  • A free 'escape-room' type of game for the AMIGA CD32 about a woman trapped in a strange room trying to find her way home. How did she get there? How can she escape? And most importantly, why was she brought there?
    I was a bit disappointed when I noticed there was only two rooms to solve. All the other ones had the exit to the next room already opened. The end boss fight was too easy, kinda hard to even lose (I never did, not even close on my first try, nor after when I goofed around to test the abilities). Edit - OK, went back to fight the boss to try to lose. Man, it's hard to lose, took forever before he killed me (I would have killed him several times by now), but nothing happens, just a black screen.
    I randomly found out about this game when I checked UA-cam for recent Amiga game videos. For some reason none of all the recordings of this game got past room 2, which tickled my interest in trying the game. I didn't pay attention to how they solved the first room, but on my first try it took like 1-2 minutes to figure out what to do. The second room however had me stuck for like 15 minutes, lol. I knew I again of course had to figure out the right combination of numbers/words to press, and had several ideas of what they were and in which order. Like: the words I needed to press was obvious from the info I got from each place, like the blood's "Pierce Your Soul", which obviously must be the knife, the tomb is of course rope, and the pipe is wrench. But the order to press them in was harder to figure out.
    At first I thought it maybe was 2, 1, 3, 1 (knife, wrench, rope, wrench), as that's the order the lights go. But that didn't work. Then I thought there's something about the red light and how it lights twice. Maybe I needed to do something with the pipe twice? Maybe something with the blood twice? Nothing worked. Then I thought MAYBE I don't need to push anything this time, it's just a distraction, and I needed to interact with the different items in the light's order, like interact with blood, then pipe, then tomb and then pipe again? If course that wasn't it :), I just wanted to try everything I could think of. So, I checked the game files, the different images... and BAM! I noticed these lights are in THREE DIFFERENT COLORS. On my screen when I played it I pretty much only saw red and two "dark colored ones". My monitor is of course perfectly calibrated, perfect RGB and all that, and I'm not color blind, but thanks to the bright area around the lights, they appear darker than they are (typical visual illusion effect thingy our eyes have in certain lighting conditions). The game window was small compared to the rest of my desktop, and the background of my desktop was pretty bright, so what only really popped to me was the red color. But of course, looking again now in the same conditions if I look closer, I see they are green and blue. I just assumed they were the same shade of dark colors due to the small window, bright background around the lights in the game and my desktop background, and I'm sitting casually too far away from my monitor lounging back in my couch. But yeah, when I viewed the picture of these lights in my image program (black background around them) I saw the colors immediately.
    So, now the solution was obvious to me, it was of course: green, red, blue, red... which of course means: pipe, blood, tomb, pipe... and thus: wrench, knife, rope, wrench. So, if it wasn't for the color problem, this room would have taken me about 2 minutes instead :)

    Really low volume in this game. Should have amped it.
