Comments (may contain spoilers)

Good game,I took 5 hours to finish the game but it was worth it,plus,i took 1 of the 5 hours to get all 22/21 secrets.

Posted by: Ryan | June 9, 2007 10:06 AM

I must be blind.
Where is the screwdriver?

Posted by: Anonymous | June 9, 2007 11:37 PM

I still don't get it.

I got to the lighthouse dugouts or whatever but now I am stuck. I have whacked the padlock, the loop on the padlock, the keyhole, and the place on the door it locks to but I can't get it open.

I would appreciate some help.

Posted by: Anonymous | June 10, 2007 5:38 PM

what is with the # 32 its in all (but 3&1) games.

Posted by: matt | June 11, 2007 5:00 PM

Here's how to get the turbine:

You get water by using the test tube that you left be the burner. Then you justuse it like you used the beaker. You open thepipe (the one with the turbine) by hitting it 4 times. But first you must go to the second 'Red room' ( 551). Then go to the left and press the button you see dangling from the ceiling. This stops the water flow as well as the turbine's spinning. Now you can open the pipe and get the turbine.

Hey agian! I don't know about you all but I've been hunting EVERYWHERE for a site that tells you where the secrets are w/o all the other junk. I couldn't find it so I thought I'd just do the bet I could on my own.

- At the lab in the attic by the chimney there is a chair. It is on the cushion.
- Go down a floor from the attic. It is in the bottom right corner.
-Go down another floor and go left. You will see a green computer. Look just to the left of the trash can.
- Go down 2 more floors. It is under the fallen chair.
- Go into the bathroom (far left of the same floor) It is just left of the pipes to the left.
In the 'Ancient Section' ( 104)
- Go all the way down until you see a dog statue. The secret is it's eye.
- Go up on the wooden ladder. You will see a stone horse. Under it is a fragile-looking square of stone. Break it with you hammer and the secret is inside
- To the left of the switch-panel area (you will see the + panel) there is a pile of rocks. It is hidden in the rocks.
At the 'Looping Traps' (690)
- Directly below the chamber you start in ( you must reach it by going over down and over again.) It is on the floor, right next to the right door-post.
At the 'Basement Section' (529)
- Go to the far left of the staring room. It is in the outlet (right below the plug for the coil-charger).
- In the laser room ( bottom center) it is hidden just between the right wire and the laser machine.
In the 'Lighthouse Digouts' (462)
- Go right. You will see a pipe. It is just a little to the right of it on the ground.
- If you have raised all of the cubes ( done by ringing the bells) a panel will be open. It is just inside

Sorry for taking up so much time and space/ also not finishing. If you want me to continue Let me know but now I've got to be somewhere. ( im' already ;ate!@)

anyone else not able to open the door with the key at the beginning?

Posted by: Anonymous | June 24, 2007 8:51 PM

To: Anonymous.... To get the right key for the door: go to the right, to the furthest room....On the far right of the room, on the floor, there is a sort of gray-looking bottle brush with a little ring attached. Go back up on the roof, stick the brush down the chimney. Go back inside to the chimney; you'll find the key you need. Ta,ta.........Posted by: Wayne's World......

Posted by: Ryan | July 7, 2007 9:52 AM

I've a problem, and I don't know why is it caused.

in the tomb trap, I enter coordinates I find on the wall, and flashplayer goes half-frozen, and I can't complete the game.

389

Posted by: bunnyboy767 | July 14, 2007 8:55 PM

Bunnyboy,

Finding the 10 secrets out of nowhere was a glitch because it did not happen on my computer. Plus the numbers that you gave me did NOT open the gates near the portal
(check them because I think you made an error).

Posted by: Soren | July 16, 2007 5:39 PM

WOW.....WOW........WOW!!!!..........WHAT A GAME HAD A GALA TIME jumping from door to door, ladders to ladders..........and the end alas i didn't know that pressing

596

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.

I can't get the soap and stuff in the beaker

Posted by: Jessie XX | August 9, 2007 4:40 PM

I CANNOT get the beaker full in the lab.

