Finally got the thing withnthe beamer arms...forgot one piece.... .
ReplyDeleteI have, still stuck on 6. Dont know what to set sliding machine at, cant find stone button.
ReplyDeleteJenny: the stones need to be in the order of the paper hint, then push the red square button on top
ReplyDeletei thought this game was brilliant. I only found one secret though, so it seems I'll have to play the whole game again since I'm too cheap to pay $2 for a version that saves.
ReplyDelete@mrtelcom, which sliding machine are you stuck at? I'm no longer in the game but maybe I can help if you give more information...
POP put sliding thing on two, then go to two and pull up lever, same for 4 then 6, then get a power coil,.
ReplyDeletei love POP ;)
ReplyDeleteOn to 7!
ReplyDeleteWhere is lever in 6th, please??
ReplyDeletePOP, found it in hidden room. Now how to get out?????? Have hammer left in 7th room!
ReplyDeleteI think I have all the levers set, turned the valve, and put the ball in the volcano. The gate is activated on 5 and I can pull the knocker. I do not see the orb on upper left 5, is that all I am missing?
ReplyDeleteStuck on 6. Connected power coil and plug, hit lever, but no beam. What am I missing?
ReplyDeleteFinally out. Uffff..... . Sorry Wile E. Coyote, but I can't remember what I did then!
ReplyDeleteYAY and thank god it's over, had one lever set wrong. Out with 3 secrets, one under tile next to yellow statue ring, one where you placed the gear at some point later it was there, and the third... I forgot.
ReplyDeleteWile E see my post about 6 up.
ReplyDeleteAha, need to assemble the beam stucture
ReplyDeleteWow! I got out but never saw the flooded room. Going to play again but have no time now. Wish I could do a walkthrough but it would take an hour at least.
ReplyDeleteSome pointers: if you get the point, you'll love this game. If you don't you'll hate it. But it's a superb game by a master maker, like it or not.
Items stick to your cursor till you either use them or click them back into the inventory. There's a ghost of the item in the inventory; click on that to get rid of something.
Early on, you find a device that lets you access parallel worlds. Each world has the same rooms in the same relationship, so there is one map for all; but it is not possible to access some rooms without leaving the world and going to the corresponding room in another world. In other words there'll be a ladder in one world but just the floor in another. Climb down the ladder, then switch worlds to see what's under the floor! Once you get the point of this, it gets to be fun, though it is confusing and frustrating trying to find places you remember seeing but don't remember how to get to.
You'll open up more new worlds as you figure out where to find items and where to put them. There are no tricky puzzles, here the puzzle is the world itself.
Hope you have as much fun as I did!
Thanks Mateusz!
Anyonw ever use the ladder step?
ReplyDeleteI never found a ladder step and got out, so it must be used to get a secret
ReplyDeleteCan someone who finished make a lever position for each room, describing what the room looks like please? Don't know which is 1st, 2nd room etc? Please do! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteanyone still here?
ReplyDeleteI can't get the game to load - just a continuous loop of ads??
enjoy ..i just load the game ....
ReplyDeletei dont kno wht to do only hav document ,redstone ,some remote like device .,,no room or world for me ....dont kno wht to do ....?
ReplyDeleteok made some progress now get 1 more red stone ..nothing else can do in igloo scene
ReplyDeleteJohnny, number the buttons on the travel-device
ReplyDelete1 2
3 4
5 6
7
these are the different levels.
Sometimes you can't seem to get farther down or left in one level, but it's possible in another. After you moved farther down or left or whatever on that level, go back to the other one where it wasn't possible and you'll find a new location there. Imagine the levels and rooms as overlapping.
like this you should find all the rooms with levers - i already closed my game, otherwise i could be more precise... hope this helps anyway
ReplyDeleteu'll change ur mind after getting involved :D coz i thought the same as u at the beginning !
ReplyDeletethe key to this game is learning how to navigate to all the areas...
ReplyDeletelol was supposed to be a message to 4red ! didnt notice there's a second page !! :D
ReplyDeleteHmmm Loving this game... Have got to 4 lit buttons and travelling all over trying to find scenes I might have missed.... The WT gonna be a monster I reckon LOL (Damn pipes and broken ladders....)
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, so close to finishing!
ReplyDeletehave not found a hammer but found the stone thing that looks like a hammer and goes in beside cat statue but nothing happens when I push it?
I did find where to place the ladder step level 1, go down rope then all the way to the right. place step and you can go down (but you can get to that scene via your machine
Now, I have the levers set but I must have one wrong
could anyone share what the postions should be? I have
1- in
2- in
3- middle
4- out
5- in
6- out
7- middle
is that correct?
ok apparently I did something because now I have energy ball
ReplyDeleteam out but never used the valve?
