Definitely stuck at the floating symbols thing.
So far my main technical suggestion is that I should be able to click on the item's entire box to select that item, not just the item itself (which can be annoying because several items are very thin).
I have the first five items. No idea what to do with the four chest buttons, or how to fix the grinding wheel, or what to do with DASH (click weapons in order does nothing). Help!
Wyloch -
To fix the grinding wheel, see if you have two items in your inventory that you can combine. After all, it's just the pedal of the grinding wheel that needs fixing. As for the chest buttons, you need to fix the grinding wheel first.
Also stuck at the floating symbols. I'm starting to wonder if I need to know stuff about tarot to figure this, since the items you use with them coincide with the Minor Arcana.
@Wyloch: What items do you have, exactly?
Got a little further...no idea on the vellum journal's code...
2 things on the journal's combo lock:
The numbers you need are in the scroll.
There's a little something under the corner of the rug that'll help as well.
Hm. I see a backwards three on the scroll, and no other numbers. Googled most of the words, nothing there. Clue on the floor indicates I should attempt to read something backwards...maybe?....
Wyloch:
As far as what's written int he scrolls go, The Whole Word Isn't Needed.
So nobody's got any ideas in regards to the floating symbols yet? I'm about ready to call it quits here. :[
I've found a hint on the floating symbols:
Use the magic wand on the last empty page of the book.
I'm not quite sure what it means yet though.
I googled "tarot morose" and "tarot cheerful" etc. and tried based on search results which actually seemed promising (matched the game items) but still did not work.
Hmm... frustrated and stuck- have not yet seen the floating symbols, but
have been told to "Show me you can take up arms against the crown"
... did find the hint
on the last page of the journal, that "each symbol is a question", with the four symbols given on the next page. Not a clue.
Squawky -
Have you:
Found the coin? If so, have you taken a good look at it?
Ah! Thank you - had looked but not close enough.
Sadly, though, managed to lock up the game while exploring the floating symbols
clicked on the wand and the "arrogant" symbol; the wand shrank but got "stuck" in the inventory box - no manner of clicking/right-clicking/zooming could convince game to restart.
and am now back to start. Good luck all - wish I had some insight to share.
Yeah, that book clue isn't helping any.
How exactly are "grumpy," "morose," "arrogant," and "cheerful" questions?
The coin was described early as "happy looking."
With that, assumed the coin was "cheerful."
Therefore, that leaves six possible combinations. Tried them all to no avail.
Shame, but I gotta bail. Can't brute force with four unknowns.
Where are people finding this coin, journal, and floating symbols? I'm stick with scroll (I know what it means, just not where to use it), the stick, and I refilled the cup with more water.
Vulpisfoxfire -
Did you:
Sharpen the stick? If so, have you found something to poke with it?
@grinnyp Yup. And it does is irritate, about how like I'm feeling about this puzzle at the moment.
Ah, I see now. Pun entirely intended.
Vulpisfoxfire -
Yes, pun entirely intended. ;-)
Now I'm stuck on the symbols, like everyone else. :-/
I'm thinking the coin could be either cheerful (because it was a happy coin) or morose (because you defaced it). I'd think moros could also mean 'down in your cups'..but no combination has worked so far. :-/
Anyone figured out what the clue on the table is for?
Arrrgh. I just realized that I'm overthinking those symbols...let me see if this works..
Aparently not. Nuts. Was thinking Cheerful, Grumpy, Morose, and Arrogant...in combination with a Coin, a Grail, a Magician's wand, and a Armament, but that doesn't seem to work either. :-(
This game *is*, finished, correct? I'd hate to think we've been butting heads against a broken puzzle. :-(
vulpisfoxfire, I thought something similar (wordplay with the words themselves) but haven't found anything yet.
Thoughts:
Pairing the items with the rooms they appear in doesn't seem to work.
Does order matter? If so, I'm thinking it would be the order listed in the book. Tried going around the room in the listed order (which is also how the items return to you) but no luck.
Do the two lines above and below the "Answers" section matter? The only place I found with four horizontal lines was the table with the one clue regarding the journal code.
Wondered if the floating symbols moved in any particular pattern that might be a clue, but seems random to me so far.
I did pull out my tarot book but don't see anything that specifically relates those traits to the minor arcana.
Yeah, I got nothin'.
Well, I know which game should end up at the bottom of the list in this competition round, at least. :-(
Am stuck at the floating symbols: sending the goblet to the symbol at the fireplace has locked the game and there's no ability to do anything. Enjoying the game up until then.
Has *anyone* figured this out yet? I'm reeeally not in the mood to brute force all the combinations involved. :-(
Got it! notawebmaster was on the right track.
look at the lines on the answer page again. it's not how many lines. it's something about the lines themselves.
