DayMare Town


JayDaymare TownJust a week following the release of Covert Front, Mateusz Skutnik is up to his shenanigans again. He writes to tell me of something "completely new and unforeseen," something different than anything to have come from him before.

Fade in: DayMare Town, a strange and oddly deserted town that gives the unsettling feeling that eyes are peering from around corners. It is a drab and dreary town, not a very pleasant place to be. But now you're stuck, and you'll do anything you can to leave.

The artwork in this game consists of sketches that create a much different atmosphere for a point-and-click game. Also, the difficulty has been kicked up a notch with the author claiming that DayMare Town is the hardest puzzle game he has made by far. It is for "advanced" point-and-click gamers, only.

You are hereby warned. Proceed at your own risk. Escape if you can. Play DayMare Town.

When does this guy stop? If I tried to make one of these games, it would take me a month trying to figure out how to make something clickable. And I can't get anywhere.

any one else playing this?
It's a cool game but I'm kinda stuck..

Hard!
I have a coin, cloth, screwdriver, lighter, book, and am officially stuck. Don't know what to do with any of them!
I have two of the Chinese puzzle blocks, and put them in place in the Town hall.

Oih. I have played like 2 hours and now I'm missing

one bird and one piece of puzzles

...

It is very nice and beautiful game and because I'm this far i won't give up now.

Doesn't anyone else play this, because it's so quiet in here? Or is there night in somewhere else? It's midday in Finland :) Sorry my bad english.

Help me if you can, thanks.:)

Lucky for me the TAB cheat works or I would of missed half the things that can be clicked.

I seem to have missed the secret puzzle!

I do have a key and nowhere to use it...

I think I'm doing alright. I've got all the puzzle pieces except the plain square one.

Unsure if this kind of stuff is meant to be in spoilers, but better safe than sorry. Anyone have any idea what the rock and scissors are meant to do or what the point of giving the golden egg to the little prisoner guy was?

Whew, thanks for the tip about the TAB cheat. That made things a bit easier, though they're still really hard.

Oop. Finished. I'm usually rubbish at these things.

Wow this one is great :)

I've managed to get relly far...

I only need

The last puzzle piece.
Anyone know where to find it? The plain square.

Anyone need help up to that point...?

How do I get

little fellow behind locked door free? yep, the door is now unlocked of course and now I see poor little thing in chain..

Davient, I recall getting the plain square this way: behind the picture of the house in one of the floors of the elevator, there is a "piece of paper". You gotta click on the stone that's on the table with the scissors to lift it, then put the "piece of paper" under it before it falls, and thus the stone will break (?!), inside it is the plain square. But I have trouble finding the square with the square-shaped hole... Can anyone tell me?

Scratch that

I found that last puzzle piece
Now completed the game :)

But there's more???

At the end of the game it says, "Oops! Looks like you forgot to solve the secret puzzle! Oh well"
If you want some ideas for the secret puzzle...

Birds, lots of birds all over the place... Maybe need to find them all?

Tribal face on the wall, goes ooooh, when you click his necklace.

Statue near tribal face.

Guy needs rescuing from his chains?

I love this game, but it's driving me nuts.

I need

The last puzzle piece, 1 more bird, how to lower the stairs, and how to open the locked door to the right of the mask...

I love Mateusz work, but he must be demented to come up with some of these things :)

that statue near the tribal face

those dots turn black with every bird you find. you need to find them all, i only have 2 to go

Oops! I completed the game before I wanted to.

I didn't complete the secret puzzle like I intended before I clicked on the way out. Hmph!

It took me a lot of hints, too. I don't think I would know what to do if I hadn't had any, but I always enjoy Skutnik's games.

Argh, I can't find the last square piece!
I've found loads of birdies though.

The secret puzzle:

You sure you want to know?

Find all of the birds to get the golden egg and give it to the prisoner.

For those of you looking for the last piece...

I'm guessing it'll be the puzzle I was stumped on...
You remember the rock that moves?

near some scissors

Reaux! Sham! Beaux!

Rock Paper Scissors


Paper beats rock :)

Help for those wanting to complete the secret puzzle...

As has been said find the birds

There's a nice pedestal hidden just off the yard that indicates how many birds you have found :)
It's near the groaning face :)

Where do you find

the paper for the rock,paper, scissors puzzle? I've tabbed and looked all over the game, and have yet to find it. If you could point me in the right area, I'd appreciate it!

