone does know I would like to know.

Posted by: ***N.J. E$HA*** | April 22, 2007 12:11 AM

This really didn't give us any more answers to what's going on than any of the others. I still don't understand what the "Submachine" really is.

it's juz some insight into the creator's life :p

did you see the ending? 'cuz by the looks of it, the next one will involve working at the Lab. that door must have something to do with our new job ;)

| April 22, 2007 8:57 AM

aaarrggghhh, I just need one more secret! and I just realised,

Its the one wheich I need the chargedcoild for :'( I've already finished the game, so I can't go back and get it, can I?

oh wait, I went and revisited

the ancient section and: YAY! I can go back and retrive my charged coil! happy days, now to find the last secret and get that bonus!

Posted by: reapaninja

| April 22, 2007 9:04 AM

My sister and I beat it last night, interesting how she's a not a gamer but shows up when a new Submachine or Gateway comes out.

Anyways, I loved it. It had some puzzles or clues (Like the Circle Square Triangle) that when you figure it out, you're just like "A-ha!"

I also enjoyed seeing what inspires him. If you didn't get all 21 secrets the first time around, I'd reccomend replaying.

Posted by: Elliott | April 22, 2007 9:05 AM

Oh, and I think the door is just kind of to goat you into thinking that's where it ends, and the window on the roof is...maybe where you came from? Oh, and to complete the game you go to the upper deck.

See you for Sub5: The root!

Posted by: Elliott | April 22, 2007 9:13 AM

I can see secret 23 but have no way to get it.

Look through the telescope on the right side in the Ancient Section (104), there it is, on the red brick wall. I suspect there is something to do with the floating stones on the very left side in Lighthouse Digouts (462).

Posted by: bwansy | April 22, 2007 11:26 AM

I wonder if there are any other portal places that you can only find by guessing numbers? I'll check.

Posted by: lopsidation | April 22, 2007 12:04 PM

23 secrets? As far as I remember I only found 22 secrets ^^

bwansy, I'm thinking about those floating stones too. Also,

there is another grating after you unlock the first grating at the Lab to get to the teleporter thingie, and there's a door behind it. How do I unlock it? Where does that door lead to?

Beat with 22/21! :D
I did need to use a walkthrough to find the 22nd secret and when I got stuck in the first tomb, though.
Mateusz Skutnik, I love your games!!! :D

| April 22, 2007 1:55 PM

This was a great game. I started all over collecting all 21 secrets, but there are still some things that haven't been answered yet. I guess that means there will be another submachine!!! Can't wait!!!!!!!

Posted by: ***N.J. E$HA***

| April 22, 2007 2:01 PM

Uh, I thought Mur said he'd reveal all the answers in this one...?

j/k, I did learn a lot. Except about the mystery of the cat, the fate of Murtaugh himself, and why the heck I didn't find anyone in the submachine network. But I did get a few questions answered.

I look forward to Submachine 5. Is it really going to be called "The Root," or did you just make that up?

Posted by: Sylocat | April 22, 2007 3:38 PM

I'm really too stupid.

How do you get the cords from the notes?

And please I just did not understand the hints "if you made this far, you can figure out yourself".

To fuzzygrid,

When you enter the lab you will see this computer type thing, its green. Click on the green button on it then M will print the codes for you.

are these submachines getting easier, or am i just getting better at them?

Posted by: Eman Roy | April 22, 2007 11:32 PM

Where did you find all the codes? (except the 551 that was given in the notes) I found my way throughout thanks to the walkthrough, I couldn't find any hint to the codes in each location

Posted by: Billerr | April 23, 2007 9:48 AM

I solved the game (with an extra secret to boot), but still haven't figured out if there is something about:

1. Weird ladderish holes in the wall in the ancient sector which seemingly go into the floor

2. Yet some more weird holes in the room left of the four cubes - the one with the encircled triangle symbol

3. The second looking glass which just shows top of a red brick wall

4. Those strange three white-dotted windows on the ship which show absolutely nothing

And finally,

5. The exit door behind bars to the right of the very first teleporter.

Did anybody find anything related to those things? Or are they all just red herrings?

Play 1,2,3, and zero first. Then play this one. It's by far the best one yet, and perhaps the perfect finish. What a great sense of completion. A journey that has actually come to an end. I think the "feeling lucky" room has something to do with it.

Posted by: Alexi | April 23, 2007 11:09 AM

I also got the 22nd secret :)

If you put the final secret into the secret machine you end up with a "0/-1 secrets" object :D a bug i guess... unless you can use it to do something very douglas adams ;) (Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy - having no tea and tea at the same time!)

| April 23, 2007 1:01 PM

Is anyone else getting bugs when playing this game? I've tried at least four times now, on two different computers, and I've had to stop each time because I get an object "stuck" on my cursor: it's selcted but I can't use it, put it down or move at all. This has happened at least twice at the bunsen burner.

