I think this is the best room I have played yet when it comes to the puzzles themselves. Well done!

Spleen Jul 23, 2023 @ 10:38pm

Key in the 3 digit box in room 1 fell and seemed to disappear for me, it was inside the skirting board at the base of the wall.

Other than that a very fun room

Awesome room. I love it. I found it quite difficult.
Thank you very much Xanthum.

omnilynx May 6, 2023 @ 11:14pm

I found revenge! Thanks for the room!

Xanthum [author] Mar 12, 2023 @ 10:13am

I added it to the guide, I thought it was already in there.

SwanL Mar 12, 2023 @ 10:03am

Arrrrgh. Thx @Xanthum

Xanthum [author] Mar 12, 2023 @ 9:20am

SwanL: There is a button in the middle of the wagon wheel.

SwanL Mar 12, 2023 @ 7:49am

Someone in the comments mentioned that the crate was supposed to move at some point . I have not seen that.

SwanL Mar 12, 2023 @ 7:48am

Either it's just me or room 3 is broken. I've done everything correctly including placing the dagger and the sword in the correct positions . Nothing happens. I'm stuck with a key and nowhere to place it. Could it be possible that the most recent game update broke the room/map? Strange.... This problem is similar to what I've read that others are experiencing with the key and no place to put it.

Really nice room!

Xanthum [author] Jun 7, 2022 @ 6:04pm

Updated to add a few zooms and hopefully fix some issues from the new update. If you have a problem, let me know.

Xanthum [author] Apr 6, 2022 @ 9:47am

The hint guide is there if you get frustrated. It starts off subtle and eventually spells out the answer, so you can get as little or as much help as you like.

I pretty close to gave up on the second room until my eyes finally knew what I was looking at. Other than completely missing the answer to tea time, I didn't have too much trouble. Both those two cost me a lot of time looking around.

SkayoDev Mar 5, 2022 @ 3:51am

I really didn't expect the time travel plot , so it was a huge surprise! Great map and great puzzles!

Xanthum [author] Mar 2, 2022 @ 4:54am

The clue on the piece of paper gives the orientation and the Hint Guide spells it out if needed. Hopefully, you enjoyed the rest of the map.

Donald Duck Mar 1, 2022 @ 8:21pm

The tea time was very confusing. I kept trying the time that I saw when I held the cup and then finally watched a video on how to solve it. It ended up being a different orientation for where the hands were placed.

Xanthum [author] Feb 17, 2022 @ 6:57pm

I've updated the map to take advantage of some of the new features of the latest update and a few minor changes. No major puzzle changes, just a bit of polish.

Xanthum [author] Feb 17, 2022 @ 12:15pm

Okay, the map should at least be functional now, I'll be making a few improvements with the new options.

Xanthum [author] Feb 17, 2022 @ 11:21am

WARNING: Some changes are needed because of the update. Currently can't complete.

AlleyCrawler Feb 14, 2022 @ 8:54pm

Great room!

Broder Rotfrukt Feb 11, 2022 @ 5:10am

Nice one!

Xanthum [author] Feb 6, 2022 @ 8:37pm

@hydra It's always frustrating when the game breaks on its own. Glad it wasn't too much of a hassle. I added the warps when someone else got stuck in the last room, so it's nice they came in handy.

hydra Feb 6, 2022 @ 8:28pm

Really enjoyed this one in co-op! Took 2 people about an hour and 15 min. Unfortunately something warped through the floor in the very end, game engine limitation, no fault to the map itself. It was really great that you added in warps because we had to restart and the warps made it easy to get right back into it.

Great puzzles, didn't have to make too many logic jumps and great mix of finding the hidden objects.

Xanthum [author] Feb 5, 2022 @ 7:20am

@Jonah Glad you liked it. I can see how it can be a bit annoying, my hope is that most people clear it before having to listen to it for too long.

Sleeping Lion Tavern (FATES) Feb 5, 2022 @ 4:04am

@Xanthum
My partner and I really enjoyed the room, loved the effects for time traveling, really cool idea about the time loop with the bomb, the high pitched beeping noise got a bit annoying but maybe because we took a while to figure it out. Definitely added to the suspense though.