BTW,

Is there a reason that you can turn the knobs on the faucet? I wasn't sure if it had a purpose or not since I haven't finished.

What do I have to do with the book?

jwm0429:

look behind one of the paintings, its rolled up and stuck there

Now, the last piece of the puzzle for me! Can anyone direct me?

can't find the second to last puzzle piece going from left to right, on the side of the stairs with the handle and machinery.
Also, what is the use for the cloth, the lighter, the screwdriver, and the coin? Are both of my answers the same thing?

hey...I can't find the last puzzle piece...with a hole but not a circle and not the triangle...and what is this passage with the "terrible smell"? cant figure out its use :(

jwm0429:
The piece of paper is in

the book house, i think it is on the 1st floor but i cant quite remember now, it could be on -1. it is rolled up and hard to see so look carefully

and can anyone help me?

i have the lighter, hook on string, small coin, the screwdriver, sinkmouth key and the small cloth. I need the last 2 puzzle pieces (the square with a square cut out of it and the one that looks like a reversed C. I am stuck on the box (in the second office on the right) and the passage with a terrible smell in the main square.

Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance ^^

piece of paper:

The paper is behind the right picture on the first floor in the book house

Kris,

Sink key goes in the office box.

After that, you're where I am.

I feel stupid..I can't find the groaning face. Or the bird-counter. I thought it was near the picture with the soldier..but..

You have just left Daymare Town...

what's the scary thing in the basement?

I just wanted to comment that the peice of paper shattering the rock is based on 'rock paper sicsors' where rock beats siscors, siscors beat paper, and paper beats rock.

It makes sense then, but if you're not thinking of that when you play the puzzle, it makes little sense.

wow corruptor... l2spoiler tag please.

The characters in this are very 'Tove Jansson'-like if you ask me.

Clemz, I love your walkthrough but I cannot for the life of me find

the bird you say is on floor 1 of the bookroom. I've tabbed and everything. No bird. I found all the others, but that one eludes me.

Tombot, you mean Moomin? If so, then I agree with you. I recall having seen something like the little black hairy guys in Moomins.

awesome!! Definitely no idea how you beat this without

using TAB to find the birds.

I don't think it was his hardest game in terms of puzzle difficulty, I just think it was his hardest in terms of pixel hunting. Of course once you start using TAB that difficulty goes away. If I had been using TAB from the beginning I don't think I would have needed a hint at all, but I suppose there's no way to know.
I hope the fact that

the little guy crosses the bridge to a new town

at the end of the game means that there will be a sequel! Style was very cool. No more bird hunts though please ;)

To get the plain square..

put the scroll under the rock, and the scroll will break the rock, revealing the plain square.. to get the scroll, its behind the picture of the house

Chrissy,

it's in the painting.

OKay, so i was tryin to get the guy that was locked up free so i clicked on him and heard his... gabble, so i thought he is saying something. i went to the voice recorder, recorded him, and slowed it down. guess what i heard :)

Haha it sounded like chewbacca from star wars XD

TAB key did not work on my system (IE7). This was a very nice game, but without TAB many of the little hotspots are just too hard to find.

Hi,
I think it's a lovely little game, even though
a) I'm not all that keen on point-and-click doodahs
b) I'll have to look at some of these spoilers later on to get any further.
I guessed the "scissor - stone - paper" connection, but still didn't figure it out.
Fiendish, but fun!
Greetings all round

He disabled it I assume, I'm happy bout that, didn't want to play until he did, so I'm off again :)
For me one of the best pnc I encountered ever, super-stylish.

Hmm. Whats the deal with the birds?

Almost got it all! Only needed help for the last puzzle piece, and the last bird. I can't believe that I didn't get the

key, that is behind the

stone in the yard.
I had a feeling that I was missing things on the very first screen

Ah, the TAB is gone now. Well, it was cheat anyway and I am glad its fixed.

Help! I've

gotten all the pieces in place and

given the little guy the egg,

and the bridge still won't lower. :/

Ratchet:

Did you make sure to push all the buttons so all the pedestals are in the down position? I believe one of them on the left pathway is already done.

This guy cannot disappoint me. Incredible.

His artwork is so ingrained in me now this game plays just as lucid as the Submachines. I like his rough drawing a lot because it's easier for him to hide things and create red herrings.

