Good Luck.  I gave up on this game.  The English is so muddled, that it's extremely hard to understand.  I tried following the help thing at the beginning too, but I just couldn't really get anywhere.... then i got to a puzzle where I had to a math story problem with X and Y and all that nonsense, and I was like... Forget this!  I play games to get away from stuff like that!

Hi Potch. I Know what you mean, but i like to solve puzzles like this. - Not really all i did was ask the right questions at the help in the game and it gave me the solution. But i still can figer out what to do with the d... mashine in the kitchen. If anyone has figered it out please HELP!!!

Hello,

Thanks to play my game. I fully agree the puzzles are hard and some people dislike this.
But I tried to build puzzles like Myst/Shizm... that I like too and that are hard too.

So if you don't enjoy this type of game you will probably not enjoy mine...

That is the reason I built a included help system to avoid people to be stuck. To get it, when you play the game, right click on mouse till you get the INV icon, then left click to open the inventory and on top you will find a HELP button. Push it and I will appear to help you. you can also click on it when starting the game on the title screen (there is a HELP stickers you can click on)

Instead of giving a full walkthrough, I tried to build a system like UHS (see http://www.uhs-hints.com/) but after a while I saw it was really bad done and I tried to finish my game quite fast to publish it.

Finally I fully agree that the english is awful for 2 reasons:
1) I'm a french guyÃ,  :o
2) I did this help too fast and even in french some sentences would not be really understandable.Ã,  :-[

Hope you will go a bit beyond this and give other feedback for my first gameÃ,  :)

For the guy that asked where to find the game. Go on the game page and look for beyond the door game in the search system. The game was not available for a while but not it should be solved.

To conclude, for the machine in the kitchen room, you should solve some other puzzles before using it... ;)

Thank you.

Can you tell me HOW you got into the kitchen ???  Did you ever managed to open the door ???

I have
Spoiler
wire cutter, coke, nails, mirror, rope, hammer, gun, bag, key (for cabinet) ??? binoculars (from cabinet)
Spoiler
but I still cannot get out of the room.  I know that if I use the mirror on window the game will end.  I tried it and finished with 144 pts.

Any help will be appreciated.

You are absolutely right.  I tried to play both games and ran into trouble in both games.  I realized my mistake after I had posted in BTD and could not remember how to delete it.  SORRY :-[

Hi sunshinegold

I did start that one and the strangest thing happened, I went upstairs, saw the man in the attic, went downstairs, went upstairs again and I couldn't find the attic. I must have been doing something wrong lol. I will have to give it another go.

I'm a bit confused!

Spoiler
I've turned on all of the machines except for the big one in the dining room.Ã,  I inputed the 3 star configurations like the help specified, but two of the three say I don't have enough power?Ã,  The 3rd one gave me a picture.Ã,  The help says I need to make sure the other machines are on, but I know that they are all on.Ã,  The one in the desk room, the one in the bathroom, the chest in the bedroom, the one in the kitchen.Ã,  I don't know if this is a bug or not.

That's right. You have to turn off the water from the bathroom.

Might be a good idea to start a thread on Mikes Room2 then you might get more help if you need it.

Hi Loch, that happened to me too.  I believe it is a bug.  An updated version of the game is ready I believe.

I just tried this morning and it works well. So I don't get why you cannot download my game. If you send an email to me (jem@melexis.com), I can then email to you the game (around 7MB...Ã,  :o)

Bulrog, I'm guess your the creator of this game. Can you send me hints for this game. [ angelcyreneq@yahoo.com ] I keep finishing with a broken heart. Towards the end, I gave the rose and the candy and after that she still leaves. Plus, on the Read Me file, it says "hidden puzzle" and I want to know what that is.

Bulrog, i find it strange that your game's default winsetup has all its music disabled (it took a while to think of trying the winsetup because all other games never disable those, in my experience ;D)

For Cyreneq, are you sure you are speaking about my game as I don't recognize what you say...Ã,  ???

For al77, I'm a bit disappointed as I tried on my PC and the sound is on by default but perhaps you don't have the default driver for the audio device and then the system puts it to disable by default and then you have to choose by hand. :-\
