nagori sakura [browser]
After an absence of many years Room's Room is back with a new escape the room game: Nagori Sakura. Happy escaping!
@Andy, I don't think so, but you don't need English to do all the puzzles. If you gets stuck, click the hamburger menu, then the Japanese text below "BGM," then the Japanese text in the lower left. You'll get a non-textual set of hint pictures.
Room's Room (Daichi Simada) has been releasing on iOS and Android for a number of years now, so tons of high quality escape games for people to explore on mobile if they like this one.
I think they've finally just upgraded their tech stack to Unity so now we get web versions too :)
Nice one. I saw the balls switched places after placed. The walkthrough step 17 clearly shows this happens. Also there is no keyhole zoom in to unlock the exit. The walkthrough only shows a blank panel step 21. Walkthru: http://riddleescape.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-5.html
I don't know if it's a previous game or not, but after escaping, I pressed one of the buttons, and a new (short) escape game started in the same house.
Adding my thanks to @Hans_De_Witte for pointing out the second game, it's nice too, and I missed it on the first time around. This is probably where reading Japanese would help!
At the end of the main game, the first button says 'Play a mini game', the second button says 'Review this work' and the third button says 'Return to the title screen'. 〇=0, 一=1, 二=2, 三=3, 四=4, 五=5, 六=6, 七=7, 八=8, 九=9 (the main kanji to know)
THis isn't new is it? I feel like I've played it before. Good puzzles even though the positioning of the angles when you click is pretty awkward. Also it's bs you can use the umbrella to get the ball down but not the long stick.
Very nice.
ReplyDeleteIs there a way to switch from Japanese text to English?

Not bad, not extremely hard IMHO, with nice multiple uses for items (they are removed after their final use).
ReplyDeleteNote - The umbrella looks (at least to me) like a cocktail umbrella, but it is full-size.

ReplyDeleteVery nice game - not too easy, not too hard, and all riddles make sense.
ReplyDeleteThe second short game is nice too.
Thanks for the tip on the second game. I went back and it let me load the end of the first game and continue to the second one. Both are nice games.

Wow, thank you for hinting the second, mini-game! :-)
ReplyDeleteNo hints needed for the 2nd game, except that it was there.
ReplyDeleteStumped, got a crowbar and hammer left, hint page shows box with 9 balls in it but what to do?
ReplyDeletePondule: check the vending machine more carefully :-)