I tried without hints and finished, but without the secret. I couldn't release the captive. And I can only find 4 birds. (I didn't know there were more till I finished and read that post up there. Was that an egg in a skinny nest way up on top of a rooftop I saw from the captives' window?
That little critter sitting near the sink shocked me a bit. I didn't see him there during the short effort I made earlier this morning.

OMG, the first time I played it, there wasn't a man there. And now that i'm going back to it, it freaked me out. God, I nearly had a heart attack.

Wow, Mateusz really doesn't stop. He really can create wonderful point-and-clickers at an alarmingly fast rate.

However I must proceed in my grumpy manner. This game is one large pixel-hunt, made into extreme with the (otherwise really great and atmospheric) choice of artwork. Making progress in this game invariably means careful mouse-sweeping of each screen or using the TAB cheat (which for me sadly doesn't work).

Otherwise, a pretty enjoyable game, but for me pretty unplayable without a walkthrough. Kudos to people who like clicking every insignificant squibble on every screen, but I really don't have time for such a thing.

TAB CHEAT? Ok, I tried pressing TAB and nothing happens? Does it not work on a Mac?

Cool game though!

This man is incredible! I love all his "scape" games. The submachine series is superb.
!!!!Larga vida a Mateusz!!!!

i am stuck trying to get the paper to break the rock. did it last night but having problems today...it would be nice if you can save your progress... help!! what do i need to do?

Geez... whew I really like the rest of his games, but this one... ehhh... I dunno. Good game, just too much suspense/scaryness in it for me. yeah... You say nothing scary? well... for me...

As I explored the town, seeing the Librarian (the furry dude) in random places, then not seeing him when I clicked there kinda spooked me, and when I clicked the sink in the torture room in the armory after seeing him a few times, when the "dunnnnnn" sound went off and the librarian was sitting there in the corner, crud it scared the heck outta me... mainly because he wasn't there before

Although the fact that he killed the TAB key cheat was cool because most escape game designers don't do that, thus he made it a heck of a lot harder for someone like me. good game though. as I said, just not the kind of escape game I can play. I mean, what I explained in the spoiler sent shivers up and down my spine, something I'm not used to, nor like. meh.

Oh yeah, in case you want a hint as to what I said in in the spoiler without reading it, Fummy said it all

"I will send you back to the 0's and 1's you are made of!"

HEY SKUTNIK!!

Don't know if you're still reading these posts, but you probably are since you removed the TAB cheat. Just wanted to make a little clearer something I hinted at in my last post, in case you care: you claimed this was your hardest point-and-click to date. I contend that difficulty in finding where to click isn't "hard" per se, just tedious. Your Submachine puzzles were much more creative, although I think I enjoy the world you created for Daymare Town even more than the one for Submachine (which I wouldn't have thought possible at the time!)

Anyway, I think you're incredibly talented at coming up with really creative ways to fill a puzzle world, so please don't go down the path of pixel hunters and consider it an improvement.

Best regards, from a fan of yours!!

The sad thing is, folks who played with the TAB cheat got a much more satisfying experience. Was Skutnik's intention really to make the player carefully mouse-sweep each and every location? Because that's not "hard", that's pretty much my definition of "tedious".

But if Mateus really insists on pixel hunts, can there be at least an audio clue when a hotspot is near? Wind rising up, a squeak, whatever, just to make the searching process a little bit easier and less time-consuming.

regarding the tab cheat which everyone says is disabled:

click just outside of the frame of the playing area, then push tab. simply pushing tab does not yield results, but this method is working for me... just 4 more birds to find!

clarification of TAB use:

(sorry for the 2nd post)

move the mouse outside of the active playing frame. click outside of the playing area. do not move the mouse back into the playing field. push tab. moving the mouse back into the playing field will necessitate beginning the process again.

i concur that the birds are perhaps too elusive without tab - but then again - the birds are an enticement to see everything/do everything/be everything, and have that warm fuzzy feeling that accompanies all of those things.

I cant find the 10th bird!

the walkthrough said it is in the window with then guy in the chains but i can't find it D;

I can't find any of the darn birds!!!

I can't find the hook !!!

I can't get the paper in the right place under the floating rock. It always looks right. Where have
I gone wrong?

Lylly -
try putting it a little lower. It took me 4 or 5 times but it does work.

The atmosphere was good, the sound helped it, but my problem was differentiating certain clickable objects from the lines around it. I was just about to give up and consult a walkthrough before I clicked randomly in one place and found something I could use. I enjoyed Covert Front more, and thanks to these games, I'm getting better at this point-n-clickery.

