The new Weekday Escape is here to brighten long, dark, winter evenings!
Amajeto wishes happy birthday to you but if you don't have any these days you can play too. Nice. Then you get trapped in tomoLaSiDo's living room with many caskets but won't get anything to drink. An island point'n'click adventure by Scriptvile follows. It's a nice reminder of old school adventures which we don't get often. In Rinnogogo's latest game, beautiful, clever and joyful, you need to track down ten mice and put them back into their cage.
Have a good time and enjoy!
Happy birthday from Amajeto to whoever's having one this season! The birthday person from the game is lucky indeed - so many beautifully packed presents! Hopefully the content of the presents is beautiful (or useful) too. Others (not celebrating birthday) can play nice game at least...

Escape Challenge 123: Room with Wine Corks
It's not just corks what tomoLaSiDo wants you to find; around their room are scattered some bottle caps, too. Besides obligatory capsules with key parts, of course. Both corks and caps go into the same items slot and you're supposed to get ten of those. Bottle stoppers are many and casks of various sizes are also numerous but not even a small bottle can be found! Maybe they were there before...and the stoppers and empty casks are all what was left....you know, you're not the first escaper from this room...
The cursor isn't changing, no save, one ending.
You woke up on the coast of a small island and all you can recall is a furious night storm. Your small brave boat brought unconsciousness yourself to the dry land and fell apart then...just few planks are floating in the tide. From this moment you're on your own - you need to explore the island and figure out how to leave it. The path to the island's core heads north and if you're brave enough follow it but be prepared for anything. Everybody knows that deserted islands could be hiding anything including extinct life forms and the Scriptvile's one isn't an exeption...
The cursor is changing, autosave, one ending.
Rinnogogo's little old man - yes the one with the passion for costumes - is in trouble. His ten mice escaped. You decide to find and catch them as the reward is the key from exit gate...seems you have no choice anyway. The place you need to explore is quite large and the ten mice almost as cunning as notorious Escape-Men...and are intensively enjoying their life outside the cage, most of them seem happy in the moment you discover them (not so much after the captivation). Their freedom for yours...
The cursor isn't changing, autosave, one ending.
The game is available for Android too.

Escape Challenge 123: Room with Wine Corks
Your celebration continues with wine… if you can find and uncork it!
Exploration
A large wine barrel rests under the window, and you can take a key piece and cork from it. The potted plant has a small barrel full of green stuff behind it.
Turn left. A table has lots of small barrels and a cork, while the machine on the left has a trapped key piece. The wall box has three colored shape buttons, and the picture on the right advertises corks and caps.
Turn left. To the right of the locked door, there's a wall clock, a wall box and two locked drawers. To the left is a knob with text on it telling you that it's one of those caps.
Turn left. A large barrel on the right doesn't seem to do anything. A wall shelf has four corks/caps in a glass case. The blue bin beneath has a clue paper. The large machine here has a very long numbered cork you can almost pull out all the way.
Under that machine, you find 2 blocks.
Enter the corridor leading to the toilet. After you sit down, look right, look up and look left, the wall tells you about that fabulous screw-cap opening posture.
Puzzles near the toilet
For the machine with the numbered cork:
After all those clicks, the final code is 223.
You get a cork (item).
For the wall shelf:
Viewed from the front, the corks and caps have the shapes
Rectangle Square Circle Circle
(3 2 0 0 clicks)
You get 4 corks.
Puzzles near the door
The clues are all over the room:
The blue bin, the wall clock, the table and the picture frame.
For the cap beside the door:
Follow the clue in the bin by clicking
LRRLLLRRRR
For the wall box:
The square appears at 1 on the clock, and the pentagon at 4, so the shapes on the buttons represent
142.
Take a key piece.
For the top drawer:
The barrels on the table are in groups of
3 5 4
Take a key piece and cap, and view a shape clue.
For the bottom drawer:
The gray circles on the picture are on the
LRLRL
Take a key piece and cap, and view a color clue.
Puzzles near the table
There's just one clue
in the drawers.
For the machine:
You can dislodge the capsule by using the long cork on the right hole.
It falls to the left hole, but is too big for it.
No problem! Use the long cork on the left hole too. The capsule rolls to the right but not far enough.
But in this position you can just pick up the capsule to get the key piece.
For the wall box:
Combining the clues in the drawers, you find that the circle, triangle, square appear above the colors
Red Blue Yellow
(2 3 1 clicks)
Take the horn.
Bonus
Place your items on the huge barrel beside the toilet entrance:
The blocks go on the two lower small squares, and the horn goes on the top-right small square.
Then use the clue from
the room
to solve that puzzle:
Counting the barrels, you find
Red: 1 on table
Blue: 1 on table, 1 outside toilet
Yellow: 2 on table, 1 on drawers
Green: 1 on table, 1 behind pot
which adds up to the clue

There's some fanfare, and then you slowly collect the last cork while the wine gushes onto the floor.
Leave with the entire key piece and all the corks!

