where is 2013?

Where is 2013? Probably hiding somewhere in Mateusz Skutnik's latest point and click game.

  3. I've got all of the marbles, used a small key, placed two stickers, an insulator and a seal. Now stuck.

  4. Okay, managed to find the last sticker and the 2nd key. Interesting end, don't forget to "use" the marbles :P

    Thanks for this, Bart!

  5. Got the insulator, all the stickers and fuses...but only 7 marbles. Grrr. Still looking.

  6. Ok, now have a small key that doesn't work in any of the keyholes and 9 marbles. *sigh*

    ReplyDelete
  7. @ -k- where's the second key?

    ReplyDelete
  8. 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!

  9. @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?

    ReplyDelete
  10. I am madly clicking around...haven't found a place for the marbles, the second key or 2013. *sad face*

    ReplyDelete
  11. 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

    ReplyDelete
  12. 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. =)

    ReplyDelete
  13. Oh, wait...it did. Silly me. It smiled and said thanks. I guess it speaks English. How forward-thinking! Thanks, Anonymous!

  14. I've placed the thing from box ... but it doesn't connect with the glass-
    things...

    ReplyDelete
  15. Well, that was odd.....

    ReplyDelete
  16. only found 7 marbles but found 2013...waiting for a walkthrough to find them all :)

    ReplyDelete
  17. Where is the "first" key, i have found the one in the door to the right but cant find the other one :(

    ReplyDelete
  18. can't find it either :( - and can't find the last fuse

    ReplyDelete
  19. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Well, luckily I was able to continue since my progress was saved :) I finished, but I only found 7/10 marbles.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Complete! With all marbles :)
    "Now we are truly saved"

  22. Just to please you:

    Half first!

    ReplyDelete
  23. A nice little point and click from Skutnik. A Happy New Year to you all! Thanks Bart!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I found 2013... but it's grey one :P

    Exploring 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!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  29. Utterly, utterly mad. But I love it!

    ReplyDelete
  30. 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).

    ReplyDelete
  31. ohhhh found it, thank you k :) - and really really appreciated that I could continue instead of starting all over :)
    HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!!

    ReplyDelete

  33. I love his games where he uses photos from around where he lives. It really gives the game a distinct atmosphere. Great stuff!

    ReplyDelete
  34. There is a video walkthrough on youtube if anyone needs the assistance as I did.

    ReplyDelete

  38. Remember to put the marbels in the aliens hand ;)

    ReplyDelete
  39. How do you activate the middle wire?It won't come on! :(

    ReplyDelete
  40. HINT: 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.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Wahhh! I finished and found 2013, but I only got 9 out of 10 marbles. Too tired to try again.

    I like this game.

    ReplyDelete
  42. 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.

  43. I found 2013 but only have 9 marbles. Argh!
    How do you open the door to the right?

    ReplyDelete
  44. Finished but with only 8 marbles, didn't get a smile or a thank you :(

    ReplyDelete
  45. Grr.... Have two power lines on, still looking for 4 marbles and two keys

    ReplyDelete
  46. Finished! Thank you -k! What happens if you have all the marbles?

    ReplyDelete
  47. Whew. Played the game again and found all the marbles. Now we are saved!

    ReplyDelete
  48. all I know is, this photo was taken near where I live. I can't make anything do anything. Neat concept, can't play.

    ReplyDelete
  49. thank you platypus! I really needed somebody to say that!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Love 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.

    ReplyDelete
  51. 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.

  52. Give the marbles to the Alien

    ReplyDelete
  53. have placed all stickers, all fuses but two, insulator plate, black box, and I have all the marbles, but only one wire has power!!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Give the marbles to 2013 hand.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Give the marbles to 2013 hand.

  56. finished the game but what's the point of the marbles

    ReplyDelete
  57. oh wait duh I didn't read all the comments

    ReplyDelete
  58. I love this game. It's probably one of the best games from 2012

    ReplyDelete
  59. 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.
