Escape from Rhetundo Island is a little bit point-and-click, a little bit Lemmings, and a little bit Hapland all rolled into one. It strings together a sequence of individual screens, or vignettes, through which you must safely navigate the stick-figure protagonist, Johnny Tag. Another amazing game from Rob Allen. [more info]

Trapped Part 2: The Dark

Psychotronic Rodrigo Roesler has released Trapped Part 2: The Dark, the middle installment in a trilogy of puzzle adventure games distinguished by a literary flavor and an unusual perspective. The Dark, like The White Rabbit before it, gives you a third-person isometric view of the story. You move your well-dressed, blank-faced character by clicking on the floor where you want him to stand, or on the object you'd like him to investigate. Helpfully, your pointer will turn red when it rolls over things in the environment you can affect directly.

Use objects you've found by clicking on your "items" tab to bring up your inventory, then on the item you need, and finally on whatever you'd like to use it on. You can't combine items directly, so often you'll need to utilize several objects in turn to solve complex problems. Using the [i] key to raise the inventory menu and [T] to put away items in hand will make your life easier.

I also recommend selecting "zoom" on the "options" tab as soon as humanly possible, in order to save yourself some unhealthy squinting. Those of you who had your eyeglass prescription permanently altered by the last game may now breathe a sigh of relief.

Analysis: This series has a lot more in common with the old Infocom text adventures than it does with modern point-and-click games. Rather than relying on abstract puzzles and thorough visual investigation, the Trapped games plop you in a mundane environment, lavish you with a huge inventory, and then ask you to be extremely clever.

You'll have to become the MacGyver of amnesiac adventure game heroes, usually making the best out of what you have, since few of the items you'll find look like keys that fit specific locks. Of course, everything in The Dark does have a purpose, but sometimes you'll feel like you're just picking up random bric-a-brac and contraptioning your way through the game. It's refreshing.

The downside is that the logic of the game world isn't entirely consistent. Some of the puzzles require knowledge of the real world, while others require a kind of dream logic, and it's difficult to know what type of problem-solving you need to apply when. Sometimes you won't even know what obstacle you're supposed to be tackling. If you enjoy having your brain stretched in surprising directions, you might love it. But it also might prove very frustrating.

Just remember that nearly everything you see or read is an important clue, even if it just looks like a touch of atmosphere.

Of course, text adventures had one giant advantage: the length of time it took to do anything was exactly equal to the time it took to type it. Here, you have to watch your hero amble slowly from place to place, often without knowing if you're making progress. Thankfully, Roesler confines the opening puzzles to a limited area, but by the end of The Dark, you'll once again be wandering around a giant maze of rooms any time you want to try a new tactic. It must be possible to fix this without sacrificing the series' distinctive style. Play Trapped Part 2: The Dark.

Cheers to Mariolinamay, Max, Softer, Stephen, Mauvejet, and Kari for suggesting this one. =)

Comments (may contain spoilers)

Hey I'm really stuck..i can't open the door with no handle!

All I Have is

Lighter, knife, book, concrete sphere, memo, a cabbage leaf, a spoon, slices of meat, a bookmark, a bottle of vodka, a dead frog and a small key which i dont know where it goes!!

Posted by: steph | January 3, 2008 5:54 PM

I am also having major loading problems. Rodrigo, I hope you get those server issues worked out real soon... I should've just left it at 61% and loading 1% per minute, because now after multiple refreshes the site itself won't even come up...

Posted by: Chrys | January 3, 2008 6:04 PM

What a great game!

I so do not agree with psychotronics review. (Sorry) I was frustrated a couple of times, yes, but the game had me continuing the search, and in the end I solved without help. The reason was that the game kept surprising me and switching directions. Easier games have made me give up, if they're not interesting, but I love this series, and it's very intense. Also there was clues from the beginning for the problems in the end, so I had a vague feeling to look for a creditcard, which was a cool subtle hint.
In general I loved the game.

Posted by: The great Dane | January 3, 2008 6:27 PM

Very good game once it FINALLY loaded properly. Thanks for all the tips, I was going crazy trying to figure out that door code.

The ending was kinda creepy lol.

Posted by: bobofetta | January 3, 2008 6:45 PM

I'm stuck at the ring/spoke locked door.

I have the code and I put it in but it won't open

Posted by: Melissa | January 3, 2008 7:06 PM

I'm not even finished loading the game, but some comments made me ask this question: is the game really creepy? I don't like creepy games...

