My holiday break has come to an end so it's back to solving puzzles! Can you make your escape from Heya Room by Migilua?
Very cool. I had fun playing. I found an issue where if you click too quickly opening a certain box you get an item you are supposed to get later (platform for dial scale), and could lock yourself out of getting an item if you blindly put it on too quickly like I did. I have already reported the bug, so if it happens to you a reset is required.
It appears that he's fixed that. He also fixed the setting that said "Supser Sampling", which was something I reported. And the rest of the links on his site weren't working, but they now are. Glad to see that he's receptive to feedback.
I ran into a game stopping issue as well, Using LMDE6 and Brave, I was unable to water the book. Ended up finding the walkthrough, applied the solution the book was supposed to give me and couldn't proceed, presumably because I hadn't exposed the clue. A shame, as it was a good experience up to that point.
Clever, and logical, which are the best compliments an escape game can get, as far as I'm concerned. My only major error could have been remedied by remembering what the handle of the knife looked like! (Hint)
Heya Room offers a setting under "Options" to use smooth camera transitions, as opposed to just changing position instantly. However, it has a bug in it such that the camera seems to jump slightly into a new, albeit nearby, place before commencing a smooth flight to the next location.
Now, "Betta Room" does not have have this bug. I'd be very interested in know if people prefer the smooth glide animation in "Betta Room," or do they prefer the instantaneous jump.

same here! rest of the puzzles were pretty straightforward.

DeleteChallenging but fun!

ReplyDeleteDid you cut the top off of the bottle with the knife first?
DeleteIt was fun! Also is it just me or am I not able to play the other two escape games? Every time I click on them nothing happens.
ReplyDeleteHey, Bettaroom loaded a puzzle for me today!
Deleteok it seems like it's fixed now!
DeleteIt's not just you. They redirect you back. Don't know why, but that's what they do.
ReplyDeleteHeya Room was a very good escape puzzle. Refreshing to see the inventory used more extensively than in most escapes.
I must be missing something. I just got the picture off of the wall and now i don't see what else I can do.
ReplyDeleteExamine the frame itself very carefully.
DeleteI don't have another key...
DeleteThe back of the frame is a hint.
DeleteAlso: Have you found the 4-digit code yet? You have to open the book to find the hint for it.
DeleteNice one. I liked that spring in the box lids when they bounce open.

ReplyDeleteWon't load for me in both Firefox and Chrome.
ReplyDeleteAre these really new? They seem familiar.

What a lovely game, thank you Bart! Catherine
ReplyDeleteMy only complaint is the dial turning combo lock.
ReplyDeleteOnce I have an axe, why do I even bother solving more puzzles??? Just break down the door or window!
