first map we stopped playing and closing the game via altf4

This room had many interesting and original puzzles. Great length. But sometimes I had to look at the walkthrough hints to make connections.

My suggestions:
1. Make it clearer that the bookshelf and the music correspond. Ex: music notes etched into that shelf. The walkthrough hint "find somewhere to play this" helped a lot, so write that on the sheet music instead.
2. I didn't expect so many subtle comparisons between rooms. A warning could help. Ex: a poster on the wall with the title "Spot the Differences," below that one red rectangle next to a blue rectangle with speech bubbles overlapping between, then to the right of these, an arrow to an unlock symbol.
3. Clearer room-based coloring. Although many clues are color-coded, it took me a long time to associate colors with rooms.
4. We had no issue, but for music novices include an extra paper on how to read music.
Otherwise, very nice room. Thank you!

@Mitornimo @sorrowツ The Drawers puzzles is an optional puzzle that would give you additional help on the major roadblock you were stuck on.

@Mitornimo make sure to read everything carefully. they're there for a reason. and also, make sure you have both the Red and Blue Access Cards. you cannot open the suitcases with only one card.

stuck at the music riddle, can u give a hint please?

Loved this room so much! My partner and I did have to restart all the way at the end because the plant disappeared in the blue room when put on the black filing cabinet.

Hey just got done, loved the room even found the Malformation thing was curious if that was the end of it or if there was something we missed!

Very ktane inspired i see :D

i agree, when i play an escape room i also prefer the puzzles to be completely optional

Had lots of promise but reading sheet music shouldn't be mandatory... had to give up.

@Glandouille I'm also stuck on that one.

I---- that was the shortest puzzle i've ever done.

Hello, first of all, the map is incredible !
However we have difficulties with the [B5 -> I6] etc code, we don't understand what does theses coordonates means. (For the red suitcase we got it by looking at the comments. But we saw nothing about the blue suitcase. Can you give us a hint about these "coordonates" ?

Me and my friend have been able to work out up to the blue maze but we have no idea how to get the red keycard. there is nothing else in their room to interact with other than the shelf, does anyone have any tips or advice with being able to get the red keycard?

If anyone is struggling with the red suitcase code, here's a hint:
When you've activated both screens with keycards, Blue will have a maze, Red will have letters.
You need to follow the path on the Blue and trace what letters that translates to on Red.
That will give you a set of items to find in the room - they will have numbers on to add up

The clues are still a bit confusing even when you have the answers, so it's Big pot plant, Sheet music and the day of the outage (the last on in Blue room)

If you're really really stuck, the code is 5039 (5000 + 22 + 17)

@kusane Hexaku :
Hello can you give a hint concerning the blue side note for teh red suit case?
we connot figure out how connect the maze and the code :D

Hey, chat. Just letting you know that I'm going to start removing comments like "Can't figure out red suitcase code" or anything along that line.

Most people that came asking for help about the red suitcase code was either:

- a victim of Escape Simulator Animation Jank . I still don't know the source of the problem, but I'm hoping that a complete overhaul and rebuilding it from scratch, would solve the issue.

- or, a victim of " I'm In The Red Room, Therefore I'm The Protagonist, Your Side Don't Matter, Let's Just Solve My Side And My Side Only, And If We Can't Progress I'll Just Complain That The Map Suck, Instead Of Considering What The Other Side Has. Shut Up Blue, I'm Not Talking To You, I'm Having A Protagonist Monologue About How Much I Hate You And The Creator Of This Room For Not Making It Easy On Me. "-initis

in which case, maybe a room where you're suppose to cooperate with another person isn't for you.

Can't figure out red suitcase code

Don't know if this a bug, but after completing the [music puzzle the shelf disappears] and nothing happens? Reset the room 3 times and the problem still persists

Wow, between me and my partner being blind as hell and some of the puzzles being fairly unclear in what they want, this was a difficult puzzle but it was beaten. Since a ton of people have been having difficulty, me and my partner will be writing up a walkthrough for all of those that need the help. I will warn though that using the walkthrough will definitely diminish the satisfaction of a difficult puzzle beaten.

@QenTes yeah but i really mean it, do look around. things that seems like they don't matter might actually do.

@Kusane Hexaku
very nice hint, paw down

@QenTeS look around

@Kusane Hexaku
How words from maze: Sheet arranter (C2 -> H1) + out ageday (C4 -> D7) + on red splant(D9 - I6).
Could I get any tip that would guide me to the solution?

@RyanMcDad there is a clear answer, people just seems to not realise that you need both keycards to activate both sides before the puzzle is solvable, and instead tries to solve it having only one side unlocked, or should I say, with incomplete information .

Yeah, I did not explicitly say that you need both sides activated to continue, but I would argue that "oh, i've got my side unlocked, let's try to unlock yours" is a more fair assumption to expect of the players than "oh, i've got my side unlocked, who cares about your side, let's do mine first."

feels like you had a bunch of cool ideas, but the execution on the labyrinth puzzle doesnt fully seem to be there. the map could definitely do with a walkthrough, or maybe the lab is the only roadblock, but the comments seem to suggest that there isnt a clear answer which detracts from the enjoyment of the map. piano and nameplate puzzles were good.

I also hit the problem with blue key card. One thing that I noticed is that when we solved the piano it didn't disappear after entering all of the keys. We got some of the keys wrong (I assume that's why the whole piano shelf blinked red) and then started to repeat the sequence. Somewhere into the repeat it just vanished but no card appeared.

this map is confusing and gives me a headache high key

To everyone who's having problem with the blue card ---

I wish I know what is causing your problem. I cannot for the life of me replicate the bug myself, so I don't even know where I can even start tackling this issue.

If anyone has any idea, let me know.

I found the same problem as Nova but restarting and solving the puzzle again doesn't fix my issue. The blue keycard just never spawns.

Regarding the blue card: After solving the sheet music puzzle I had the makeshift piano just vanish without triggering the animation that reveals the keycard, resulting in an empty bookshelf and us being stuck as we never received the blue keycard. Restarting the map and solving the puzzle again worked and I haven't been able to recreate the issue since, but this may be the same issue others are having.

Great room! The maze puzzle and shelf grid were my favorite parts!

Where is that damned blue card ? We solved the music sheet puzzle but it's nowhere to be found.

took us 3 attempts but nice Room thx a lot, we had much fun:)

for those that got stuck, I eventually solved all of the puzzles, they all are solvable but hard

Hi, we solved the clues for the red suitcase code but the numbers dont seem to add up to something that works on the suitcase, any clues? :(
|| aaaa||

We are unable to figure out the suitcase codes and make any further progress once we unlocked the wall by sorting the name plates.

Any tips?

Hey @Kusane Hexaku, my friend and I are stuck on the Red Suitcase Code and have tried every possible solution that we can possibly think of. Any hints?

Do you have a hints and walkthrough for this? me and a friend are stuck on the code section, we've worked out D9 > I6, but the other 2 have us stumped.

Very good! Riddles are sometimes tough, but always solvable. Fully recommended.
