  4. 0.3 -> 0.9 thing. I tried putting all of the combinations of eyes into the doll and push OK each time. That didn't work. Help!

  23. Walkthrough:


    Get notebook from behind pillow on sofa. Look at first page to see that an area has been erased. Look at second page to see that a knife can be honed and the third page shows you can get a key from a large doll shaped machine.

    Get hexagon shaped "tube" from trashcan.

    Get spade from top drawer on same screen and click in left hand cabinet to see a screw.

    Flip picture of birds to see another screw.

    Take scale from cabinet next to birds picture. Look at it to see it needs batteries.

    Use spade to dig in plant and get smallest doll (doll 1). Use hexagon shaped tube with doll 1 to find it is a pencil!

    Use pencil in notebook on erased area. Note petals of flower and that some are "white".

    Go to Doll with buttons on it next to bird picture (Doll 4). Push buttons that correspond to the "white" petals from the notebook. Open doll to remove another doll (doll 3).

    Go to screen with sofa and look at the poster above right. Note that Doll 3 has the numbers 0.3 to 0.9 on it. According to chart, click doll 3's eyes to correspond from. Then click ok.

    Open doll 3 to get scrap of paper and silver key.

    Scrap of paper says 1200g. Scale says Max 1kg.

    Use silver key on Large doll machine next to shelves with wine bottle and glass (same machine from notebook). Remove doll (doll 2). Open doll 2 to get batteries. Place batteries in scale and weigh each doll.

    Place doll 1 inside of doll 3 and place in machine. Close door and click ok to get brass key. Retrieve doll 3 from machine and remove doll 2 from doll 3.

    Use brass key on cabinet drawer with birds picture on it to get screwdriver.

    Use screwdriver on back of birds picture to get keycard. Note that front of keycard has images that look like the doll eyes of varying size.

    Use screwdriver in left cabinet on screw to remove doll 4 from cabinet top.


    Use keycard on picture above sofa to get dull, rusty knife. Note that picture shows dolls being placed on empty surfaces.

    Go to opposite wall (ignored until now) and place dolls according to keycard order.

    Open new door and rotate wheels until you get 4 digit code (code can only be revealed one way - no other way will reveal 4 numbers all at once). Make note of code and retrieve dolls from shelf above.

    Go to shelves with wine next to Doll Machine. Open safe by clicking on it and remove orb. Note orb has scissor image on it.

    On cabinet next to safe enter 4 digit code from wheels. Remove sharpening stone. Sharpen knife and cut orb.

    Remove gold key from orb and note the colors in the orb. Note that center color is smallest and sits inside of the other colors (like nested dolls).

    Use gold key on safe to reveal four buttons with different colors.

    Place each doll individually in safe and make it the color it should be according to the orb color order.

    Nest Doll 1 in doll 2 and so on. Place nested dolls in Doll Machine. Close door and press ok.

    Escape and enjoy!

  24. For chart:

    Click only the eye that needs to be different for that level. Start with position 3 and move through to position 9.

    For me it was r,l,r,r,l,r,l

    ReplyDelete
  25. Also, orb colors change no way to be able to tell you which order they will be.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Also, I'm in California and don't tend to sleep much during non-sun hours :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Oops! I reread the walkthrough and after getting the brass key it should read remove doll 1 from doll 3 (not remove doll2 from doll 3). :(

    ReplyDelete
  28. Out! Nice one, but I found some puzzles a bit tricky, like the final one.

    ReplyDelete
  29. That was confusing and I'm glad a walkthrough was posted.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I am still stuck, how are doll 3's eyes supposed to correspond to the chart, i have tried multiple ways but none of them work, help plz!

    ReplyDelete
  31. @PyroLuna: if you look at the "eyes" on the chart from 0.3 to 0.9 you'll seee that at every point only one of them (left or right) rotates.

    ReplyDelete
  32. @ PyroLuna:

    Think of both eyes as starting in the left position. The first move is to click the right eye to make it face the down position (chart shows an opening in the circle according to what direction the base of the eye triangle is facing). Hope that helps :)

  33. Thank you, got it.

    ReplyDelete
  34. FIRST!!! haha lol right...

    ReplyDelete
  35. Got it! With only a hint or two...

    ReplyDelete
  36. OMG, thanks, thanks, THANKS, -K!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Good, average escape game. Reasonable length, most puzzles well clued, nothing too hidden.

    One tough puzzle: the chart. Otherwise, not too hard, and some real novelty.

    Yes, around 7/10 (got to leave some room for the really good ones!).

    ReplyDelete
  38. not too hard not too easy, once u get it u go with it...anw nice one :D
    thx Bart

    ReplyDelete
  39. I STILL DONT GET THE CHART!!! PLEASE HELP ME -K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 :(

    ReplyDelete
  40. Whew!

    Got stuck at a few parts. Thanks for the tip about not hitting OK each time for the 0.3 -> 0.9

    Thanks for the walkthrough! Used it toward the end.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Excellent game! I'd call this one darn near perfect.

    Thanks, Bart!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I loved that one. Logical, pretty, and just tricky enough to make me feel smart that I solved it without help!

    ReplyDelete
  43. @ Alexxxiee:

    Try clicking the dolls eyes in the order I did:

    r, l, r, r, l, r, l. then click ok.

    So first click the right eye, then the left and so on. Only click ok when you have finished the eyes, not in between each eye.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I love it.
    And I love -k's hints.
    Thank you Bart and everybody!
