@zoz
ReplyDeleteLOVE the SSRG!!!!
I have all the gems on the book, but won't open.
ReplyDeletehmmm, I ended up with seven gems (the purple on behind the cover is number 7), but after I picked up the first gem (green) another green gem appeared in place on the book! Is this a bug?
ReplyDeleteI'm still in, though, trying to find 3 more orbs to make it an even 200.
aitch: Did you click on the red ankh? I think that's what i did before the book opened.
ReplyDeleteGreat game; thanks for your hard work, SD!
ReplyDeletewhere is pink gem?
ReplyDeleteI only had 6 gems and either I'm VERY lucky and placed them correctly the first time, or it doesn't matter what order you place them. I can't remember now what order I placed them.
ReplyDeletegreat job as always @Premiere! I'm going to use your WT to find the last 3 orbs :o)
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, I never saw the metal piece in the room with the knife. Instead, I waited until I had the crystal ball, then I took the knife from N and popped over to H. Putting the knife in the thin slot in H caused the cover in W to open, giving me the purple gem.
I think the pink gem was in a dark room, bottom left part of map somewhere. You need the flashlight.
ReplyDeletewhoops didn't know it was still live and didn't refresh!! out
ReplyDeletefinally found the colour levers - thanks for the walkthrough premiere : )
ReplyDeletenow let's see how far I can get without more help.....
Thx, zoz,
ReplyDeletefor the knife addendum!
GL for the chase of the last orbs!
☺
@premiere:
ReplyDeleteYou always do such excellent WT's. I'm going to replay this in a few days and get ALL the orbs! I only had about 20 left after I bought everything.
Well, annoyingly, I got here after the book was fixed. I have 6 gems but it wont open.
ReplyDeleteThank you Self Defiant! Love your games! I can handle labeling the map but I couldn't draw my own! Please keep the map, label or no label. Thanks, Premiere! You rock the walk-through!
ReplyDeletewhat is your earliest "mapped" game? I've been playing the old stuff...dyslexic fireflies are helplessly lost without maps..sometimes even with one! Can't wait until your next game, SD! :D
ReplyDelete@Zoe Thx! Didn't read the comments, didn't want to spoil the game with spoilers:D
ReplyDelete@SD-> I just adore your games and have also started visiting abandoned buildings/hospitals with my camera near my city ^^
Putting knife in slot in H gives purple gem in W.
ReplyDeleteThe order of gems doesn't play role.
ReplyDeleteplayed thru again. Just loved this game! Really had to work my brain as on a memory card game! Thank you SD for another wonderful game!!
ReplyDeleteim almost out by myself but had to look for dials hint ..
ReplyDelete@ premiere great walkthru & by placing knife ant the wood in slot uncovered purple gem in W.
and for SD great game but it took me sooo long due to unlabelled map ...
may be labelled map is much better ..it is my suggestion SD :)
ReplyDeleteSelfdefiant, I have to thank you another time for an hour of having fun. I wouldn't need any labels on the map if I was clever enough to escape without help as I draw my comments right on the map. So a little counting is a small price for taking some hints I think. But I must admit that I would miss a map at all.
ReplyDeleteI still remember that you put back the question if you want to clear the marks after I asked you if this would be possible.
If making a map without labelling is convenient for you it's okay for me. We should appreciate your labour anyway.
I usually like these games but without a labeled map it's next to impossible to keep track of what's where - and it's really hard to help others, too! Not playing this one. :(

ReplyDeleteWow!! SD that was challenging. Great game though!! Thanks for all the posts, couldn't have done it without you. :)
ReplyDelete@Selfdefiant, I want you to know that at least one player (me!) didn't mind having the map unlabeled at all. It made things more interesting, imo.
ReplyDeleteWhile it's fine when trying to get through without help, there's no question that an unlabeled map makes it much more difficult to give hints. But with talented players like @premiere around, that problem is eliminated.
I say, if it's less work for you, then we're more likely to see games more often, and that's a good thing for everyone.
The vast majority of people here really do appreciate everything you do, especially the way you lurk when a game comes out so you can fix minor bugs or answer questions. Please keep doing what you're doing!
THANK YOU!
Six gems and cant open book of curses. No Ankh. I have been looking and went over the WT but still dont see a gem I might have missed. Plz help!
ReplyDeletePOP plus I'm an idiot LOL! My purple gem was in my inventory, just on another section I missed, duh! I KNEW I had collected all of them! SelfDefiant I LOVE your games, thanks for a brain workout. Might need to play a few more, it looks like I need it LOL!
ReplyDeleteIt would be great if someone would tell me how i can find again my lost(pink) gem ?
ReplyDeleteWell ok, i will restart playing tomorrow.
@Self this is one of you best games IMHO
I love challenges and when not everything is too obvious i adore.
Just this gem disappeared....no idea why, so i am still captured at this "nice" place :) LOL
Go on and give us more of your cute games !
Wow! That one was a toughy. I get turned around without a map to keep me focused but that is ok because one little clue about the dial puzzle and I was home free! Great game, as usual. Love em!
ReplyDeleteSD´s games are still the best ones, there are some others i like very much, Tomatea for instance, Robamini, TESSHI-e and also Gotmail....and Neutral of course (but they are that rare)
ReplyDeleteIn any case SD style is unique and cute !
Thx Selfdefiant !!
@Unknown, after your comment i looked in my inventory if the pink gem is there, but it wasn´t.
ReplyDeleteSo i will replay tomorow (i can´t open the book of course lol)
I can't find the pink gem. Anyone able to help, please?