Posted by: Lane | April 23, 2007 3:23 PM

bravo! this is the best online game i have ever played. i thought submachine 3 kicked butt but this blows all games away.

Posted by: jason novaco | April 23, 2007 4:56 PM

found a mistake in the walkthrough

THE SHIP (880) the room number is 800 not 880. that made me mess up like hell... lol...

Alright, another Submachine!

Great game. I think 3 is still my favorite. This series is excellent.

Posted by: Keith

| April 23, 2007 6:17 PM

Wow this was a great game, but I was wondering about all the little things that never finished, like what baba said. I guess it will come up one day.

Btw I had a problem with the 22nd secret. I had put up to 8 in and I forgot to get it, but when I went to it wasn't where the walkthrough had said... maybe its just me. :P

Posted by: Zarrock | April 23, 2007 6:50 PM

I've gotten items stuck on my cursor and had to restart the game twice, but otherwise it's a good addition!

Posted by: Vida

| April 23, 2007 7:13 PM

There's a little bug near the beginning of the game:

If you use the screwdriver to loosen the wheel on the roof and leave the screen without taking the wheel (I didn't realize I could take it; I thought it was a switch for something in the house), when you come back to that screen the wheel reverts to its original position and the screwdriver no longer works on it.

This was a great game, and after i beat the game, (as i always do) i looked at the walkthrough to see how much time i would've saved, and it turns out....A LOT! i ended up with -2/21 :P i won't post any spoilers as to how that happened though.

Posted by: MikeOfTheFallenWisdom | April 24, 2007 4:45 AM

I did not make up the root. If you go to his message board, and read the Sub4 thread you'll see someone point out there used to be a thread about it.

Posted by: Elliott | April 24, 2007 10:26 AM

A great game and also found the 21 secrets went into the bonus room ^^ was actually good stuff not excellent but it's very interesting too :]well do you think this is actually the end ?! :p

Posted by: chai | July 21, 2007 5:43 PM

WOOHOO!!! beat with 22/21 secrets!! 22! here's how:

when you get to the ending room, go right. secret(21) is in the bottom right corner of the room. enter 728 into the portal. press the grey button to teleport to the Lucky Room. secret(22) is in the top left corner of the room. go right, and put all 22/21 secrets into the machine. if you put less then 22 secrets into the machine, the metal bars won't go up. go to the right if they DO lift up.there are 4 rooms.each one has a camera in it. if you look through any one of these cameras, there will be a secret extra.when you want to leave the Lucky Room, go all the way to the left (you should be at the portal). enter 596 into the portal and press the grey button. you will be back in the ending room.go left twice.click the lever. you will be back at the main menu. YOU WIN!!!!!!!! =D

if i messed up something on that spoiler, sorry, and please tell me on a comment. =) also, i would like it if someone left a nice comment. =)

first get all the stuff you need to get to the portal in the lab(with the CD).Now type 595 into the portal.Click the note in the room,click it again and go to the room to the left,then click button.Now start a new game and WHAT?????You start out with the CD.If you like, do this over and over again until you get a gazilion CDs.Enjoy the glitch!

Where do I find the coil you need at the basement?

Posted by: lizzy | August 2, 2007 5:59 AM

Lizzy:
You find the coil in the ancient section above the portal.To get the brick ladder, you need to make the button appear at the room with the dog statue(all the way at the bottom).To do that,you must find the A,B,C and D tiles and place them in the slot.

Posted by: Soren | August 2, 2007 5:32 PM

I loved this game. This one was truly a challenge. I needed walk throughs more than I'd like to admit. Usually, I only get stuck once but this time I was stuck practically THE ENTIRE GAME.

Keep up the good work!

How are these games created? What softwares and programming languages? I'd love to try to create my own simple point and click games.

Posted by: Que | August 3, 2007 8:28 PM

well,i finished it, found all the secrets and it's worth the searching, you need a charged coil for on of the secrets, all i say. I'm glad i found them all, there's some really interesting info

Posted by: Looking for coil | August 24, 2007 3:05 PM

believe me.. if you're interested only in playing.. just don't look for the secrets.. but if you're fascinated with Mateusz's work.. then

remember to look on the right corner in the last room -the white one- where there is the portal.. you'll find the last secret..