Specifically...
what letters are underlined?
oops sorry for hiccup.
just in case you missed it...
E on floor by the trunk points East.
Wow! Finally got it!
the 'ANSWER' in the book is telling you 'NSWE', which means the direction!
Then just put the corresponding tailsman
Well done to those who completed it! The last puzzle is a bit trickier, but I hope the pieces are there to be put together.
jksaiewitz: the inventory box should be clickable too, so I'm not sure why that isn't happening for you :-(
WRT lock-ups: that's not something I found testing, so my sincerest apologies. How Annoying! I haven't managed to replicate it but I'll keep trying and send in a fix.
Okay, I get the clue for the talismen, but apparently I am directionally challenged. Is the chest
east or is the creepy eye east?!
Interlock Walkthrough
General Information
-
Examine items you pick up, they may be hiding useful information.
-
There will be directions for the colorblind in the walkthrough.
-
Watch out for demon eyes!
-
Good luck.
Exploration
-
You begin facing a fireplace with a roaring fire. On the floor in front of the fireplace is a wooden plank, take it.
-
To the left of the fireplace is a table. On the table is a gold cup and a scroll, click on the table for a close up and take both.
-
Click on the table again for a close up and you will see a clue: "It always begins with I and ends at the beginning". Below the text is a stylized E.
-
Back up twice and turn right.
-
You are now facing a wall with some red curtains. On the ground in front of the curtains is a pool of water and some rope. Take the rope.
-
Click on the curtains to open them and you will find THE EYE OF SAURON! Or, the eye of some random demon, whatever.
-
Turn right.
-
You are now facing the door out. On the wall are some bookshelves, and on the floor is a wooden chest. The wooden chest features a picture of an eye in the Egyptian style.
-
Click on the chest for a close up and you will see a lock code featuring four buttons, left, right, up, and down. Back up.
-
On the shelves, separate from most of the books, are three books in three colors. The red book is slanted from the upper right to the lower left, the blue book is standing straight up and down, and the green book is slanted from the upper left to the lower right.
-
Click on the corner of the rug underneath the chest and you will see an upside down E with an arrow pointing to the left. Back up.
-
The door is, of course, locked.
-
Turn right.
-
You are now facing a wall with a large, empty weapons rack. In front of the rack is a pedal-powered grindstone with the pedal broken.
-
There is a note hanging from the bottom of the rack, click on it for a close up.
-
The note says: "Don't forget, to get through you must DASH." Must be a clue. Back up.
-
You can click on the imprints of the missing weapons, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
-
Turn right.
-
You are now back where you started at the fireplace.
-
Let's take a look at all of the items in the inventory, shall we?
-
First is the cup, which is apparently a grail, although not the famous one.
-
Next is the scroll, which has a lot of Latin-sounding words on it but doesn't apparently mean anything.
-
You also have a flat piece of wood and the rope, although there is not anything particularly unique about them.
-
Time to solve some puzzles!
The Fireplace
-
You should still be facing the fireplace and the roaring fire.
-
Wonder if there might be something in there? Shame we don't have some water.
-
Although we did see some water earlier...
-
Turn right to face the curtains.
-
Use the grail on the puddle of water (ewww, dirty!) then turn left.
-
Use the grail full of dirty water on the fireplace.
-
Yikes!
-
When your eyes adjust, the fire should be out.
-
Click inside the fireplace to retrieve a stick. Hmmm, shouldn't that be burned at least?
-
Now what?
The Grindstone
-
Turn left to face the grindstone.
-
Looks like we need to repair the pedal.
-
Fortunately, we appear to have the parts we need.
-
Pull up the flat piece of wood from your inventory.
-
Use the rope on the wood. A replacement pedal!
-
Now use the rope/pedal combination on the grindstone.
-
Yay, it's repaired!
-
Now what?
The Demonic Eye
-
Turn right (or left) twice to face the curtains and the demonic eye.
-
How about we poke it with the stick we got from the fireplace?
-
Gee, we can't poke it with a blunt stick. How can we sharpen it?
-
Turn right (or left) twice to face the grindstone.
-
Use the blunt stick on the grindstone to sharpen it.
-
Examine the stick. It is now nice and pointy, and looks like a magician's wand.
-
Turn right (or left) twice to face the demonic eye.
-
Poke that eye with the sharp stick!
-
Well, we managed to irritate it, anyway.
-
Now what?
The Wooden Chest
-
Remember the wooden chest with the picture of an eye on it?
-
Wonder if it has anything to do with the demonic eye?
-
It had those buttons on it, the left, right, up, down buttons.
-
But where do we find the code?
