Okay, unlocked the closet. Now to figure out the smartphone thing.
When is the YouTube walkthrough coming along? I'm washed up.
so… what's the point of the computer area? I make the guy go the the computer, I type in the password, then he stands up, but when I type the character on the back of his shirt nothing happens.
Well, it seems I still don´t get it. I can make the guy go to the computer or to the living room. I cannot do anything about the password and can just pet the cat. Any hints? Maybe I haven´t understood this at all?
Some of us are playing this on Chromebooks.
Does it work well on a Chromebook?
See the comment thread below starting with “What do I do once I’ve stroked the cat??”. I’m going to delete this comment because it gives away the solution too directly, sorry!
I've scroled, opened the nots, read the bit about the hands, but still not sure what to do with that? Still can't get the closet open but I will keep trying.
Hints to get in the closet:
Another hint
You don't always press the *exact* letter you see (think about the solution to the computer area).Another hint
One of the keypresses in the computer area is "?", so you're not limited to A-Z characters.Such a clever design! It's a real delight to solve.
I've been able to discover the secrets messages around the screen, but still haven't figured out how to use them (although I notice some kind of pattern in the missing letters?). I might keep digging!
Thanks! Some hints there:
First see if you can get in the closet. “V” doesn’t work, but something else might.
The secret message will help you solve what’s in the closet. The top left one says “scrol is gam”. The game’s description also mentions “scrol”…
Ah, that's the closet I was missing! I figured out how to open it, and had the clues to see the end. What a cool experience!
What a delight! The animations are lovely, and I love how the puzzles are based on your perception!
I'm a bit stuck on the computer (after inputting the correct password), anyone have a hint?
After you put the password in, you can see the character on the screen. Then they stand up, what would be on the screen then?
Unfortunately I don't know what to do after that.
There’s one more room to explore after that, if you haven’t found it yet. The hints on the screen should help you think outside the box and find the solution.
A more direct hint: You need to get into the locked door first, then the hints on screen will help you find the solution to that room.
What do I do once I've stroked the cat?? It's adorable and I want to keep playing but I don't know what to do :(
On the couch you can make the character stretch, look closely at them but not at the shirt.
So... point laser at cat, stroke (X), and then his mouth changes shape and I can spot something on the couch to help? Sorry, maybe I'm being silly but I can't spot it.
Well, as far as I can tell with the cat you just need it's name. The shape the character makes is a Y.
Ohhh, I'm with you now. I was trying to progress the living room scene further rather than looking for alternatives. Thank you
