For All
A little trick from past gotmail games...
mail: gotmail_game@operamail.com
pw: letmein
This worked for me...
?How to get started? It wants an e-mail and a password.
Thanks, Leroy!
Strange -- usually people want LOTS of folks to play their games! (slow to load as well)
These guys have always been like that...
@Leroy, thanks
So far, engagement ring, mirror, traded light bulbs, battery in lion, cell phone from towels (low battery), travel brochure.
Think I'm going to sit out on the balcony for awhile, then take a soaking bath!
Cmon hurry up guys Im stuck with ring, mirror, mobile phone, half a code, LED light and apamplett with some sort of code thingie on it....
By the way put battery in mask but think it needs an eye. Also need a lightbulb...
Oh, and half-a-note in Japanese.
Leroy, take the bulb from the other lamp. haven't seen the LED light.
Leroy
look under the bed
under the bed is an eye for the mask
Light in mask points at other wall..
Good morning @all!
Thx for the going-in hint, @Leroy!
Light bulb (used), ring, half of a Japanese note, mirror, phone (?), another note and battery so far.
Thanks for the LED light, Megi- put in lion head for light on thing behind curtain.
Hi all!
SD is under the pillow (you can get this location standing near t6he right сupboard)
@Megi you talking about the LED light or a real eyeball???
When I first put light in lion, the 1st hole was lit, but now it's on the 3rd hole and won't move!
we can use cellphone in the balcony
Eye for mask, put battery in.
2 places for SD, and 2 locks so far
Now green dot behind curtain, 2 dark dots to enlighten, I think.
Looking where to use phone, mirror and ring.
Move bulb back to 1st lamp, but no change.
Bloody SD was hard to find but now have complete clue and can place the ring out on the balcony...
phone battery died -- removed it.
Need a SD outside on balcony! And for red box, too, I think.
Hmmm changes colour and light positions on the wall....
Use lions rt eye to move light.
Any hints on the SD, Leroy?
SD - under the pillow
Ahhh so ring and lion eye change light positions and colours....
Think we need a quick translation of the complete clue paper....
SD: Right night stand view (not zoomed). click on the bed.
@Leroy, I guess so too. Tried all variations, nothing happened.
put mirror near the lamp
@Megi been trying that but have missed that pixel LOL
LOL click left of lamp and mirror then went rightside LOL
So what is the colour order?? Ring, mirror and ledlight allhave 3 positions....
Maybe something to do with the shelves??
Ring makes a red light in panel. You can get green on top of red or separate.
mirror position can be changed-rotate
I think, translation of the two notes would help with the colour / position code!
Mirror can be placed on right and left nightstand
colors
red blue green = key
3 positions for the ring / light
3 positions for the eye / light
2 positions for the mirror
Stuck.
ring on balcony on right side
mirror - you must see two green parts of leafes on it
Where the ring should be? can't get it anywhere
MegiPoland, thanks!
Hmmm right drawer sent me to a gotmail page?? Advert or clue??
But you can twist the mirror.
Tried GRB (top to bottom)
@Walk, look at table.
And have what appears to be a silver sheet from the left drawer??
Thx for the color hint, MegiPoland!
I were so foolish, I figured it out, nothing changed, and then, by chance, clicked and got the key!!!!
colours from left to right are
SrPOIblLEgrR
Went to nciku for note. It's Left, center, Right. Near as I can make out, the center one has something about Cabernet Sauvignon (red), but the others are "1 base" and "2 base".
Hi all...where's the mask eye? Searched under the bed (and have a dusty head now lol) but couldn't find it?
Cannot use phone on balcony, how did you manage this?
What to do with the white thing from drawer?
@ginger: Mask eye looks like a shower head for me, but it's really some sort of lamp!
@ginger the eye is actually the led light...
got towel now, and dunno what to do with it
Leroy, could you figure out what to do with white thing?
Just tried it in several places, even in the bath, but nothing.
And what do the hints "1 base, 2 base" (thx Puzzle!) mean?
No idea LOL Have tried wetting it wiping everywhere, etc LOL
Now I am using it on my sweaty forehead..
O whaha @Katharina...thanx! I already have that in my inventory lol...couldn't have guessed in a million years that it's supposed to be an eye!
I have no idea! -- I thought at least red in the middle, but even that wasn't right! Translations when you don't know the language can be tricky.
So a phone, a dead battery, a ring, a piece of foil?, and a travel brochure.
Still need another key, a card, and an exit code.
I tried shorting out the battery under the lion! Tried scratching it with the ring ...
@All if you click on the bottom of the brochure you will see something else......
