just got started and i'm stuck on puzzle 1,any hints out there?
hahaha very funny,
I think it is too early to ask, isnt it?
Try, try, try harder, some good poits are at the completed game announcements
Visible:
Don't get distracted by the numbers....
Less obvious:
Spoiler
Take a good look at the first line and....
The clue to it all:
Spoiler
Take the first line very literal.
Okay, the second puzzle.
I know I won't be able to solve this, might as well ask right away.
Could definately use another clue...
Thanks Leon, so I guess I'm on the right track then. After posting ealier, I finally realized that;
Spoiler
No, it can't be like a cryptogram. I finally noticed that the numbers are written like in poetry (a septet is a seven line poem) which is what the paper's messege was in.
I on the right track?
I'm also unclear of how the answers should be written. Is it a one word answer or more than one word?

It's FAR easier then that. I think you're thinking of the "wrong" first line. Read Leon's post again and you'll figure it out ;)
2 Snake:Answers, as far as I understood, may contain more than one word...
And following the Bulbapuck's reply: yes, you're overemphasizing the text of the "riddle" ;)
Spoiler
Remember the gates to Moria and Gandalf trying to guess the riddle written on them: Say friend and enter...

...the Bulbapuck...
haha, it sound like a title ;D I like it!
Now: the second puzzle is driving me MAAAD!! (as you can witness by my increasing posting :P)
Please, another clue, pretty please?
Spoiler
It=train so Train backwards=niart
Am I on the right track?
@david: yes.. partially i guess.. :P
@bulbapuck:
Spoiler
use the hint from the game, and look at leon's clue on your post on the completed game announcements
anyway, i'm stuck at the room with the frame with inscription, clue anyone?
Spoiler
i guess to replace those numbers with letters, but it doesn't really works..
Alright, this is driving me crazy. I'm still stuck. I guess I'm more blind than I thought. Everyone seems to be getting the first one after a couple hints, but I can't be arsed to figure it out for myself.
Snake,
Spoiler
concentrate only at the first statement that appears when you type 'repeat'
@David:
Yes you are..
Spoiler
but try to say it in other words...
@Mintymint:
There are more of those... can you tell me which one?
@Snake:
Like I said:
Spoiler
Take the first line of the riddle very literally.
@leon
thanks as Englsh is not my first language, I always use the word as i said before ;D
But with a closer look you can see clearly what the word is.
Thanks again
the next riddle is far too simple for me because I know this :D
The third is a very famous one... But count very carefully. ;-)
I'm simply couldn't resist riddles 3 and 4, they're classics :D
Damn you, I finally got the answer to first one.
It took few tries though, I did not write full answer at first.
Snake, just in case you got same problem using all those hints above -

@Snake:
Like I said:
Spoiler

Spoiler
The first line is the very really absolutely first line of the riddle. Just do what it sais.
The next one is
Spoiler
never
Now the evil one is on
Enjoying it :D
I'm REALLY glad you like it! I'll be sure to make a sequel if it's well liked.
Always remember that you can type 'hint' if you're stuck! That is, until the end portion of the game. For the last several riddles your character will be too spent by the difficulty of the riddles and nasty atmosphere of the mansion to be of any help. Even if what he says doesn't sound like a hint, it's very possible that the hint you're reading is a riddle of its own.
the land of the sentinel and imperial explosions
Sorry, dont understand this one at all ??? ::)