*singsong voice* Cree-py!

The style reminded me a little of Edward Gorey. I hope for a sequel too, maybe expand the world of Daymare a little bit--how did we get there? What is it? Who are the people?

Is it just me or does the game restart at random clicks for others too?

i just got to the door at the top of the stairs

left of city hall but i lack this "other key." what other key?

I'm having difficulty locating a bird. xD

When you said...

Area - City Hall pt. 1
1: Go inside city hall
1a: Click in the top middle of the screen, then halfway up the left side of the wall for bird 6
Do you mean halfway up the wall of the hallway? I'm lost. I need clarification. T.T

I can't find one of the puzzles pieces. It's the square one on the left.

I know what I'm doing wrong, I can't get the piece out of the well. I can't get the string and hook to work on it. Is that where it is?

im kinda stuck i cant use the hook on the string at the passage.. i clicked everywhere but still nothing happens.

darn it i cant find the 6th bird

Like everyone else is saying, the birds were way too hard to find without the walkthrough (without TAB of course!), but also one more gripe:

Why would anyone think to combine the screwdriver with the cloth, and then light it to make a torch? Item combinations should be clever and tricky, but that one just plain made no sense.

... i didnt find ANY birds... even using walkthrough...

Can't find bird # 6!

In the walkthrough it says

Area - City Hall pt. 1 1: Go inside city hall 1a: Click in the top middle of the screen, then halfway up the left side of the wall for bird 6. Do you mean halfway up the wall of the hallway? Or like on the ground, or somthing?

PLEASE tell me its really bothering me!

I have enjoyed the game thus far, and have not had the need to use a walkthrough until I couldn't find the last bird. (Or what I thought was the last bird...) I am having problems finding bird 6.

I have tried in city hall as per the walkthrough, but to no avail.

If anyone can help please do.
Thanks!

Teacup, and I think PIXXIE too,

"Area - City Hall pt. 1 1: Go inside city hall 1a: Click in the top middle of the screen, then halfway up the left side of the wall for bird 6. Do you mean halfway up the wall of the hallway? Or like on the ground, or something?"
It's actually the crossbeam you have to click first in City Hall.

Me too Moose,

I just got to the door at the top of the stairs

left of city hall but I lack this "other key." What other key?

Where is it?

I can't find bird 4

I know it's in the book house on level 1, but for the life of me, I cannot see it

i need help finding the birds can someone post all the places they are in?

guy i missed the puzzle and you have get all the birds

i think i have clicked everywhere on the well but for some reason i cant get the

(don't know if this is a spoiler..) string and hook attached to it! i got every puzzle piece but the one in there

OMG!!! What the heck!!! Geez...this game is scary as soon as i started playing this game i thought "this will be a cool game to play" then came my encounter!!! I don't know what the heck this thing was but I was looking through the window in the armoury and I got down and there was this "thing" sticking it's head or something around the wall/doorframe (I jumped!!!) It then disappeared and I froze and I looked around it and there...was...nobody there. Can anyone please tell me what that thing was?!

I'm having trouble with bird 6 too.

Maybe it's just outside my screen? I'm clicking on the crossbeam in the hallway and there's no hand at all. I've combed the walls of the hallway and I can't find anything.

Jedda,

there isn't anything in the well. You can use the hook/string on the sink and the sewer, and that's it as far as I know.

Nevermind, I figured out what the problem was. I was playing the game through Facebook, and it cuts off the top part of the window, so there was no way I could find bird 6 to click on it anyways! I opened the game through the link on this page and it works now.

hey i can find some of the birds but even with the help i cant find the 6 bird

For first I`m not Skutnik for second where is hook and string ?? Plz help

This game is awesome.

It scared me when I went in the torture room and a lady under a sink popped out at me.

atombonds I did not say anything was in the well I said the WALL in the armoury.anyway what is it? this little black guy that appears in random place's like when you put the cursor over him he runs away and you hear a scuttling noise.can anyone tell me who or what he is?

i was really enjoying this game like crazy- the drawings are wonderful (the characters look like Tove Jansson illustrations and the scenery is really charming) and the gameplay is good and everything
and then i accidentally hit the paypal donate button which opens in the same window, which is such a tiny petty stupid little problem and so, so, so, so frustrating to have happen.

omg what the heck does the dumb side puzzle do? i dont get it at all... why did s/he (i dunno which i dont pay atention) put that dumb thing in there anyway!?

by the way. those who're stuck on the 6th bird, click on the top-middle in the hallway screen after you clicked onthe hallway to go to the end of it. you should see a bunch of pillars going across the walls. just go slowly up the corner of the left wall and you should find it. s-----l-----o-----w-----l-----y

can someone plz tell me the bird locations?

