I fell asleep in the hair salon. The shampoo was too relaxing.
And so begins Nigepico, an unexpected gift from the Gotmail team, which has previously given us such excellent escape-the-room games as Strawberry Tomato and Il Destino. Nigepico, though one of Gotmail's earliest efforts, has never before been translated into English (and so, like a previously unseen rerun of a favorite show, might be new to you!). You awake to find yourself in a deserted hair salon and, as might be expected, must find keys, solve puzzles and discover codes that lead to your escape. While Nigepico is not quite as sophisticated as, say, The Shochu Bar, it is nonetheless more than worth your time. Play Nigepico.
Thanks to Kristin, Katie, Alex and Bigbosssnk for submitting this one. =)

I found out where to use the comb:

For some reason the comb

Works when combined with the text files in the computer. Any ideas?
@Elaine:

@Weirdguy:

Thanks, Tarx!
About the comb:

Aha!

I can't get the code from the giant mirror to work anywhere and I can't find a buisness card! Help!
Got it!!!!

@Weirdguy re:comb

.....That's spooky.
Also, I thought that thing was sort of suspicious. I mean, if you look at the whole room, it seems like it was out of place.
If you double click on the shard while in the correct position, it shows you something else. But it's not really helping me!
Er...right position?
i beat it once i found the place on the shard of the mirror.
ending for you

now take it back to the laptop, do the comb thing and they will combine on the laptop.
go to the white chair and razor blade on the back of the headrest, grab the key by clicking on the tear and use it on the glass door to the right of the laptop, look for the blue mat on the floor.
I'm annoyed that the red book and left door are not used.
1:02:13 i am going to sleep or something now.
Something's not right. I don't buy it. Watch the ending.
If you've finished, read this.

Reminds me of that old television commerical, "If you haven't seen it, it's new to you!"
I'm having a hard time finding the dryer.
i'm not getting where or how you people found the shard of glass. i have been in the broken mirror room too :-(
i havent found most of the items like mirror and hairdryer, batteries, other key etc...
where do u find all the items?
Okay... I can't find the mirror shard... I'm looking at the picture, clicking on every part of every mirror, and I'm not getting it... I also can't find the hair dryer.
Where is the razor blade? What do I use the rust remover and the mannequin head for? Are these three related?
I clicked on the link and got a black screen popup, that has Japanese writing and a translation "Windows Vista users may have a problem with this game. We're sorry about that." And a bunch of google ads. Ummm, I'm using a Mac- I'm not understanding this- Maybe that is their version of a "our bandwidth is exceeded" type page.
A good and typically frustrating game...
Got lots of things but can't find the business card...
Hmmm. I'm stuck on some really basic stuff.
I've picked up:

I've managed to:

I know that I need:

Thanks for any help!
Where do u get blowdryer and what mirror shard?
Nevermind. I got stuck at the remote control, but eventually, with help, found the answer.
Remote control:

Where is the raizor, looked everwhere and it's all that's left. Any help?
I can't seem to find this business card! =/
Ok i got the message:

Also I still can't find the

I wish there had been something to find in the

Anyway, a well made game, if only there had been some closure.
Whoa just found something cool


I am having trouble locating the attachment for the cell phone...behind the dispenser?? I can't locate it behind the dispenser..

53 mins 35 seconds to finish. Spent ages


i got the razor blade
Arg...code from my cell won't work in the computer! I think at this point, I'd appreciate a walkthrough... ;)
Hm, don't have a clue where to find the razor. Must be obvious, but I don't know where that obvious place is.
I can't find the business card or the hair dryer. Help please???
It took me a while, but I found this walkthrough on another website and thought I would post it here for all you guys who are stuck.

The code from the cell phone doesn't seem to work in the laptop for me. Am I doing something wrong? I even restarted the game, got a different password, and that still didn't work.
First of all, hello, is my first time posting, but i've been following this page for a good time.
I have a problem with the computer pass

Please, help me, I'm Crying!!! (well, not really)
I figured out the problem with the cell phone code.

When I enter the password from the text message into the laptop nothing happens.
My only guess for those 2 extra items in the inventory is for a sequel to Nigepico. I've never seen that scene on that 2nd photograph before on any of their other games (am i wrong?). And that last item, was that the towel from the far right yellow chair? I'm guessing it all has to deal with a pool or bathhouse scene. But that's just me guessing ^_^
I found this wouldn't work in Mozilla 2 only Internet Exporer Caya, mind you I'm using a PC?
I can't get the password from the phone to work on the computer My password is


"I fell asleep in the hair salon. The shampoo was too relaxing."
...
"Hey, it's about closing time; shouldn't someone wake that guy up?"
"Nah, hey, I've got an idea! C'mon, let's set something up like this! He'd probably rather wait until we open tomorrow than figure it out! Heehee!"
I am also having the problem where

DOH! I figured it out. The "a" was really a "q" but the bottom was cut off.
I have some other hints for the laptop password:
Something that looks like an "i" might be a "j" and I also had something in there that could have been a "q" or a "g". So you have to be patient and try out a few "versions" of the password. But finally it will work! :-)
I found that I had to restart the game/refresh the page with respect to:

Need help!!

ridiculous. well made, but the steps need to be just a tad bit more obvious. also the ending ans well as the unused items. it's like they had a deadline and released the game without finishing it. i agree, it's probably a movie/tv set. much needs to be explained, and i hope it happens soon.
Ugh, the game won't let me finish! The