-
You got the code when you poked the demonic eye with the sharp stick.
-
Do it again and watch closely, the eye moves in distinct directions: down, left, right, down, up.
-
Turn right to face the door out and the chest.
-
Click on the chest for a close up and push the buttons in the order you learned from the eye.
-
The chest will open to reveal a fine blade and a vellum journal with a code lock. Take the items and back up.
The Vellum Journal
-
Pull up the journal from your inventory.
-
Note the stylized E on it, we've seen it before (on the table and on the scroll).
-
Click on the right side of the journal to see the lock. We need a three digit code.
-
Perhaps the clue is in the other places we've seen the E?
-
Remember the scroll?
-
Look closely at the nonsense words that make up the scroll.
-
The first letter of each word spells out three numbers: Three, seven, and nine.
-
However, that won't work as the clue for the journal.
-
The second clue is the words on the table. The "Ends and the beginning" bit is the clue to reverse the numbers.
-
Therefore the code is 973.
-
Pull up the journal, then click on the right side to see the lock.
-
Enter the code you just got from the scroll/table combination.
-
Okay, there's a bit about the demonic eye fomenting unrest. What are the Talismans of Tarot, anyway?
-
Also check the inventory list on the page, 5 swords, 7 daggers, 3 axes, and 3 hammers, it looks like the folks in the castle are armed to the teeth.
-
Turn to the last page and you will see that it is blank except for that stylized E, although this time it is backwards.
-
Have we seen that thing backwards anywhere else?
-
Yes, on the magic wand!
-
Use the wand on the last (blank) page of the journal to reveal secret writing.
-
Okay, each symbol is a question, and the answers are the cup, the stick, the sword, and some sort of circle.
-
Close down the Journal.
The Weapons Rack
-
Turn right to face the weapons rack.
-
Hmmm, those empty spaces for the weapons are clickable. Wonder if that means anything.
-
Also, what's up with the note on the rack, the one telling us to DASH?
-
There are two parts to this clue.
-
The first part is the inventory of items from the book, 5 swords, 7 daggers, 3 axes, and 3 hammers.
-
That would indicate to click those areas the same number of times, the sword space 5 times, the dagger space 7 times, etc.
-
But that alone will not do what you need to do.
-
The word DASH also covers the first letters of each of the weapons, D - Daggers, A - Axes, S - Swords, and H - Hammers, so this indicates the order in which you should click.
-
Click the Dagger space 7 times, the Ax space 3 times, the Sword space 5 times, and the Hammer space 3 times.
-
If you click the spaces correctly, the rack will slide away revealing a small box with a code lock.
-
Click on the box for a close up.
-
Now we have dials, and they flash colors when they are clicked on. Notice the lines on the dials rotate with each click.
-
The first dial is green, the second dial is red, and the third dial is blue.
-
Have we seen those colors before?
-
Yes, on the books in the bookshelves.
-
Remember the positions of the books?
-
You need to move the dials to mimic the positions of the books, so the green dial needs to be pointing down and to the right (about 5:00 position), the red dial needs to be pointing down and to the left (the 7:00 position), and the blue dial needs to be pointing straight down (the 6:00 position).
-
If you enter the code correctly the box will open to reveal...is that a happy coin?
-
Take the coin and back up.
-
Now what?
Getting Out
-
Turn right (or left) twice to face the demonic eye.
-
Whoa, not an eye anymore! Now it's vampiric teeth!
-
Click on the teeth and you will have a conversation with...whatever that thing is.
-
Apparently you have collected the Talismans of Tarot, so now you need its help getting out.
-
All you have to do is take up arms against the crown, simple.
-
You already have a sword, now you just need a crown!
-
There is a crown on the happy coin.
-
Pull up the happy coin and use the sword on it. This will deface the coin.
-
Use the defaced coin on the demonic eye and it will give you a key. Take the key.
-
Turn right to the door. Use the key on the door. Oh noes, a brick wall!
-
Turn left to face the demonic eye. Use the sword on the eye.
-
Four symbols fly out of the eye. Aren't those the symbol we saw in the book?
-
According to the book, each symbol is a question.
-
There are four symbols, a grumpy symbol, a morose symbol, an arrogant symbol, and a cheerful symbol.
-
According to the book the answers are the grail, the stick, the sword, and the coin.
-
But what is the question?
-
The answers are in the book, in the last page.
-
Note the double underlines underneath the word ANSWERS. It highlights NSWE.
-
The E underneath the rug with the arrow points to the demonic eyeball, which is E.
-
From there you can determine the locations of everything else: Eyeball is E, Fireplace is N, grindstone is W, and the trunk is S.
-
You have to place the items in the order you see them in the book, cup, stick, sword, coin.
