You are locked in from the inside. Can you get out?

[JKTrix]

I've been playing this for about 10 minutes, got it off Kotaku.

http://www.jigsaw.x0.com/sphere_e/index.html

Point n' click sort of game, find a way to get out.

I haven't yet, but it's supposed to be possible.

[ljkkjlcm9]

I've found a lot of stuff, but have no idea what stuff means, or what to do with these items

THE JACKEL

[Larahl]

It's hard as hell, I had some achievements, but now I'm stuck.

[JKTrix]

couple of tips -- not major spoilers by any means, but if you're the type who wants to do *everything* yourself, I'll hide the text.
-each book on the desk says something different. I just did something with one of the books that made some progress

-You can click under some things--like the couch/futon. you can also click to the side/behind some things, like the flower pot to the left of the futon and to the right of the futon itself.


I still haven't finished it. Quite challenging.

[ljkkjlcm9]

HAHA I got it!!!!

THE JACKEL

[Levian]

I've done something with two of the books, found a bunch of pearls, but now I'm kinda stuck. Haven't opened any drawers and haven't opened the box in the open drawer. ;o gonna have to fiddle around some more :D I love these types of games.

I really have no idea what that brown thing in the inventory is, so that might be a problem.

edit:

opened box
opened two drawers

Stuck at some catapult thing now.

[KentaRawr!]

This reminds me greatly of Crimson Room.

[edczxcvbnm]

Awesome game. I am addicted. Now back to work :erm:

[JKTrix]

HAHA I got it!!!!

Provide tips!

I stopped right where Levian is stuck as well. I am at work after all :P

I think the brown thing in inventory may be a frog.

Good thinking with the brown thing... the third book provides tips for that.

otherwise you're stuck at...
Go to the hanging plant, and look in the corner, you can see an outline. Zoom back out and click where that was. Now solve that little puzzle for another key and go from there.

Good luck!

[Zeldy]

wtf.

I just clicked something on the green wall and like wtf xD Oh! Jackal answered that~
This came confuses me and is addicting ;___;

[MikeL Valentine]

What are all those balls for? :confused:

Oh and something else can I combine things?

[ljkkjlcm9]

the balls will become useful

you can zoom in on items and try using another item on the zoomed in item

THE JACKEL

[JKTrix]

Combine: Sort of. If you click the magnifying glass on an item, it will display in the middle of the screen. If you pick the right item from the inventory while this is on the screen, you can do things with it. Some items.

I just got the other key, thanks for the tip. I thought I was supposed to go *out* that door though, was a little disappointed. Though it means the game is not over!

[Timster]

i'm stuck at the catapult as well... and the thing in the wall and other stuff... man i suck at this...

[MikeL Valentine]

THE JACKAL

I found that the box has a small hole on it but I can't put a ball inside it like the books say :confused:

[Timster]

what about the brown thing when you've put it in the glass of water and it's dissolved or something? and what's up with the catapult it won't stick, i mean the other part...

Well, what would you do with dirty water? And did you pick up the screws you took off the grate? Technically you don't need the BALANCE, not catapult, as long as you know the "numbers" of the balls, at least that's how I thought of them

THE JACKEL

[Zeldy]

How do you get the water and the screws? ;_____;!

Ok I think it says that there are two holes on the box right? and I have found them
Now how do I use items because I wasn't able to use a single one of them.

edit:
oh I see I found the use of the box

[Timster]

figured out what to do with the water, and yes i got the screws but when i tried to screw the thing together it wouldn't work and what's up with the frog...:confused: talk about confusing game, but fun, and annoying yet interesting:p :D

[ljkkjlcm9]

How do you get the water and the screws? ;_____;!

you need the screwdriver from one of the locked drawers

Im still stuck on that little puzzle on the blue wall xD I only know what red is.

[Timster]

[PhoenixAsh]

Ack, I'm missing one ball. I've got 3 white, 3 green, 2 black and 1 pink out of the hanging plant . Any tips on how to find the last one?

[PhoenixAsh]

Thanks a lot I thought to wet the paper with a glass of water, didn't think to try a tap:rolleyes2

[Necronopticous]

I beat it rather quickly.

Fun stuff, makes me nostalgic for the old Myst/Riven days.

[Jebus]

Woo! I did it, and without the walkthrough.

Also That's not a catapult.

[Levian]

Status update:

Been to the bathroom, found use for brown thing, now fiddling around with the catapult again. Looks like it's not doing me any good, though. Gonna have to find a way to use the brown water me thinks

[Mirage]

Cat pic border, Bird head, Butterfly, and the box in the book pointed at the flower(the flower is not necessarily red)
Figuring out this sentence is almost as hard as the game itself...

[JKTrix]

If you had the items he mentioned, you'd be able to put it together.

I just remembered this game, and I finished it now. Groocylicious

[Mirage]

I was mostly referring to the last part of it, "the box in the book pointed at the flower". the rest isn't too hard to figure out, and I could bruteforce the entire thing if I had two or more of them nailed down.

Sigh, I spend the time to go through the game in the most efficient manner, while still getting everything, and typing a walkthrough of it, and all I get is criticism.... sigh... such is life!

I had that picture puzzle thing in the wall figured out but I never found the butterfly...I eventually HAD to find it though because even if you get the right code the game will not let you proceed because you guessed and thus didn't find all of the clues which you apparently need to do. What bull:skull::skull::skull::skull:.

[Necronopticous]

That's weird. I didn't find the duck and I was able to guess it.

Uhm, no you don't need to find it, I can guarantee you that, because I've done the game so many times trying to cut down on what I had to do.

[Rostum]

Too easy. Though I'm used to point and click adventure games. :D

[Tasura]

Gateway (http://fizzlebot.com/gdc1/cgdc1.php?puzzleID=16) and Gateway 2 (http://mirror2.cgdc2.fizzlebot.com/?puzzleID=2) are also fun point+click/puzzle games.

[Deborah]

I did it!! YAY! It took me awhile but it was fun!! And of course I had a friend to give me a few clues!

[gottolovetheffgirls]

ahh crap im addicted to it know thanks a lot