The first time I saw the

made me jump T__T
And they still thought 1 is not enough!
Thx for the hints, I'd never figure out the second use of the green comb myself ^^
I believe the extra 2 items are from a previous version of this game. I remember playing it some time back before they came out with an English version.. some of the items are different
if you are going crazy over the


Kassich is right -- it sucks that

I gave up -- this game isn't worth finishing.
Erm I can't find the maniquinn! AH help me >
Hehe, I didn't need to find the

a print screen + some photoshopping did the trick :)))
OK, I managed to

OK, I managed to combine

Couple of things that don't seem to be fair with this - otherwise absolutely fine - game:

It's quite a good game though.
One last remark:

Well, BioLarzen, would you want to shave/hurt yourself with a rusty razor?
Actually, I haven't played the game yet, so I don't know what it's used for. Still, there is the issue of hygiene.
I don't get numbers on the business card, just pictures which I don't know how to use. Help, anyone?
um er..... wat are those ghosts??? --------
plz tell me
ah ha!!!!!!!!!!!
maybe the "ghost figures" are just people outside walking by and the mirror is only just a window. omg it just has to be!
@minxi:

@crystal:
for the manequinn

omg.. i've been looking for these types of mystery games for like FOREVER. i've only seen a few. awesome game! i love you :D
hope there'll be more of these.
NOOOO THIS GAME JUST WON'T LET ME WIN!
I saw the manequinn and it's freaky... BUT THEN I COULDN'T FIND THE SHATTERED MIRROR, SO I REFRESHED THE PAGE.
I played again and THIS TIME, I COULDN'T FIND THE MANEQUINN AGAIN. Is there something wrong?
P/S I checked the cash register for the picture and I clicked on the picture.
Thnks jojo. I have flipped the business card over, but still only get pictures.
Gar,
OK, shaving with a rusty razor is definitely a health hazard :), but, for god's sake,

doesn't seem to be an act that yells for a clean and hygienic tool :)))
I need some help please ! with the number in cash registe I try to solve it but I cant ?????????????
ROSE,
thought of trying the walkthru?
People shouldn't have to waste time thinking of endless combos to make a password work. I had a password where there are 3 i's which could have been j's and an a that could be a g or a q. The game looks really nice, but it seems there needs to be some cleaning up. I'll probably never finish this game because of that one glitch.
There is something wrong with this game I think. The stupid phone won't send me the stupid message though I use the number on the back of the card. Zzzzzzz.
one of the items that appears in your inventory at the end is a


as for the story of all these games,

I'm stuck where

right sfter i found the word in the big window
what do i do?
how do i get the computer files?
the password from the message on the phone isnt working...
i cant find the mannequin
OMG just seen the

Creepy!
also red herring

I don't get why people are still saying they're stuck or can't find this or that or can't figure out a password. I believe, scrolling down, I've seen at least TWO full walkthroughs.
I loved this game, because it was so straightforward. I was able to do it completely and easily without the help of hints or a walkthrough. Things made sense, mostly - as in, what items to use and where. It was great that there were no anagrams or secret codes... everything was just there for you. I believe I found all the items there were, and I used them all in one way or another. Someone mentioned when they finished the game there were two(?) extra items in the inventory. What were they? I think they probably just included things you hadn't found and had managed to finish without.
i finished the game, but i don't get what the red glowing light was for or the photo at the end and what it meant. Lol, i don't think i saw any ghost and when it said 'i think there's something terrible in the mirror' i thought it was talking about your reflection :P
hahaha, I never saw the ghost! I was almost to the end when I saw all the posts about the ghost. I was wondering what they meant with the "there is something terrible in that mirror."
I thought they were going vampiric or something
I saw the message about the 'something terrible' in the white chair mirror, so I stayed there to see what would happen. 10 minutes later, nothing. I then moved to the orange/brownish chair next to it to continue with the game, and lo and behold, a ghost.
Do they show up everywhere?
i saw a picture for this game on one of the computers in the privacy,is this the sequel to it or something????
Something scared me and i closed the game. I am having fears since i played :



I've only seen one ghost...It's creepy...
Jeez, this one is actually kinda freaky! I hate all those reflective surfaces. Those ghosts are really freakin' me out-- I've seen four!
What HAPPENED! What is WRONG with this place?!
This sucks.
There is something shiny under the first chair, but when I try clicking it- the screen goes back to the main view. I know that much is because the down peice is /right/ there. But christ... MAkes the game impossible!
I had to give up. I never would have found the mannequin without the walkthrough. Even with the walkthrough it took me a while to find it.
I'm stuck with the mirror. I used the hair dryer multiple times to dry the mirror and used the shard on the mirror in front of the yellow chair.
It's frustrating to have spent so much time on a game only to have to: 1. Cheat and 2. Not be able to finish.
hey the number in the cellphone isnt working on the laptop.any
I can't find the friggin mannequin, EVEN with the walkthrough.. I found the hair dryer on the shelf but the're no 'under the self' accessible for me!
were do u find the mannequin i need heeeeelllllpppp
In the new room, move right to face the two chairs and then click around the left hand chair to locate a hairdryer.
Zoom out and then click in the sink by the other chair to collect a shard of mirror. Whilst zoomed in, look behind the chair to collect a wig on a mannequin’s head.
