Full Guide with hints & solutions
Entrance (the letter)
hints:
the numbers can be found spelt out in the letter | there's one number per "chapter" | there's one letter per line in every "chapter"

solution:
capital letters | answer: 1 2 4 9



Main Room
hints:
the white lines all over the room are cables which show where the puzzles are | complete the patterns/collections for the books, toy blocks and vases, by collecting them throughout the room | some of the clocks are set correctly, some are not | there's a total of 4 vases to find and they "snap" into place, since there's a single dedicated spot for them to go in

solutions:
-clocks-
the times the clocks show have to go from 1am/pm to 12pm/am in ascending order

-item locations-
pink books:
inside the top drawer underneath the clocks & inside the toy box, next to the sofa
purple books:
on the very top shelf of the bookshelf & underneath the toy train cart
cyan books:
behind a plant close to the fireplace & on the little table with the gramophone, close to the vases & on the bottom portion of the side table next to the sofa
vases:
two of the blue vases are already on the table, but switched with each other & the orange vase is to the left side of the bookshelf & the green vase is in the bottom left cabinet of the drawer opposite the fireplace
toy blocks:
the d block is hidden underneath the sofa & the e block is in the lower right cabinet of the drawer opposite the fireplace & the g block is in the middle drawer undearneath the clocks



Puzzle Room 1 (perspective room)
hints:
-general hints-
any of the three colored buttons you press will lift up blocks from the ground | it's generally easier and intended to only have one type of the colored blocks be in the air at a time | every puzzle asks of you to stand on the right spot

-red blocks-
have to be lined up with a display | only 3 numbers will be visible if you stand correctly

-white blocks-
same as the red blocks, they have to be lined up with a display

-yellow blocks-
ignore the displays | every single one of the yellow blocks is necessary to see the solution | circling the blocks might help seeing the solution

solutions:
-red blocks-
has to be lined up with the display close to a corner in the room | the markings on the blocks show the order of the solution | answer: 5 3 9

-white blocks-
it's the display opposite the door | the blocks must form shapes | answer: 8 1 6

-yellow blocks-
the blocks themselves form the numbers | answer: 7 2 1



Puzzle Room 2 (pressure plate room)
hints:
-general hint-
the room is "mapped out" on the display you see as you step through the door

-first display-
the red blocks are necessary for the solution | you need to "copy" the pattern shown

-second display-
it's basically asking you to do the same as the first one, but inputting the solution somewhere else

-third display-
the way of inputting the solution has changed again | there's something different about this display compared to every other display in the room

solutions:
-first display-
put the red blocks down on the floor in the pattern matching the one on the first puzzle display

-second display-
the blocks on the display are buttons | the solution can be found on the ground and has to be matched by inputting it on the display

-third display-
the floor acts as the input to the solution | notice the little triangles on every display | the display is flipped upside down | the easiest way to enter the solution is to stand on the opposite side of the room, looking straight at the display and copying the solution to the ground, as you see it on the display



Last Room (optional area)
hints:
-door puzzle-
the ground of the small corridor is mapped out on the display, like in the pressure plate room

-general hints-
look at the lines on the wall to see which puzzles need to be solved | the bigger 5th clock can't be solved until you solve both the 4 clocks and the books

-4 clocks-
the dice are tied to all the clock puzzles | the lower left clock is meant as the introduction to the idea

-book & letter block shelf-
the top left book is meant as the tutorial | all the books have to be set in their correct spots | you don't need to spell words with the letter blocks

-5th clock-
the button next to the clock is necessary to solve the puzzle | press the button to make clock hands come out of the block in the ground | it's not roman numerals

-board puzzle-
there's 3 separate solutions that happen in sequence | you have to look for clues around the room | it's intentional that the second solution is more difficult to be put together than the first

solutions:
-door puzzle-
the display on the wall is showing you the locations of the red blocks, which need to be entered on the door panel

-4 clocks-
the 4 areas on the dice shelf are supposed to correspond to the position of each clock | you have to match the time the clocks are showing with the time the numbers are forming | answer for top left clock and shelf: 02:35 & answer for top right: 11:20 & answer for bottom left: 06:45 & answer for bottom right: 09:40

