Rudowski Brothers. In this
Trader of Stories game, the legends have it, that among the Plains of the Endless Grass there is a place where rocks float above the ground. Therein lives the Wiseman, older than the time itself. They say he knows every story ever told. I want to meet this man and offer him a deal. For countless Breaths Zephyr, my mount and faithful companion, and I have travelled these Plains, and to no avail. I was beginning to think these floating stones were nothing but a fairy tale. But now I've come to conclusion that there might be a grain of truth in this tale. And that my journey may be nearing its long-awaited end. Help Myosotis find the Wiseman living among the Rocks that Float. Good luck and have fun!

i don't have much time, but it seems like a very great game !
ReplyDeletewow this looks like a beautiful , shame i only have ten minutes
ReplyDeleteI'm with the chief of cloud catchers, and stuck with the sentence ...
ReplyDeleteawww wont let me play ...
ReplyDeletebtw, in options, you can put the music on
ReplyDeleteooooh what is this??
ReplyDeletei went to the ship , got the net and am now trying to sort the clouds i got mahjong style
ReplyDeletemade a map looking in telescope upstairs
ReplyDeletebeautiful music :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful story this is turning into :)
ReplyDeleteUp the top of the cloud catcher. There are 6 things to find when looking through the telescope in order to find your way to the floating rocks
grrr these clouds are driving me nuts. lol
ReplyDeletedid you sort the clouds rsa momma
ReplyDeleteSame here Bigtank !
ReplyDeletefinally got it, but can't explain how...
ReplyDeleteAfter a simple puzzle, i made a pillow
ReplyDeleteGot new words for the sentence, and now it's ok ;)
ReplyDeleteNa. Still fiddling with the clouds between silly people who think I should actually do WORK whilst at the office - how unreasonable some people are :-P
ReplyDeletePOP
ReplyDeleteIts amazing what you can accomplish when the phone stops ringing
I must have missed speaking to someone as I still haven't got the right word for the second part of the captain's story (you get the words from speaking to people and you can only use those words to insert in the questions).
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty game but sadly too slow for an 'office break' game LOL. Will come back to this later.
ReplyDeleteI can't get in. Boehoe!
ReplyDeleteI too am trying to get words for 2nd sentence of story, and failed to sort the clouds... utter fail.. but fun nonetheless .. oh dear, help though please .
ReplyDeleteLuin,
ReplyDeleteIn Mahjong, you can only take the tiles which are on the edge. Try to get as many of the bottom line uncovered and as many tiles on an edge as you can.
This game doesn't accept my browser (Opera) ! This is just ridiculous, Opera is compliant with all the web requirements !
ReplyDeleteI have IE, but rarely use it, it's so cumbersome.. Google Chrome is the browser that I find works just so fine for most things.. I love it .
ReplyDeleteHow do you get to sorting the clouds??
ReplyDeleteI've done the first part of the story.
xx
What's the second part of the 'story' the captain tells?? I got the first question and seem to have all the words (went through the entire thing twice) but can't work it out. :(
ReplyDeleteOn first i used "family","bedding" and "tradition". don't remember the order.
ReplyDeleteAny1 to help with the second
Go off of the cloudeater and go to the rocks. Amble around and collect more words then go back to the captain
ReplyDelete(the map works like a Selfdefiant crystal and will take you immediately to wherever you have been before)
All words are there, you must examine all things in the game, for example the crack between two rooms gave me one word if i remember correctly. The hardest was find word business. I stuck with he pillow and stethoscope, where to use them? Watched film and measured rocks. Help.
ReplyDeleteany hints on the majong? i just can't seem to solve it!
ReplyDeleteSPOILER
ReplyDelete2. = connection + sleep
Hi all,
ReplyDeletefinally made the cloud-mahjong. It´s a bit tricky and i can´t play it again. But the solution is to start on the left side.
Still missing the second word for the second question for the captain... maybe 'stone'?
I haven´t found others to talk to...
pop. use them in the connecting point (in the secret room)
ReplyDeletethanks trirepeate - will keep at it!
ReplyDeleteCan't find the word "connection" anywhere. Getting tired of clicking and going around in circles
ReplyDelete@Duo 'sleep' is from touching the cloud on the head of the cloud-eater, the guy will warn you and you´ll get the word.
ReplyDelete@RSA Momma
where was the word 'connection'? i spoke to all again but no sucess.
If you click on the map (symbol up right) you can travel much faster.
There's a secret room??
ReplyDeletesecret room is hidden in the room with buckets. You must add water and door opens.
ReplyDeleteThere's a room with buckets?? Sheesh!! :(
ReplyDeleteword connection is in the entrance to the other chamber.
