Spoiler

sponze and sodium carbonate.

[close]

but i'm not sure what to do now. please help.

Spoiler

it seems i have to use the sodium with painting, but he says he can't yet.

[close]

Spoiler

also, i managed to open the lock by sure luck on the 1st try, just randomly selecting pins.

but are there any hints for the combination that i missed.

Spoiler

Use the sodium carbonate on the sponge

[close]

And the lock is actually a random puzzle, and it's been quite annoying to some people.

I'll make it more straight foward in an update or something.

Thanks for playing

So...

About that lock...

How does it work? Cause I tried all combinations (after all it's only 0 and 1...) and nothing worked... I can't seem to find something to press in order to check if the wardrobe is open. Or do I have to simply get out the wardrobe and see if it worked?

BTW, great game, and great music. Did you write the music?

jetxl · Wed 22/11/2006 09:37:15

Random lock combinations with no clues. Do you hate us that much?

it doesn't seem to work. must the sponge be wet first? it doesn't do anything when i use it with the taps. at the moment it says "solid sponze" when i look at it, but when i try using the sodium with the sponge there is no reply. $:-\$

A random lock? Now, that's just not fair on the player. Some of us have better things to do than try 128 combinations.

Let us know when you've fixed it, please. Perhaps you could:

Spoiler

make the clicks different for the right tumblers (although this would make it far too easy).

Another idea: hide a key somewhere that is broken so you can't put it in the lock, but that you can examine to see the pattern required.

I guessed the lock-code, but don't remember it completely.

Spoiler

three pins were down, I think none were next to each other and the leftmost was one of three down ones.

Ditto, except mine says "soiled sponge"

You have to

use the chemical on the taps, not the sponge. Though I agree that the other way should work too.

Yes, the...

Spoiler

Sodium Carbonate needs to be diluted first, and then used on the sponge. I'm looking into putting some "No, not like that." type messages into the object interactions. It'll be fixed in ver 1.1

As for the lock...

Spoiler

Yeah, I screwed up there. I need some kind of way for the player to know they're on the right track. It'll be in the update.

I still have not found the phone and am ready to give up. I have looked everywhere. The one bluish object that looks like it could be a phone is not a hotspot, so I cannot figure out what I am missing.

it is a light blue object, half hidden by the lower border of the picture. So you can't see it clearly. Turn around *slowly* and leave the mouse pointer at the lower edge. Took me also two minutes to find it.

I can see it, it just won't come up as a hot spot. Maybe I need to reinstall.
