Great room! This one too has gotten the update treatment so the numbers are not visible on the skull, look at the walkthrough to get past this step :)

Excellent room. (Except the last puzzle to find the 4-digit code.)
But excellent room anywhere.
Thank you QuackTeamJames.

Really enjoyed this room..

@KaKiiE Thanks for your feedback! However, the implied narrative is that the chalice was part of the 'loot' described in that first note, hence why it's included even though it's not mentioned.
Thanks once again~

Great map and enjoyed the captains logs, just a sidenote
The chest code wouldn't be the 2031 as they only found the chalice on day 506 so it would only be 14
Really enjoyed the map though !

@YeppeoGumiho Thanks for playing and commenting!

Simple, but clever. I really liked how your captain's note clues fit with the theme. The two different endings was a great idea too. Thanks for sharing!

@UncleMazz lol, will do! Thanks for the tip, glad you enjoyed the room!

Great room! love that everything makes sense :-)
Quick note, put obstacles on the windows, to avoid throwing things over board :-D Trust me, I did think that was the end of the room LOL. Cheers for a fun room!

@sdbpost there are two triggers for the ending, mainly because people tried the alternative which I'd never considered, so figured I should at least add it as a trigger, it's not really recognised in any other way.

Wait, I got out.

@Kaninchenbau Was 'alternative ending' a tease? I had to play through again to find it, but completely missing whatever you found.

Super impressed by the alternate ending! Great little room.

@Rowdy Did you place the clock in the correct place as well as set the hands correctly? See the guide for more details.

We're also having problems with the clock. At first, it had no hands. The second time around it did have hands, but we set it to the correct time but nothing seems to happen.

We've set the clock to 12:45, that is the correct time, isn't it?

What if you make the lock itself a key to something else?

@Black Captain Thanks! I'm aware of the exploit but not too worried about making it irontight. If people wanna cheat, they can spoil the room for themselves, I don't mind~ I'll see if I can do anything.

@QuackTeamJames
My wife and I played your puzzle. Very clever.

Here's an exploit, while we legit solved the puzzle on the bookcase, you can chest the item from it if you get close enough and have the right angle.

@Subception You can see the guide for the explanation.
The final diary entry 513 says 'The days combined', and adding them is hopefully one of the first methods of combining them together. I didn't want to write 'the days added' because that's a little too strightfoward, but it was hinted.

Can you explain how we are supposed to know that we should add up the days from the notes to get the combination? Where is the clue for that?

comment in 2022... cannot find enough clue of last puzzle.... too...

Added some hints for the ending @Pudel Des Todes!

I got the artifact but don't know how to end the game? Is there a way to escape?

@smoke ♡ Unfortunatly, the clock being sideways is part of the game and not something I can change until they fix it. I am going to look into the issue with the hands though. Thanks for the feedback!

same problem with the clock as s.n.arly1, and also when we pick up the clock its sideways and hard to use

Thank you all for the kind words! I'll see if I can fix the clock when I next have chance to look it over~

Our clock has no hands - or weird hands floating off several feet away from the clock.

The clock appears to be bugged for me. One person sees it correctly and set the obvious time, but it didn't seem to activate anything.

Nice little map. I would hide the skull a little bit, because as soon as I found it I did not care about the little boat and missed one of the notes. Had to look up the hints that I am actually supposed to solve every single note :)

Maybe add to the introduction letter: "Maybe I can figure out where the captain hid the treasure if I find follow his steps" Sorry if I missed it and it was already clear for everyone else! :D

Fun! Puzzles were simple; very good for beginners - flowed nicely into a story as well. :D

I like that you added clues (and not solutions) to the puzzles as well. Great experience! Keep it up and I hope to see a Part II

@Radulf95 Oh? Do you mean the puzzle is too linear or that it breaks with multiple people? It's definitely a more linear puzzle as my focus was a simple puzzle with a good narrative. Let me know if it's breaking for you, though, as that's not meant to happen.

only really playable for 1 person

@단호 I've added a complete guide~ Hope this helps!

Please give me a hint for the 4 digit lock ...... hint ....please
