Otomaco: Last Jade Journey
Heard about Otomaco? Apparently it's a legendary city that everyone and their orc wants to get to. And, as part of a merry band of weird looking heroes, so do you. But when sudden capture puts a damper on your journey, it's up to you to free your companions and escape in this flawed-but-fun point-and-click adventure from the creators of the Tortuga series.

As always, I needed a walkthrough for this. Hints:
Red is the color of the sun.
You Have To Burn The Rope
I want his bracelet!
You Have To Stop The Axe
I was really looking forward to playing this - yay, Pastel Games! I loved Mandrake and this game has great art also.
Then halfway through playing, suddenly an item I had found disappeared on me.
The sapphire. I left it on the machine and when I came back from looking around it was gone. I couldn't finish the game without the sapphire.
Lovely game, frustrating I couldn't play all of it because of the glitch.
I had the same glitch.
Fortunatly it doesn't ake long to redo your progress, but still
Ok I am stuck. I have the [spoiler] hay, saphire - used in the moving altar to show signs on wall, 2 diamonds - from eyes of statue, and steel rod from statue. [/spoiler]
and now I cant seem to get any further.
[spoiler] I tried to ignite the hay on the altar, but it didn't work and now I can't get the hay back [/spoiler]
a less cryptic hint would be appreciated
OOps used the wrong spoiler tags. Those are the ones from tribal wars. But I can't see how to edit my post... sorry.

Otomaco Walkthrough
General Information
-
When you are in the "wider" view of the jail cell, navigate by moving the cursor to either side of the screen. The scene will spin in either direction a full 360 degrees.
-
Watch for cursor changes to indicate hotspots.
-
Some hotspots do not have cursor changes, so there will be some pixel hunting.
-
You can control time with the little sundial looking thing in the upper right of the screen. The top, or 12 o'clock position brings the sun, the bottom, or 6 o'clock position brings the moon.
-
Once you are in a close up scene, you can move back simply by clicking at the bottom of the screen.
-
Good luck!
Exploring the Cell
-
Once the cut-scene is over you will find yourself in a jail cell facing a wooden door. Click on the door for a close up.
-
Just to the right of the stairs is some straw on the ground. Take it.
-
Back up.
-
Scroll to the left until you see a statue with its hands raised up.
-
Click on the statue for a close up.
-
Once you are in close up, click on each of the statue's eyes to take them.

Scroll to the left until you see a window high up on the wall.
-
Click on the window for a close up.

Notice that there are three holes in the bars, each one covered. You can "open" one of these holes at a time.
-
Also make note of the orange thing in the tree outside. Pity you can't reach it.
-
Back up.
-
Continue scrolling left until you see an old guy (elf?) sitting up against the wall. Click on the guy for a close up.
-
You can scroll to a limited extent in this close up, from the window on the right to the markings on the floor on the left.
-
To the left of the old guy is what looks like a little altar on the ground. Notice the markings and the "path" in front of it.
-
Click on the lower left of the altar and you can move it to the left. Click on the lower right of the altar and you can move it to the right.
-
There are three markings on the floor, corresponding to the three holes in the bars. To the far left is a sun, in the middle is a moon, and on the right (covered by the altar) is a symbol that looks like fire.
-
Back up.
-
Continue scrolling to the left until you are nearly back at the door. You should see a big circular doorway and a guard. Click on the circular thing for a close up.
-
In the circular doorway is a ring of red symbols, and a red gem. Take the gem.
-
Back up.
-
You've now explored the entire cell. Time to try to escape.
Freeing the Big Guy
-
Scroll to the right until you are looking at the old guy against the wall.

Click on the old guy for a close up.
-
Place the red gem and the straw on top of the altar.

