Episode 2

[Sammie C]

Got it!

Thank you so much lili!
I still don't understand that chess game! lol
But your directions helped me through it!
I'm out now and your help was much appreciated, so thanks again.

[lili]

No problem Sammie I hope you gonna try "Professional" level next, it IS difficult though... (I don't have any walkthrough for that level)

[ThemePark]

Okay, I'm stuck on the second part of the wheel, I figured out the first part, but I have no idea of what to do with the second part

[lili]

Theme, I'm with you at the same spot. The first part for the wheel is okay, but the second part... I couldn't find any note that told us what to do to the wheel thingy... What did you find so far?

[ThemePark]

Okay, if you can't figure it out, and you can actually read what all the books and notes are saying, then we're screwed I tried the same pattern as for the first part, and also tried somehow doing it by order of the numbers, but it hasn't worked so far.

I have

2 chess pieces, what I would call bishops, the weights or whatever they're called, the green stone demon, 3 books, a letter in English, some paper and ink, and 3 letters.

Oh and a key too.

[lili]

Oh boy, you're ahead of me. I found so far (from the top left to right in inventory box)

2 chess pieces, a old key, the weights, 3 books (which is the manual for the game, the manual for the chess and the book about the history of that chess, a letter in English, some paper and ink, and 3 letter (two of them are about the hint for the code for the lock, and the other is about the electronic fuse

I found

a note for the wheel thingy

in the Easy level, but I can't find it now.

Btw, how did you get

green stone demon

?

[ThemePark]

Ah, thanks I had overlooked the code for the lock

For the green stone demon:

You need to balance the weight once again, but this time you also need to put the key on the weight, and it's quite heavy.

Okay, obviously the code isn't as obvious as that

Yep, still stuck

[lili]

See I told you I need your help to go through this level.

Now I gotta do some translation.

In the inventory box ,the letter in the 3rd row very right square

is a letter form previous manager, Marcus, of this room. This says you/he, Alexandro, (I mean the main character of this game, which is you) gotta chage the combination of the code when you start using that desk

and the letter in the 4th row 2nd column from left

is a letter from Alex to Marcus. Alex wrote about the code "7132", this was just his guess since Marcus had told him the code had something to do with the chess thingy. (There's a name for that chess, but I can't spell) And also says like "Talking about the chess, I've heard that the pieces and the board had been found in the old castle, these were supposed to be made about 340 years ago."

the letter in the 4th row, 3rd column from left

is the second letter from Alex to Marcus. Alex wrote that Marcus rememberd the right code and mentioned about it. "It was kind of hard to get that code. The first 2 digits were very close. But the other 2 were.. hard to say anything, I couldn't guessed them in that way. (means very different.) But these were well sorted anyway." ... And something about the chess game they had the other day

The book in the 3rd row, very left column is a manual of this game

The book in the 3rd row, 2nd column from left is a manual of chess-like game.

The book in the 3rd row, 3rd column from left is a report made by Marcus about his research.

1/8
Report of Marcus’s research.
2/8
I’m going to note all data from my research.
3/8
They have common language.
But it seems their linguistic level is not high enough.

They have some words for the directions and some nouns.
<< symbols for LEFT and RIGHT>>
4/8
They have knowledge of numbers and they know how to count.

<< symbols for 0 to 10>>

They seem to use the quinary, base-5 system.
5/8
Unfortunately, we found out that only a few of them could speak.

So we asked technological ward to make special fetters to make our research carried out without a hitch.
6/8
To unlock the fetter is very simple, just buttons and lights.
This is enough to measure their intelligence quotient.
7/8
Test is quite simple.
It’s not to see if they understand the words “right” and “left”, rather to see if they understand how to turn on and off the lights and its system.
They will learn to know they can take the fetter off if they light all lights on.
8/8
So far, only 2 of them have passed the test and took it off.
We are going to observe how they develop their intelligence by giving them education.

The book in the 3red row, 4th column from left is about history of chess-like game.

I just pick up numbers now.
page 3/22: the origine of this game was made about 400 years ago.

4/22: at that time, the chess board has 7x7 squares and with a completely square shape. The tower of babel (this is one of the pieces in this chess thingy) originate from the castle the previous king had built, actually only 3 castel existed. (there're 4 pieces of the babel in the chess thingy)

8/22 later, the rule has changed according to the increase of the pieces. The board as well has changed from 7x7 to 9x9 square but with the shape like a hourglass.

There're more to translate, but I will edit here later...

[ThemePark]

Hmmm...so the code

is the year that the castle was made in?

[lili]

mhhh. It may be... But there is a book about the history of the chess thingy and another letter I haven't translated yet.

[dave]

The clock looking thing with the chain on the back of it is interesting. click the right button to move 3 clockwise steps. Left button moves 4 counter-clockwise steps. Each moves turns the spot on (or off if its already on). I guess you need to get them all on and I can't figure out the pattern.

BTW, I've always enjoyed you're comments and decided to register to add to the confusion! WOOT11!!!eleventylol

Oops.

I was right about the clock thing. You hit the top button to get it started. Then go around turning on the lights. I got all the lights lit. Unfortunately, you have to do this twice, the second time in reverse-so you need to remember the pattern and do it in reverse...i forgot of course.

/it's hard to make sense with these posts, isn't it?

[lili]

Uhmm dave should be playing "Professional" level and got the wheel thingy??

Theme, do you know how to save the data, btw??

[ThemePark]

It seems so. But I tried that reverse thing, and it doesn't work, because the directions the light moves is still the same on the second part So I don't see how you can reverse the pattern.

Yes, I read your hint to Sammie about the typewriter

And I just saw your edit about the third letter, hmm

Hmm, lili on page 3 of the first letter from Alex to Mark, it says 5AE in the middle of the text. What does it say in that part of the letter?

[lili]

I think we have to open the 2nd drawer of the desk first. I hope to see there's a note to solve a wheel thingy in there.

And I can get a hint from japanese site if you want, I haven't found any walkthrough for professional level though still I can get a hint. But as long as you say you wanna solve this level on your own, I will not cheat

[ThemePark]

There is, lili, I remember from the little I played of the Easy level that it contained a small book with the symbols that are on the wheel and their corresponding numbers

Well I do think it's more fun to solve this one without cheating Plus if we work together, we'll crack this game in a matter of hours We're a great team, remember?

I noticed that the 5AE also appears in the second letter, so I figure it has to do with their chess game instead. So somehow we have to figure out the code for the lock