But cant wipe that either LOL
Hi all.
Pretty hard game. Opened right drawer and the magazine takes me to the Stared website. On the picture there it seems there is a purple light on the balcony. Can't find it in the 'real' game.
Used phone and now my (phone) battery is empty. Weird game.
i think we have to open the lower left drawer, seems to be jammed... any ideas?
How to use phone? Mine will not do anything!
If you go to the link and click the text there, something appears as the shadow moves.....
So different screen comes up on phone when used outside??? Finally got battery out....
but I have no idea what it means
BL
GC
@Catqueen -- could that be a hint? It looks like a reflection. But can't find the angle.
there is something red on the bed,up right side just above the celing?
Katharina: use phone on balcony.
Got battery out too, but can't polish it either LOL
Puzzled: I don't know. That shadow freaks me out ;)
Thx catqueen, I tried it several times, but nothing!
Is there a special hot spot to click on I couldn't find?
O, sorry, it is the dot in the D that you have to click....
Katharina: just double click. Then click again to see sunflower. I clocked again and it said battery was out of power. Can't use it anymore and don't know where to put the empty battery.
Why is red vase moving ?
BLGC might be the exit code (if we ever find the access card)
@zoran we got something there, I think it was the battery?
@Zoran, battery was there.
Ah, thx Catqueen - just missed 1 click!
Battery looked like a keycard for me, but you cannot use phone at the code box.
@Gertien.., I forgot...it was a long time ago Lol
I think the shadow is the (soon-to-be-ex?) fiance coming to congratulate you on solving the puzzle.
Even tried to wipe sunflowers with the white thing from dawers, gr........ nothing!
Completely stuck. Whish s.o. could translate the hints!
use the white cloth on the blue lamp
1009 appeared
dont know where to use
by the way how can I get the BLGC???
What's with the purple orb on the balcony? (on website)
LOL@puzzledinCA
@Lottie, how do I wipe the blue lamp? The bulb, or when it is in the left or right lamp? i swear I've tried verything there already!
For the BLGC click the "link"in the right drawer, and on the picture you are linked to lick the white dot in the letter D
Well, my mind is fried -- good luck everyone! I'll check back tomorrow.
@ Gertien
I'm not wipe
on the view of a lighted lamp I just double click and view the cloth
Bye puzzled :)
Can't wipe lamp either.
In front of the blue lamp...about item the towel.
@Lottie Good one! I didn't see that!
BL GC does not seem to mean Green left Blue Center, I've tried that with and without the red to the right, and I've also tried blue in the left lamp in the bedroom, green as the center dot....no luck
TY Lottie but does anyone have a clue about the bottom of the brochure??? Do we somehow get a phone number off it?
@leroy: Even if we have a phonenumber we can't call with empty cellphone :(
Thx Lottie! All we need is a keycard. Huge language barriere here.
sorry, mean blue left green center.....
The colors are RGB. Thought when I made only red and blue there would be a purple orb, but no...
@CQ LOL I know that but cant I live in hope rather than despair?
Oh and maybe from battery RR is red right?
O, and on the battery is RR, red right? I'll try again.....
Will be back later after a snooze. Hell Ive been crowbarring my mums old rose bushes out of her garden all day...
@Leroy LOL back. We're trying everything. I even thought of going to my neighbour. His initials are RR.
Still don't now what that footer means on the letter.
thx to Leroy i am in the game...and its so slow loading
super 30%now....till i get 100% everybody's out :((((
Bye Leroy and thanks.
Gertien: I've tried that also (red right) but no effect here.
Pete B, unless you speak Japanese we will be stuck here forever!
I'll just keep the lights that way
Blue left, Green Center, Red Right
But by now I've retested virtually everything, and cannot seem to get anything new.....
Hey, I played with the lights and set them to red blue green. Now got a keycard!
@Catqueen your too smart to loose a game xD
ok, now i'm trying to scan the words with a ocr software to translate it...
And out, thanks to Lottie
finally in
After enter a code and trap again?!
@Catqueen,
and then we're all out! Great that the hints actually make sense.....NOT ! ;-)
Oh noooo I'm not out...just went to sleep, woke up and back in the room. Totally confused here!
oops, not out??? Nooooooo!
Now there's a coat with a cellphone in the closet. It's locked.
I can't pretend to speak Japanese, but I am in Japan. the funny T and boxes at the bottom of the pamphlet are for a postal code. will try to find anything else that might be helpful.
finally out
@Catqueen, got phone too... and we cannot get in to the bathroom anymore!
Still here actually but my muscles hurt.... RR?
