That was tricky. I had a little trouble with the final puzzle (the bomb), but I eventually figured it out. The thing about these dismantle games is that once you look at the puzzles the right way, they're generally pretty easy, but finding the right way to look at them can be tough.
1. Look at back. Notice there are signs pointing in different directions. 2. Return to front. Pull, push or turn knob on top according to drawing on back. 3. Remove back 4. Notice a point marked "start". Notice "6:00 SKY" 5. Return to face, pull out knob twice, turn in any direction. notice that there are stars that are connected in the inner dial. 6. Go back, push circles in indicated sequence. 7. Remove all screws and cog-wheels. Notice a flap near center 8. Zoom in and open flap. 9. Notice different time-indications and something pointimg to a circle. 10. Return to front. Set indicated times and notice numbers in circle of hour hand. 11. Go to back and set the numbers relating to indicated time. 12. Remove two screws 13. Zoom in to flap in upper right quadrant and open it. 14. Notice there are squares divided into dark and bright halves. 15. Go to front. Notice that roman numbers consist of one or more letters. 16. Go to back and enter the letters that are indicated by dark halves. 17. Remove two screws and everything else. Notice a dial at 6 o'clock. 18. Return to face and notice two markers, one on the housing and one on the dial. Try to get them "in touch" by turning said dial on back. 19. Return to front. Remember "6:00 SKY". Set the hands to 6 o'clock, so that the inner dial shows sky. 20. Click on dial. Click on hands to remove them, remove screw. 21. Go to back. Remove nut from bomb and open flap. 22. Notice, while the time remaining is counting down, that there are circles with dark and bright hemispheres. 23. The dark hemispheres indicate the direction in which to draw a line. 24. Enter the resulting letters, disarm bomb, remove display.
Gosh, I'm really bad at this. :(
ReplyDeleteI love this puzzles. They're always super hard, but satisfying nonetheless.
ReplyDeletethat was a hard one :)
ReplyDeleteDid someone figure out the bomb? I really have no clue
ReplyDeletecan anyone make a walkthrough?
ReplyDeleteAny help on the 'upper' puzzle on the back? ( the four circles?)
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: the four circles are related to positions on the clock. They indicates which letters to choose.
ReplyDeleteI need a hint about the bomb too.
Pitch black so far. :(

ReplyDeleteI don't even know how to start!!!! i'm feeling like an idiot... :(
ReplyDeleteHere's a hint for the final puzzle: Try to connect the dots.
ReplyDeleteGot it! I had already considered connecting the dots, but I wasn't doing it right! So... thank you Tom for confirming that it was the right way! :D
ReplyDelete@Nogi1020: Have you tried to click the top of the clock?
yes... i still don't get what i'm supposed to do!
ReplyDeleteI don't get it. Can someone who has finished the game please make a walkthrough?
ReplyDeleteWhich "dots" should I "connect"????
ReplyDeleteI'm 2 dumb 4 this :-(
God I love these kaitai games.
ReplyDeletefinally figured out the bomb thing

When you see the bomb, it isn't activated yet. There are still hands on the watch, aren't there?

ReplyDeleteWay to (beep)ing hard!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tom. That was all the hint I needed. Love, love, love Katai Dismantlement Games!!! :D
ReplyDeleteI could not solve the last puzzle last night, even with Tom's clue and the walkthrough...I went to bed, and while I was asleep, I figured it out.
ReplyDeleteEscape games are awesome!
Lizzie
I so love the dismantlement games. Thanks, Bart!
ReplyDeleteJust a heads-up that the second-to-last puzzle was changed at some point. This is the one with the dial that can be turned left or right.
ReplyDeletefor the puzzle with the little dial on the bottom of the back:
ReplyDeleteturn in the directions shown, to hit the target areas in numerical order
i hope that helps a bit ;D
