Can anybody help me to get the lamp? I'm totally stuck
It's in the church — there's another part of the mural you can click on, which is actually the lamp on a table
Visually, very nice. As a game? Not so great.
Hmmm - I loved all the mill imagery, but it was soooo sloooow.
@Smowler, gotta agree. Took minutes to load, minutes to get to "How To Play." When we clicked "start" and it showed "Loading" yet again, we just lost interest.
Thx @ Frobisher :)
I don't get the hint for the Safe-Combination. Help?
Great visuals, easy to play, emotional storytelling. Love it!
Wouldn't load at all in Chrome; Firefox 15 minutes so far and counting.
@Siobhan Long's sister, I have just updated the post with an alternative link
Well, it eventually did load in Firefox, but the game is unplayable. The game's play screen is far too big and cannot be adjusted.
Poor show.
While waiting for it to load in Chrome, I loaded it and started to play in Firefox.
As with most oversized Unity games there is a fullscreen button bottom right.
As for the slow loading screens, I think Jo99 missed a trick or 2.
The how to play part should have been visible during loading screen.
And you should be able to read the history during load screens too.
Very slow loading every new area or clip, your going to needs hours to play this.
Does the save actually work? I think my Firefox settings delete on exit.
I wasted 2 hours on this now for about 10 mins of play, & not done or saved.
BTW. you can read the book during a load screen.
Nice game, but far too slow... and useless animations.
Strange because the previous Jo99 did not have these issues.
For sure use the (alternative link), it only took 30 mins to play all the way through.
Also it only used 55% of my memory whereas the first link was over 93% when I quit.
@Spike:
Yeah, I had trouble with the safe combo as well. I could tell that the solution was SUPPOSED to be contained in the three pictures referenced, but I couldn't see or divine the images/icons that were supposed to be seen(?) I ended up opening the safe by trial-and-error, which got me further along....but then I quit when a similar "I know what I'm supposed to see...but can't" situation came along, and I quit.
@Spike and TiCKed
For the safe combination you need to use glasses : then you see the colors and associated shapes
didn't work on Chrome and Firefox, will try the alternative link...
Yes no, it doesn't work either on the alternative link. It's too heavy and needs to much memory.
It's a pity, I love those games.
I really enjoyed this. So lovely to see a new Jo99 game! Excellent atmosphere, music, art, storytelling. The gameplay was enjoyable. Loading new scenes was slow (using Chrome), but I did other things while waiting and it didn't bother me. Now to go back and replay the other Jo99 games again.
Lovely! A wonderful experience.
So, she was all worried about them after the cave in, and then finds them just chillin' out and playing checkers?!?! HAHA!
What a beautifully drawn game! And the story is also touching, I loved the many small details, the girl's point of view, as we see her memories and imagination. I also love industrial buildings. So I think this game is fantastic, and truly a piece of art! Who cares the animation or loading new rooms are so slow? I enjoyed the details of the pictures during loading. :-)
Thank you for sharing it!
I tried to play on full screen, but when I couldn't get out of the car, I figured it is not fitting well on my screen.
