ReplyDeleteAm I the only one here??? I sure hope not!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying it. My japanese is excellent!
ReplyDeleteGot a stick from the door.
I think we're going to have translation problems with this one...
ReplyDeleteSoft soil in the ground.
ReplyDeleteWire around the sink tap.
live?
ReplyDeleteDon't click on the left box when you get to the mushroom! You die!
ReplyDeleteOk, language could really be a problem here...
ReplyDeleteAt least i got some nippers? from a drawer.
And there are color codes... That we can solve, right?
@Molly
ReplyDelete...and kicking!
woot! I love lives haha
ReplyDeleteUse wirecutters from drawer on faucet.
@Edgar
ReplyDeleteSoft soil? Where? What did you do with it?
Stuck after getting the mushroom.
ReplyDelete@Andrew
ReplyDeleteWhere is that mushroom?
Ok, so I no VERY little japanese but I can still read a bit of this. The white button next to the body shape with all the red/green dot things says "resetto" aka, reset XD
ReplyDelete@Ellie
ReplyDeleteI'm just translating that, sorry. Stuck here... unable to use my inventory! Anyone likes to show me how?
nvm dragging!
ReplyDeletefound key behind bookshelf but can't get it
ReplyDelete@Andrew
ReplyDeletemushroom?
@Edgar
ReplyDeleteDrag an item into the screen as in many games :)
To view, click the white thing below it.
@Molly, use the pole that you find on the left side of the door. You drag from your inventory
ReplyDeleteKey behind brown cabinet, click right side, use stick to get it.
ReplyDeletethanks andrew!
ReplyDeleteGet the key with the stick. Don't eat the mushroom lol
ReplyDeleteNow, I have the mushroom.
ReplyDeleteUsed the key, got a watering can, poured water inside it from the tap, and poured the water on the log by the bed.
Good Ellie, now what?
ReplyDeleteIf you click on the mushroom it asks if you want to eat it. Say no or you die XD (the right button)
ReplyDeleteStar code right side of TV cabinet.
ReplyDeleteAnd other codes:
ReplyDeleteTriangle below couch pillow, Square on a book, pentagon on the wall above the mushroom.
Another clue on one leg of the computer table.
I guess there is a choice between a quick language course, or eating that mushroom to get out :)
Hello everyone! I can't believe it. I tried running around the room like last weeks game in Japanese (little Black Sambo) I think was the name of that old book. LOL,didn't work though!!!
ReplyDelete@Jadefox, I did that too!! Just in case, lol.
ReplyDelete30 comments and I can't believe you haven't got a Walkthrough up yet Ellie! This one must be hard!
ReplyDeleteLOL Edgar!
ReplyDeleteOk, since there's no way to understand the order of shapes from the hints, brute force is the plan B.
ReplyDeleteThe computer leg says something something "nadochirakanohiza" (Japanese doesn't use spaces so I have no idea where the spaces would go xD I also have no idea what the first two kana are because I don't know kanji yet...)
ReplyDeleteI thought that might help but it probably wont...
I'll start working on it @Jadefox, as soon as I understand this game lol.
ReplyDeleteThere is a sign on the table leg that reads "First is the knee from somewhere" which I think is a clue for the operation puzzle.
ReplyDeleteLanguage barrier is huge on this one, and apparently Japan's not on the internet yet.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you have to push the green buttons in a certain order or something.
ReplyDeleteall of them?
ReplyDelete@Rin @Molly
ReplyDeleteCan you understand what it says in the geometrical shapes clues?
lol Ellie, I know you will, but I didn't mean anything bad by that. I just meant that this must really be a hard game, cuz you guys really eat these games up quick. I hardly ever see you and Edgar and a few other people have a very hard time with a game.
ReplyDeletelol @Edgar, I'd like to see you brute force those green buttons. You might want to start with the knee... Thanks @Rin.
ReplyDeleteWonder where Sneaksnake is, we need his input.
ReplyDeleteThe sign with the pentagon says "next to the lawn"
ReplyDeletethere is a lawn/grass??
