This is amazing, but I can't figure out how to interact with the wheel that is supposed to open the corridor :( It's blocked by the shelving that pops out when you solve the papyrus puzzle.

I do not play this room yet, but what are slight "horror" moments?
luket87  [author] 29 Jul, 2024 @ 4:35am 
Would love to make a sequel, but I need to have time and good ideas! Hope I can make it asap.

This was an awesome room! Is there a sequel in the works? ;)

Was really fun second time round until I made all the animal heads go down and the button panel shut, no idea what to do from there
Monkey_Chicka 9 Nov, 2023 @ 8:29pm 
Wow, great room! Super fun. Thanks! :)

What happens when you place all 10 gems? looks like it did nothing

Best community room that exists! that was freakin' awesome man! I have one minor bug I want to report to you but I don't want to do it here in the comments, where should I send it?
Anyway, just wanted to say how great that room was. Fully thought out and intriguing story, very clever puzzles, and awesome custom effects. Well done!!

I absolutely loved this room!! :steamhappy:
I hope you plan to make a sequel sometime; The story is very immersive and definitely made me want to know more!

Wow. Amazing room, really well put together and the puzzles had a very logical flow. Not sure how to report issues other than here, and mostly are to do with the game not the room. I'll spoiler tag the others but I think this one is important for anyone - DON'T RUN in the corridors. DON'T RUN - I ran into the shrinking room and triggered the walls closing in but got stuck behind them. On restart I walked in slowly and it worked fine, but that was after I had to re-restart when I got stuck in the door in the first minute! Only real issue I have is that I found the planet puzzle and the facing of the pyramids completely NOT intuitive . The magnets are a bitch - playing singleplayer I couldn't see if I'd triggered the trip steps - maybe make the magnet stick to the board then be able to be dragged around? Then you could take a step back and see if the trip had 'registered' . Again, absolutely amazing room, totally enjoyable. Thanks!

Great room, probably the highest quality of all workshop maps we've played thus far. However, I did get stuck in the wall somehow when we opened the room with the vault key right where the door is and we had to terminate the session because there was no way to recover from it.

We had a blast with my bf. Thank you for this amazing room.
hetzer 14 Jan, 2023 @ 11:37pm 
The finest room I have played. Brilliant in every way!
Shrek 19 Dec, 2022 @ 4:57pm 
This is the best map that I have played.
ADOWsu 10 Dec, 2022 @ 6:17am 
Hi! So enjoyable playing the map! You are so genius!:steamhappy:

But there're two small things happened:
1. carelessly dropped the key over the trash bin and then the key disappeared
2. solving the overlapping hieroglyphs riddle and i put them all on the table but one tile just disappear
luket87  [author] 1 Dec, 2022 @ 4:03pm 
Thank you so much! Working on some new content hope to find the time to finish it!
USNVox 30 Nov, 2022 @ 4:16pm 
Still the best map there is. Hoping to see more from you!

Just played the map in Duo and it was a very cool experience
We still got a bug that made us search for something for a loooot of times
In the big corridor that puts you in the dark, you are not supposed to go threw the "trap" but still managed to do it (probably bc we were in Multi player). Hope you can fix it for other people who would like to try the map !

Hard map beceause you can do a lot of things at the same time (and being two in it doesnt help haha) but was rly fun, thanks !!
luket87  [author] 9 Nov, 2022 @ 5:11am 
Thank you guys!!
TheAW-J 9 Nov, 2022 @ 12:54am 
This.... This is a complete masterpiece and I enjoyed every.single.second. Thank you so much for your time and effort in this!
LightArcanine 6 Sep, 2022 @ 8:31pm 
Two things:
1. I have no idea what i was supposed to use my tiny key on
2. The guide for the hieroglyph puzzle was broken when i played. I could not interact with or pick it up.
Also, if possible i think it'd be a good idea to be able to pin things like clues so, we don't have to keep going in and out of our inventory
eve 4 Sep, 2022 @ 8:28am 
Honestly better than the levels that come with the game! The item movement and puzzle mechanics are unbelievably smooth, the parts usage is fantastic and the puzzles themselves are brilliant.

I did have a couple of small issues:

1. I was able to pick up the vault key through the chest, although I already had the key at that stage so not a massive problem
2. I could not pick up the purple gem attached to the pillar in the shrinking room
Country Breakfast 12 Aug, 2022 @ 1:08pm 
by far the best map I've played, great work
Oznuck 10 Jul, 2022 @ 11:39pm 
Genuinely, a very good room and I really appreciate all of the effort you put into this build! Looking forward to your next attempt!
absyn 25 Jun, 2022 @ 2:43am 
best custom room by far
combatwombat 5 May, 2022 @ 8:34am 
Fantastic map if not the bugs that completely break it. It's not that we couldn't solve the puzzles it's that we weren't allowed to.
StormySeaSailor 28 Apr, 2022 @ 2:49pm 
Nice job ! This was incredible ! :steamthumbsup: I hope you will do another one !
PouPouTe00 25 Apr, 2022 @ 3:27pm 
That was amazing, incredible job

Best escape room i have ever seen!!!
tbmb0309 15 Apr, 2022 @ 7:54pm 
I loved this room! I see some comments mentioning glitches, but I didn't have any issues. The puzzles were definitely hard without being impossible. I loved the way items came together toward the end. I spent 3+ hours on this room and had a great (and challenging) time all the while. The only setback I had was that I never found where to use the tiny key .

