I could use some help. anyone else playing?
ReplyDeleteJust in. Hope we can help each other.
ReplyDeletemade some progress....seems interesting
ReplyDeleteI need SD !!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a pencil, 2 pieces of paper that I put together and used pencil on. Two blue dolls (one had a key on the back) and now stuck. I really need two screwdrivers and more keys.
ReplyDeleteI used the little man to remove the bolt on the plant and get the bottle of water.
ReplyDeletei am where you are evans
ReplyDeleteI was thinking that you could use the maze to rotate the big doll but couldn't get it to work.
ReplyDeleteboth dolls go on scale thing on desk but nothing happens.
ReplyDeleteottle of water inside the pot with plant
ReplyDeletei think eventually we find second balance pan and put dolls on to get needle to tick
ReplyDeleteWhere was right side of paper maze?
ReplyDeleteone was between halves of coloum and one in desk drawer you open with key from back of larger doll.
ReplyDeleteWater goes on towel
ReplyDeleteWhere is the balance pan?
ReplyDeleteThink the maze and doll do go together but can't get it.
ReplyDeleteno one has the balance pan yet.
ReplyDeleteTowel cleans picture on shelf
ReplyDeleteErgh stuck with a domino box and a 3 button doll.
ReplyDeleteThe finished maze (after you use the pencil on it) is for the L/R doll. Look at which direction the path goes and how far (180 degrees to the left, turning the face to the back, aka 2 clicks, is the first one)
Opened the doll and got a screwdriver
ReplyDeletegot all dolls, scribbled pad, dice grid and stuck
ReplyDeletealso stuck with domino and 3 button doll. Used pencil on pad of paper and got hint but don't know how to apply it to the doll
ReplyDeleteThe hint refers to the row of dominoes on the box. Literally read the dots on the dominoes from left to right and press the doll's buttons accordingly. Hope that helps! :)
ReplyDeletety kiwi
ReplyDeleteNope, KiwiKate, still confused. can you explain better?
ReplyDeleteevans.....dice dots are slanted, so if it's a 3 in the cell it means hit the top first then middle then bottom since top button is on left nd bottom is on right
ReplyDeletegot the handle, now how do I get the 3rd doll out to work the scale?
ReplyDeleteevans.....if you put small doll on the emblem then you can pull it through after it closes
ReplyDeleteI'm out. Remember, the smallest doll can fit through the cage on the right side. :)
ReplyDeleteRight, DrLee, thanks for the explanation, was away from the 'puter for a moment! Are you understanding, evans?
ReplyDeletei have flat SD and 3 dolls and put them in the spots on the shelf but not seeing what to do next?
ReplyDeleteOh, good, you got a handle on it, evans, lol! Sorry, hadn't refreshed the page!
ReplyDeletenevermind...
ReplyDeleteI have all the dolls, opened the windows and am now stuck on machine with lever. Not sure how to work that or what y,r,b,g colour hint is for.
ReplyDeleteOut, thanks for all the help. Great game!
ReplyDeleteThe lever changes the color of the dolls.
ReplyDeletewhere is the water in the plant? Can't find it at all. :(
ReplyDeleteWater is in the base of the plant. have to unlock with doll key on side.
ReplyDeleteWhere is doll with the key? I'm stuck and my clicking finger is hurting now

ReplyDeletePlz can someone help, I cannot get the L/R from the maze! Im stuck on stupid!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Clee-- where does the hint for the paper maze apply? I'm giving this game a thumbs down-- it's stressing me out which defeats the purpose! lol
ReplyDeleteGuess everyone is gone. I'll try this game another time then.
ReplyDeleteAny help? I have no idea how to get the doll out of the cage
ReplyDeleteThe little doll we found in the big doll can be turned left and right that is where you use the maze . I wanted LLLRRLLL but not getting it that way LOL

ReplyDeletethanks for all your great hint but I can't find flat sd
ReplyDeleteI have only 3 dolls
help please
Ok found key
ReplyDeleteput medium doll in big dool, put on right side balance and put little doll on left side balance
I can only have 2 doll at the same time. One is being in the cage. How can I have 3 dolls at the same time?