Posted by: jojo | January 3, 2008 9:23 PM

@ jojo -

The game takes some "normal" things and adds a psychological twist to them. "Creepy" is just the reaction of some - it's not horror, it's psychological thriller. And even the thrill is low-key, so don't let those comments keep you from playing.

Posted by: wendy | January 3, 2008 10:35 PM

Great game. Its nice to have a point and click/room escape game with an interesting story behind it. I can't wait for the climax of the series.

Posted by: crkone | January 3, 2008 10:36 PM

Thanks Wendy, I'm playing the game right now. I think the creepy aura comes from the stone walls (looks cold to me) and those dark corners..

Posted by: jojo | January 3, 2008 11:20 PM

o wow.. just finished it (using a few hints from this page, thanks guys), and it is creepy.. not scary-ugly-monster-pops-out-iut-of-nowhere creepy, but the plot.. can't wait for the 3rd one! Great game!

Posted by: jojo | January 4, 2008 1:41 AM

The game is taking forever to load. Taking 5 minutes just to get to the progress bar and then hanging at about 6%.

Any info on what to do to make it load? I've tried clearing cache, and tried Firefox and IE.

Posted by: slgalt | January 4, 2008 2:04 AM

I think the site is lagging out due to bandwidth issues.

Posted by: weirdguy | January 4, 2008 5:10 AM

On Rodrigo's blog (http://trapped.rodrigoroesler.com/blog.php) he explains why people are having difficulty getting to the game. With sites like this and Nordinho etc. linking to it, the bandwidth has taken a hammering.

Posted by: Architectonic | January 4, 2008 10:18 AM

have found 2 "easter eggs" in both games.. have you?

One Coin for each game title

Rabbit Coin

Dark Coin

a little pixel hunting to find them ... just a little logic involved too, and you'll have to use an object in each game to find the "eggs."

Posted by: Jonathan | January 4, 2008 11:27 AM

i'm going crazy to find

dark coin

jonathan, where did you find it?

Posted by: mariolinamay | January 4, 2008 1:23 PM

Wow just finished the game without any help. Took me about a couple of hours. I was stuck for lots of time at the beginning but I once I got outside the house it was quite easy because the puzzles are much more logical. Another great thing is that there's no point and clicking at all. The story is so interesting, too bad we'll have to wait a couple of months to play the last part.

Posted by: Kupo | January 4, 2008 2:38 PM

where you find the

credit card

Posted by: llollzz | January 4, 2008 3:00 PM

Mine won't load at all, it won't even get past 5%. This is the second day I've tried and I've tried on FireFox and Internet Explorer. Neither works.

Posted by: Theresa | January 4, 2008 5:23 PM

Howdy, all--I've already forgotten my new sign on info--ACK! Sorry, Jay--I've been recuping from foot surgery, so a little out of it. Guess I will have to get YET ANOTHER account! haha

So, I'm having the same problem as Melissa. Found the code easily, immediately knew where it needed to go, but it doesn't work. I've tried forwards and backwards--no go. What the heck? Is this a glitch?

Posted by: dsrtrosy | January 4, 2008 5:36 PM

Hey, sorry I forgot this in my earlier post. I know there is some buzz about the bandwidth on the host site, but I just went into my Firefox preferences and added 10M of memory to the cache. It still took about 5 minutes to load, but it did indeed load. Don't know if I just got lucky, or if having a little extra cache space helped.

Posted by: dsrtrosy | January 4, 2008 5:38 PM

Holy smokes.

I just finished the game. The ending was really "mind-boggling" if you know what I mean. Can't wait till the 3rd part of this game. It's all got my mind turning and looking at all the possibilities of what's going on. Thanks
Rodrigo :) Never had an "escape" game keep me this interested and entertained.

Posted by: Melissa | January 4, 2008 6:20 PM

Wow, finally got it loaded, but I think I was waiting for it to load longer than I was actually playing the game! Nevertheless, amazing game, I love how the story is unfolding and I can't wait for the last installment!! Keep up the good work =)

Posted by: Theresa | January 4, 2008 8:19 PM

It took me two hours to load this morning (I was doing other things while waiting), and... it was worth it. Great game.

