Picture puzzle

[SourPickles]

Hey! I am having issues with the mansion picture puzzle. I cannot try and put it together at all. The timing is so quick is flips back to the way it was within 3-5 seconds. I have looked through walkthroughs but a lot of them are old and dont start where the game does now. I really love this game so much! I just wanna figure this part out so I can keep playing!!! Its the third photo i need to collect to start the game off with! Someone please help!!

Hello, how are you, in order to reach you in time, each piece must be solved in a specific order. The direction in which you turn the pieces is important.
If you still can't, send an email to [e-mail] and we'll help you.

Hey! I did send an email about it a few days ago! I have tried as many different combos as I can.. I have been at this for hours.

You are not the only one who can't reach it in time. I complained about that too quick time puzzle last year and got the same answer. Dear Developers : We are not all "Speedy Gonzales", the fastest mouse of mexico.This isn't a puzzle for a horror game in my opinion. More for an event like solving the magic cube as fast as you can.

It definitely has killed the pacing for me and the only reason i have not played such a fantastic atmospheric game in a while. Maybe we'll luck out and be able to switch such puzzles on and off in the options for those of us who are more into exploring a cursed and haunted setting.

I have the answer to solve the puzzle - but again... i cant finish it in time. I get one tick away from completion and it resets! I sent a video to the creators in hopes they can help!

Thanks for the big hint cmarsh1335 Will see if i can figure it out with what you have mentioned. Cheers!

I can give you another hint... Its okay if you turn a cog out of order a bit when you are switching to the right one.. I literally held the key down for turning the first three in the right direction and flipped to get them in order quickly and switched direction for the last. If anyone wants more information on how to.. you can PM me. I just am not gonna post the answer through here cause thats not fair! hahah :)

For the final version we are going to put a little more time because we came to the conclusion that it is very difficult to solve, and besides it is the first puzzle.
We like the critics, they help us to improve the experience. During these years we have modified the development several times taking into account some constructive comments that have been made.
Initially Project Nightmares was going to be much smaller, but as many people liked it and were encouraging us, giving us opinions and ideas, we decided to enlarge and modify the game.

I have a question. Are you playing it with keyboard or with a gamepad? =)

[Hellbishop]

Fantastic to hear about the future changes to the first puzzle. Thanks very much for the positive and motivating reply which as we see goes both ways

Am playing on keyboard and mouse since am horrible using a gamepad and for the life of me cannot figure out how my friends can use one so well on their console systems :)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN month! and send my regards to Henrietta

I am playing the game with a keyboard. And I didn't succeed with the old mansion picture puzzle yet too. There are colors to match, but I am not still able to find the solution.

Oh, I succeded with the picture puzzle! I had to be very quick with the good order. Yay!

Ah, really ? What a surprise. But there are people they have problems with "to be very quick". For example: ME ;-)

Indeed, same here. That puzzle has stopped me completely in my tracks from progressing any further. Hoping this will change as the game reaches completion and release.

Ijust found that explanation of the puzzle: Each cog is on a timer. To solve this puzzle you need to first turn each nob and listen to the metronome tick in the background. One is 8 ticks, One is 6, One is 5 and the last is very short about 3 ticks. Simple turn them all clockwise in order of longest first. Easy.

Thanks much appreciated Michael K. Night

Nevertheless impossible for me, no way to make it in time. The coordination of the different arrow keys to choose between the right plate which to move and then choosing the correct direction to turn these plate was not made for normal people - you must be a finger acrobat otherwise you're lost. A pity, the graphic looks very good. To build in such a riddle into a horror adventure is absolutely outrageous and then....you don't even get your money back.

Thanks for the info. Sorry it did not work out. Have yet to try the method out this weekend. Pretty frustrating aspect to have especially at the very start of the game. Don't know why there is no option to skip it since so many people are having issues with it.