I would definitely recommend heavily using the trashcan in this map because the amount of items in your inventory gets pretty big. And don't throw anything!
Synical Outrage 13 Apr, 2022 @ 7:26am 
Great puzzles so far, but haven't been able to complete it due to glitches. I've had to restart 4 times so far due to items constantly falling through tables, the floor, the wall, everything. Went to place the binoculars in their spot and accidently clicked next to it and they fell right through the map. Placed the scroll hint on the table so I could look at it and it fell through the table.Tried to grab the photo of the gods and it just vanished. Opened drawer where the computer was and one of the square couples fell through the desk.

It would be great to have an item that we could throw and would return important items back to our inventory, like in "The Sleeping Lion Tavern" map in the workshop.

I'm going to try it again sometime because it's really well done but after 3 hours of restarting, I need a break haha.
WingedAsarath 9 Apr, 2022 @ 1:22pm 
Haven't solved it yet, but enjoyed it so far! My run was ruined by a bug where a key item fell when I accidentally dropped it and glitched through the floor. Still, had lots of fun before that and will try again another time :)
Dagna 6 Apr, 2022 @ 4:04pm 
I really liked that room. The only bad (for me) thing was with magnets . They was hard to move & I feel frustrated. But other things were great, it's full of a nice riddles, cool mechanics and even an interesting story.
zeo1337 4 Apr, 2022 @ 7:38pm 
Also, I made two puzzles harder than they should have been I tried to click the deities that matched the names in color order from the chart, assuming the obvious colors were wrong, rather than the pictures. I also worked out the couch puzzle quickly except for some reason I only knew about one of locks and never thought to check the other pillar, so there I was trying to figure out how to get a four digit number out of a span of 75.
zeo1337 4 Apr, 2022 @ 7:33pm 
Well I beat it without help, although I did look at the walkthrough because of the afore-mentioned problem, but I think I would have solved it just find on my own. A few other bugs but they didn't really harm the game. The clock hand can be grabbed standing against it and you can grab the balls out of the vases after they are closed. I also never got the ending message prompt back in the start room, so I had to exit the game and give a thumbs up here.
zeo1337 4 Apr, 2022 @ 5:54pm 
Accidentally lost the deity chart somehow. I threw it or something. Will probably need to see a guide to beat it without that.
Nestar 30 Mar, 2022 @ 8:06pm 
Walked into the "secret tunnel" and got stuck, could not move, both of us in the group were frozen in place and had to quit.
River 27 Mar, 2022 @ 12:21pm 
Just finished this map the other day and MAN what an experience!! Your puzzles and worldbuilding are top tier. The use of space to create such an intricate experience is wonderful and reminded me of the room games. The only issue i found to be detrimental was the lag of the heavy load of the level, even then we enjoyed every moment. We also encountered a bug where we could walk straight past the painting and down the hall to get the key early, not sure what cause that but still no immersion broken. We only realised it was a bug after finding the secret room. I hope you keep making games, what you did here was brilliant.
Magnitude 13 Mar, 2022 @ 5:31pm 
Was able to finish in a couple of hours. This room was done PERFECTLY construction wise. Personally I'm not a fan of the horror stuff but fortunately it was just two parts and I'm willing to put up with that for the amazing content that was provided in this room. Every time I felt stuck I eventually figured out the answer after just giving a moment or two of thought. It was the exact kind of pacing a good room should have, best community made one I've played so far.
-Frenzy 13 Mar, 2022 @ 7:12am 
Good map to enjoy with friends, sadly we encountered a bug whereby the magnet glitched out into the sofa/couch and we were unable to get the last relic to get out.. Hope itll be fixed soon!
Rhiannon13 11 Mar, 2022 @ 2:56pm 
Encountered a bug, I was unable to grab the purple gem stone in the shrinking room, it just failed to highlight and be able to be picked up . Great game regardless! Thank you!
kukelia 9 Mar, 2022 @ 3:43pm 
what happenn when you put all 10 gem stones?? I did it with my friend but we didn't notice anything
TheFatRaccoon 7 Mar, 2022 @ 12:39pm 
Best room I have ever played. Thanks for the great experience :)
Simplicityp12 7 Mar, 2022 @ 12:33pm 
Have had to restart the game 2 times because an item got lost in the ground.
Sad when its such a long map, cba to restart.
CalloughCallay 5 Mar, 2022 @ 9:02pm 
bug? I used the gold key on the wall by the trash. the key disappeared and the secret shrinking room did not open.
Shadeslay 5 Mar, 2022 @ 7:23pm 
Hi Luket,

Thank you for this incredible room - I played it with my partner this evening and we really enjoyed it. It took us around 3 hours in total.

I was really impressed with the puzzles - and as you suggested, having a notepad and pen handy was helpful. All of the puzzles made sense; and matched our expectations of a 'hard' room.

There were a couple of bugs we encountered, of which I'm sure both are easily fixed. One downside to having a longer room, as you acknowledge, is that when bugs do pop up, they will be all the more frustrating for the player. I will try and ping the details across to you on Discord sometime this week, along with some more detailed feedback, which you may find useful.

The animation, audio, puzzles and overall design were top quality though - amongst the best I have seen. I can confidently put this in the top five rooms we've played so far (and we've played a lot!).

Well done - great job, and highly recommended!
luket87  [author] 5 Mar, 2022 @ 2:50pm 
Tahnk you guys for your feedback. I will try to release an update ASAP. Bit busy in these months
Archeius 5 Mar, 2022 @ 9:34am 
Best map I've played so far . Maybe the magnets on the map are a bit random considering player can drop it through the cabinet ... good thing there are two of them difficulty, level design, sound, everything is amazing!
Thank you, and I really hope to see another map from you ;)
SkayoDev 5 Mar, 2022 @ 2:48am 
Had a ton of fun solving your puzzles! It was pretty hard, but I aaalmost managed without clues! Thank you for making this!
