Dark forest cemetery

hello RevererendTed and datenpfad - sorry u spend so much time struggling with my clumsy hints :) Yes, unfortunately there are lots of problems with this "puzzle thing" and i dont think i have original files to fix it even if i would have time. and i dont :( yes, its hard to deal with physics here. and the only thing that happens if u place sculls correctly is you get a neon lite on a door in front of the grave with one more line of narration, nothing else :) i started working on another puzle, but unfortunately dont have time to finish it :) if i ever do - i promise the puzzles will be easier!

I've spent more time than I want to on the skull puzzle. I would prefer hints to at least let me know I'm on the right track. I'm not convinced I'm attempting the correct actions.

I found all 6 skulls, and only with the help of the image link can correctly identify them.

Am I supposed to balance them on the 6 posts surrounding the grave? The physics really have a problem with that. I think I've tried all possible combinations and haven't seen anything happen. It's been years, maybe just post the solution, or update the map with hints and better lighting.

A few other things that got me hung up:
- I only found four skulls at first, but found the carrots, and assumed each could somehow fit the descriptions of the skulls. e.g. "Is this little carrot the 'small one'?"
- When I finally got stumped enough to look for an answer, I viewed these comments in the VR browser, which doesn't show spoiler tags OR URLs, so I had no idea there was a photo linked in your last comment
- The audio says that boar holds the place of lowest importance on the right, but somehow it gets switched with Nutria. I doubt I would have figured that out if I hadn't seen your post.

At any rate, I know it's been like two years but I dig the atmosphere and I like that you took a crack at making something interactive.

I spent an embarrassingly long time rearranging skulls without ever being successful.
"Which way is right and left? Is it as I'm looking at the tomb, or on the right\left hand of the corpse held within looking up?"
"Which way is "most important"? The one near the head, or the one on the tallest pedestal?"
Is the smallest skull the "small one", or is that one "broken nose"?

But for all the shuffling, the thing that eluded me until I saw your photo was I was confident about a few of them. Cow, obviously. I knew that nutrias have rodent teeth. But I was certain that "long snout" was the one with the longest snout...and never thought to try that one as "boar".

right side - closest to exit door small one, boar, nutria
left side - cow, long snot, broken nose

and another one - just find 2 carrots on a bench and bring it to entrance of forest, put it on a pole.

Hello, thanks for trying out my experiment :) yes the darkness is very tricky, and i do have a feeling (i cannot test it) that it depends on a headset you are using as well. i think next time i will just stay away from very dark areas, not sure how to make "right" darkness :) - and you give me a puzzle to sole as well - how to make hidden text the way you did it :)

This is really cool, but very very dark. The voiceover got me when it came on lol, nice atmosphere! I wasn't really able to solve the puzzle, maybe you can give me a hint? I listened to the voice over a few times, and I think I know what to do but not really. I think we have to find and place the skulls in the right place on those 6 stubs around the coffin, so the cow was the cow skull and I put it on the left one, and the other skulls I can sort of guess at, but am I missing something, or do I have the right idea? I think I found all of the skulls but except for one, does the skulls with the runes on it mean anything?

thank you! yes there where lots of back and forth with teleport mesh :) sadly the animation is not very smooth

Impressive. I liked the sounds and that and all the originality, like the special teleport mesh texture.
