Thanks for playing my room!
Since the numbers of hints i can give in the game are limited, I decided to make a walkthrough in case someone gets seriously stuck :)

The Oblong Box
Thanks for playing my room!
If you struggled on the 25th October, there was an update that broke half of all textures. It is fixed now, so please retry :)
Since the numbers of hints i can give in the game are limited, I decided to make a walkthrough in case someone gets seriously stuck :)

But in general: Look around a bit more first. The puzzles are meant to be difficult sometimes.

Rope Box:
there is an additional hint in the small crate on top of the "heavy" crate
The hints say it is really simple. Ask a 6 year old child about the 4 ropes on the wall and it will give you the solution instantly.
8888 (insert facepalm) Solution


Crate:
the right tool to move the crate is not in the tool box look up!
the crowbar is above a shelf Solution

Suitcase lock 1 digit:
the letter is hidden behind a "veil" it is behind the cloth on the shelf
5 Solution

Suitcase lock 4 digit:
The tag shows a crate. That is where the combination is located.
count the depicted objects in the WHOLE room.
one of them exists more than 9 times!
6412 Solution

Oblong Box:
what is most important to the guy? look at his stuff in the suitcase
look more closely at the picture
the date is the code. american notation: month, day, year
81281 Solution

Eye Flowers:
they want items that represent the story behind the weird behavior of the passenger
the picture of the passenger in the crate has a hint
place the two pictures on the pedestals, with the heart in the middle Solution
The Raven
Colourblind Hints:

The Consolation Flower, Poppy, is on the Painting with Ophelia. It is the prominent flower in the foreground, floating on the water. It is above the "a" in "Ophelia" on the plaque

flowers: pointy flower = iris. Biggest round flower: white rose. Medium round flower: Yellow Pansy. Smallest round flower: Red Carnation


Room Hints:

Hidden Keys:
Keys: In Cylinder, in couch table, in grammophon, in secret wine cabinet hidden in wall. If you lost one, Anubis has ONE replacement. Just one! So be careful with the rest

Green/Yellow tiles:
There are solvers for this online. Google "lights out puzzle solver"

Drawer Padlock:
The painting above will help you recognize the paper with the correct number, once you found it
you need to solve the green and yellow tiles!

Drawers puzzles:
sort the items
Those puzzles push the game engine a bit over the edge. If they bug or you really hate this kind of puzzles, Anubis will help you skip them

Golden Stick:
you need two! one is behind a puzzle, one is hidden in the room
Consolation is an odd word. You read it before!
make the golden "arms" cross over the poppy (the prominent red flower) on the Ophelia painting

Letter tiles:
I will fix the font soon, but the others i found so far are even worse! So, the letter you are most likely wondering about is an "M"
the trash bin holds a hint
I miss you

Letter sliders:
Use the sliders to cover some of the letters to make new words
look at the pictures to the left to get hints which words are needed
The last row is broken and missing something, you will find it later-on
Bride, Widow, Pain, Grave, ill

Statues:
you need 4 statues uncovered
access Horus by giving him the bird of prey the poet thinks belongs to him. Actually Horus is FALCON headed. But there is no falcon in game, so an eagle is needed. The number is the number of scrolls
from oldest to youngest
Osiris, Horus, Anubis

Flowers:
use the poster behind the painting as guideline. Also you need a letter, telling you about the order. use the key!
Eastereggs
The Raven:
The Anubis could look a bit more dapper
There is more than one word possible with the letter spinners!

@Santa Cook: No, there are not more hints, i wanted this to be a bit tricky. There is just two words in english that have just one letter. And most people assume "i love you". Then they spell "you" and then find that love is not in the cards. And see what else they can spell with the 4 letters. but yes, it definitely is something where people can get stuck, but i hope the hints here help :)

I was really stuck on the "i miss you" part. Was there another hint beside the "My heart," note?

@fraudulentalchemist the owl is wrong :D read the paper again about Horus! something else is needed
fraudulentAlchemist 8 Jan, 2022 @ 4:22am 
Can't access the Horus statue. Instructions are not clear if the owl needs to be placed before or after setting the number of scrolls, but it doesn't matter--I've tried every combination. If there is something I'm missing, there's no mention of it in the hints.

@looneyperson There is 12 nails (6 + 4 holding rope and 3 where the crowbar is found)
Looneyperson 27 Dec, 2021 @ 11:51am 
I still don't get the 4 digit combo for the suitcase. Like I can see six bags and 4 candles, I get that. But how do you get 1 and 2? I counted six nails in the room but how does that translate to one and two?

Update: I got to throw everything from my inventory, while the pictures and the locket was placed and then the golden head appeared, but not until then. Well, I am a hoarder in escape games :D

The Oblong box: I put the two pictures and the heart in eery possible permutation and the door wont open :(

wow, we must be operating on the same wavelength! I got this game recently and was following your guide and just published my own level with a Poe theme last night, then I stumbled on this one this morning. Edgar Allan revival :D