Xanthum [author] Feb 4, 2022 @ 9:22pm

Drawers be like that. I was having to choose between letting people get to the drawers contents before it's open or possibly getting stuck when it opens. I've put in a final fix that solves both problems.

Dr. Tran Feb 4, 2022 @ 7:56pm

Found a little bug in the very first room. if you stand right up against the desk with the gramophone when you place the record, you can get stuck on the drawer that opens and have to restart.

Xanthum [author] Jan 27, 2022 @ 1:33am

@daedagor I just tested the egypt area using the skip room. I was able to finish the map. To be clear, the portal is a small window that appears on the back wall (opposite the door). Not sure why it didn't work for you. If you got that far, then all you missed was the explanation of what happened. There are no more puzzles. I hope you enjoyed the rest of the map anyway.

Daedagor Jan 26, 2022 @ 10:16pm

I have the 6 bombs but no portal spawned, I hear the noise but there is no visual and the bombs have nowhere to go and I cannot finish the map.

Xanthum [author] Jan 24, 2022 @ 4:08am

Glad you figured it out. If anyone gets stuck, feel free to use the Hint Guide. The hints start vague and then eventually just give the answer. Not everyone thinks the same way, sometimes things just don't click. I also have a hidden stuff guide in case you get frustrated searching for bits.

lanabananas Jan 23, 2022 @ 9:36pm

Nvm just got it, really confusing though

lanabananas Jan 23, 2022 @ 9:36pm

Yeah we are stuck on the mirror. Tried everything lol

Tea Jan 23, 2022 @ 3:21pm

The puzzle room was really fun to play with friends. I also enjoyed the environment and mood the room brought. I felt like a detective in a old period time it was great. I hope for more to come soon!!

RealAsianpride Jan 19, 2022 @ 3:35pm

Really cool and fun room! I like how challenging it is, but it's doable. I surprisingly got through almost all of it without hints and went through it in a breeze. The only thing I got stuck on was the staging room with the number code. I was close to the idea but was thrown off. Those type of riddles mess me up. Then I got lost with the pyramid statue things until I saw a hint that the clues were on the side

Xanthum [author] Jan 18, 2022 @ 7:28pm

I added a guide that shows most of the hidden locations.

Xanthum [author] Jan 18, 2022 @ 6:33am

Yeah, I think I'll have less hidden objects in the future or a way to show where they are on a button press or something.

Autumn Light Jan 18, 2022 @ 2:48am

I had to look up lots of hints, and it took me forever to find that third figurine. But the rooms are good. Enjoyed it.

DIDI Jan 17, 2022 @ 3:35pm

The puzzle you made was so much fun. Please make more games. Thank you.

Xanthum [author] Jan 17, 2022 @ 2:35pm

@cielidor No problem, glad you got there. I did leave it labeled as a button, but that's easy to miss.

Cielidor Jan 17, 2022 @ 2:33pm

I figured it out! I did not realize that the center of the wheel was a button. Thanks!

Cielidor Jan 17, 2022 @ 2:20pm

If you're talking about putting the sword and dagger at the 3:45 clock position on the wheel on the wall, I already did that. I did not see anywhere to put the key after completing that; I tried putting it in the middle of the wheel seeing that it was sort of yellow, but it wouldn't accept it.

Xanthum [author] Jan 16, 2022 @ 4:56pm

@cielidor if you solve the weapons puzzle you should have a place to put the key.

Cielidor Jan 16, 2022 @ 3:53pm

I cannot for the life of me find where to use the key in the third room. I see no key holes anywhere.

Xanthum [author] Jan 16, 2022 @ 8:48am

I'm glad most people are enjoying it. Thank you for playing.

Victor Jan 16, 2022 @ 2:19am

Really funny room. Awesome work!

AAaaaAAAA Jan 14, 2022 @ 9:11am

very memorable room! wont forget about this one for awhile <3

Xanthum [author] Jan 14, 2022 @ 6:45am

I spent a lot of time on the looping part trying to get it to do what I wanted, glad you enjoyed it.

daddy Jan 14, 2022 @ 1:33am

This was very fun! Great room! :)

YeppeoGumiho Jan 13, 2022 @ 7:55pm

@Xanthum We were a party of three. ^-^

Xanthum [author] Jan 13, 2022 @ 7:52pm

@YeppeoGumiho Nice! How many did you play with?
