it's a nice room, but i feel like there a few bugs... couldn't extinguish the candle in the first room until the 3rd time i reset and the tomb took positively for EVER to seal at the end.

Is there something you have to do in order to trigger the door closing in the last room? I am here and I picked up the note, but the door didn't close and Adelaide's voice didn't appear

@Conerad I don't remember the exact site now, I just remember I did a LOT of googling to find a site that had the ones I liked (for free). I also spent a lot of time listening to samples to find the right ones. Just takes a bit of time and persistence!

hello I'm sorry to write to you here but I would like to know where you would have taken your sounds because I'm looking for some as good as you but I can't find any

Cool and spooky with a great atmosphere! I was unable to read the last note cause the lights went out the second I grabbed it but other than that, a smooth and clever experience x

couldnt extinguish the first candle to start :(

worked after a few retries, oddly enough

Great job, loved the atmosphere and the story and the sound affects! had a little trouble keeping some of the puzzle sequences straight but, admittedly, a quick look at the walkthru got me back on track. However; for some reason I got to the last room and picked up the note on the wall by the mirror and nothing happened..what tomb? What voice? :steamhappy: I did stop the clock before I did the skulls, if that is of consequence. Overall :steamthumbsup::eskey:

The puzzles are very logical and the atmosphere is perfect, though! Excellent room!
I do have some issues though:
- text on the notes is tricky to read, I think bold typeface would fix it but obviously that's not too bad
- the knocks for the skull chains and the voice in the tomb never happened for me. For that first one I could just use the hints page but the second meant that, like Jay, I couldn't finish the room

Jay - Just discovered that myself actually on another room. Weird that the candle didn't work for you, it's worth noting though that the candle is only interactive once you open the briefcase and pick up and read the note.

I'm pretty sure it's an engine bug, if you face 90 deg to the wall and 'rub' up against a movable wall by pressing forward and left/right (the direction into the wall) you'll go through it. Not sure how to better describe it, sorry.

Jay - Strange, I'll look into that first candle bug. First time I've heard anyone mention that. Also, how did you glitch through the wall?

YeppeoGumiho - Thank you for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it!
Jay 18 Jan, 2022 @ 7:17am 
Not sure if I missed something or if there's some bugs but -- I couldn't put out the candle in the first room so I glitched through the wall instead. And in the tomb, the door never closed and I never heard any voice so I couldn't actually finish the room. Nice puzzles though.

Loved, loved, LOVED the elements in this room! The spooky sounds really created an immersive environment! The story line was very creative and the puzzles/riddles were exciting to solve! Thank you for sharing your hardwork!

Added Hints and Solutions as a discussions thread to this workshop page if needed :)

@LeeEverett If you mean by the end, just really follow the voice where it sounds louder thats how I did , nothing special todo

@The SCB General
the candles light up as soon as you each puzzle: 1. The skulls look into a specific direction 2.the knives from the portraits person have to be put in the right skull of their 3. the clock puzzle

Nice map, but I appear to be stuck. I finished the clock puzzle, but now I'm not entirely sure where to go from there. I stabbed the skulls with their respective knives, but I don't know how to access the pendulum. I'm assuming I need to light the black candles on the dresser, but there's nothing in the room to light the candle with. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hey does somebody know how to follow her voice into eternity
Wednesday A. 7 Jan, 2022 @ 11:55am 
It really took me so long :D it was a nice map!

Kind of tricky with the knifes
the knive of each guy has to be in the correct skull, you need the note where each brother is described :)

Thanks for the feedback!

I did beta test this and one piece of feedback I was given is that it's difficult to know whats East and what's West . I left it unchanged just to see if others had an issue, looks like they are.

I'll think about how to make this more obvious, but for now here is a hint:
Take a closer look at the miniature version of the cabinet, inside the case on the wall. Is there anything there that isn't on the main cabinet?

Hey, nice map, great atmosphere, but
Can't make sense of the rotating skulls, I think the order is [Arthur - Eli (pentagram in front of him) - Cecil (to the left of Eli, so right from my perspective) - Ulric
But the rotations are really confusing, I don't know where to look from, the rotating skulls, the miniature or the chairs. The tomb is the coffin? I don't know what is meant by the mirror.
