where is 2013?

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

Well, 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!

-k said...

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

-k said...

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!

Lizzie! said...

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

Lizzie! said...

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

Anonymous said...

@ -k- where's the second key?

Lizzie! said...

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?

Lizzie! said...

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

Anonymous said...

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

Lizzie! said...

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. =)

Lizzie! said...

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

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

Well, that was odd.....

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

Kata said...

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

Tom said...

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.

Tom said...

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

Al-E-Cat said...

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

platypus said...

Just to please you:

Half first!

DonutLover said...

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

tam said...

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!

Anonymous said...

Eviltot said...

Utterly, utterly mad. But I love it!

-k said...

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).

Anonymous said...

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

Kata said...

this was Kata above :)

Bob Dole said...

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

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

Nice game, thanks Bart! Happy New Year!

Peter said...

Beautiful! Happy new year to all!

Me said...

Remember to put the marbels in the aliens hand ;)

Anonymous said...

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

Patti said...

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.

NotMarian said...

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

I like this game.

Liar, Liar, Lizzy said...

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!

Tea said...

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

Anonymous said...

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

Rebel said...

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

Rebel said...

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

NotMarian said...

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

anna in spain said...

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

Anonymous said...

thank you platypus! I really needed somebody to say that!

Stevens Miller said...

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.

Anonymous said...

cool

Anonymous said...

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.

Give the marbles to the Alien

Anonymous said...

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

madison said...

Give the marbles to 2013 hand.

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

Anonymous said...

oh wait duh I didn't read all the comments

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

Helper said...

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.