Scroll to the right until you can see the window, then click on the window.
-
Click on the bottom hole on the bars to open it (the altar is at the bottom notch on the floor, depicting fire).
-
Back up.
-
You want the sun to come through the hole, so click on the sundial at the 11 o'clock position to change the time.
-
Wait for the sunlight to come through, it will ignite the straw.
-
Back up and scroll to the right until you see the sad guy chained to the wall.
-
Click on the sad guy for a close up, then use the burning straw on the ropes holding his arm.
-
Wait for the cut-scene as he gets loose.
-
When the cut-scene ends, the frightened guy is sitting by a doorway that he knocked open.
-
Before you go through the mysterious doorway, look closely at the rubble around the opening.
-
There are four small rocks here: One to the right and one to the left of the base of the right column, one to the left of the middle of the right column, and one near the bottom of the left column.
-
Take the rocks (note: the cursor changes to a hand when you pass over them, so they are fairly easy to spot).
-
Now click on the doorway to enter.
-
Creepy, a body.
-
On the body's left wrist is a bracelet with a large blue gem, take the gem.
-
Also take the shield that is laying on the body, and the spear that is against the wall.
-
Back up twice.
Getting the Codes

-
Open the top hole in the bars and back up.

Scroll to the left until the altar is in view.
-
Use the sundial to get the sun shining through again (click on the 11 o'clock position).
-
When the sun shines through the ruby, red symbols will appear on the stones on the wall. Note the symbols. These symbols change each time you play, so write them down.
-
Remove the red gem from the altar.
-
Place the blue gem on the altar and move it to the right until it is in the center slot (where the moon symbol is).
-
Scroll to the right and click on the window.
-
Now click on the center hole to open it.
-
While you are here, use the spear to get the orange fruit from the tree outside.
-
Back up and scroll to the left until you can see the altar.
-
Change the time on the sundial so that the moon is shining through the window (the 5 o'clock position).
-
Now blue symbols appear on the wall. Write them down, they change each time you play.
-
Sometimes one of the symbols will appear on the wall right behind the sundial, so look closely, it can be hard to see.
-
Take the blue gem from the altar.
-
Scroll right until you see the old guy against the wall.
-
Give the orange to the old guy and he will jump up.
-
Now that the old guy has moved you will see a stele against the wall. At the bottom of the stele is a representation of a head with a feathered headdress.

-
If you enter the symbols correctly the circular door will open.
-
Click on the open door to go through.
-
Icky, spiders!
-
Use the four rocks you picked up by the dead guy to kill the spiders. Click on the rock in your inventory, then click on a spider.
-
If you miss one of the spiders with a rock, you can always kill it with the spear.
-
Once all of the spiders are dead scroll to the left.
-
To the left of the swinging axe is a statue of a head with a hole where the mouth should be.
-
Use the steel rod on the hole in the statue to stop the axe. This may take several tries as the timing is tricky.
-
Once the axe is stopped click on the area behind it.
-
Once all your characters are in the circular area, click on the rubble above the doorway.
-
Ooops?!
-

Got out. I seemed to have a lot of trouble with not getting things to work the first time I tried to do it. But eventually, I did.
Either cursor-changing or not cursor-changing (I prefer the first alternative), but both? Not a very good concept.
Otherwise okay game, not as good as you'd expect from 3dpi though.
I had the same glitch too.
When I left the altar scene to get the orange, I returned to the altar to find my sapphire gone.
It was pretty easy for me. The only part I was stuck on and needed the walkthrough for was
When you had to burn the hay with the ruby and stone machine. I did not know that you were supposed to turn the clock to 11:00. But besides that Everything I did was perfect
This was an awesome games, but the characters looked a little funny.
shouldn't this game be tagged as a puzzle also?
This game has too many glitches. Items keep disappearing, mainly the red ruby thing. Seemed interested until I had to restart for the third time. Then I just gave up.
Lovely game - great graphics, really liked the guitar music, no pixel hunting.
Looking forward to the next chapter.
I just noticed that we didn't use the
shield?
I wonder why.
Love Love Love Pastelgames! And what a suspenseful ending!
I absolutely love the art, and the gameplay is quite fun (love the 'clock' thing) - I can't wait to see what happens. Of course I ended up with the excellent walkthrough (used the one by grinnyp and it was brilliant). The music is nice, and the little sound effects such as bored humming are great touches!( I hope this is a prologue and the storyline deepens a bit in the next installment.) I'm now a huge fan of Marek Frankowski and the team.
