Just 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.

Comments (may contain spoilers)

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

Posted by: achennar | July 26, 2007 2:16 PM

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?

Posted by: roseann | July 26, 2007 3:38 PM

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!"

Posted by: waycooler | July 26, 2007 7:33 PM

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!!

Posted by: elemeno | July 27, 2007 12:21 AM

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.

Posted by: baba44713 | July 27, 2007 4:21 AM

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!

Posted by: doodoobutt | July 27, 2007 12:26 PM

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.

Posted by: doodoobutt | July 27, 2007 12:48 PM

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;

Posted by: Baie | July 27, 2007 6:13 PM

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

Posted by: dawn | July 28, 2007 12:01 AM

I can't find the hook !!!

Posted by: Alex | July 28, 2007 7:34 AM

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

Posted by: Lylly | July 28, 2007 8:07 AM

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

Posted by: barnz | July 28, 2007 4:55 PM

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.

Posted by: Gar | July 28, 2007 11:31 PM

*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?

Posted by: joye | July 29, 2007 12:45 AM

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

Posted by: electronicfly | July 29, 2007 4:48 AM

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?

Posted by: moose | July 29, 2007 8:42 AM

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

Posted by: Chorale | July 29, 2007 1:52 PM

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

Posted by: Sarah | July 29, 2007 7:30 PM

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?

Posted by: Sarah | July 29, 2007 7:38 PM

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

Posted by: Charmaine | July 30, 2007 5:04 AM

darn it i cant find the 6th bird

Posted by: Anonymous | July 30, 2007 5:20 AM

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.

Posted by: DLand | July 30, 2007 10:52 AM

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

Posted by: poots | July 30, 2007 1:06 PM

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!

Posted by: Teacup | July 30, 2007 3:18 PM

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!

Posted by: PIXXIE | July 30, 2007 11:55 PM

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.

Posted by: Tara | July 31, 2007 1:49 PM

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?

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

Posted by: mhmm | August 1, 2007 3:50 PM

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?!

Posted by: Jedda | August 1, 2007 7:30 PM

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.

Posted by: atombonds | August 2, 2007 2:21 AM

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.

Posted by: atombonds | August 2, 2007 1:44 PM

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.

Posted by: atombonds | August 2, 2007 2:04 PM

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

Posted by: manda | August 2, 2007 3:34 PM

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

Posted by: Mateusz | August 3, 2007 8:51 AM

This game is awesome.

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

Posted by: Thelaw13 | August 3, 2007 12:30 PM

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?

Posted by: Jedda | August 3, 2007 5:27 PM

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.

Posted by: cami | August 4, 2007 3:04 AM

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

Posted by: anonymous | August 4, 2007 3:39 AM

can someone plz tell me the bird locations?

Posted by: lordzeppelin | August 4, 2007 9:18 AM

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!

Posted by: byebyebaby | August 4, 2007 4:40 PM

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!

Posted by: byebyebaby | August 4, 2007 4:44 PM

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

Posted by: Tiffany | August 5, 2007 5:59 AM

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

Posted by: Nano | August 7, 2007 5:32 AM

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

Posted by: Lora | August 8, 2007 2:07 AM

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!

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

Posted by: Raleigh | August 10, 2007 1:09 PM

For finding the bird, Jack

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

Posted by: Lora | August 11, 2007 12:20 AM

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?

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.

Posted by: sissychrissy1 | August 16, 2007 7:31 PM

Lift the rock and put the paper underneath

Posted by: bob | August 22, 2007 7:11 PM

Posted by: Callan | September 2, 2007 11:00 PM

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?

Posted by: Jac | September 7, 2007 10:32 PM

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!

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!

Posted by: Autter | October 4, 2007 2:21 AM

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!

Posted by: Zeke | December 10, 2007 1:21 AM

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.