Spoiler
google is your friend
yeah ive googled it but without any luck
i thik i should use US google
One part is the other part. This gives you a location.
Phew... couldn't get it more cryptic.
What can "The Sentinel" be? (other than a movie/video game).
The name:
Spoiler
Try to find out what's called "the Sentinel" and where it's located.
The object:
Spoiler
Try to find out what imperial explosions can be. Think natural phenomenon..
The location:
Spoiler
Search for natural phenomenon in nature reserves in the USA.
Oh come on! I can't be the only idiot here ::)
still on the second puzzle, I think I'm overthinking it:
Spoiler
I tried writing everything I could think of backwards, didn't work.
So it's something else, I noticed that you can see the door, meaning that the train is going to the right.. I think. But I doubt it's anything about that since countries have different rules for that.
then I tried to find a pattern in the scribblings on the wheels, nothing...
I can't solve this with only the hints I've gotten.. please help.
Hmmm I'm pretty sure that
Spoiler
there's another word for what's in the picture
oh for cripes sake, I misspelled, haha ;D ;D ;D
Thank you Domithan! The game is awesome!
Quote from: Leon on Mon 25/01/2010 16:50:41
There are more of those... can you tell me which one?
It's the first one, the one with 3-1-16-1-2-12-5Leon, nevermind, i manage to solved it.. silly me..
Spoiler
16=p, not 16=af ; 12=l, not 12=ab :P
ok, I have googled for some time:
this is the result:
imperial explosions in the US+phenomenon gives me OSHAs big Dust then Globalization etc
the land of sentinel in the US gives me Sugar company, agriculture then natural resources Dominica
but wen you type: the land of the sentinel and imperial explosions
on the first place is What???
cryptic - the link to this website ;D
Alright. Sentinel and Imperial are both the same phenomenon.
A little more:
Spoiler
Sentinel can also be found as meadows or cone..
The phenomenon:
Spoiler
They're both geysers...
The location:
Spoiler
should be easy to find now...
I now see how fast Google works.. ;-)
And I also see I made a typo on the other page: it's not explosion
s, just explosion. And yeah, that was cryptic as well...
Ok, I got it ;D
thanks Leon
Who would check it with meadows or geysers?
As for the next riddle
Spoiler
why not change/swap wheelbarrows also?
the bunnies riddle
Am I on the right track?
Spoiler
i used my cell phone, my phone also with the alpabet, yet some strange words came out...I feel that i am close to this solution, and what tool should I use?
You're spot on! And the tool: make it portable, not every machine has the right 'decoder'....

Uh, um what? I dont get it. Right decoder? you mean i have to use LEFT decoder? ;D
Nope. By spot on I meant the way to decipher. But in this case, you need to use another key.
You need to use
Spoiler
a keyboard.
Not just any...
Spoiler
the one of a laptop.
Alrighty, I finally got passed the first one :P
Now I'm on the second one. I think the biggest problem I'm having is understanding exactly what it is I'm trying to figure out...
Spoiler
I'm guessing that I must type what IT is? Am I the only one who feels like the directions on what to do in this scene are unclear?
Eventhough it took me a ton of hints to solve, at least I knew what my direction was in the first scene, this one I just don't know what's going on. For example, do I even still have the piece of paper with the pencil? Or am I supposed to SAY the answer, or push a button or pull a lever... see what I mean? There's many ways of solving puzzles. I don't know what I have for options, or if they have even changed.
If nothing is different from the first scene, than I assume I will be writing answers on this piece of paper the whole game?
@Leon ahaaa :o
@snake: correct, only type repeat, hint, save, load, quit and the answer of course
@Snake: Look at the hints I got, they helped a bunch, especially the one on this page by Domithan.
and you're supposed to write the answer, yes.
I'm stuck in this room:
Spoiler
147 258 369 159 357 951 ???
I'm usually good at finding patterns, but I have no clue here. Could I get a hint?
@Bulbapuck:
Give me a call and I'll help... ;)
OOoooooooh
That's so clever! I love it ;D Thanks Leon!
@Snake: Sorry if you're having trouble, but if the directions were clear, this game wouldn't be called 'cryptic' :P
Anyways, as far as a hint:
Spoiler
Look at what's in the picture...think of different words for what it is. Then doing something backwards will help
Well, number 6 (the cellar)
Spoiler
is very hard for a European... we tried everything from the periodic system to us states and mathematical stuff
But finally we made it ;D
Hey, congrats! I'll try to make the next game a bit more world-wide friendly.
I'm still playing this ;D
Here's where I'm stuck:
Spoiler
You've done just so well to make it this far
So close to freedom, you truly are.
Since it appears you're incapable of being vexed
...couldn't you tell me... what's next?
I really have absolutely no clue as to how to think here. A hint maybe? ;)
btw. number 6 was close to impossible for me too :P
You're in room 18 now..... do I need to say more?
Spoiler
Next is.... room 19...
hahahahah,
Spoiler
i just wrote "19" :P
Thank you Leon, now I know to trust my first instinct more ;)
I know I'm about 2 weeks late but I'm stuck on
Spoiler
The girl's name in the book title?
I've tried everything and I must be the only idiot not to get it :P
Edit: Whoops, got it now. The power of Google eh? ;)