@edgar. I can read the some of the kana and put it in our alphabet, but I don't know what most of the words mean :/
ReplyDelete@Ellie, lol. I wasn't meaning me... maybe a little padawan out there?
ReplyDelete@Rin, I think we are looking for colors from those notes. Could it be green?
ReplyDeleteThank you @Jadefox, I know you didn't mean anything bad about it :)
Under the couch cushion the triangle sign says "for the use of Shaa".
ReplyDeleteno @Rin, but that could be color green. Keep translating please.
ReplyDeleteAnyone knows what/who Shaa is?
ReplyDeleteＭｏｒｅ ｃｌａｒｉｆｉｃａｔｉｏｎ ｏｆ ｔｈｅ ｔｒｉａｎｇｌｅ ｓｉｇｎ， Ｓｈａａ ｉｓ ａｃｔｕａｌｌｙ Ｃｈａｒ， ｔｈｅ Ｇｕｎｄａｍ ｃｈａｒａｃｔｅｒ．ＬＯＬ
ReplyDeleteClearer impossible @Rin
ReplyDeletethat would be red then
ReplyDeleteWell, Char the Gundam character has the title "the red comet", so I'll go with red for the triangle. Thanks @Rin!
ReplyDeleteClicking the comp monitor you get a message:
ReplyDelete"There are 4 methods of escape.
One is to escape by finding all the items.
One is to escape by solving the colour puzzle.
Two is to escape by solving the button puzzle. (this means the one near the door)
Well, Char attacked/used a WHITE base
ReplyDeletehas BLUE eyes and golden YELLOW hair.
Anything else?
just joining in... probably too late
ReplyDelete@JadeFox are you still here?
@Rin, sorry but... what about the star and the square?
ReplyDeleteI went to google to try to translate from Japanese to English (the sign on the wall next to man) and couldn't get anything.
ReplyDeletewhat does it say by the star/
ReplyDeletethe sign on the wall by the man just says reset
ReplyDelete@JadeFox, i looked at your profile last night or the night before.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Florence and I'm a Gemini, too! What are the odds???
Hi @zoz
ReplyDeleteNot too late at all :) We'll be here for a long time lol.
oh noooz, one of those, eh?
ReplyDeleteyes zoz, still here, but can't translate anything, still trying.
ReplyDeleteＴｈｅ ｓｔａｒ ｉｓ ”ｔｈｅ ｈａｎdｋｅｒｃｈｉｅｆ ｏｆ ｈａｐｐｙｎｉｅｓｓ”・
ReplyDeleteＷｈａｔ ｓｑｕａｒｅ？ｔｈｅ ｏｎｅ ｗｉｔｈ ｔｈｅ ３ ｏｒ ｉｎ the ｂｏｏｋｃａｓｅ？
R G B Y ....not proud
ReplyDeleteThe B is blue not black
ReplyDelete@jadefox, do you still live in Florence?
ReplyDeleteThanks @Martin!
ReplyDeleteI normally don't like brute forcing, but in this game it felt wonderful to open that box!
Ｂｏｏｋ ｗｉｔｈ ｓｑｕａｒｅ ｓｉｇｎ ｉｓ ”ｔｈｅ～ｆａｒｍ ｉｓ．．．”
ReplyDeleteOut with one of the endings!
ReplyDeleteUse the shovel from the color box below the sink.
woot! out haha thanks martin
ReplyDelete@ jadefox-yeah, I can hardly concentrate on the game after finding you! But I'll try, lol, cuz no one wants to hear about our "village reunion"
ReplyDeleteyou can click on my avatar and go to my blog and leave a comment if you like. let me know how to contact you if that's ok
oops! said that twice, but it said it didn't send and to try again, anyway, yes, I still live in Florence, worse than ever. Less stuff to do than before. Where do you live now? I guess I could look up your profile.
ReplyDeleteso we are still live or what? i have all the other stuff without help. i did finally eat the mushroom and restarted.
ReplyDeleteokie zoz, will do, thanks. I'll get back to the game too.
ReplyDeletenow, just who would keep a watering can locked in a box, lol?
ReplyDeleteOne ending done!... 3 to go :(
ReplyDelete@crromig
ReplyDeleteWe found out one of the endings thanks to Martin:D brute forcing the color code.