ReplyDeletetrirepeate
ReplyDeleteGet the map then leave the Cloudeater. Go on the journey to the rocks and look around there. I'm not sure where I say the word but it was in that area
ipi
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find a hook or a weight to put on the rope to get across?
it is the head of the axe in you inventory
ReplyDeleteI can't seem to find the word 'connection' and have talked to everyone - any hints?
ReplyDelete*sob* I can't even find the rocks :( All I've found is the Cloud Eater, the tree and something that looks like a wagon on the huge plain.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ipi. I'll give it another try - it keeps telling me I'm bloodthirsty :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, You have to go into the inventory (not use item) and then select 'use item' on the axe head and put it on the rope. Got a grappling hook now :)
ReplyDeleteHook... weight... axe??? Seriously? Where are you finding all this stuff?
ReplyDeleteI think I've clicked everything I can find to click and am getting nowhere. Might have to quit it if I don't find anything else. Finger is getting too sore.
Terry Jackson
ReplyDeleteGo right the way up to the top of the cloudeater. Look through the lense and find the 6 landmarks. That will allow you to travel to the rocks
Terry Jackson
ReplyDeleteOn the top right of the screen there is an eye symbol. Click on that and white marks briefly appear which tells you what you can and cannot interact with
sorry - top LEFT
ReplyDeleteGirl directions where the "other right" is still on the right :)
Where did you find the order for the filters please?
ReplyDeleteChristina
ReplyDeleteLook at the pieces of the pages you have been collecting. They spell out the colours in order
E.g page 1 is Research Every Do = red
Christina: Look at the first letters of the notes in the inventory. I found out by showing one to the sowing man with the mask.
ReplyDeletepop. sorry
ReplyDeletespoiler alert
waSPinOIglLEinRe
I am missing one piece of the cloth and am getting bored with going in circles looking for it!
ReplyDeleteMuch progress! I filled in all the blanks in the bedding-related questions and am now grappling my way across the cleft =D
ReplyDeleteFinished, beautiful game
ReplyDeletecan't find the word sleep and how many pieces of cloth do I need? I have two
ReplyDeletetouch the cloud at the top of the head of the cloud eater for "sleep"
ReplyDeletei think u need 8 pieces the last is in the secret room
still don´t know where to use the pillow and the stethoscope...
ReplyDeletethank you Brogettenks!
ReplyDelete@Michael, pillow and stetho are used at the very end of the game
ReplyDeleteCan I hell find that last piece of cloth !!!
ReplyDeleteThe one that goes in the 9'oclock space.
Thanks Brogettenks - I was worry about that.
ReplyDeleteI think that I´m missing a word for the captain´s puzzle: "these plains are not the natural ... of the ...? I´m sure the second word must be CREW - have to search anouther round...
Found it - wasn´t the word CREW...
ReplyDeleteDo you want me to spoiler the words for the captain's questions?
ReplyDeleteI have all the cloth, the lamp is in place, the filters are in order (I think), but it's still telling me something is missing??
ReplyDeleteOrder I have for filters: RPBGYO
I never got a paper for 'blue', but since I have papers for all the others, I inferred that the blue filter was to go in the 3rd slot...
BlackFiresong
ReplyDeleteDid you make the picture of the red cloth?
That is where I'm stuck as I can't find one of the pieces (I think that is what the problem is)
Is this still live?
ReplyDeleteMy cloth wheel looks complete to me... I don't see any gaps, at least. Can't remember how many pieces I found, but the one in the secret room completed the wheel. Afraid I can't remember where all the others were, as I didn't keep track!
ReplyDeleteok it is :)
ReplyDeleteRSA and I are still playing, so I assume so, haha xD Join us and help out? :)
ReplyDeleteBlackFiresong
ReplyDeleteMine also looks complete but on the whirly ? mark type round thingy, I have one piece missing. The inner and middle are all done correctly. Just the outside isn't
@ RSA Momma Cyndi:
ReplyDeleteI would, but I didn´t made a note of the answers. Also, my english isn´t the best - but this part of the game wasn´t that hard...
Finished now - really really nice game :-)
Where's the room with buckets please?
ReplyDeleteOh, strange. I removed a couple of filters and reinserted them and now it works.
ReplyDeleteWhat do I do after seeing the movie about the floating stones? Wiseman is still meditating. I have loads of words I didn't use back with the bedding manufacturer, but nobody new to talk to...