ReplyDeletetautau put little doll in right cage (to open left cage), and after you can take it through the bars of right cage
ReplyDeleteThanks seb, 3 dolls now.
ReplyDeleteGreat game. Out finally.
ReplyDeletei too need flat head SD...
ReplyDeletenowhere to see...
arbeitslooser , read my com 11:59, key gives flat sd
ReplyDeleteGreat game! thanks for the hints
ReplyDeleteI cannot find second paper piece with the maze. Someone said the second piece comes from one of the drawers with the key you get from behind the big doll but I cannot get to see behind the big doll. Help please
ReplyDeletekey for second paper is behind the doll where you can do the L R code
ReplyDeleteyou find this doll in the very big doll
Got it. Missed a seed thingy that was on the family pic.
ReplyDelete@seb
ReplyDeleteMy problem is that your explanation was illogical...
put medium doll in big dool
Should read: "into biggest doll you can get hold of" ( = momma doll)
Since once you've managed to unscrew daddy doll, he will be the "big doll".
Medium-sized one into momma doll...yes this finally works.
yes you are right !
ReplyDeletebut when I can put dolls on balance I have only 3 dolls, and don't thought to write exactly momma doll for the biggest of the three ...
sorry
Great game!
ReplyDelete@seb ... big & big ... everything's relative ...
ReplyDeletebut to something more important...
COLORS MAY VARY!
So if you follow a YT walkthrough, don't get fooled by the color assignments. It's amazing how Kotorinosu managed this at all, but I had different colors in that "lamp half" and the one from the WT did not work!
This game rocked. Made sense and stumped me at the same time. Thanks to everyone that helped.
ReplyDeletebrilliant game! Made slow but steady progress right until the colour cupboard and took at least 10 mins to figure out there were more than just red and blue options!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome game! 6 stars out of 5. I wish MORE escape games were like this. Logical, challenging, unique, and yet so simple at the same time. Very well done, Kotorinosu!
ReplyDeleteDo you color the dolls from the middle outward or the other way? And where do they go after you color them? I've read all the comments and maybe I missed it, but don't see it anywhere.
ReplyDeleteOH, you put them inside each other and on the shelf above where you change color?
ReplyDeleteOk. The colors go from the inside out and yes, you put the dolls inside each other and on that shelf. My biggest doll was green, but it seems it's different for each game.
ReplyDeleteLink to walkthrough :3
ReplyDeleteI agree this was a fantastic game!
ReplyDeleteFinally out thanks for all the hints xx
ReplyDeleteI only can find 3 seed things (plant, clock and fm. picture). How many do I have to find and where are they please?
ReplyDeleteYou can see in the link to the walkthrough that I found if you want :P
ReplyDeleteNvm. Found it finaly!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sushi S
ReplyDeleteHow do u get the flat head screwdriver?
ReplyDeleteThe maze hint doesn't work on the doll : it shows RLLRRLLR.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could understand how the maze can be used to turn the doll head, but it doesn't seem to be related.
ReplyDeleteFantastic game!
ReplyDeleteGot hopelessly stuck in the beginning - I would have never guessed the "seed placement hint" - but from then on it was a relatively smooth gliding.
ReplyDeleteI liked it. Kotorinosu still keeps nailing it.
How do u get the flat head screwdriver?
ReplyDeleteWell, you need to do something else first. Set the dolls as described above for both pans of the scale, get the key from the compartment that opens, and unlock the left of the two drawers.
SD is inside.
Wow, that was all kinds of fun. Tough but really great puzzles.
ReplyDeleteWhere I got stuck? The last key to open the lever door to color the dolls. Once you open the windows, return to where the two arrows are and click on the shelf that has appeared. Click on the little panel and there is that key! Super game! Loved it!
Thanks for the hint about retrieving the little one through the bars!
ReplyDeleteDesperate for a WT!
ReplyDeleteMust be missing something obvious and confused by comments, which seem to be written by people who got further than I before offering/asking for hints.
I only have one doll in hand, one on desk I can't take and one behind bars that won't move.
