I must be missing something can't get the map to work....help pleez



Edit:
I'm not sure what to do with the colored bottons. I thought I knew what to do with them, but what I thought isn't working.

For the buttons, look next door for a clue. For the answer, really.

[Ravensd]

My original thought was

the buttons need to be pushed in the order that the color changes in the room next door.

I didn't that forward and backward...I get nothing.


That is very odd......I've been doing that since I found the room and it wouldn't let me do it. Maybe certain things have to be done first....


still can't figure out the map thing...I have

the locket/compass...but I can't place it on the gray spot.

Edit:
nvrmnd got it ..

[sea_master]

how did u put in the compass?

[Ravensd]

I didn't


I'm in

the garage now

Edit: I'm out now. Finally. I got a bad ending. A woman with horns looked pretty p'd at the cats.

how did u put in the compass?

You don't, the compass is there to tell you how to find something, but you don't actually use it.

[Ravensd]

Has anyone figured out any other endings besides the bad ending? I just played it again and got the exact same ending.

[Yorick]

Argh! its all in a language i don't understand!

[Ravensd]

You can copy and paste.....I think. I did it without...I think most people did.

[Yorick]

Oh thanks!

I got the normal ending. I don't know if those are the only two, or if there is a super-happy good ending as well.

I thought it had to do with time, but I'm not so sure now. The first time I played I got the bad ending. I replayed it, finished faster, and got the normal ending. Thinking there was a good ending I tried to replay it again as fast as possible and I did, but got the bad ending. I didn't see any difference in what I did in any of the games other than how fast I did it. Very strange.

arrgh! it won't work! it just comes out as little rectangles!

You probably need to install the japanese language pack then. Understanding the text really isn't necessary in this game though.

[Arch7]

I agree... actually I thought it was the other way around. The first time I played I took a really long time (left the window open till I got the hint I needed), but got a good ending. Replayed it twice now, and got the bad one. Second time around I made sure not to "cheat" by e.g. knowing the grass puzzle before finding the clues to it etc.
No idea what the trigger is.

@Yorick: If you can select and copy the rectangles, you should still be able to paste them into e.g. bablefish and get a (poor and partial) translation.