There are three more endings in this game :)
Did anyone find a use for the stick?
ReplyDeletefound a key but can't get it, geez!
ReplyDelete@Rin and Jadefox
ReplyDeleteUse the stick to get the key.
Nevermind, I got it.
ReplyDeletefound stick, got key, lol, happy!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, I have to leave you here to find out three more ways out of this room. Good luck!
ReplyDeletei've done two of the four endings. i would liek to do the rest of them. the shovel thing was boring.
ReplyDeleteOne way is to use the shovel, other way is to die by eating the mushroom. That only leaves two other ways by solving the button puzzle.
ReplyDeletebye Ellie! I guess you're off to work now. Save lives!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting excited, i'm doing better than i usually do without any help, lol!!! just got mushroom!
ReplyDeletewhat about the tilting cat picture or the nuber 3 on the pillow and the clock?
ReplyDeleteoh, and got watering can and put water in it, but don't know what to water with it.
ReplyDelete@jadefox, just be sure you click on the right box after you get the mushroom
ReplyDeleteoh wait, what am i saying, i watered the log to get mushroom! geez!
ReplyDeleteＴｈｅｒｅ’ｓ ａ ｈｉｎｔ ｆｒｏｍ ｔｈｅ ｂｏｏｋｓ ｔｈａｔ ｔｈｅ ｓｅｃｏｎｄ ｓｐｏｔ ｏｎ ｔｈｅ ｂｕｔｔｏｎ ｐｕｚｚｌｅ ｉｓ ｔｈｅ ｓｔｏｍａｃｈ．

ReplyDelete@Molly, what exactly does "nanochirokanahiza" mean, pray tell?
ReplyDeleteok, thanks zoz!
ReplyDelete@Rin, so right knee red then stomach red? or left knee?
ReplyDeletebtw, hi Edgar!!!
ReplyDeletenano = small????
ReplyDeletelol @zoz, hi. Starting to wonder when "cracking" would ring any bells there.
ReplyDeleteOk Edgar, did you have to do anything to the man on the wall to get out the first time?
ReplyDeleteknee stomach head
ReplyDeletegot hammer
yes @Jadefox:
ReplyDeleteA knee from somewhere, lol.
lol Edgar!!! I've already tried both knees first! All sort of different ways and still nothing!
ReplyDeleteThanks @Chris: that was another one, using hammer in window. Another combo on that puzzle must give the 4th end.
ReplyDeleteＩｔ ｄｏｅｓｎ’ｔ ｓａｙ ｗｈｉｃｈ ｋｎｅｅ， ｂｕｔ ｉｔ ｗａｓ ｔｈｅ ｌｅｆｔ ｏｎｅ．
ReplyDeleteＳｏ ｎｏｗ ｗｅ ｈａｖｅ ３ ｏｆ ４ ｅｎｄｓ． Ｔｈｅｒｅ ｓｈｏｕｌｄ ｂｅ ａｎｏｔｈｅｒ ｏｒｄｅｒ ｆｏｒ ｔｈｅ ｂｕｔｔｏｎ ｐｕｚｚｌｅ ｆｏｒ ａｎｏｔｈｅｒ ｉｔｅｍ．
hey, hey, I got out through the window! and got quite the trumpet salute, i might add' lol
ReplyDeletehammer break window and out again
ReplyDeleteWow, I feel really silly getting out by hitting the window with a hammer, but hey, if it makes me feel better by getting out without any help for once, oh well, HAHA!!! I'm sorry I can't ever be of much help to you guys, but, hey, when I can, I'll surely let you know!
ReplyDeleteoh my, midnight here. Sorry guys, gotto go now, enchantment's vanishing. Good luck in there! See you later!
ReplyDeleteso there are two square grey boxes beside the diagram man. one opens after left knee-stomach-head. What about the lower one?
ReplyDeleteg'nite Edgar, sweet dreams!
ReplyDeleteMidnight here too, oh my, I better go too, gotta get up very early for drs. appt. See you guys later. Bye Edgar and zoz! See you next time.
ReplyDeleteGonna come back tomorrow and try some more.
