Da's een mooie, Bart!

Loopt helaas niet helemaal lekker en is traag. (toch IE versie 9)

Hmmm... doesn't seem to work for me

Rob said...

Opera: helemaal niks...

Bart said...

It's working fine in Firefox and Chrome.

it doesn't work in firefox

Steve said...

Not working in Firefox. D'oh.

DQ said...

Doesn't work for me neither. Just downloaded FF6 and Flash 10.3 but still no luck.
To bad, looks great.

DQ said...

@Rob: Just tried IE9 and that works for me.

Doesn't work for me...all I'm getting is a page with a gorilla, dinaosaur, and spaceships. Like it's frozen on that spot.

Bart said...

Oops seems not to work in many cases. For me it's working with latest Firefox and Chrome under windows.

I really enjoyed this game, Bart. Thanks for sharing it!

I used latest version of Firefox and had no troubles with the game at all.

Works fine for me with Firefox 6.0.

Not working for me..Passing on it.

Why isn't it working, seems 90% are having the same problem as I.

Did it! I think it's nice. There was only one puzzle I solved only by pure chance, still don't know where to find the hint for positioning the birds on the fireplace.

DQ said...

Finally made it. Great game but never found the second piece of paper.

After seeing all the not working comments I'm just going to skip it entirely.

Anonymous said...

Phew, made it!
It's fine in Firefox 5.

The clue for the birds is in the car picture in the bedroom

Rava said...

Done! Nice game, tricky puzzles at times!

I don't like it. It's hard even with the walkthrough.

Anonymous said...

safari is fine too, a bid hard going to need hints :)

I had to guess the colours on the globe. Where was the hint for that?

Tom said...

Works fine with the latest Firefox. I tried both on Linux and on Windows and had no problems.

Nice game. The puzzles tend to be serial, with a fairly constrained order of what needs to be done next, but I found it refreshing.

The hint for the globe is in the room with the dog painting on the wall. After you have opened the door to the hallway, go back to the secret passage. pull the handle. Enter the room from the hallway. Look at the poster.

Jessica said...

very cool game so far. very slow changing from frame to frame, though. XP

Jimmy said...

worked well for me - bit tricky but still solvable

NotMarian (and not Anonymous) said...

Fun game!! Played it on Firefox. Thanks, Jennifer. The globe clue was really eluding me.

Hey, Anonymous at 2:18. At least Rob is creative enough to use an actual name.

Stephen said...

Really nice game, I first played this game as an app for my iPod. On PC side for some reason the game play lagged and was slow to react, not as nice as their app version.

But still nice.

dosent work in ie

Jack said...

Wow! This was probably the best escape games yet.
* logical puzzles
* no pixel-hunting
* top quality production

I prefer the mild difficulty puzzles over needing to solve algebra/suduku in games.

Here's what Rob said in English.

Runs unfortunately not entirely nice and is slow. (nevertheless IE version 9)

F.Y.I. He said it in Dutch.

This game works fabulously in Firefox 5. It's awesome - the absence of Flash is great. It really showcases HTML5. The puzzles are fun, too. :)

Rahh said...

the combination won't open for me the screen is just black, if anyone else has the same problem it's 42-34-15

dyork said...

No problem at all in FF 6.0. Blocky graphics and a little slow on first opening a new scene, plus some picky mouse clicking; otherwise fine.

Puzzles are moderately hard but reasonably well clued. Tends to get easier towards the end.

On balance, no complaints. Well worth the price.

Mecha Velma said...

The style and music is reminiscent of The 7th Guest.

The ending ... is not.

DQ said...

I think the reason why it isn't working in so many cases is your security settings. Yesterday it didn't work in FF, but now I've enabled cookies for this site and it works fine.

Doesn't work with Windows 8.

PyroLuna said...

Where is the walkthrough?

Anonymous said...

i didn't find this hard at all .. *shrug. just search every room. put the clues together and find what you need to find.

i really liked it.

Rob said...

"HEY Rob, NO ONE SPEAKS FOREIGN!!"

Okay.... excuse me....

Anonymous said...

PyroLuna look back at Anon 22:06...there is your walkthrough.
