This is gonna suck, cos it's a paid game, which means none of the usual ETR players are around to help.
Then again, it sucks that the people who would pay for Tesshi-e's very high quality games are very few. She's put out 88 free games, everyone loves them and she gets 4 and 5 stars very consistently, but when it comes to paying a pittance (231 yen = appx $2.35, 1.75 euro, you can't get one cup at Starbucks for that), no one's stepping up to the plate. I've even seen people say "I never pay for a game on principle" -- what principles, pray tell, are those?
Anyway. This is not a walkthrough but just notes I took while playing, which make decent hints.
There are a ton of clues. I've found a TV remote, a slingshot with no ammo, a piece of paper, and a bottle opener.
The TV got me a slingshot. The TV displays a green man puppet on 2 different channels, and the positions he stands in correspond to the 4 buttons where the actual puppet is sitting. Just concatenate those two sequences and you have the answer.
The 3 Mr Birdys on a 3-letter safe correspond to the pillows of the same colors. Each Birdy has a number. That corresponds to a letter in the word on each pillow. That got me the corkscrew. I sure could use a bottle of wine right now, but I haven't found one yet.
Ah. totally missed seeing a bottle to the left of the TV. A knife now, and with it a spade key, and with that the SD.
Took me a while to assemble the equation for the 4 digit box. You have to cut the paper and place it over each of the pictures on the wall, then reorder the shapes. You get the equation 16 x 5859 / 12, which is 7812.
Used the camera to flash into the dark space. There's a picture showing which corners to click on the rotating picture, and a key. Key gives a handle (box under the sofa).
Handle used on the machine on the floor. Got a ball. Ball goes in the slingshot for a windup key.
Windup key used on the akebekos, 231133, used in turn on the other akebeko. Have a key.
Opened the panel above the bed. Using the card-suit panels I get equations for their value. Also used the cork to slingshot the last panel high up above the sofa. Now I've got more math to do.
Got the equations; they need to be arranged in the same vertical order as the pictures.
Happy coin: check the key.
Thank you! I got really stuck on the 4 digit box. I had everything else, I just didn't know how to combine the numbers on the pictures to make the code!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your hints! I'm totally missing the other people I usually turn to on Escape Games 24 dot com to help me through this. I can deal with paying for the games, but I miss the community! I'll totally check back to see if you do some more!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see other people also chose to support Tesshi-e's game. I think it's well-deserved.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a link where people in US can purchase this game?
ReplyDeleteI'm in the US and went through the Japanese website, using Paypal to pay. It IS rather involved, but do-able. If your browser has the option to automatically translate, turn it on. This will totally help. (I use Chrome.) You will also want to have either a Facebook or twitter ID if you want to avoid having to sign up with yet another username/password that you'll probably never use again.
DeleteThe list of games on her website is here:

and you can see the 2nd item has a download link, which will take you here:
http://www.dlmarket.jp/products/detail.php?product_id=233744
There's an "agree to terms" checkbox above the quantity that you have to check prior to adding it to your cart. After that, they want you to log in (FB/Twitter) and all that silly stuff, then move on to payment.
Got it! Purchase completed. Thanks!