-
Turn left to the fireplace (north) and place the cup in the cheerful symbol.
-
Turn right (or left) twice to the trunk (south) and place the stick in the morose symbol.
-
Turn right to the grindstone (west) and place the sword in the arrogant symbol.
-
Turn right (or left) twice to the eyeball (east) and place the coin in the grumpy symbol.
-
If you place the items you have escaped. Unfortunately, so has the demon.
-
Um, yay?
The Wizard People Dear Reader reference was a nice touch
It would be a whole lot better if it didn't bug up on me (with a talisman going out but not registering and leaving me stuck) during the talisman part.
Otherwise, I enjoyed it a bit. Nothing new, but it's fair.
Good one. Not any harder than what we get on weekday escape. Which is to say, I had to use the walkthrough!
I admit that I had to rely on Grinny for this one as well - I did manage to bumble through a lot of it without the walkthrough, but the last bit was just too much for me.
Nothing new, and a tad illogical at the end, but excluding the end, the rest of the game was okay.
This being the only game in the CGDC #10 that has used the basic "escape the room" structure, I think it will land 4th in the competition. While there are too many others trying be avant garde and missing the mark because of incomplete innovations, This is fun game but didn't create enough of an impact to land in the top three. Well done though!
Well this one I enjoyed....
I had to resort to a little hint about the order to place the answers to the floating 'questions'. Other than that, it was fine.
This is the first game in CGDC in which I have felt challenged. On to the next. Wonder if it will compare?
Uhm... I am extremely embarrassed to ask such a thing but... honestly, I am having trouble using my flat piece of wood where it should go. I can't seem to make the two things combine to go to its proper place. Tried clicking everything and it really feels strange, as nothing happens as (I thought) it should. Help?
Komatsu.yurika -
Pull up the flat piece of wood from your inventory so that it is in close up. While it is open, use the rope on it, it should combine into one object. Once that is done, close it down, then use it on the bottom of the grindstone assembly and it should slot in as the new foot pedal.
Very nice. I spent far too long overthinking those symbols though. (Does anyone know why they had emotional descriptors? I built up a whole theory based on them, which turned out to be completely wrong.)
Also, is the "happy looking" coin a bit of a shout out to Tesshi-e?
Hi Daibhid. Glad you liked it. To answer your questions - I gave them descriptions so you could tell it wasn't the same symbol floating around (also - I found the idea of the exact same symbols looking morose and cheerful strangely amusing). It appears I inadvertently created a huge red herring for some people. Whoops! >:-)
And the "happy looking" coin is definitely a shout out to Tesshi-e - who I consider the patron saint of room escapes.
For someone who is not a huge fan of the escape genre, I liked this one. Yes, I needed the walkthrough a time or two (final puzzle anyone?), but I don't think you should be apologetic about the red herring--it was actually really clever, intentional or not. My biggest issue was with figuring out the controls--which took about 2 seconds longer than expected--and then I was fine.
For me, the story was enough fun that I am quite excited to see what happens in Chapter 2! So while it was "nothing new" in terms of gameplay as some have mentioned, it appealed to the dungeon crawler in me--what's next? Wondering if the next episode could have some RPG elements thrown in for good measure! WOOT! That would make for an exceptional game! :D
OK...I will leave you, poor developer, alone and not try to force my ideas on you!
Hi dsrtrosy. Thanks for the feedback! Comments like that are incredibly motivating for the creation of Part 2 (which I will start working on after the results are in, and not before, as my saintly, long suffering partner has insisted after the all-nighter bughunts I did for part one)
Now I've got my framework sorted I can hopefully push a bit more at the boundaries of the traditional room escape. RPG elements...hmmmm :-)
Fun. As always I needed the walkthrough especially for the floating symbols.
One suggestion. For the text screens at the beginning, give a Next button so the player can advance as soon as they have read it. It seems like a small thing, but I found it quite annoying to have to wait.
What magic wand is being talked about in the walkthrough!? i didn't find one at all, and there isn't one being talked about being found in the walkthrough except for the point where you apparently need it to interact with the book in the very beginning! Help! How'm i supposed to find this supposed wand, and why isn't it anywhere in the game!?
You get the wand by sharpening the blunt stick.
This stands in the walkthrough at "Demonic eye" too.

Turn left to the fireplace (north) and place the cup in the cheerful symbol.
Turn right (or left) twice to the trunk (south) and place the stick in the morose symbol.
Turn right to the grindstone (west) and place the sword in the arrogant symbol.
Turn right (or left) twice to the eyeball (east) and place the coin in the grumpy symbol.
If you place the items you have escaped. Unfortunately, so has the demon.
Um, yay?
