[Replay Game] RudowskiBrothers - The Trader of Stories: A Grain of Truth is another point and click adventure escape game developed by 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!

@jo ann your rope is hung up in the wagon. ~@enjoy where is the word business then i can not find it
ReplyDeleteCan't find last word for third story. Assume it is business. Any clues?
ReplyDeleteFound my knotted rope! for any of you who can't find it, it was originally in the bird's nest and then up on the right side of the caravan inventory
ReplyDeleteoff to measure some floating rocks!
the knotted rope fell down to the entrance of big rocks (cleft)
ReplyDeleteI am missing on wedge shape thought that goes at 9:00. I am getting tired of this already
the questions are
ReplyDelete2. connection + sleep
3. Price + business
4. environment + cloudeater
5. scientific + (? starts with an "I" and ends in "isve")
6. truth + hidden + ledgend
so the 'price' influenced 'crew'? made sense to me but doesn't work D:

ReplyDeleteWow this is involved lol... still looking for some words I think for the story. I can't start the captain's story yet, does that only work when you have all the words, or am I missing something?

ReplyDeleteThe first question you ask him should be from words you found on the cloudeater. After that you have to go down the ladder and take the journey to the floating rocks in order to find the correct words

Hm, I felle a little embarassed but i can't find Zephir at the end of the game, just two empty shells...
ReplyDeleteFor "business", it is in the "excavation site", just examine the enter (the rock just in the middle of the map).
Jo.C
ReplyDeleteLOL
Talk about being redundant !
Too many comments and not enough patience :)
Erm ok... I have found 11 words, I know I have some more to find. But how do I insert them into the 'asking the question' about the story? LOL sorry... feeling bit stupid
ReplyDeleteFlopi

Oh for goodness sake.... HAHAHAHAHAHA @ MYSELF!! When I was talking to people, I was writing the words down on a bit of paper, not clicking them to add to the list!! LOL so that is why I couldn't add any words to the story! Going to have to go everywhere again to get the words PROPERLY! Maybe I shouldn't play this with a glass of wine in my hand?? ;)
ReplyDeleteok i have finished thankyou all for your help
ReplyDeleteJean-Michel,
ReplyDeletego meditate on created cloud pillow in hidden cave (trapdoor open with cup puzzle).
It has probably been mentioned, but if you click the 'eye icon' on top left corner... it shows you hot spots to click :) (coming in very handy at the moment)
ReplyDeleteI sooo want to make one of the pillow for real. :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't have too much trouble once I got the majong game figured and last floating rock ( with butterfly net).
To make sure I didn't miss words, I went every sceen and click the "eye" then examined and talked to everyone again real closely
I'm truly stuck on the 3 question for the captain. I know the second and last word is
ReplyDeleteSbPusOiInLeEssR
but what's the first word, and where do I find it?
The sentence is "So the _____ of the cloud-filled bedding gave you the incentive to start your own _____?"
Thanks!
Not sure where to find it EXE, but there are some spoilers above which give the words needed :)
ReplyDeleteEXE,
ReplyDeleteprice & business
How do you get 'environment'?
ReplyDeleteNevermind, just found out that you can look out the window in the bedroom. :P

SOLUTIONS
CUPS
- 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

COLLECTED THOUGHTS - KEEP IN MIND
wow what a good game.
ReplyDeleteThe first game I could play. Why not now? I don't have a Mac of iPad. I just have Google.
ReplyDeleteSomebody have a suggestion please?
How could you all play this game?
ReplyDeleteAn utterly brilliant game - fantastic graphics, logical puzzles, an enticing story. Congratulations to the designers.
ReplyDeleteThese games are absolutely stunning!!!
ReplyDeleteIt must have been a years since the previous one, and although I've played hundreds escape games since then, it's one of the few I haven't forgotten.
Amazing.
well it was okay. wasn't expecting a game with so many options unlike the last one. it has my approval although I've been working on it for two days now. i have a feeling that there will not be more of this series because she goes home and takes the wise man's advice.
ReplyDeleteClouds-start on left....towards right.
ReplyDeletecover page loads, but game won't start ("New game" button depresses, but nothing happens)