WOW!
This is a wonderful game, well organized and executed, and though some get frustrated with the "pixel hunt", I think it just makes it that much more rewarding when you finish the game.

And I wouldn't call this game scary,
BUT

When the librarian is sitting near the sink, that scared the bejeebus out of me!

Another thing I love about this game is the open endedness of this game, and how not all hints lead to a conclusion.

The night window, and the opening mouth guy both dont lead to solving the puzzle, but I really enjoy a good red herring to make you think.

Bravo!

About the bird on floor one of the bookroom...

when you click on the picture of the house if you look closely there is a tiny bird sitting on the rough in the photo... click on it and you have your bird... dont forget to look behind the frame if you havent already

Ok, I have the puzzle pieces but I can't get them into the pedastals????
PLEASE HELP!

Thanks to the spoilers, my friend Sam and I finally figured out how to lower the bridge.

If i see a bird today, I may feel the need to shoot him.

Hope there's a sequel.
Great game.

When I click the link to play the game, I just get a PayPal beg.

Hi! This is one of my first point and click escape games, and I love it. I just can't find the last puzzle piece and even though I found all the birds in the walkthrough, I still can't get the egg. For the city hall bird try

click the rafter in the hallway with all the doors, then hover over all the boards until you can click and that's where the bird is

Okay, I figured it out! Hooray! I know there is a walkthrough, but I thought it would be helpful to have these if you get stuck in solving....

Puzzle

P1: Use hook/string to get it out of the sewer in front of the City Hall.
P2: The little puzzle in the wall on the -2 floor of the Book House.
P3: Smash the paper so it breaks the rock on the -2 floor in the Book House.
P4: The upstairs on the podium in the armory AFTER you put the plate in the front of the building.
P5: In the torture room of the armory, the scary guy gives it to you after you give him the book.
P6: The guy in the passage gives it to you after you give him the coin.
P7: The safe in the office in the City Hall.

The Birds:

B1: From the main screen, click on the sky, then hover over the roof to the right until you can click, then you'll find the bird.
B2: From the main screen, click on the ledge on the lower left hand building.
B3: In the Armory, go to the room on the right and click the upper right corner of the ceiling to look up a little hole, then again on the tunnel.
B4: In the Book House on the 1 floor, there is a picture of a house. There is a little bird on the roof of the house, click on it.
B5: On the -1 floor of the Book House, there is a room full of books. On the right bottom section of the shelf, there is a book you can click on. The bird is in there.
B6: In the main hall of the City Hall, click on the rafter and hover over the boards until you can click.
B7: In the 3rd office on the right in the City Hall, click on the upper right corner, then click on the nest.
B8: In the City Hall, go through the hallway, then to the left and click twice so you are looking at a window/circle, click up at the top of the screen, then in the last hole on the right.
B9: Continue from the last screen so that you are looking at the bridge contraption, then click on the bottom left banister.
B10: In the tree outside the window of the room where the guy is chained to the wall.

Hope that helps!

Awesome game

I can't find bird 4, in the 1st floor of the liberary. Where is it?

I Can't Find The Egg!
We Looked On The Pedastool, But There Was No Egg :(!
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oops Found The Egg :)

can't find the last bird. help me..

I cant find the 5th bird on Book House Floor -1.

No matter how many times I check the bottom right hand side of the book shelf, nothing clickable ever appears.

I hate the little creepy things that disappear when you click on them. And does anybody know what the yawning face is for?

For finding the bird, Jack

just slowly hover across the books - the book has a little dot on the binding

i did everything in the first walkthrough
but two dots on the pedestal where the egg should be isnt there. so the egg isnt there. what did i miss??

I cannot get the stupid rock to land on the paper. How come? I have tried over and over, but it will not break it open. I click the rock to get it to lift, then quickly (hopefully) grab the paper and try to place it under the rock. Nothing happens. I have been trying this for over thirty minutes and it is driving me mad. Any help?

do you know how i get the string and hook for the sink?

Fin

i need 1 more bird, do you know how to find bird 2? it says....

example

you can find it in the sky is you look up in the yard, but i cant find it =[

best game I've played in a long time, brill.

Help?!