And I thought the mix of ordinary and dream logic was just right, meaning that I only needed two hints to solve it; and sometimes when I did solve it I felt smart:

putting the mirror on the small table to find the rod under the long table [this was a little frustrating, since I thought I had it in the right place when it was in the light]

and

calling again for the credit card [and I felt dumb about not connecting this with wishing I was rich]

I really liked

throwing the little coin in the little well to get out of the sick room

Posted by: Matt Weiner | January 5, 2008 12:13 PM

Woohoo! finally solved it!! Took me about 1 and a half hours but it was fun!!!

important parts:the huge mirror can be use for 2 purposes..only the bank's number is important...throw all coins into the well....give the statue ice pick and frog and the frog comes to life....dog craps when he eats cooked veggies and meat.....frog tongue can reach the end of hole...attract with flies

Posted by: jusher | January 5, 2008 12:40 PM

I got the game to load, but all the text is missing. The guy is invisible too. The only way I can tell where he is is by his shadow when he moves.

the rabbit coin, the dark coin, and the labyrinth coin are probably going to be used in the last part to unlcok some kind of unnecicary bonus, or mabey they will be used to beat the game. i dont know.

Posted by: andy | January 5, 2008 7:37 PM

do you get the dark coin when you use the knife on the frozen girl?

Posted by: andy | January 5, 2008 7:43 PM

haha! i found the dark coin! ill give you a hint, its in the nexus

Posted by: andy | January 5, 2008 7:58 PM

to get the dark coin, attach the chain to the other wall. then you get a magic football. throw it at the wall in the first room and you get the dark coin!

Posted by: Anonymous | January 5, 2008 9:10 PM

Hmm, what's the game that's referred to when you throw the first coin you get in the well? Eternal Darkness? I wish I knew.

Posted by: Gar | January 6, 2008 11:53 PM

Oh, I got the plumber's business card, but I don't understand the "Student of all Sciences". Was there a book I was supposed to read or a video game I was supposed to play?

Posted by: Gar | January 7, 2008 12:16 AM

Student of all sciences:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmett_Brown In the phone, we learn he's been missing for four years. In the Back to he Future Trilogy, we learn that he left the 20th century in 1985 and started to time-travel back and forth. Wikipedia says he eventually gone back to the 20th century in 1991.

Posted by: James | January 7, 2008 7:39 AM

I think Anonymous is joking about the dark coin and the football -- here's how you get the dark coin:

There's a blank book in the room with the books (the one behind the chained door). It's the book at the top of the table. Set fire to it with the lighter. Then click on it twice.

By the way, if you just follow the walkthrough you miss some of the story, not only can you read a bunch of the books but

in the room behind the brick wall, click on the papers on the desk

(I missed that the first time through, and it's really important)

after you get the red key, read the diary (it's not exactly the way it was in the first game

and

when you're in the space with all the doors, try knocking on the door to the bedroom

It adds a lot to the experience.

Posted by: Matt Weiner | January 8, 2008 8:43 AM

-mariolinamay-
Dark Coin:
Don't want to know? don't open spoiler and keep trying...the prior hint on this board is good.

Fire is the key to unlock the coin

Use the lighter to:

books are good for reading and..

BURNING! BTW this is prior to leaving the underground

it will be obvious when the comments are read there is only 1 choice to make to find the secret.

Posted by: Jonathan | January 8, 2008 10:46 AM

haha! i new some one would point it out sooner or later. great job!

Posted by: andy | January 8, 2008 3:37 PM

sorry, wrong game.

Posted by: jackson | January 8, 2008 3:38 PM

i just realized something, when you call for the credit card, you dont tell them the address, but they still deliver it to the right address. weird, huh?

Posted by: andy | January 9, 2008 4:00 PM

Okay on the walkthrough #40 says to

"Go through hole in brick wall to enter Room 5" this is after repairing the water wheel. My question is WHAT HOLE? I see none.

Help!

Posted by: ducknme | January 10, 2008 7:04 PM

duude..

this game was actually really hard to finish! I'm glad for the walk thru's and tips found here cause.. Oi!!

the dialogue in this game turned out to be funny at times (or is that just me?) but you have got to be insane or insanely smart to finish it completely on your own.

looking forward to the NEXT CHAPTER!! mwuhahaha!

Posted by: moseywo | January 10, 2008 7:21 PM

ducknme:

Is the metal bar in the watermill?

Is the water turned on?

If you've done everything, you should see an animation of the watermill breaking up the brick wall -- you can't miss it.

Posted by: Matt Weiner | January 10, 2008 10:48 PM

Thanks Matt Weiner, I did finally figure it out, but the walkthogh dosen't mention that at all and I had been stuck there for some time!

I need help with the Lens i cant get to scale x3 O.o what do i do to get there?