ReplyDeletealso said I found 2 secrets...thought I had 3?
anyways great game as always!
yes that's correct Jo-Ann
ReplyDeletewow there's some people still playing !! thought i'm the only one struggling around !! lol at level 6 though ..
ReplyDeletewhere to use the catalyst stone ? just tired ! :D
ReplyDeleteI am back after a couple of hours but i can´t pass lvl 4, i never found this flooded room and i have no idea what to do now....When i go to bed soon and it does not save, i won´t replay.
ReplyDeleteMaybe any help how to find this flooded room ?
ReplyDeleteWell must be to late, i quit. No more fun for me erring around in circles....Maybe tomorrow. Good night all !
ReplyDeletehey zazie ! go to level 2 ( the cb scene ) then switch to 4 n go one step down !
ReplyDeleteoh lol too late !! good night zazie ! :D onto 7 but i doubt i'll be able to finish it !!

Finally got around to playing this and of course everyone's gone by now. Hopefully someone will take a look at the thread and help me out:
I have 7 locations, have a hammer, 8 documents, and 5 pictures, and don't know what I'm supposed to do next. I have the energy trail sphere but am not sure what to do with it.
for the secrets: there are three on level 3, one on level 5, and one on level 6.
ReplyDelete@zoz Are you doing a walkthrough? I'm going to attempt it if there's not one by morning but I have to sleep soon
ReplyDelete@just1, I started a WT earlier but realized how labor intensive it would be so gave up. It's all yours if you want it, and good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I just might accept the challenge, but not right now
ReplyDeleteG'night zoz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Excellent game...played 3 times...finally found all the secrets!!
ReplyDeleteat least all of you can actually play, I can't get the game to open. I can't access it apparently without google chrome which does not work on my operating system. I can't play any games on this site now. I will miss it all. Have fun the rest of you.

ReplyDeleteA little help for everyone getting lost in this maze:
ReplyDeleteEach 'level' has the same architecture, and it is like this;
A_B_C
__D_____E
__F_G_H_I
____J
You can't get from all rooms to another in all levels, sometimes you have to switch levels.
Here is a plan how to get from one room to another (or better: where you can't get from one room to another):
Level 1: no way from F to G and from G to J
Level 2: no way from B to D and G to J
Level 3: no way from G to J
Level 4: no way from F to G
Level 5: no way from B to C
Level 6: no way from G to J
Level 7: no way from D to F
Hope this helps somebody...
Btw: If you take the ladder step in 1/J you can insert it in 1/G and get from G to J without a detour in level 1...
ReplyDeletemrtelcom told two secrets at 10:42. Another one I found was smashing the red ball kind thingy in 3/J with the hammer. I' going to reread all the other comments, maybe there are hints for the others.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find all the secrets, or what to do with the valve, but anyways:
ReplyDeleteWALKTHROUGH Part 1
Each level has the same setup, they overlap. So if you teleport from one level to another you stay in what spot you were on the map. So I'm going to refer to them by level number/scene number (map is at the end of the WT.) So you start out on level 1/screen 2, so 1/2. This is mostly for secrets and items.
You start out on 1/2. Go right and grab the BROKEN BEAM (1/3). Click the handle of the long vertical rail to slide it over. Go left twice and get the KEY (1/1) with the broken beam. Go right and use the key on the lock, pull the lever, and then push the red button.
Go down and grab the STONE SPHERE WITH LITTLE DOT (1/4). Grab a document. Go down, note STICK LEVER. Go right. Pick up the TELEPORTY DEVICE (1/6) and put the electrodes over your head (not advice I would normally recommend.) If you mouse over the device it will show you what leve you are on (0111111).
Go left and flip the little lever. Now you can get to level 2 with the teleporty device (TD). Before you do that climb the ladder and go up to the screen you started on (1/2). Now use the device and select the second button. Pick up the STONE SPHERE WITH BIG DOT (2/2).
Use the TD to go back to level 1 and go down one screen. Use it again to go to level 2, you should now be under the stone igloo. Go down and note the cannister with handle. Go right and open all the drawers except the one missing a knob. Grab the document and a SMALL CHEST OPENER (2/6).
Go right. Note the giant stone circle thingy. Because the levels overlap and if you've been mapping in your head (or on a piece of paper) you'll realize that you are now in a scene you couldn't get to on the first level. Use the TD to go back to the first level. You are now on the spaceship you saw earlier.
Use the small chest opener to open the, wait for it, small chest. Get a COG WHEEL and A PICTURE (1/7). Go right and get the ENERGY COIL (1/8). Go up and get the STONE SPHERE WITH A CROSS (1/9).
