Kalaquli: a fresh new escape the room game by 58works to start the week.
This was a very good escape game. It wasn't so easy that I knew how to solve it instantly, but it wasn't hard enough to make me stop playing. Great pick Bart. :)

So from top to bottom the marked ones are 4, 3, 1, 2, 4, 1. Pull the ropes in this order.

Count the points on the throwing stars. 6434 ATTIC WALL PUZZLE The hint on the red scroll after using it in the fire shows a hint like an I and a squared off 8. Click the top left pattern until it shows 2 white squares in the corners near the middle slat. The middle slat should be dark in the middle. The bottom should be like the top slat (white in the corners near the middle slat). The right puzzle should have the middle slat dark in the middle and light at the edges (the top and bottom should have dark on the outer edges and light in the center by the middle slat)
I made it through with one hint about where the sad face was, and I was mad cause that was such an easy find. I love 58 Works, and am glad to see a game from them again. Nice game.
