It's a mystery/puzzle game where you have to find hidden objects in the room to solve the "puzzle" and get out. Good luck!

I have a box, combined with a ring in the upper right hole. I got an empty CD case. A memorandum with an unhelpful URL. I got a gold key, a silver key and a common key. I got a cassette tape and a battery. Oh and the CD-power supply cable. And I am tired of clicking around in a small room.

What am I doing wrong?

You're doing good so far! There's still more objects to be found. Hint: open the box...

Trust me, the URL is very important. All these clues are there for a reason

The box does not open. What does "takagism since 1994" have to do with anything? There's no history? It's early morning here, so I can't really think that straight. Nothing in the source code either.

Heh, this wouldn't be a puzzle if I gave you all the hints


Okay, here's another hint: you need a screwdriver to get out of the room. But you'll need ALL the clues in order to find the screwdriver.

Damn. You're right. I had to click it a couple of times. Tried to do the same with the pillow. No luck :/

I'm stuck watching the movie of the dancing shadow (in the box). It points at a plus, I click it but I just end up back in the room

Hmm, I also found some CDs in the top left drawer a while ago, but they don't show up under my found items? I though I'd put them in my empty jewel box but that seems to be a no-go

That plus sign is important. how many times does it flash and where? It's how you get the screw-driver anyway... Along with the clue at the URL from the bit of paper, that is.

I give up. That dancing guy annoys the crap out of me and clicking the plus doesn't get me anywhere either

Don't click on the plus sign - click on where the plus sign was once the dancer goes away...

No there's a metal thing hidden somewhere. You need it to open the box.

Yeah - the screw driver doesn't appear for me either, although, if I put my mouse over the bottom left of the items column, it shows a hand cursor as if something is meant to be there. I'm stuck again... I've been doing this for an hour - why?!?!

Twilly - it's a little metal strip not the battery. Hint: look at the other end of the bed.

Oh no! You mean I've wasted the past 20 minutes, and I have to watch the dancing again?

Stupid. I clicked where the plus sign was on the regular wall. The safe should still be there in the real room, shouldn't it?

Gawdammit. I clicked it. Nothing happened. So I clicked it a couple of times more. An outline appeared and boom I was back in the main room. Now I have to watch the sequence AGAIN!

Oh well. I'm out. Damn that final piece was annoying.

Couple things:


Be careful when clicking the screwdriver-it should appear on your list.

And after the video is over, you may have to click more than once on the wall to see something.

Anyone email that guy?

I sent an email. I guess he hasn't got the next room ready yet.

The only thing that is odd, is he tells me to keep the CD case. How am I suppose to keep an inadimant (spelling) object?

It's sometimes hard to click exactly in the right places (some of the hints here were useful), but I got out.

This reminds me of a few old games for the Mac. Anyone remember "Lost in Las Vegas", "Uninvited", or "Shadowgate"? I forget what company made them, but they were fun.

I clicked the screwdriver, thought it was on my list. Went over to the door and the screwdriver isn't on my list. What now? I went back to the safe, but I've used the key to get into it already.

that happened to me the first time, and I had to start all over. The second time I was real careful when selecting the screewwdriver and it worked.

Click while the bed it's moving.

I'm out. Had to redo it because of the screwdriver not showing up the first time.

Sweet, I made it

I don't mind hard tricks, I just hate the annoying ones (like waiting for the stupid guy to stop dancing).

When you go from looking at the bed to the wall click continually at the bed.

Whats up with the cd player? No cds for it?

Those cows won't know what hit 'em. They won't know what hit them even after it hits them, because they're cows.
