I poked at this for half an hour and got to… the second room? () Cryptic puzzles like this are generally NOT my thing, but I’d like to give it slightly more of a chance than this to convince me. Anyone want to give me some hints?

This was enough to help get me to the best ending. Thank you!! I don’t think I ever would’ve gotten there on my own :sweat_smile:

OK, the stubbornness kicked in and I played a bunch more. I got to what feels like AN ending (Rose, Iris, Violet) but I’ve only visited 17 rooms and given the Raven codes it feels like there should be 26?

It wouldn’t surprise me if there are 26 rooms internally, but all these smoke-filled void places count as separate rooms as well.

Hmm, but there are only five of those, right? Bringing us to 22? I was also tracking colors and (assuming the rose is red) we’re missing orange and yellow, I think? And there’s that closed heavy door in the cellar that feels very significant. ▶ But also I found 28 golden animals s…

I got right away because I saw and maybe thought the lecturer was . So that led me down a blind alley a bit. I see now why , as Josh pointed out, though it’s not obvious at all if you go the wrong way. I thought there was a relationship between the which led me further up a blind alley. So perha…

I actually did see the but I didn’t get that it was solvable right away: I think so I thought I’d try to move on and figured I’d find information later that would let me make sense of it. Also I was thinking (almost complete spoiler for the first puzzle) .

Apologies to those who got to the second room and then got stuck. There is supposed to be an in-game hint to help in that situation, but the logic that triggers it isn’t quite right, so it isn’t appearing sometimes.

Thanks for the update! And yeah, I’ve been there, man. It was actually kind of neat being stuck for a bit. Some of the ideas I tried, well, maybe they can go into a future game of my own. Adversity breeds innovation, and all that sort of thing!

I like how much this entire game is like the infamous Rumplestiltskin puzzle in King’s Quest except fun and solvable.

I found the first two endings but didn’t take great notes. As far as I can recall, I only found . Are there more? Edit: Never mind, figured it out!

EYE hints?
