4 (aka Shi)

Good job, Adventure!

Yeah, you will always know when you put a right thing in input box or when you do something correctly.
We found out already that tutorials can be a bit vague and it's hard to get accustomed to navigation, but that's why we put many hints and tips on forum, to make it less painful. We also try to be online as often as possible to provide guidance. Unfortunately we can't change stuff in the game itself right now, we can only draw a conclusion for further chapters (if any will have ever been made).

Hi Stachu! Good to see that one of the creators is around.

I mean how this riddle works. I never played any online riddle like this. And I am not sure how you know when you solved a riddle. I.e. the riddle in the shed, does something happen there when you put in the right order? Anything that let you know you solved it? Or should you go to the glass door to see if it opened?

I really thought I figured it out, but nothing happens, so I must be wrong.
Edit: Oh I missed a part. Hope I can make it work now.

EDIT: Got it!
For others: You will hear a sounds, and get confirmed directly when you have it right.

Edit: Hint for passwords in general

Use only lowercases

Amai, this game is huge! A map would be handy.
But I am hooked.

That's true, solving this riddle opens a glass door. All 4 hints are from one riddle (notice the same border style).

When it comes to vague instructions - you mean how this exact riddle works or Shi in general?

[Adventure]

Hmm, not getting it to work. The prologue that is.

I have one riddle (I get that one), and 4 hints that are connected and obviously apply to the manual interface in the shed. I thought I figured it out, however to my interpretation the crown has an right eye, not a left eye. So I am still a puzzled about that.

I think that once you solve the puzzle in the shed, the glass-door in the building will open.

I would like to verify my thoughts, to see where my error is.

EDIT: Okay I figured that out. Just me being stupid. But yet it doesn't seem to accomplish anything.


BTW, I got to say, that despite all the instructions it's still is quite vague how is riddle exactly works.

I'm already liking this one a lot! I made it through the first riddle but I'm pretty much stuck now, and there's no info on the official forums. It's just as well, I think I will be quite happy if I can manage to do this without hints! Hopefully I don't strain my brain too hard.

This is hard. I'll try again tomorrow.

Fortunately it seems that the game can be saved.

[Stachu]

Yep, this is at least few hours game. Riddles can be tough but, as I mentioned, they are solvable

[Mistery]

Looks great Let's see.

Wow, this game will be long I think.
Found some data so far, sounds pretty riddle-like.

Without further ado: This is the 1st part of a riddle games series set in a eerie, post-human world. Be sure to follow the tutorials and use your mouse to navigate Myst-style. Enjoy!

Note I: This game is challenging. In fact, it might be the hardest puzzle game you've ever played. You'll need to strain your mind and have a lot of patience. This being said, all the riddles are 100% logical and solvable - so you should get quite the satisfaction from beating them.

Note II: Please do not create nor send answers/solutions/spoiler's/guides for this game. Thank you in advance. (If you're stuck just try to get a friend to help you and/or try using the official game's forum)