Posted by: camo | August 26, 2007 3:36 PM

I can't move left after

I put the soap, purple liquid and white balls in the beaker

Posted by: Jenny | August 27, 2007 2:13 PM

Deeptoot: The valve is on the roof tied with a screw
Looking for coil: The coil is somewhere hidden in the Ancient Section.
Jenny: To move left from that place you must click on the floor to the left.

Posted by: Soren | August 28, 2007 9:38 AM

woow! woooow!! WOOOOOW!!!
I just finished Submachine 4. Woooow! I played them all, I was a little angry that the 3 was made that way, but after I finished it, I realized that I like it very much!
Perhaps some of you are not as delighted as I am, but let me explain: my first escape game was The Bar (2-3 months ago), I got hooked immediately. These games are awesome!
And thanks to all brave and smart people for posting comments! I would never get through the last Submachine without them.
Byeeee

Posted by: Lala | August 29, 2007 10:16 AM

I simply love the submachine series (probably all the people who have commented here like it too), but this one was a surprise. When I got through the first location (the lab), I thought: "Wow! Now that was easy!". Twenty minutes of point-and-clicking later, I realized how complex the game was. Congratulations, Skutnik!

on the top room you'll see a tile with a string. Cut the string with ur knife and voila... heres the missing tile

Posted by: sub rules | September 17, 2007 11:04 AM

I got all the secrets without help, but I wasn't so lucky on the main game.

I didn't know I could put the beaker on the grate, or that you could cut the wires behind the panel on the first floor of the ship (I didn't even know they were wires, I just thought they were lines on the wall.) I also didn't realize the shapes on the wall were coordinates. I couldn't figure out you had to put the water on the glowing lump, either. Other than that, I found everything myself. Woo-hoo!

Posted by: greybob | September 23, 2007 7:30 PM

Wow! Just finished it. That was a totally excellent game and very well made ... perhaps the best browser-based P and C adventure I've seen. This was the first of the Submachine series I've played though. Can't wait to check out the others now.

Posted by: Dewed | October 11, 2007 4:04 PM

I really love this game but for some reason I'm having trouble placing the orb on the pillar in section 529? Where exactly is is supposed to be placed? I've tried all around the room.

Thanks

Posted by: 47 | October 15, 2007 4:53 PM

to get back to the first room use 001 in the teleport machine.

Posted by: aynotrackle | October 23, 2007 11:12 AM

In The Ship section I

pressed the handle down before I realised the wires had to be cut!! Now the ladder won't come down!

i have looked everywhere

thanks mate

Posted by: callumjr

| December 21, 2007 4:23 AM

About the 3 shapes in the tomb trap

Like hint fairy said : "Think about corners"

It means -
Circle - Has no sides , so its '0'
Square - Has 4 Sides , so its '4'
Triangle - Has 3 Sides , so its '3'
Put them together and it means - 043

Try not to read the spoiler , unless your desperate and REALLY don't know the code..

Posted by: Goukakyuu | December 26, 2007 10:10 PM

Walkthrough for lighthouse digouts-

Go all the way right , you will see a turbine spinning in the thing , you can't get it , so , go left to the portal and put in

551

.Now , go left and check out the thing , see the buttons near the bottom right of the pipes ? Click the top one and the should stop , if it doesn't , try the bottom one..Next , go back to the lighthouse digouts and check out the turbine again ,Next,

use the hammer and hit the padlock 4 times , open the thing and...YOU GOT THE TURBINE xD.

Posted by: Goukakyuu | December 26, 2007 10:19 PM

Justine: We have finished it without the walkthrough it was so easy peasy but it was not worth playing because of the ending (you'll be surprised!)

Jasmine: Yeah... she was right... you know it takes hours just to finish that stupid game... It was a piece of crap... I hope that there will be a submachine 5... and hoping that will be the real ending... this game really get me so crazy...

Posted by: Marbles the Cat | February 4, 2008 8:16 PM

The "make your own note" function, and the note from sunshine_bunnygirl7, made me spend half an hour trying to figure out how to leave my own note for others to find, before I realized that wasn't possible. I felt kind of silly. ^_^;

In case anyone wants to read it, here's the in-character note I'd have left:

That day so long ago began like any other day. When I got up that morning, I never dreamed that by the next day I'd find myself crossing dimensions searching for the trail left by an enigmatic psychic.
That day, I stumbled into what I later learned was called a Submachine, and found a diary written by someone called Murtaugh. A man who described a way of moving between worlds, across dimensions. I was just another person then, one who didn't believe in such nonsense. How naïve of me.
I don't know how much time has passed since then. Time and space seem to flow differently inside the Submachine net. But all I know is that after all my travels, I have finally reached location 0,0,0. I know that the answers I've been searching are here, I can feel it. I'm not surprised to find the lab protected by security measures, but after all I've gotten past to get this far, I will not let a few more tricks stop me.

