sphinx new edition
The latest escape the room game by Kotorinosu is a new edition of one of their previous games: sphinx new edition.
This one is definitely a challenge, and pretty much an entirely new game, with only the basic theme being the same as the original Sphinx game.
I made steady progress right up until the end, but I'm currently stuck on what I believe is the final puzzle (the one with the little telescope). That one reminds me a lot of Neutral's Vision escape.
@Tom: Try turning the lights off and going back into each room. You'll see a glowing spot in each. Investigate them, and you'll figure it out from there.
Thanks, that was the one thing I had missed. In retrospect, I should have looked for it, but for some reason I had assumed the lever only affected that one room.
Some things that were not intuitive for me: - the pick needs to be used to break something other than the obviously brittle brick in the wall - the little cube is not manipulated by clicking, but by dragging it with your mouse - the order for the colours on the pyramid (possibly how fast the different hourglasses run?) - you can get your marbles (balls) back after you use them to get the flute, but for this you need to find another (dark) marble
A very nice, long escape, and mostly straightforward. I only needed a walkthrough for the colours, the other "difficult" things I discovered by accident. Thank you!
What a great set of puzzles. Kotorinosu really did a good job creating a multi-leveled complex for you to get out. Nice graphics, good intermixing of clues, and lots of unexpected doors.
If you are you looking for a solution or a walkthrough for one of the game links, please have a look in the comments.

This kinda hard, but I love it.

OMG ... WOW!

I enjoyed this, Bart! Thanks for sharing it with us. :)
WoooooooooooooW!
This is one of the best (and longest) escape games I've ever played! I would like them all to be like this one! :D
wow - so many different puzzles, so unique, I loved it. The look is amazing, challenging, fun, great!! Im looking forward to a sequel!
Wow. Awesome.

Yes, this one is definitely several levels above your average escape game.
Just Wow!
if you don't have an hour or two to spare, don't play it. Excellent game!
