4.5/5 (705 votes)

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

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..

Donovan July 25, 2007 6:08 AM

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?

Reply

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.

I've found loads of birdies though.

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 :)

jwm0429 July 25, 2007 7:38 AM

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.

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?

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.

Reply

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

Reply

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

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 :)

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

stone in the yard.

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.

Reply

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!

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!!

Reply

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!

Reply
doodoobutt July 27, 2007 12:48 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.

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.

I'm having difficulty locating a bird. xD

When you said...

Area - City Hall pt. 1

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.

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.

Reply

... 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.

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.

atombonds August 2, 2007 1:44 PM

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.

Reply
atombonds August 2, 2007 2:04 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.

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

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

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!

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

Reply

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!

The lousy rock puzzle ruined the game. I was enjoying it up until that point. I can't recommend the game for this reason and because of some of the incredibly small targets that need to be clicked.

Reply

To help with the rock paper thing:

It helps if you time the order of your objects so the paper is below the rock instead of on the ends. I have to start over to "find" the paper as the fourth or fifth object.

Such a fascinating game. Yes, it's frustrating, and my patience ran low, but in the end I figured it out (with a little bit of help, of course)! When I was a little kid I would watch my dad play Myst and this was happily similar.

Is this a spoiler?? I need help

Rock paper scissors... I get what I am supposed to do but I am unable to do so.
Perhaps because I am only using a laptop touch pad and not an external mouse.
Is there any further instruction I may need to know because as far as I can tell I should be getting results.

Reply

i can't break the rock. It falls quicker than i put a piece of paper (found from left behind the house picture at 1st floor) under it.

Reply

i did everything and the egg was no where to be found.

Reply

Noticed that at a couple points in the walkthrough it says to click toward the right when it's actually on the left...

For the puzzle piece behind the picture, you need to click on the left of the frame, and for the bird in the rafters of City Hall, he's toward the left not the right.

Hope this helps people

This should at least be rated yellow. It's quite creepy, and could possibly inflict nightmares. Cutting of tangent for now. The game was excellent, well made, delightfully creepy..5/5 in my book.

jedda, that "thing" that you saw is the black dude

like the librarian dude

that might have,and im not saying it is, in a way that i think the maker of daymare 1 wanted it to be, is the guy who got you in this crazy town in the first place

p.s dont the black dudes

the serwer ones, the librarian dude and that guy-who-pops-out-and-dissapears-when-you-move-your-mouse-on-him

thats wy the black guy dissapeared,ok jedda?

look kinda cute?

p.p.s whats up with the window?

the one in the armoury

that if you look to the top right youl go outside

p.p.p.s whats the secret ending

to find the part,i think, on the secret ending, look at that door with 2 windows and click on the left window and go left or right
if you picked: left

youl see an ally. go forward and youl see a wierd totem thing. Whats up with that?

right

you see a path. go forward, you see a locked door. Whats up with that?

oh, and one last thing

this took me AGES to make this comment, so respect it, ok?