ReplyDeleteok is there some trick to the gems...have 6 but can't figure out how to place them
ReplyDeleteok was missing the yellow gem whew finally out...:) very challenging..
ReplyDeleteRachel and premiere, WOW
ReplyDeleteIs anyone there? I'm having a problem with the gems. I have all 6, but can't seem able to open my book. Any clues out there?
ReplyDeletenevermind. Yellow gem eluded me. Loved the game and well worth the time taken to play it.I'm out.
ReplyDeleteThankyou Selfdefiant I LOVED this game I for one go into absolute withdrawals till each new game comes out this one just made think a little harder not a bad thing it keeps the old brain active BRAVO
ReplyDeleteDeja vu all over again.
ReplyDeleteDeja vu all over again. Need something new.
ReplyDelete.....and out with an amazing score of jsut under
ReplyDelete600,000!! woohoo..lol. Thank-you SD, for another fantastic game. I really enjoyed it.
SD is a sadist. It took me a refresh after and hour of playing, then and hour in a half to pop! Oh and the walk thru wasnt a help lool!
ReplyDeleteUnlabelled map for 25 orbs is annoying, other changes are OK. If it was a map with adding chambers(room appearing on the map only after you enter it) it would be much more interesting.
ReplyDeleteRe-played and every single glitch seems to have been sorted out. Thanks Self Defiant. I wish more game makers were that particular about their games. Everyone can make a mistake but very few bother to fix them so promptly
ReplyDeleteIt took me almost an hour LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks you Selfdefiant, excellent game,with the unlabelled map its a big problem for hints
but premiere is around so everything is settled!
I did most of it on my own (anyway couldnt understand from comments where is what....),my problem was i missed the drain with the yellow gem (thanks again prem)and to tell you the truth i had placed the knife in the other slot but didnt understand if that did smt LOL
Great game! Thank you, Selfdefiant. I did not have to peek often, so my own labelling for the map worked well.
ReplyDeleteLike what happened to @zazie...I fell victim to the disappearing pink gem, and I think it was the first one I got! I'll just consider myself out, unless I play it NEW some time soon!
ReplyDeleteAll in all it was another super great game, glitches and all...selfdefiant is one of the few who watches and repairs things as we play!
I did complain about the map, but really, It is just that you have made us so lazy and dependent on all the amazing things you do for us ungrateful slobs, SD!!!!! lol
Thank You Very Much!!!!!
Premiere: thank you for the walkthrough,had to come back to find torch so I could get last 2 gems, now out at last, I certainly was the lost soul. Lol
ReplyDeleteAnd He does it again!!!!
ReplyDeleteWith one swift strike, He reaps our souls for a journey through one of His lost worlds and smites us with a real treasure of a game =D
Yes, I'm late again, but I just have to speak for the benefit of future players:
For any lightweights who prefer little quickie flash "gamies", I warn you - STAY AWAY! You are not worthy and you will never leave here through the exit door.
This will immerse you in a treacle of thought and brain-wracking, which, if you persevere, will reward you with short-lived bursts of triumph as you find an item or work out a puzzle.
If you have it in you, you can beat Him and emerge ultimately victorious, but this will not be until after either several hours of wandering and wondering amongst the areas with a feeling that you are in a spiritual inferno, or a lot of help from other players. Under the sad soundtrack, can't you just HEAR those screams?
For me, this game is so superior to even a lot of bought games.
What demo of a downloadable game gives us THIS much fantastic gameplay?
Get a pencil and some paper, take your time and keep your eyes OPEN!
Thank you SO MUCH for the map, Selfdefiant - you are a gem!
I always draw my own anyway, but I use yours to correct mine and this one took me half an hour to copy out properly, after twenty-five minutes of trying to get to the shop!!!! =D =D =D
Let me drift back off into the Axend - Book of Curses Purgatory and continue playing. I may see you all again if I ever get out ;)
@Rookwings....great to see you!!! ;) Don't feel alone...I also joined late....lol!!! And AMEN to everything you said :)
ReplyDelete@SD...thank you thank you again for a great game! I didn't mind not having a labeled map...I just labeled the rooms in the order that worked for me. I appreciate the work you put into your games and the fact that you listen to our comments and respond is more than most game-makers do. I thank you very much for caring enough to pay attention to what your fans are saying :) The only *glitch* I could not seem to fix was the gems dilemma...I found all the gems but I was reading the comments and saw I needed to refresh for the map, so I did. Unfortunately, my blue gem disappeared, never to be seen again...lol...and clearing my cache plus refreshing again could not bring it back from the darkness. I think that *shopkeeper* absconded with it and then just sat down to enjoy the show.... ;) Aw well, this means I can have fun playing the game again!
@Rookwings...maybe I will pass you as we both drift in AxEnd ;)
YAY!!! Success :D All the gems stayed in my inventory...of course, giving the hooded hoodlum a *special* blend of chamomile tea, combined with a few other relaxing ingredients, worked to my advantage also :P He was still snoring when I escaped...lol!
ReplyDeleteThank you again SD :)
Yes! I enjoy these very much even if I have to play guided by the walkthrough and hints. It's part of the fun. Tyvm SD!!!

ReplyDeleteThank you Selfdefiant for the great game. I am looking every day for a new one. its a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteI could not have finished without the labeled map.
ReplyDeleteVery hard to follow directions from others to a particular room and I always need a little help.
SD, love your games but, please don't take the labeled map away.
Thank you so much Selfdefiant I just love your games. Especially this one it was allot of fun. Looking forward to many more fun ones!
ReplyDeleteThank you Self Defiant for an excellent game. I enjoy an unlabeled map, and appreciate all the work you put into make these games. Keep up the great work! :)
