where is 2013?
Where is 2013? Probably hiding somewhere in Mateusz Skutnik's latest point and click game.
OK, got all 10 marbles (though I have no clue where they go), used the first key (though it didn't do anything), and have the second key (located in the slats of the door on the right.) Still stuck...but not giving up!
@Lizzie! thanks for the hint with the second key. I have only 8 marbles, but found 2013 anyway. weird... does it make a difference when you have all the marbles?
the second key goes into the same door as the first key! you don't need the marbles until the very end. just find the right place for the thing behind the door
Oh I am so stupid, I never saw that there were two keyholes. I guess I found 2013 also, but I still never figured out what to do with the marbles. 2013 doesn't want them. =)
The game bugged out on me. I was perhaps halfway through when I clicked on the marbles (I was still missing some) over by the machine with the lever. But once I had them selected, I couldn't un-select them and I couldn't move. Had no choice but to exit the game.
Kata: Did you find the other key? Try clicking on the wire above and to the right on the first screen (the screen that shows all the doors on the building from out in the street).
thank you skutnik and bart! i loved the involvement of the apocolypse, liked how this was different from the other ones, enjoyed giving the alien marbles and being smiled at, and felt honored to save the world from disaster. thanks again! -m.
I looked at the walkthrough and realized why I could never find the 10th marble. The keyhole for the double doors is so TINY, and in the photo view it is hidden behind whatever objects you may be holding. So I never even saw it and could not have clicked on it without clicking on my marbles instead. That's just poor game design right there.
About a week ago someone said they finished the game but don't know what the marbles are used for. Well the answer is that your supposed click on the alien's hand with the 10 marbles.
There it is! ->
ReplyDeleteWell, i can't finish the game, but nobody said it, so Half first! somebody needs to say other half of first, then we can both be first, man!
ReplyDeleteI've got all of the marbles, used a small key, placed two stickers, an insulator and a seal. Now stuck.
ReplyDeleteOkay, managed to find the last sticker and the 2nd key. Interesting end, don't forget to "use" the marbles :P
ReplyDeleteThanks for this, Bart!
Got the insulator, all the stickers and fuses...but only 7 marbles. Grrr. Still looking.
ReplyDeleteOk, now have a small key that doesn't work in any of the keyholes and 9 marbles. *sigh*
ReplyDelete@ -k- where's the second key?

ReplyDelete@Lizzie! thanks for the hint with the second key. I have only 8 marbles, but found 2013 anyway. weird... does it make a difference when you have all the marbles?
ReplyDeleteI am madly clicking around...haven't found a place for the marbles, the second key or 2013. *sad face*
ReplyDeletethe second key goes into the same door as the first key! you don't need the marbles until the very end. just find the right place for the thing behind the door

ReplyDeleteOh, wait...it did. Silly me. It smiled and said thanks. I guess it speaks English. How forward-thinking! Thanks, Anonymous!
ReplyDeleteI've placed the thing from box ... but it doesn't connect with the glass-
ReplyDeletethings...
Well, that was odd.....
ReplyDeleteonly found 7 marbles but found 2013...waiting for a walkthrough to find them all :)
ReplyDeleteWhere is the "first" key, i have found the one in the door to the right but cant find the other one :(
ReplyDeletecan't find it either :( - and can't find the last fuse
ReplyDeleteThe game bugged out on me. I was perhaps halfway through when I clicked on the marbles (I was still missing some) over by the machine with the lever. But once I had them selected, I couldn't un-select them and I couldn't move. Had no choice but to exit the game.
ReplyDeleteWell, luckily I was able to continue since my progress was saved :) I finished, but I only found 7/10 marbles.
ReplyDeleteComplete! With all marbles :)
ReplyDelete"Now we are truly saved"
Just to please you:
ReplyDeleteHalf first!
A nice little point and click from Skutnik. A Happy New Year to you all! Thanks Bart!
ReplyDeleteI found 2013... but it's grey one :P
ReplyDeleteExploring and hunting this environment was very pleasant, especially with the background music and sounds. Nice atmosphere. Good smile at the end :)
Happy [grey] 2013 to everybody!
really slow loading... 3 minutes in and almost halfway!!! wonder what the game is about??? :/
ReplyDeleteno PastelGames where is 2013? awww..... still a fun game though. can't find all the marbles..
ReplyDeletewhat do i do with the black box???
ReplyDeleteinsulator plate?
ReplyDeleteput black box near glass bulbs @person before me
Utterly, utterly mad. But I love it!
ReplyDeleteKata: Did you find the other key? Try clicking on the wire above and to the right on the first screen (the screen that shows all the doors on the building from out in the street).
ReplyDeleteohhhh found it, thank you k :) - and really really appreciated that I could continue instead of starting all over :)
ReplyDeleteHAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!!
this was Kata above :)
ReplyDeleteI love his games where he uses photos from around where he lives. It really gives the game a distinct atmosphere. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteThere is a video walkthrough on youtube if anyone needs the assistance as I did.
ReplyDeleteSmug mode
ReplyDeleteJust finished. One try. No help.
Plummet
Nice game, thanks Bart! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Happy new year to all!
ReplyDeleteRemember to put the marbels in the aliens hand ;)
ReplyDeleteHow do you activate the middle wire?It won't come on! :(
ReplyDeleteHINT: If you think you have been everywhere, maybe you haven't. Move the cursor very slowly and don't skip over any spaces or corners.
ReplyDeleteWahhh! I finished and found 2013, but I only got 9 out of 10 marbles. Too tired to try again.
ReplyDeleteI like this game.
thank you skutnik and bart! i loved the involvement of the apocolypse, liked how this was different from the other ones, enjoyed giving the alien marbles and being smiled at, and felt honored to save the world from disaster.
ReplyDeletethanks again!
-m.
I found 2013 but only have 9 marbles. Argh!
ReplyDeleteHow do you open the door to the right?
Finished but with only 8 marbles, didn't get a smile or a thank you :(
ReplyDeleteGrr.... Have two power lines on, still looking for 4 marbles and two keys
ReplyDeleteFinished! Thank you -k! What happens if you have all the marbles?
ReplyDeleteWhew. Played the game again and found all the marbles. Now we are saved!
ReplyDeleteall I know is, this photo was taken near where I live. I can't make anything do anything. Neat concept, can't play.
ReplyDeletethank you platypus! I really needed somebody to say that!
ReplyDeleteLove the use of actual places in the pictures. Too much of a pixel-hunt with too many of the hiding places looking too much alike.
ReplyDeletecool

ReplyDeleteGive the marbles to the Alien
ReplyDeletehave placed all stickers, all fuses but two, insulator plate, black box, and I have all the marbles, but only one wire has power!!
ReplyDeleteGive the marbles to 2013 hand.
ReplyDeleteGive the marbles to 2013 hand.
ReplyDeletefinished the game but what's the point of the marbles
ReplyDeleteoh wait duh I didn't read all the comments
ReplyDeleteI love this game. It's probably one of the best games from 2012
ReplyDeleteAbout a week ago someone said they finished the game but don't know what the marbles are used for. Well the answer is that your supposed click on the alien's hand with the 10 marbles.
ReplyDeleteCant find the last fuse!!!! Where is it!!!???>vghfgrftyzpz