Can't open doll on desk (I think because I need an SD to get petals/tear drops from picture). Also can't see behind it (?to find SD?)
Also, have a pencil and left paper from chimney.
Lots of places to use + and - SDs, key holes galore.
Oh, and doll behind bars won't move.
ReplyDeleteuseless picture you can zoom on, table by couch you can't zoom on.
No POP for me today! ;(
@PuzzledinCA:
ReplyDeleteLook at the picture that you cleaned again. There are three of those petals/tear drops that are a different color. Use them to know how to place the three petals/tear drops you already have.
I'm giving up this nonsense.
ReplyDeleteI'm giving up this nonsense.
ReplyDeleteVery clever game.....
ReplyDeleteI'd gladly write a walkthrough, but since the Flash version of the game is planned to get WITHDRAWN on July 27 (what an idiotic idea!) all the effort put into my walkthrough will have been vain from July 28 since no one will be able to play the game on their PC any more.
ReplyDelete@pdgph I thought the same thing at first, took me a while to wrap my head around it. Pretend that South is the direction the doll is facing when it's looking at you. You're moving the head to follow the line. North means the face is facing away from you.
ReplyDeleteWow that was a good one. Tough for me and when that happens my star rating for the game goes up. Thank you all for your comments cause I sure needed them. 5 star
ReplyDeleteWoo-Hoo! Thanks @jbg!
ReplyDeleteThe maze clue for the L/R puzzle was absolutely
ReplyDeleteSHITE!
pdgph,
ReplyDeleteThe maze hint doesn't work on the doll : it shows RLLRRLLR.
larue,
I think it was 2L1R2L3R.
TY larue, otherwise I'd be stuck....
Anti-logic
What does the comment mean, "Flash game available until July 27? Does anyone know?
ReplyDelete@Trig
ReplyDeleteSure! As I wrote above, the author will withdraw the Flash version of this game so that it will no longer be accessible!
Unfortunately, Kotorinosu didn't think too far when making that decision: there will be tons of people who are on vacation and who will return *exactly* when the game is taken offline!!
You are right: this was a stressful game! The domino dots were hard to decipher so I used the clues from you guys (I originally thought it was a single number each, hadn't thought them as a combination). Every time I thought this is it, I am out, I wasn't. Eventually I climbed out of the matryoska giant and I am free! Hurray!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG - I just didn't know where to place the dolls at the end, so I checked the WT and followed it a bit too closely by changing the colors of my dolls without realizing that they are DIFFERENT for each game, or at least mine were different from those in the WT!!! Took me quite a while to change them back....
ReplyDeleteKate, this is just why I wrote that comment ( 7/19/14, 7:06 AM ) ;))
ReplyDeleteThat was AMAZING :)))
ReplyDeleteWhere is the handle for the cupboard under the papa doll? Evans said he got it, but didn't say where.
ReplyDeleteThe handle is inside the doll with the 3 buttons, use pencil in notebook to get dominoes to use, then go left to right for each individual pip (highest, middle, lowest).
ReplyDeleteHi Tiquer, I'm just starting on it - I saw nothing to indicate that the clue for the drops in the doll's face should be upside down, had to watch the video. Where's the clue for that? I'd tried reversing L-R, which seemed logical. Anyway it's
ReplyDeleteSPsOIwLEneR
the exact opposite of the picture.
lol, love ending!
ReplyDeleteWow... I'm really impressed by this game. Really challenges your intellect and is really different from other escape-the-room games! I love it! Thank you so much, Kotorinosu! I really hope you see this comment.
ReplyDeleteMaze giving me a headache. Can't win 'em all.
ReplyDeletepencil on top of picture frame. For me it was hidden behind the "how to play" button.
ReplyDeleteput child and mommy doll on right and baby doll on left to get key.
ReplyDelete"how to play" button can be closed. I must have opened it by mistake.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fantastic! Thank you KOTORINOSU
ReplyDeletethankd
ReplyDeletelove japanese games, wished they create new games
ReplyDeletewhen i put the scale back together, it was still leaning towards one side. it was not balanced.