ReplyDeleteOh you clever clever BlackFiresong :)
ReplyDeleteAlso worked on mine now
BlackFiresong
ReplyDeletePut all the "thoughts' into the right space (what I thought were blanket bits) and then you can go downstairs and meditate too
Room with buckets is across the cleft. You need to cut the rope from the top terrace using the axe. The axe will break (you'll be left with only the head) and the rope will fall down. You then have to go back down to where you placed the floating rocks to pick it up. Combine the rope with the axe head in your inventory to make a grappling hook, and use that to cross the cleft and enter the bucket room.
ReplyDeleteCheers! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm missing two thoughts. Haven't used pillow and stethoscope (sp!?!?) yet. Do I need to use them to get the last two thoughts?
I'm missing the inner thought piece that goes left. Anyone remeber where they found it?
ReplyDeleteBlackFiresong
ReplyDeleteNo. The 'thoughts' come from various places where you pick up knowledge. The book that you can turn pages in was one of them and the picture in the captain's cabin was another
OK, my bad, actually only missing 1 thought in the inner circle... might be the same one as you, Rob.
ReplyDeleteOh bugger. Now I must ask Yoda stuff and there is no clues as to what I'm supposed to ask him !
ReplyDeletelast thought for me was from measuring the height of the big stone (1 of the 4) from the ground using the knotted rope.
ReplyDeleteDarn, now I have to go through every spot again looking for the very last thought xD
ReplyDelete@RSA though i asked some stuff, i think you dont have to ask at all
ReplyDeleteOoh, never did that, Brogettenks - thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteBrogettenks
ReplyDeleteso how do you get out?
Seems like a waste to have the man who knows all stories at your disposal and not ask him anything :) I'd be yacking his ear off
clouds, past, future, connection, Great Oak, me, dreams, sleep
ReplyDeleteAre the words i had used (if im not forgetting any)
So i wont spoil i'll say it like this:
ReplyDeleteTo get out try visiting the places from the very beginning like u did at the start
OK, have all thoughts - now need a communication point for talking to the Oak!? Erm...
ReplyDelete@Black, excellent but uncomfortable it says at the map
ReplyDeleteor something like that :P
ReplyDeleteIn the book I can only flip from the title page to the first page. Is there more?
ReplyDeleteNow searching for the tortoise :)
ReplyDeleteBlackFiresong - down the secret chamber
@Rob, i dont think there is
ReplyDeleteBrogettenks: Thanks, that was it! I totally overlooked I had the knotted rope!
ReplyDelete@Rob, me too. I discovered i had it by accident
ReplyDeleteI'm so close! Where are the words for the final question/s??
ReplyDeleteblackfiresong, where do you mean when you say top terrace? which is where I will find the rope to chop with axe
ReplyDeleteThat was a great game - no sword fights or silly, illogical minigames. Just a great story. I have no idea how I missed the first one of these but apparently this is the second episode. The first is called Bell's Heart. Going to give that one a try now :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm okay... left on the Zephyr without asking the question. I really hope that's how it was supposed to end
ReplyDeleteOoh, OK, connected and flipped through a load of intriguing story, and then Yoda came and saved me before I caused too much lightning around the Oak. Now I have to find him, but I don't know where he is, lol...
ReplyDeleteok what are the six landmarks?
ReplyDelete@Alice - climb up the floating rocks you've placed where the broken ladder is, then enter the room behind the yellow curtain, then climb to the upstairs room. Outside the window, there is a hanging rope. Look out at it, then climb upstairs to what I've uneloquently deemed the 'top terrace'.
ReplyDeleteOoh, found Wiseman in the room with the treasure chest. Let's see what happens now...
ReplyDelete@Blackfiresong: thank you! I never saw those stairs.
ReplyDelete@rimic: Just keep moving the lever around and looking through the telescope and whenever you focus on something that isn't just grass, click and it'll be added to your sketch. It'll tell you when you have all the landmarks. Can't remember what they all are.
ReplyDeleterimic
ReplyDeletethere was the tree, a set of rocks, a dead tree, the floating rocks, the wagon and I can't remember the last one
Why is my brain so lame today? I don't know what to ask the Wiseman :/
ReplyDelete+++++ for this game
ReplyDeleteBrogettenks 5/31/12 6:02 AM gave some of the words to use as questions but you don't have to ask him anything
ReplyDeleteArgh, no! Mine has jammed DDDDD:
ReplyDeleteMy brain is still dead from the mirage game :/
ReplyDeletei have 5 landmarks
tree, dead tree, birds, rocks i thnk the ones at the back, a goup of brown stuff lol and with the wagon, i cant add it to my book?
OK, no, it saves, THANK GOODNESS D:
ReplyDeletebrown stuff are floating rocks lol oopps
ReplyDeleteGreat game, I enjoyed playing it!
ReplyDeleteLoved "Yoda"... ;)
Thanks very much.
