Submachine: 32 Chambers
In Submachine 4, there was a note mentioning thirty-two chambers filled with sand. Somehow, you've gotten teleported into this subterranean world. Do you need to escape? Or is there some higher purpose that's summoned you here? In addition to the obvious sand, Submachine: 32 Chambers evokes the exploration mood associated with sandbox games. There's no obvious goal at first; you need to figure that out yourself. Submachine: 32 Chambers was fully worthy of its prizes, and you won't want to miss it.

I can't get it to work :(((
Zero, where is the "stick that moves"?
So...
At the end, where 21/12/2012 is turned into 21/12/7something, this means that the apocalypse is delayed another 5 thousand years?
According to the Mayans, their biggest calendar does run every 5125 years, so this makes sense- that machine delayed the end of the world (if it's even true).
But why? What does this have to do with Submachine? Apparently you got there by the teleporter, but did the Mayans intend you to do this? Do the Mayans have anything to do with Submachine?
A lot of questions...
By the way, kudos to Zero-K for the walkthrough. I was too scared to try to finish it myself.
My walkthrough from the competition page.
Submachine: 32 Chambers Walkthrough

Go left.
-
You can drag the gate here open by clicking and holding on the gate and then moving the mouse up (in case you don't know what I mean by dragging).

Go left.
-
Go up by clicking the top of the steps that appeared here.
-
Use the *Autumn Bacab Plate* *Summer Bacab Plate* *Winter Bacab Plate* and *Spring Bacab Plate* in the four rectangular holes in the middle of this circle. (Note: there is a specific hole for each so a plate doesn't go in, try another hole.)
-
Rotate the circle with all the plates until the "arrow' carved into it points up (the circle will snap into place at this point.)
-
Place all the *Jadeite* in the arrow shaped holes along the second outermost circle.
-
Rotate this circle until the one piece of jadeite with a "box" around it points up. (This box is hard to see so look for the one piece of jadeite that sticks out the most).
-
Rotate the next circle in until each of the holes on it match with the holes on the circle with the jadeite. (If it doesn't snap, rotate it until a new one is connecting to each hole, and continue until it snaps).
-
Now place the *Topaz* into each of the new holes. Finally, rotate the face in the center so it is right-side up.
-
If you have trouble with rotating the circles correctly, just make a tiny rotation, let go, and make another tiny rotation, until it snaps into place.
-
Congratulations! You have completed the Game!
[Edited for publication, thanks - Grinnyp]
great game!
as usual.
I found this game almost disappointingly short and easy, especially as a couple of the previous Submachine games have been rather complicated and hard to solve. That aside, the aesthetics, atmosphere and all artistic features are great as usual. Hope the next one from Skutnik isn't very far away.
*heading over to the Exploration Experience again*
it won't load. i only get a black screen.
[Update your Flash Player and disable any browser extensions. -Jay]
This was an easier one, I got though it with out help...;o) not the usual for me, or maybe i'm getting used to them. Great looking game all round.
*sigh* updated my flash and it still won't load. the ONE game I can't play. darnit.
[Next try disabling your browser extensions. Ad blockers are usually the cause of something like this. -Jay]
Did anyone figure out what co-ordinates to put into the teleporter at the beginning? I think there might be an easter egg there...
What fun! Mateusz scores again! Thanks!
So far no one has made a "Enter The 32 Chambers" joke? I am disappoint.
Excellent game, and the Mayan calander gag was clever.
Regarding the question of how this is connected to the rest of the Submachine, beyond the teleporter at the start; well, it's not entirely clear how the various Submachines are connected in general, but there's elements here that are remeniscent of Sub 0 and the Tomb Traps and Ancient Section from Sub 4. So presumably this is part of the same thing, a Submachine network that long predates the punch-card teleporter from Sub 5, let alone the current setup.
(Then again ... the SubNet Exploration Experience suggests that the Ancient Adventure isn't exactly what it appears to be...)
Gotta admit, when the portal generator broke, I kinda panicked.
Still, awesome game overall.
I moved the
jadeite ring
too soon. Now I can't move the
seasons' circle.
Any suggestions?
I want to say one thing: I'm not surprised this won 1st place. welp, back to wo- I mean, school.
Well, this is odd....
I can't seem to put any of the topazes in even though the second ring's locked in place
-_- wow i cant believe that was that reference at the end
the 2012 doomsday
i can not seem to go down in the room behind the grate to get the weight stone. Is anyone else having this problem.
This is tagged as "pastelstories" but I think it should be "pastelgames", no?
[Yes, you are correct. Thank you for pointing it out, it should be fixed now. -Jay]
anon- I'm having a similar problem. But for me, the sponsors (Armor games and all that) all show up, the ad plays, but the grayed-out bar that says "Play Game" is refusing to fill. I played all of the other games today and yet this one still doesn't load. I do have NoScript but I've been temporarily allowing the whole page, and it STILL doesn't work!
I am a huge Submachine fan- any ideas to help?
I read the walkthrough and finally got past those darn dials with the missing pieces...but I have no idea where the answers to them came from. How did you figure it out?
good game
The doomsday spoof was cool
i cant find the moving stick does anyone know where it is
Well, he says to himself. I had fun, sort of. Can't figure out how to save these games. Im at the rings. I have all the gem stones I need. Jadeites are in place. After an initial jigging of the center disk, nothing...
I'm burning out trying to get this. Fun... fading...
Okay. It didn't take me long to figure the few final tricks. You've got to 'drag' the wheels (press and hold mouse button, while dragging) and there's a first step and a second step and you will have to get the first step right before you can drag the second, inner wheel, into place. And you've got to line things up just right. Now you know what you need to know to finish.
I love these games, even though there are moments when I'm not having fun. ;-)