ReplyDeletei'm out, too. 1AM here. @jadefox we'll have to compare notes on florence. It's been a very long time since i was there.
ReplyDeletei wonder how many items is all of the items? if it fills the top i think i may need five more items.
ReplyDeletewhat was the sambo picture code? was it
ReplyDelete1__4
3--2
anyone still trying for the fourth end? i cant figure out how to tilt the picture correctly.
ReplyDeleteI give up. I looked all over and still can't find anymore clues for an alternate order for the button puzzle.
ReplyDeleteJust noticed: on each of the three endings that have already been discovered, there is a number on the man. In one there is a 3 on his head, in another a 4 on his right hand, and the last a 5 on his chest. I've tried doing right knee, stomach (assuming the first 2 stayed the same), head, right hand, and chest but the other panel won't open. Ideas?
ReplyDeleteKey end (thanks to comments by Rin & seezuredance) (your)Right knee, belly, head, left hand, chest.
ReplyDeleteI hope this posts with this account because some people couldn't see my posts yesterday...sorry Full.
thanks martin.
ReplyDeleteThanks everybody for the last end :D I completely forgot about those numbers after each ending XD
ReplyDeleteOh, and this game is definitely better than the last one where all you had to do was spin around LOL
ReplyDeletehmmm, this looks bizzare.
ReplyDeleteI'll try it
Wow, the enthusiasm is missing these days...those of us who haven't got a clue...will never have one with these clues...guess I'll have to go elsewhere to find some help...totally lost in this one!
ReplyDeleteWALKTHROUGH
ReplyDeleteThis game has 4 different endings, and you can play them as 4 different games. I wouldn’t have escaped without the help from several other players, epecially thanks @Rin, @Martin:D and @seezuredance!
Ending 1, color box ending
Turn right.
- Below the TV is a box with 4 shapes that change colors when pressed. The clues how to open this box are spread out in the room.
However, the clues are all in japanese, and Martin :D solved the code by force breaking (thanks!). Rin translated some of the clues. Read his posts above if you wish to understand more.
If you just wish to escape without understanding it all (as I did), zoom on the box and change the colors to:
Triangle: red
Square: green
Pentagon: blue
Star: yellow.
- Press ”open” and get a shovel. Zoom out.
- Turn left after getting the shovel.
- Use the shovel on the ”M” marking in the floor below the sink.
Ending 2, mushroom ending
- Take the yellow stick from the left side of the door.
Turn right.
- Open the drawer below the computer and get a wire cutter. Zoom out.
- Zoom on the right side of the brown book case, use the stick to get a key. Zoom out.
- Zoom on the blue box in the book case. Use the key to open it and get a watering can. Zoom out.
Turn left twice.
- Use the wire cutter on the tap above the sink.
- Turn the water on.
- Fill your watering can with water.
Turn left.
- Pour water from the watering can on the brown log to the left of the bed. Get a mushroom.
- Click on your mushroom and see two possible answers. If you chose the left alternative you get ending 2. If you chose the right alternative you may continue with the game.
Ending 3, green button ending
- Zoom on the man on the wall to the left of the door. Press the correct green buttons to make them red. The white text box is the reset button.
There are japanese text clues how to press the buttons in the game. Rin translated them to:
”first is the knee from somewhere…”
”the second spot is the stomach”
The third button to press, you get from going through ending 2 first and watch the man in the end sceen. He has a number 3 on his head, so the buttons to press are:
Left knee, stomach, head.
- Get a hammer. Zoom out.
- Turn left and use the hammer on the window to get out.
Ending 4, another green button ending
This ending is also from pressing green buttons on the man by the door.
To get to this end, you need to go through all of the other endings first, and note that in the end sceens you see numbers by different body parts:
In Ending 1 you see number 5 on the chest of the man.
In Ending 2 you see number 3 on the head.
In Ending 3 you see number 4 on the left hand.
The buttons to press first are the same as in ending 3, except that you change the knee to the right one, so for Ending 4, press:
Right knee, stomach, head, left hand, chest.
-Get a key and use it on the door.
Right knee, stomach, head, left hand, chest. if he has his back to you.