Use the TD to go to level 2. Get the PICTURE (2/9). Note the round stone table with turnable arrows and an "N" on it's face. Go down the stairs and click on the blackboard. The levels you are able to go to correspond to the display.
Go left two times and use the TD to return to level 1. Go left and see how the energy coil is next to the machine that opened level 2 up. Go up twice and left, then use the TD to go back to level 2. Put the energy coil in the device and go right twice. Flip the lever to open level 3.
Use the TD to go to level 3. Go left twice and place the cog wheel. Pull the curved lever. Go right twice and get the CUBE (3/3), then go left and down. Pick up the BEAMER ARM (3/4). Go down and get the document. Go right, note the stick lever. Go right again and see a familiar stone circle with a wedge missing.
Go back to level 2 and rotate the stone circle until the wedge is on the bottom right. This will give you the STONE SPHERE WITH LINES (3/7). There is also a tile with a circle on it, if you click it you can find a secret.
Go right and push the cube on the base of the pillar. Examine your pictures to get an order for where you place the stone spheres (solution at end of WT). Go up the ladder and place the cube in the slot. Push it in and this will open up level 4.
Go to level 4 and note handle. Go down and note cannister with handle. Go left and get DRAWER HANDLE (4/7). Go left and see the room is filled with sludgy water, you can go no lower. Use the TD to go back to level 2, and use the drawer handle to open the drawer to get the SMALL MIRROR (2/6). Go left and use the TD to go back to level 4.
Pull the handle and hear a rushing noise. Unless your sound is off, and then just use your imagination. Go up the ladder. Get the picture. Go up and left, get the document. Note the stick lever. Go right twice and get the WIRE (4/3).
WALKTHROUGH Part 2
ReplyDeleteGo left and then down twice. Use the TD for level 2 and go right once. Use the TD again for level 4. Now you can go down to an area that is only accessible on this level - which means new scenes on the other levels to explore! Go down and note the outlet that looks like it needs something.
Use the TD for level 1. Take the LADDER STEP and remove the FUSE from the outlet (1/0). You can go up a screen and place the ladder step, but it's not necessary. Go to level 2 and note the lever. Get the STONE PYRAMID (2/0). There's nothing to do yet on level 3, so go back to level 4 and insert the fuse into the outlet.
Use the fuse and go up. Go right twice and go up. Turn the handle (you are at 4/9 now) and open level 5. Go to level 5 and note stick lever. Go down and get
the BEAMER ARM (5/8). Go left and note stone column and cat. Go left and note archway, it has five connected glowing dots and two that are not lit. Go down to get a document.
Go back up and left. Go up and get a document. Go to level 1 and go up and right. Go to level 5 and place the stone pyramid and the mirror (on the stone satelite dish looking thing). Turn the stone pyramid you placed. This opens up level 6. Go to level 6, note the cannister with handle.
Go left, plug in the wire. Go down, there's a document semi hidden on the left. Go down and get another picture. Go right. The handle closes a door, but we know how to get around those, don't we? Close the door then go to level two and go right. Go back to level 6. Get a picture from the closed door.
Examine the large contraption - it has a 2, 4, and 6 on it, and a handle on the side. Set the handle to "2" and go to level 2. Go left twice and pull the (now green) cannister handle. Go back to level 6 and go right. Open the door and set the handle on "4".
Go to level 4 and go right. Pull the handle. Go back to level 6, and while on this screen get the WHEEL BUTTON (6/8). Go left and set the handle to "6" then go left twice. Go up twice and right, then pull the handle. Go left, down twice, and right twice.
Get the POWer STORAGE CELL (6/7). Go right and up, and get the second BEAMER ARM (6/9). Use the TD for level 2 and place the wheel button on the round stone table. Use the picture, noting the "S", so you'll need to do the opposite for the arrow directions. Solution at bottom.
Go down, left, left, left, up, and get the CATALYST STONE (2/4). Use the TD for level 6 and go up and left. Use the power storage cell with the wires and go right. Place the three beamer arms and flip the lever to open level 7. Go to level 7.
Go left and get the document. Go right and down. Use the TD for level 2 and go down. Use the TD for level 7. Go right and down. At this point you can solve the lever puzzle. Once you have solved this, go back to level 5 to the upper left (5/1) and collect the ENERGY TRAIL. Return to level 1. Go right and down twice, then right again. Go to level 7 and go right.
Place the catalyst stone on the little volcano. Go right and collect the VALVE (7/8). Go up and collect the STONE BUTTON (7/9). Return to level 5, go down and left. Place the stone button. Use the TD for level 2 and go right. Turn on every location (green) on the blackboard. Return to level 5.
Go left once and push the button. Go left again and place the energy trail. Enter the door and check out the secrets.