On the table with the rock and the scissors...

I know that I need to place the paper under the rock to make it shatter but I can't seem to figure out how/where exactly to place the paper.

Lift the rock and put the paper underneath

Augh,I can't put the paper under the rock!

done..............very scary game and weird! i still don't get it! lol!

oh myyy wow.
creepy.
lol
im paranoid now.

The paper under the rock seems to be near impossible with a laptop... I think I would have had it first try with a mouse! Am I correct? Anyone else have these troubles?

i am at the point where there is supposed to be an egg on the pedestal and there is no egg??? where is the egg, i made it this far without using the walkthrough but now I am stuck help!

the guy in the torture room scared me so much i stoped playing

Need a Solution for the Rock/Paper Problem

I know HOW to get the rock/paper thing to work, but after trying over and over and over again, it simply wont work. Jac: I am using a laptop, so I plugged in my portable mouse and there was no difference. Anyone have any idea what might be causing this problem? Other than that I am done!

The whole finding the birds thing is stupid. I can't find half of them, even with a guide. If i wanted mental torture, i'd have done math.

i like this game~

When Mateusz Skutnik wants to make a really, REALLY hard puzzle game, he doesn't kid around. I am not afraid to admit to everyone that I needed a walkthrough in a big way on this one, and I both pity and envy the people who had to figure it all out on their own in order to actually write that walkthrough. Good work, guys!

The amazing thing is how clear the drawings were in spite of their simplicity. The only problem is

The birds were kind of badly drawn and it took me a while to figure out what they were.

Other than that it was really incredibly good-looking.
I had hoped that

after the puzzles were solved we would have gotten a better idea of what the heck was going on in the town,

but you'd think I'd know better than to expect that of Mur! It's still a fantastic game.

Great! One of my favorite point and click games to date. The art work sets it apart from others. You get the feeling you're exploring an old European village(and not confined to a room, like most p&c's). Even though I only found 9 out of the 10 birds I was still able to finish the game. That's a plus too.

And MUCH thanks to Clemz for contributing the walkthrough.

JIG is THE best!

Awesome.
I always end up resorting to a walkthrough almost immediately. I'm not patient enough for these games.
Anyway, a few comments about the walkthrough by clemz:
thanks a ton, but a few things confused me and I wanted to help others:

for bird 2, click the sky from the main screen and then the corner of the roof and CHIMNEY. I spent alot of time trying to figure out what a "chiment" was.

also

if you haven't seen all the birds, there will be no egg on the pedestal. There are 10 dots on the pedestal symbolizing the birds. However many black dots there are, that's how many birds you've seen. The white dots indicate how many birds remain to be seen. I would have benefited from that information since I originally assumed that the birds were unimportant and I wasn't sure how many I had seen and how many I had missed.

thanks again clemz!

so what was the deal with those little black things running away? what was that?

I WIN!THANKS FOR THE Walkthrough!

How come I have 8 puzzle holes to fill??
The machine doesn't work!!

I'm usually not a fan of point and click games like this, but this managed to hold my attention a little longer, but in the end was a bit of a disappointment. Once I did everything I could think of on my own, I checked the walkthrough, and found that a lot of what I missed was just because of the art style (the hook and the string, for example, just look like other squiggles). The game just encourages pixel hunting or the TAB cheat, which isn't fun and doesn't increase a game's difficulty, just its tediousness. Plus,

the bird thing was annoying

, if I could have gone back to finish it, I would have, but I had to restart the game. Meh. Started strong, but left me dissappointed.

I can't find the book...Nice game tho, but my hand hurts from clicking all over the room looking for the book...Help me please...

SERIOUSLY, what the heck did the tribal man that burped/yawned have to do with anything!?!?!?!?!

When you look at

the picture of the house

there is another picture next to it and if you click it it tells you that

the little dude running around is the librarian

6th bird....
You are in main hall...click on the third door of the left side, if you are in office,click on top right..there is a small black thing,,,thats the 6th bird :)))

I've found all the birds, I've found all the pieces ... BUT I CAN NOT get

the rock to break open the paper thingie

.

any hints? No, I'm not on a laptop.

Hey,I have a question. And yes,I am new.
What the heck is with the furry little people???
Other than that,it was good.

i can't find the 7th bird. D:

the walkthrough says

Click to the right part between wood planks in the middle to reveal 7th bird

???? makes no sense -___-

help please!