Posted by: Carmi | January 11, 2008 6:58 PM

I was having the same issue with the code door, i thought i was copying the exact pattern from the CARVED CRYSTAL but turns out i hadn't notice the rings in the door were not in descending order :P its stupid but its a good tip if you are me

Posted by: esther | January 11, 2008 7:37 PM

WELLLLL - That was fun to play

BUT

I needed a lot of help from the walkthrough.

Put the flies in the jar, the jar of flies in the hole, then let the reincarnate frog shoot his tongue in there???

I don't know why I couldn't come up with THAT myself...

Really of two minds on this one, it was kind of all over the place, one minute light and humorous, the next minute gross, violent and creepy. I like the humorous and light better. I will definitely play part three though.

Hey and if you don't want to be murdered, NEVER start a DIARY. It's apparently the kiss of death. ;-)

Posted by: Jac | January 11, 2008 8:00 PM

so i just spent like two hours or more playing your game, i liked it! very Lynch-esque, specially the heart puzzle (kindda like the blue box in mullholand drive) loved it :)... HOWEVER, i hated the illustrations :S they are very very bad. sorry. they are. I think you need some artwork with more soul and magic. not the gameplay graphics i mean the story telling graphs. Congrats!

Posted by: esther | January 11, 2008 8:14 PM

just a question please cause i just can't find it and don't know what that it :(((( and i'm so stuck...... WHAT IS THINGAMAJIG???? and on the well i can't find it???? thank you x

For the last two days I have tried to open Trapped Part 2: The Dark after having had a great experiance from the first Trapped.

However, the game seems to freeze at 1/2 67% every time. When I refresh the page, it stays at 67% and the loader at the bottom says "(1 item remaining)".

I have tried closing and re-opening, diconnecting and then redialling the internet and other basic variations, to no avail.

Any ideas? Not being able to access the next part of the story is killing me!

Thank You,

Lauren.

Lauren - it is possible that you received only a partial download and then something happened to corrupt the file you have in your cache, which makes your browser think the file is complete.

You should have success by emptying your browser cache and then try accessing the game again.

Roesler does it again! Wow. I had to brute-force the game a couple of times because I didn't want to look at the walkthrough.. great game!

I still wonder what the newspaper meant.."nononoononono", indeed ;)

The code behind the red brick door in the millroom is killing me. I can not figure out what the code is. I keep reading the spoiler above and I still can not figure it out. Could someone please explain it to me step by step? I have been stuck on this code for an hour.

Awesome game! I did have to peek at the walkthru here and there. I can't wait for part 3!

How do I get the game to load? All I get is a page that says PLUGIN.

This looks broken (404), as well as The White Rabbit, and Google isn't turning up a new link.

[Edit: Although I don't yet have a version of the White Rabbit to host from Rodrigo yet, the links above to The Dark are now functioning. Thanks for the alert. -Jay]

wG, the site will be off for a while due to server problems. However, you can use this alternate url to play The Dark:

http://trapped.fizzlebot.com/the_dark.php

And thanks, Jay, for that. :)

Fun game with nice graphics and the few frustrations, like

having to feed the dog the cabbage BEFORE the meat

were mostly enjoyable, except, as I've mentioned here before, I HATE when solutions are not at all logical. Every time I have to consult the walkthrough, I feel a little stupider :). And when it turns out to be totally random and illogical

(why would you put the frog on the statue? why the concrete sphere in battery acid? why flies in the hole in the wall, although then using the frog mades a sort of sense)

, I feel cheated.
Nonetheless, looking forward to part 3.

I love this series, and as much as I love it, I'm trying not to kill my cpu.

Lol I ma seriously stuck. The walkthrough told me to call the bank for a credit card. I did and did it three times, but it always said I couldn't order it because I did not have an account. did I miss something or how do I set it up to where I can move on? help PLEEEEASE!!

i did have to look at walkthru a bit, but part 2 was awesome

Jessie, have you

Thrown a coin in the well and said "I wish I were rich" yet? (You don't have to do anything to say "I wish I were rich," the game does it for you.)

Once you do that,

The bank should say that there's an account for you with lots of money in it.

why am I unable to open Part 1, white rabbit? :-(

I'm also having huge problems trying to interpret the dials to open the door. I got the solution from the

crystal

but I can't see how the notches match up to the dials on the door. The thing confusing me most is that in the solution there are 2 notches on the same setting, but there are no two dial settings on the door that are the same.

This is such an awesome series. Thanks so much for the walkthrough!

So what is the zoom function supposed to do? I click it, but the only thing that happens is the Options window closes. I'm stuck early and I'm wondering if I can't see something.<