Wow, great walkthrough, Sarah Brown! Must have been a real lot of work. Kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteSecrets
ReplyDelete1 click on the floor tile just left of the round circle thingy on level 3
2 after you have placed the little cog on level 3 go back to level 1 go right, move the long lever across further to the right, then go back to where you placed the little cog and the secret will be there.
3 when you get the hammer go to the secret room with the red dome and smash it for another secret.
4 on level 5 smash the cat with the hammer, place the stone pin in the plinth, use the glowing orb to light up the letters in the plinth, then push the button for the secret.
5 on level 6 where you picked up the button for the NSEW puzzle in level 2 there are 2 flat discs to the right, smash them and find the final secret.
I hope this helps. (and makes sense)
Excellent Sarah! Thank you! Btw the valve is used in 7F (by evans' system) or 7/(5) by your system, just above the village. Don't know what it does though, till I play again!
ReplyDeletethe valve is used to open the box where the hammer is as i remember !
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! I'll have to go back and replay again. =) I love these games, got so excited to see a new submachine.
ReplyDeletewhat a great job @Sarah Brown! Congrats! I started a WT earlier, but I quickly got discouraged seeing all the quantity of info that had to be provided :) (the fact that it was already 10:30 pm in my time zone didn't help either)
ReplyDeletethanx @Bronte.cakes - I think you were very few people to find all 5 secret items, I never got past 3 and I had to peek at the postings to find them!
imo this is a truly exciting game.
if anyone is having PROBLEMS GETTING THE GAME TO LOAD, TRY EMPTYING YOUR CACHE (in Safari "Empty Cache..." appears in a drop down menu). It sounds like @evans was having the same problem I was b/c I also couldn't load other games. @Enjoy, I hope this helps you, too! If not, try playing using Chrome, as it's my understanding that this won't work in IE.
ReplyDelete@Sarah Brown, my hat is off to you for your great WT! It was too daunting a task for me.
ReplyDeleteWEll, still won't load in FF or Safari. I think it is the Gameso site. Cant load other games in the site either. Never had problems until the last few games.
ReplyDeleteI am able to load it from the link above
Great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah Brown for the walkthrough, it helped me find the 2 things I needed, and thanks escapism for the map!
ReplyDeleteI had an issue earlier this week after downloading the newest flash update ..nothing would load... In firefox I had to disable the adblocker to make flash load.
ReplyDeleteI have since enabled it without any problems.
Thank you Sara! I was stuck FOREVER on Level 4 until your walk through. :)
ReplyDeleteFYI I have been having major problems getting games to load lately..anything this site or gamershood hosts I just can't get past the black screen. I just got the new firefox, so that might be why. Kongregate has submachine 8 up though, thats where I went to play it.
ReplyDeleteHelp! have got one more button to go but the left alter on level 2 will not open. i used the paper clues to set the right alter and the other one won't budge. What do I do???
ReplyDelete@Mutaugh, did you reverse and flip the paper clue? Since the paper has N at the top and S at the bottom, you must match it to the right alter, which has N at the bottom, E on the left, S at the top, and W on the right.
ReplyDeleteGreat game. Reminds me a bit of the Myst games.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the excellent Walkthrough, @Sarah Brown!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love these games but I'm pretty sure I have never made it out of one without lots and lots of help!
The game designer is and always will be...MY HERO!!!!! never ceases to amaze me with his brilliance, thx again M! I gladly paid the 2 dollars and would do so aagain, and again, and again!
ReplyDeletewell i eventually played this last night with the excellent help from sarah's walkthrough!! when i got to the end i had trouble finding the hammer/using the valve, but eventually got it and also i think i did the end wrong because i got 4 out of 5 secrets, didn't get the one from the stone cat, so i think i must have done the order wrong there!
ReplyDeletebut am not going to play it again just to find the fifth one! it was a great game as usual from that creator! worth the wait!
Ohhh goody goody goody... Only just starting! And judging by the amount of comments here, I will probably need your walkthrough @ Sarah Brown... So thanks in advance LOL :)
ReplyDeleteLol ahhh so so close... but can't find the energy trail!
ReplyDeleteOk looking back... it seems i must have the levers wrong. Giving it another go :)
ReplyDeleteGot it. What a brilliant game! Couldn't of done it without the walkthrough though. Bring on 2013 for the next one LOL ;)
ReplyDeleteSarah Brown, thank you for the great wt. Must have been a ton of work.
ReplyDeleteI'm out but still have wheel in my inventory...is that normal?
ReplyDeleteHave to play again...find all the secret....ohhh
ReplyDeleteThe two papers with the circles and designs correspond to the red spheres
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to place the beamer arms. One piece is stuck to my mouse and I can't place it anywhere, or put it back in my inventory.