For downeastcajun: click on the rock so it lifts and then place piece of paper quickly (as low as possible).
For D: Wood planks are in the city hall, above the hallway. Click area is very small, keep searching.
I am proud to say I finished the game without walkthrough (didn't know it existed until now), but it took me 2 days and I almost gave up :-).
This is just my kind of game.

Thanks for the walkthrough...
I would make one addition to the walkthrough... regarding the one in the reading room picture... perhaps spell it out a bit more... I couldn't tell that squiggle was a bird... missed it 3 or 4 times.
I really like the comments regarding regarding pixel hunting... I agree not being able to find something because your mouse is crap or whatever is no fun. I think a puzzle game should be about the puzzles not how good your vision or co-ordination is.
I hadn't found the egg but the contraption still lowered the bridge for me. I don't know whether I would have been able to win without finding the last bird or not, didn't try.
With the people who thought the combinations weren't logical... I disagree a bit.. if you can find the parts you give everything a whirl, as long as only the things that are meant to combine do...
take Care all, and thanks for this wonderful site

hi there all,
You actually don't need to worry about the whole bird thing... you can complete the game without it. I actually find that a real disappointment...
From Penny

You do not need to find all birds or the egg to win the game.

I can't put the paper under the rock its impossible!!!!Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good game... My eyes hurt from staring at the screen so long but good game :)

The rock paper does not work with a laptop, I've tried every way. I would have liked to finish. This needs to be fixed.

I can't get the string thing near the well.
Where is it??
Pls help.

Found it ;)

What do the birds even do? I see everyone is havign trouble finding them.. but i found them and i have no clue what to do with them.. i have tryed to click on them but nothing happens so yeah. just wondering what the point of the birds are..

The ending was rather.. um... interesting. Somewhat funny i guess. Not what i expected.

What's the poith the egg at the end, if the person just disappears?

help plzzz! I cant find string even w/ walkthrough some1 help!

i cannot find the last puzzle piece, the one for the right handed things, 2nd one from the right, i have been over the walkthrough completely twice, and i'm fixin to give up on it, been playing for over 5 hours! any suggestions?

ooh i did everyting only when you go left in the city hall
The 2e puzzle is still missing, but i dit al the 7 thins to get them , that weard.

this is sooooo frustrating. the paper/rock thing does not work. i hate having to quit in the middle of a game... i really was enjoying this game until then.

The rock paper part was really hard but it works...you have to put it right above the shadow and in the very middle...and from the comment before, this does work on a laptop computer without a mouse...I just did it and got very frustrated til i actually got it

Devastatingly, I can not get the rock/paper thing to work either. This was a great game, but that part is literally unplayable. Give up.

I have gone through the game 2/3 times. Much more to figure out then the 1st game. I've also have had a different number of coins left. My highest that I've found is 26 coins at then end of the game, it's a little hard to keep track of all the coins along in using for items that you may need also. I can't wait for the next game!

awesome game! creepy, but awesome!

I got every step but the last one, i cant click on the hand rail.

what's the use of the birds?

This really helped me a lot...But what's the point of the birds?

very good game.. a little spooky but really good.

at the end, you have to click on the handrail... it won't work, how do you do it

I completed the game. i found all the pieces and birds. but what do the birds and eggs do? and what does that face yawning has to do with the game??? Nice game btw

fun game.......and thank you for the walkthrough.

cant go upstairs twice after getting all the pieces. the city hall thing doesnt make sense

good game but many scary parts
i was using the walk through and when i got to the part that says
"Enter the recess, ignore the little man for now"
i thought it would be a little man like an inch high!
I almost peed my pants!!!

very difficult! i had to cheat :S

FIRST POST! THIS IS A GREAT WEBSITE! WOOO!

sorry. Daymare town was a great game, my favourite of the escape point-and-click persuasion. The birds were almost impossible to find. It's pretty hard, but in relation to most point-and-click games, there was not very many moments were I was totally stuck, just wandering from room to room. Can't wait to play the second one.