Clickventure: Castaway
Since this instruction is only available before you start the game, I'll repeat it once more: Right-click to open your inventory.
Starting out
You'll notice that there are eye icons on most things, which may or may not produce a description when hovered/clicked. On the other hand, a gear icon means the object is usable.
So for example, on this screen the tree and planks will certainly be important later, but for now you can only pick up the salt rock on the left.
But that's not all! There's an exit to this screen at the top.
The homestead is just two houses and a well. And you're not even allowed to hop in the window!
Go north to an empty campfire pit beside a tree root above a deep hole. Take a knife and wire.
From the homestead, go east to an area surrounded by thorns, some of which are blocking a bright red toadstool. An adventurer seems to warn you away from a dark cave, and you manage to search him to find a key.
Right-click for inventory, and use your key to unlock the right house.
There are three tables in this house, one with a mortar, one with a pot and a pan, and one with a bag full of onions. The game only lets you take one onion.
Don't miss the key on the right windowsill.
Along the walls you see drawers with matches in them, an empty vial and a bottle of olive oil, and a long wooden brush leaning against a bookcase.
Use the new key to unlock the left house.
Next to an empty table, a spider has set up a web beside a pile of rubbish. Take the axe from the right.
Pickup
Use the brush to clear out the rubbish, revealing a locked trapdoor.
This leaves the stick and hammer on the floor.
Use the stick and wire on the table in the left house to craft an improvised hook.
Use the improvised hook in the well to pull out a bucket of water.
The game insists that you not just pick up the whole thing, so use your knife to detach the rope from the water bucket.
Depth
Tie the rope to the tree root, and descend into the pit.
You find some dried vegetation, an unlit torch, a miner goblin, and
a broken ladder in front of it all.
Flammable
Empty your bucket into the pot (in the right house), then use it to pick up the dried vegetation.
Also use the axe to cut down the small tree on the first screen.
The log is too heavy to carry, but if you pick the axe up and chop it again, you get chopped wood that fits better in your inventory.
Place the dried vegetation on the campfire pit and light it with the matches, then add the wood.
Finally, you can light the torch on the fire.
One last step: you don't want to be carrying the lit torch around the cave.
So use the torch on the thorn nearest to the entrance, which holds it for you.
Cavern
Fear not, the beast is trapped safely behind a rock cave-in for now.
Take a wooden box and dead bat from the ground and a sickle hanging on a chain. The only feature remaining in this cave is a crack in the wall on the left.
Deadly / Lively
Use the sickle to remove the thorns blocking the toadstool outside the cave.
Also use the box to scoop up the spider from the left house. Phew, it's dead.
Mix a soup with the water (in the pot), the spider and the toadstool.
As indicated by the name, you'll need to pick the pot up and place it over the campfire to cook it.
And since it's super-dangerous, you have to scoop it up with the vial.
Now you know what the other four ingredients are for the dish.
Grind the salt in the mortar and add it to the dish.
Also throw in the olive oil, onion… and a dead bat. Whoever said this was for humans?
Okay, let's not mess up these two. The nutritious meal goes to the goblin, who puts his pickaxe down.
The poison goes to the beast, who vanishes after taking a sip.
Deeper
Use the pickaxe to clear out the rocks where the beast was. It's another cave entrance!
This cave path immediately ends at a wide ravine with water below.
The bottom-right pebble on the left is a loose rock that hides a key.
Unlock the trapdoor in the left house. There's another empty table, and you can pick up some nails and a bug net from the ground.
Crafty
Use the net at the shore to get the floating wooden planks.
Then place the ladder, planks, nails and hammer on the table in the basement.
Take your fixed ladder and use it to bridge the ravine.
And you're out the other side! Unfortunately, the boat is missing a paddle.
Maybe you can find one in the tent?
A shirt, a sock, an apple, a shoe, some paper, the other sock, some dynamite, the other shoe, some pants, and the rest is rubbish.
Wait, what was that in the middle? Take the explosives!
Payout
Use the explosives to blow up the cave wall near the beast, and light it with the matches.
Boom! (That's quite the short fuse.) Take the gold that falls out.
The gold is useless to you, but you can give it to the goblin to fulfill his rich dreams.
He rewards you with a shovel.
That's an adequate paddle! Use the shovel on the boat, and escape.
I decided to check out the official walkthrough video for Castaway, just because. Turns out it's a pretty impressive speedrun of the game.
It's approximately 3 minutes long. My personal best is 15 seconds shorter.
Thanks KK. walkthroughs were awesome as usual. Canlt wait fr the Rinogogo one that;s left

Take a claypot.
💡 room with white door ②
The picture tells you to start a hotpot.
Fill the claypot in the water cooler, then place the stove on the table, light it, and place the claypot.
Wait for it to boil (which means turning right/left and turning back).
There's a mouse enjoying a hot bath! Save the mouse by capturing it.
The water's too hot for you, so turn off the stove and "wait".
The pot cools down, and you can take the yellow key.
As you're about to leave, the game tells you that there's nothing else to do in this room!
Yellow
There's a table and two chairs in front of a numbered window. The left chair cushion hides a mouse. The shelf on the left has many items and a mouse getting drunk.
Turn around. There's a picture of the screen you just saw, as well as a cool painting with a box under the palette, and a locked black cabinet along the left wall.