Rimic
ReplyDeleteWhen the image is in the middle of the lens, either click on it or click on the pencil to the right of the lens
Okayyy, I did something wrong and now my game really has jammed. It doesn't sort itself out even upon refreshing. Was that it, then, or is there like an ending that I missed? Either way, loved it and will be playing Episode 1 as soon as I can!
ReplyDeleteoh nooo my picture went black :(
ReplyDeleteThe game went all black on me trying to change scenes, and now getting a bandwidth limit exceeded message.
ReplyDeleteHope it's fixed soon, this is an incredible game.
Bandwidth limit exceeded???
ReplyDeleteOh, OK, I'm not the only one, then! Must be a bug on the site or something...
ReplyDeleteoh well lol hopefully it comes back very soon :(
ReplyDeleteNooooo! I cant travel away! I lost internet connection, returned, and now the page says:
ReplyDeleteBandwidth Limit Exceeded

ReplyDeleteCan someone please explain how to get the water from the "puddle to the "buckets"?
ReplyDeleteI've scoured the comments, and no one mentions where they found a transfer device.
Thanks.

ReplyDeleteThere is a chemistry set type glass container on the floor in the room with the machine in it. Use that to get the water
Sunnavagun! right in the middle of the floor!
ReplyDeleteThanks Momma Cyndi!

ReplyDeletethe game saves your progress automatically :) i hope it does that as well after this problem here..
ReplyDeleteI want to play! Not fair lol :(
ReplyDeleteLooks like we all wait 'til their server comes
ReplyDeleteback.

Wow the 1st is beautiful! TY Jo-Ann :) At least with the 2nd one now, you know where your coming from.

COLLECTED THOUGHTS
ok just back from work started this morning. how do i save the games as i have had to restart
ReplyDeletewhere is this head of the axe??
ReplyDeleteOh yay! I stopped back in and the game is up!
ReplyDeleteLoading....
can someone please tell me how to save the game
ReplyDeleterimic,
ReplyDeletefind whole AXE behind sticks left of camp (the canvas roof in floating rock scene).
bigtank,
ReplyDeleteit saves automatically. To go back in game, just click «continue».
☺
@ bigtank i think you need to copy the text where it says export saved game and back it up somewhere...so when you go back, it will say import saved game the next time you go in and you can paste it there to continue :)
ReplyDeletefunny i had to restart the game again...i had no continue option just new game :(
ReplyDeletesorry how to get to floating rocks scene?? all i can see are a huge plain and a wagon with a huge cloud lol am i at the right place?
ReplyDeleteHm.. guess device will only work after I have all pages.. Missing 1 (got all rags, coloured stones and lit lamp)
ReplyDeleteOnce I found my missing floating rock, ( got it with the butterfly net), was smooth sailing..
ReplyDeleteOMG.. about 2 years wait for the new one and boyo sure worth it.. such a great and gorgeous story and game. ty ever much ..
@rimic i went to the horse and cart thing and pressed walk to
ReplyDeleterimic,
ReplyDeleteyou have to go to giant animal first & find 6 places with the telescope to get the rock scene & others on the map top right.
yeah it doesnt give me that option...am i missing something?
ReplyDeleterimic,
ReplyDeletego back (by feet ;-D) to the plain with wagon & choose walk to create new areas on the map.
with the wagon it tells me that zephyr is a glutton lol but isnt recognised as the 6th landmark :( gosh my brain is fried, maybe i should lay off the games for abit LOL
ReplyDeletethe plain with the wagon doesnt give me that option only examine..i can walk to the plain that has the wagon but can not access the wagon :( but i need 6 landmarks on my notebook right?? only have five cant find the 6th one
ReplyDeleteOut.. beautiful game!
ReplyDeleteok yep LOL you cant even see the floating rocks in the corner...ok will not ask questions now my god hehe thanks premiere for that
ReplyDeletehelp.. how much water to put into each cup?
ReplyDeletePop.. I got it! Water in cups
ReplyDeleteSPO4IL1E3R2SPOILER
4 1 3 2 EnJoy
ReplyDeleteyay i am so glad you asked that enjoy. no comments here and i thought i was just being thick
ReplyDeletenow im finding everything lol
ReplyDeleteCup explanation:
ReplyDelete- you have 10 parts water = 1+2+3+4
- all cups must be filled at least with one part
- first cup = 2x last cup (2&1, 4&2 or 6&3)
-> 6&3 doesn't work (1 cup can't be filled, not enough parts)
- last cup more than second (can't be 1, so = 2)
-> first cup = 4 then
-> second cup = 1 then
-> remain in third cup =3
gives:
SPO4ILER1SPOIL3ERSPOI2LER