I placed it on the floor and turned turned the valve,

but it won't fill! So, now I'm stuck, and I can't pick the beaker back up! Help!

Posted by: RoRo | August 12, 2007 6:00 PM

Roro:
Use the hammer to knock off the thing on the pipe.
Jessie XX:You must put the full beaker on the "candle". Then put the objects in this order:soap,irontrioxide, naphthalene.

I hope every one knows theres 22/21 secrets in this game hard to find but i managed.

Posted by: JM | August 24, 2007 12:15 PM

help!! Where is the coil in the basement?

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!

Posted by: Crocker | August 29, 2007 9:39 PM

ive found 3 tiles already in the ancient section but i cant find the 4th one please help!!

Posted by: l_t_d | September 11, 2007 1:25 PM

l_t_d

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: e | October 15, 2007 2:47 PM

really fun game. hopefully he'll make another one

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!

How do I carry on??

Posted by: vogonviking | October 28, 2007 6:49 PM

I love this game! very smart! especially how they all like together! would love for another one to come out!! xxx kay xxx

Posted by: ***Kay*** | November 17, 2007 7:56 AM

Well, I found 21/21 secrets and cat find the 22nd on in the white room. Anyone have any ideas?

Posted by: MissingNo_Master | November 21, 2007 3:44 PM

I love this game. Best!

Posted by: V | November 22, 2007 10:11 AM

I was wondering, in the tomb trap section, 770 i think, there is a circle, square and triangle on the right side, half way up the wall. Is this significant in any way, or no?

Posted by: Tornado | November 30, 2007 4:30 PM

I'm stuck on 800, I don't have a chestkey and I can't figure out where to find it

Posted by: dustan | December 1, 2007 2:02 PM

oops, nevermind I found it

Posted by: Dustan | December 1, 2007 2:49 PM

Wheeee , I hear Mateusz Skutnik is working on Submachine 5 : The root =D=D=D=D=D

Posted by: Goukakyuu | December 4, 2007 7:33 PM

To Vogonviking - You must use these items to get to the ladder - Screwdriver (Lab) and Knife (Ancient Section).

Posted by: Anonymous | December 4, 2007 7:35 PM

I can't put the beaker on the candle... what's wrong?

Posted by: Queen | December 6, 2007 2:41 PM

tornado:

yes, it is significant.

notice there are three shapes

for three coordinates.

think about corners.

Posted by: hint fairy | December 8, 2007 2:17 PM

to: jess

i want to ask if u could post the rest of the secrets locations plz i reaally need them badly

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 12:32 AM

This is the best walkthrough you have EVER seen

use

your

head

Good Luck xDDDD

Posted by: Goukakyuu | December 26, 2007 6:47 AM

I was wondering , in the lab

on the right of the portal , there are some bars , if you look into the bars , you a half opened door , is there any purpose for this ?

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: Jasmine & Justine | December 28, 2007 4:12 PM

I wonder when the game

Submachine 5 : The Root

is coming???I'm very eager for it to come out xDDD
...I ask = WHEN IS IT COMING OUT !?!?!?!?! T_T...
Ive been waiting for it!!Another mind-bending game too spend much time thinking and finding out what to do !

Posted by: Goukakyuu | January 14, 2008 8:42 AM

mundofr, if you

use the 1/0 secret at the same place as using the 21/21 secrets you have

0/-1 secrets. (someone must have stolen it)

Posted by: ME | January 18, 2008 2:29 PM

Posted by: HELP | February 3, 2008 5:25 AM

I've made it all the way to the acidioxide in the lab without help, but I can't figure out what to do with it! Can someone please help?

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. ^_^;

i knocked off the pipe in the bathroom but nothings coming out

Posted by: pulze101 | February 25, 2008 4:31 PM

Submachine is the greatest game EVER

Posted by: Rankai | February 29, 2008 6:16 AM

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!!!

hopefully...

Posted by: Kegan | March 12, 2008 3:23 AM