Birds:

1. Yard: Click on the corner of the building closest to your left

2. Ontop of the building with the wierd ornament, click between the chimney and window, then behind the chimney

3. Armory: Where you first see that black thing, click in the upper right corner

4. Book House: Click on the book on the 4th shelf with a dot on it (it's a picture of a bird)

5. Book House (were de elevator is at) 1st floor, click on the 2nd picture, click on the bird
(By the way, the piece of paper you put underneath the rock is behind the picture frame)

6. City Hall: Click directly above you, the bird is underneath 2 crossing planks.(between 2 parallel plank things standing on the left side)

7. In the furthest door on the left click 2 the right of the window (de corner)

8. Quayside,the left side: Where the circle thing is click above it, the bird is inside the very right window

9. At the bridge contraption: Click beside the wall

10. Entrance of City Hall: click left and go up the stairs you'll need the key 2 get in (key is behind stone near well, click behind it)then click the window,the bird is in the upper left part of the tree, there's a oval were it's at

Hope this helps.

about the piece of paper...

I know what i'm supposed to do but i can't do it fast enough! i must have tried 80 times and the rock always lands before i can get the paper down. where exactly does the paper have to go? (on the table under the rock, under the rock in the air?) anyone else have this problem and know how to solve it? thanks

JIGuest:

On the table under the rock. It's a bit tricky to time it... click the rock, drag the paper, then click the paper to place it in the shadow under the rock.

For the Rock Paper scissors, you may have too many items in your equipment list... you need to get rid of some items. That's what was buggering up my game for a while. And I was using a laptop.

For the rock and paper..

Make sure you are not trying to use the cloth! You need to find the scroll. That is the paper.

I was doing this for 10 minutes till I figured out it was the scroll I had to use.

I see everyone having trouble with the rock and paper, thats because you don't use the paper...you need the stick broken, I can't find all the birds

I had to use the walk through.
There are things I never would have found,
Good Game and will try the 2 series to this game.

It's a very good game, we gave it a strong 4.

Its strong points:
- logical puzzles (unlike too many similar games that expect some really weird solutions for the puzzles)
- not difficult what is a good thing for a game that can't be saved and thus should be solved in one sitting. I think, its level of dificulty is 2,5/5
- interesting graphics, simple and cute

Its weaker points:
- absence of music and/or sounds (personally I missed it)
- too many birds :) Five would be fine!

All in all, we enjoyed playing it and now are moving to the sequel.

I am stuck. I can't get the stone to crush the paper. I've been trying for like 10 minutes straight but even when the paper's under the rock before it hits the table, it still doesn't crush it. Any suggestions?

Is there a Daymare Town 3??????? If so tell me the link!!!!!

Okay I've tried all the previous suggestions in regards to the rock paper thing, still cannot break it, I've managed to place the paper under the shadow of the rock but it still doesn't work!! Any other suggestions ???

I don't know where the golden egg is. Please, anyone help me.

My friend says theres a key on the right of the stone I dont know if thats up close or in the yard just right of it. can someone please please tell me?

alas, the link is broken!!

[Edit: Thanks for letting us know, We fixed the link. Greetings, Kayleigh]

omg.. this is so hard. -o-!! i missed like half the things that needed to be clicked.

and LOL @ tonypa's comment!!! you lil rascal you, using the Tab button. WHY COULDN'T I THINK OF THAT!? XD

oh my god..dis is the craziest game i've ever played..without the guide,i'm sure don't know,wat the purpose of finding the bird if we cannot grab it...haha..
i like it soooo much!!

Ok. For those that were extremely frustrated like myself while trying to break the rock with the paper, I would like to share the solution.

You can't simply drag the paper underneath the rock. You actually must click on the rock, drag the paper underneath the rock (actually on top of the shadow), and then click the paper.

Click rock
Drag paper
Click paper

I hope that helps.

[Edit: Spoiler tags added. -Pam]

Okay, I know where three of the birds are, but I can't pick up any of them!Any suggestions?

Thank you soo much. This helped tremendously.

I've done everything but for the life of me I can't get the rock to break the piece of paper for the last puzzle piece. Is there a trick to this?

No matter what I do.. dragging clicking clicking some more, I can't get the rock to break the paper. :-(

This is just a personal theory, so I don't think I need a spoiler.

Was I the only one who got the impression that you were a bird while playing this game? Realistically the objects would have been impossible to find/combine/use if you were a bird, but the change inbetween screens sometimes seemed like you had flown from one area to another.

I really liked this game, but was a little disapointed with it's lack of explination. I loved the atmosphere of susspense the game created, and was really hoping for some sort of big reveal, horrible truth or shocking end...I guess I've been playing too many bloody/disturbing point and click mysteries. But still very good.

You CAN do the rock and paper thing. the game just generates a certain number of trials for you to attempt to open the rock, and then it finally works. When the paper stands up straight, the rock opens on top of it. Trust me, it works.
