Just finished the Spot puzzle. Best puzzle in the game period. They should make a full game around Spot

Oh, I would buy and play a full game with only spot in it!

I now turned on the fountain and Spot turned into a shell (NOOOOO) we stop here for now, right?

He he, that was also the point where I first stopped, great minds think alike
But rereading Sefir’s description I realized I had to do a bit more, I guess I was impossible to be more specific about the stopping point, without also spoiling the scene.

I just finished the color puzzle. I just moved the dials randomly until I got the blue color at the end. Is there more to it, or do you just use trial and error?

If you pay close attention and write down which colours mix to produce which colours, you could probably solve it logical or on paper, but it doesn’t use any colour system I have ever heard of, so yeah I also just randomly hit the buttons until I got it right. Magic colours perhaps?

The “2nd ending” however is more of an easter egg like achievement than anything… left me a bit disappointed….

IMO, they shouldn’t have added a second ending, especially not this one. It was perfect the way it was.

This is completely true.

I do love spot at the end of the game however!

Love how the game gives you tiny clues when you’re close to the exact solution. They overdid it in one instance, near the end of the third chapter, though.

Asgils, actively preparing for the attack.

The ultimate whining - the way he says “Like the goals I’ve set myself” is probably the reasons why some hate don’t like Sadwick’s voice.

Commentary icon should really have been done in the same style as Spot’s icons. It covered this ugly(ier) trophy!

One of my favorite view in the game. (and Sadwick doing the Guybrush:

)

This view was mirrored in the preview (I kinda like it even better).

There’s a cool lighting effect here. I don’t know if that’s because of the ceiling or my fiery Spot!

Another cool effect with the armor sticking in front on the far right.

Too late?! The leader of the Asgils is sleeping in the kitchen!!

Nice to know where the reference comes from. I wonder how many more cultural references I lost….

More of a trivia… (DON’T read this if you’re still in Chapter 3):

In Chapter 2, when looking at the painting:

which is a reference to Marco Hullen, the author of the game.

A reference to “Lord of the Rings”. “Mellon” is a magic word for Doors of Durin on which it is written “Speak, friend, and enter”.

The famous Larry 1 quote.

Phew! Finally, done with the 3rd chapter. I need to get over the insult to my pride and admit that the one puzzle that stumped me is the most obvious one, and the one I’ve been boasting around with - and that’s closing the already opened door. They got me on the fourth attempt.

And that’s probably of the nice view that distracted me:

I love how they took care that views through doors, windows… are relevant to the scene. (like in Sadwick’s or grandpa’s trailer). Those little things can sometimes boost the immersion.

Like I said, I liked the rotating rooms, and even the fact how trivial the reason is for it. I’m holding by my statement though, that the first chapter is my favorite, but the third one probably has the best puzzles.

What I didn’t particularly like is the “run of the mill”, intense orchestra music in this part. Well, not that it sucked, but having being stuck for few hours in the village, I needed something more lighthearted to boost my spirits up, so I put Dire Straits on instead . There’s nothing better than hearing “Once Upon a Time in the West” once you finally get out of the gully and get a sight of Corona!

I don’t know if I can catch up with the tempo for the 4th chapter… until when do you plan for us to finish the entire chapter, Sefir?

I wanted to be clear with you this time. 

Relax, I’m just asking what’s the date to finish the entire 4th chapter? Because, if I understood, it’s separated in two parts?
