    Out... This one was sure better than the previous Gotmail game, but I still found it hard... I had to use the walkthrough (thanks Thor!) a couple of times to find objects I missed...

    Even after following the walkthrough the game didn't give me the yellow stained glass. Don't feel like restarting now.

    I agree with MB....I'll stick to the Flonga escape games...that's more my speed and I can usually figure them out without aid...but these types...no way.

    I can't refill the bucket a second time even though the screen tells me I did. And the green crystal does not appear.
    Bah, annoying. I was having fun up til it got sooo frustrating!
    The Youtube walkthrough goes way too fast for me to follow.

    I used the back scratcher to get the key inside the statue's vase and the scratcher isn't available now. I've seen in the walkthrough that it's necessary to get the bucket in the pool!! But it's impossible since I can't use the scratcher! Is it a bug??

    Ok, now I saw it better. It wasn't the scratcher but the piece of wood from the door "that has seen better days"... I had skipped part of the video and not full screen, they looked very similar... Sorry!

    Beautifull game!
    Like the story and the puzzles,
    the part with the butterfly and the 'glass puzzle' were tricky...

    Really been relishing the return of Gotmail escape games to the non-Japanese, non-paying audience. The logic of these are a bit "off" from the usual flash escapes, but the same beautiful work from Gotmail. Hope they keep coming.

    I had to spend quite a lot of time locked inside the pool and I used a bit of the walkthrough, but the ending was nice!
    thanks Bart.

    Hard! And quite long.

    Couple of the items needed too much pixel hunting, the butterfly is incomprehensible (but keep clicking!) and the two number puzzles are hard even after working out how the puzzles work.

    Hint: overlay the stained glass to get 5 digits, and remember Japanese put year before month in dates. The rest is not too hard.

    Still, I'd rather have these than the quickies. Thanks to the author for a lot of effort.

    make sure you put the blue crystal in the sword before putting the sword into the drain-thing