Just a little in-character roleplay I dreamt up. ^_^;

pulze101,

you have to use the screwdriver on the valve on the roof, then put the valve on the other hole on that pipe. Put the beaker on the floor grate, knock off the pipe, then turn the valve.

Just started the submachine series tonight, and i finished the first 4! i need some sleep now, but i will conquer 5 tomorrow!!!

getting the screwdriver

up the ladder when you get the purple tube of irontrioxide click on the very right corner of the floor and you will go over to a table with the screwdriver on it

Posted by: Anonymous | April 27, 2008 10:00 PM

In case anybody cares, there is a way to get 22 out of 21 secrets. The walkthrough at the top of this page tells you where 21 of them are. The 22nd is in

the ancient section. There should be a statue of a horse close to the portal. It's really obvious. It has some cracks in the middle so use your hammer to break it. A secret is waiting for you.

The secret count reads 22/21 if you get them all. After you turn 21 of them in, the 'secret' item disappears like normal. If you turn 21 of them in first AND THEN get the last secret, it says you have 1/0 secrets. You can turn this last secret in if you want. It will make the ding noise like normal and now you have 0/-1 secrets. This doesn't open up anything else special, as far as I know. i just like walking around with 0/-1 secrets.

Posted by: Mr. Green | June 5, 2008 8:02 PM

but I have a question... Do you know how to open de bars (??) in the lab (001). The bars are situated at the right of the portal... If you click there, you see a door but you can't "reach" it... It is a secret room or anyting else???

The grates in the lab at the right of the teleporter , im GUESSING its the exit of the lab , if it was open , well , then u can escape from the lab forever and never have these 'dreams' 'games' and stuff ever again >_> . My theory that the exit is even there is that every house/lab/factory/etc.. should have an exit.

| August 9, 2008 4:29 AM

@ JIGuest

In the lab there is a computer , look at the computer and communicate with the guy using the green button (it will type out some URL i think) , the guy will be like "you're at the lab?' 'and u dun have a keyboard???' , well , just keep pressing the green button until he says hes .. er .. sending the coordinates to u , HES FAXING IT >:O

Slyocat, if you were paying attention to the end, it said that you were accepted a job at the lab. I guess that Murtaugh was the one who hired you. *Shrugs* Well that explains everything. One other thing, I have become an offical Submachine fan!:)

Suffers from the standard problem of all point-and-click games. You can only solve puzzles ONE way. There's no chance to do creative problem-solving, as you can in the real world.

I like the note thing where you can make your own. : ) Heres one I made up, and also, sylocat, I like yours.;) Warning,mines is long.

It has been so long since I was waking up on that fateful morning. When I saw a weird looking thing, I decided to play around with it. Now I find myself in a world that contains puzzles. I wish that I left the portal alone. I don't know the coordinates back home now. I have discovered notes that talk about a man with one arm that can travel through dimensions. Long ago, I would have thought that the man was just mad.Just like what he said in that note, 'It would be like talking about the possibilty of space travling to a goldfish'. Now, I'm changed. Mur is the only person who can help me now. Hes the only hope I have now, and I know I must keep moving no matter what. These machine won't stop me!

0 out of -1 secrets? is that possible? lol nice games though, i found the random puzzles tricky, especially using water on a glowing bubble to get a key? weird...

I loved it.

I am addicted room escape puzzles and I only just now discovered the submachine series! They are by far the best.

Thank you for these games.

Hey, Jay, I'm replaying my way through the series and can't get #4 open in the Arcade Town window. Is there another place to play this one?

[Edit: Thanks Sarah! Link fixed. :) -Jay]

Hey! Great Game! I have solved Submachine Zero, One, Two and Three...and now, Four!
Yay I'm so happy I solved the game! The creator is really brilliant! Thanks for the walkthrough! :D

heehee, actually I used hints for all the submachine games ;P but some parts which were commonsensical of course I just used logic :)

I can not figure out how to put the orb on the pillar, and it is driving me crazy! Am I doing something wrong? I've read through this whole recap, and it's driving me crazy, because I've literally done everything in this game except get the orb on that pillar! Anyone have a tip for placing it on the pillar?

........
AWESOME
Best P&C game ever! (if there is a better one I would like to know)

Incidentally, there is an open door behind the bars next to the teleporter in 001.

???What is it???

In the level The Ship (800), step 23 should be Go Right, not Go Left.

Otherwise, fantastic walkthrough.