-book & letter block shelf-
every book but the top left one is positioned incorrectly | one book you need is found somewhere else in the room, location: on the shelf with the dice, underneath the 4 clocks | you can interact with the book on the bottom right to put other books on top of it | you need to read the titles of each book in order to place the correct letter blocks | the letter blocks must correspond to the first letter of every word in the title of each book, example: "Time To Die" = "TTD" | answer for the top left book and letter blocks: Eyes Wide Open, E W O | answer for top right: Lost In Rome, L I R | answer for bottom left: Battle Until Death, B U D | answer for bottom right: You Know My Name, Y K M N

-5th clock-
it's a perspective puzzle so you have to position yourself correctly to see the solution | the clock hands are acting as arrows, pointing at something | they have to point at the numbers on the drawers with the dice in them | the first digit has one hand pointing at it, the second has two hands pointing at it, etc. | answer: 04:15 (both the clock and the dice underneath have to be set to this time)

-board puzzle-
there's broken board pieces scattered around the room that you need for two of the solutions | the little triangle on some pieces is showing you in which way they're oriented | you need to copy the patterns you see on the scattered pieces onto the board | the smaller board pieces are for the first solution and you can drag them together to form a 3x3 board | the 4x4 board pieces can't be dragged together and that's intended | the last solution is a perspective puzzle (which gets activated by pressing the button attached to the board) that requires you to position yourself correctly | for the last puzzle, you need to position yourself in such a way that the floating blocks form a pattern on the display you see on the wall | position of the red blocks for the 4x4 board because it's the hardest to put together: first row: first block & second row: second, third and fourth block & third row: second and third block & fourth row: second block

In the main room,i find all books but i can not open the door.what should i do

I've never heard about anybody having this problem before, so I'll let you know where every book is, in case you missed one:

total book count = 7

pink/red-ish (sorry, I'm colorblind) book count = 2
locations: in the toy box next to the sofa & underneath the toy train cart

purple book count = 2
locations: on the very top shelf of the book shelf & in the top drawer underneath the set of clocks

cyan book count = 3
locations: in the bottom portion of the side table near the sofa & on the table with a gramophone next to it, close to the tables with vases & hidden behind the plant closest to the fireplace

If you actually found every single book, but the line connecting to the shelf didn't turn yellow, I can only suggest restarting the room and hoping it works that time

Thank for your answer,I really missed a book because i fell into the mindset of only having two copies per sample.this is a nice game,especially for the dislocation vision.

In the optional room, we can't find the last book

deki  [developer] 7 Dec, 2021 @ 3:06am 
sorry for not including that in the guide, it's been edited, so thanks for pointing it out!

you can find it on the shelf with the dice, underneath the 4 clocks, in the same room

Great map! Only issue I've found is on the optional section, For the 5th clock, setting it to 4:15 doesn't work and so I wasn't able to complete that area.

thank you, we're glad you liked it!

i suspect you only set the clock without putting the correct set of dice underneath, both have to be placed correctly

if you did all of that however and it still didn't work, I'm honestly not sure how that was able to happen to you, since we just tested it and it worked

Oh my god I didn't even notice the dice area underneath that one. Yep that's totally what I missed. Total error on my part :steamfacepalm:

I did the vases before I looked up the answer and nothing was happening

there's a total of 4 of them to find and they all "snap" into their correct spots

we've adjusted the guide to be clearer about the vases, sorry for not including that right away

that explains it.. no worries. I only got 3 of them so im missing one somewhere.
Update: Im such a dummy! I found the missing vase and solved the whole puzzle. Absolutely enjoyed it, even my son got involved with me. Had so much fun solving this puzzle, I would HIGHLY recommend it!!!

it's hidden underneath the sofa

we hope you found it on your own, but we'll soon update the guide with locations for every item to collect in the main room

Is there a easter egg with the LP player and the colored blocks in the drawer?
Got it to play some sound a few times, but not sure how.