Roger Rabbit? Led Light (Japanese you know)?
@CQ was that keycard or just a key??
gertie: Get keycard from the lights. Put in the lampcode from Lottie and leave through the door.
Wake up the next morning and took another cellphone. After that it's pretty easy.
@ CQ
take out the battery in the "lock" cell phone
then use it in the pink one
and out
Gertie: the locked phone has a full battery.....
Leroy: it was a keycard in just the same place the key was.
Ah, out too.....looks very gloomy, i don't think they went on their honeymoon!
My lights are red blue green, but no keycard!
But still....why the hint BL GC RR if the code is RBG.....
try to play again
I guess
(with some Chinese wording in the game description)
It may be a criminal kidnap by the one of player's workmate
@Katharina, click the panel, it will open and give you the card...
Kathariina: open the panel again. Maybe it's because I played with the lights too much. But the final order was red blue and green.
No, Gertien, when I open it, there are only the red blue green spots, but no card.
I'll try to change them into another order and then change them back to RBG.
Me same as @Kat.
And that is after playing with the lights many times so will wait for WT on that part....
RBG is the same as the key,isn't it? so maybe the maker has now changed the code to fit the hints? BGR? Reft is light?
Hello everybody! I was playing silently while working. Red blue green had been my first code. When I put it in again, I don't get the key card. The other combinations do not help either. Did I overlook something?
I saved the game at some point. Went back and now I can't get the keycard either. Will try some more and note my steps.
@ Catqueen
have you think about the items in the cupboard when you get the light code RBG ?
ok after i changed the colors to BGR and back to RBG the card appeared... out too!
@Lottie: no I didn't used it for the code. Still figuring out how to get the card. I remember I set the light to RR (red right) and then back, but that doesn't help anymore. Even tried RGB but still nope nothing nada..
@Heftig,
I've also replayed, and tried BGR, nothing, but it apparently rest the box so that after BGR you can again use RBG for the card...
I still don't understand why the original RBG code, by the way...
Thank you, Commander Heftig, that worked for me.
I remembered to grab the ring back this time, but the end was just as sad...
@Heftig: I did the same, but still no card. The settings must be in certain order.
I hope you all will get out, but as Gertien said, it was a sad end. (I think). Just stay in that large bed...LOL
Finally out. I like gotmail, but this one was a bit tedious. Change colors just to change colors? Would have been nice if the hint which was probably there in Japanese would have been available for the others as well. Anyway, thanks for all the help!
by the way, to enter gotmail-games also
mail:aaa
pw: aaa
works!:)
Catqueen, it is once red blue green, then blue green red, and then again red blue green.
friwi: THATS IT! Got the card again. But I quit cause I was out allready and after the card it's easy. Thank you all so much.
I think we did a great job considering we're not speaking the language so we did it without clues.
@ann: thx for the aaa, it works indeed and is so much easier.
so the light sequence will be
RBG
(I think if you think about the color of the item in the cupboard, from low to high is a clue...)
BGR
(BL eft GC entre RR ight)
RBG again
(see a sentence under the 1st sentence
Google translation: I heard that from here and Gakoso...)
Changed colours to GBR and back to RBG, didn't work. Now I'll try to change to BGR and back, hope this will work, as Kommander Heftig told!
No, didn't work for me. I'll give up for now and perhaps will try later on again.
CU!
I'm desperately stuck : I have got (and used) a key with the RBG code (RGB doesn't do anything), I have some kind of rag, or paper (?), an empty cellphone, a paper with "tropical sun village" and a note (from 2 pieces) written in Japanese.
yay! I finished a game without using any hints on the game (I'm not speaking Japanese) thanks for the clues on this page thanks guys I know this is a bit late but thanks again.
The game is in full Japanese yet the last part says "Fin" which is a french term weird.
Am i supposed to see numbers on the "tropical sun village" paper ? all i see i squares ...
Stuck with phone with new battery. Nothing on phone...
I just wanted to say, "Wow." I got the email about 'Stared' from GotMail at 5:27 this morning and come here to EscapeGames24 to find out that it's already completely finished.
Aww...I'm so bummed I missed this live. What a way to wake up though! A new GOTMAIL! One of my all time faves.
sure takes it's time loading though. Been at 79% for minutes now. :s
Do they ever translate their games to English, like in the old days?
@Chazzy I was wondering the same thing. We rarely get them anymore and they're never translated anymore either. Maybe they don't like us. :P
ahh...and finally my first key.
okay, out. Was having a hard time with the lights. My first try was correct for the key, but when I played with them to get the keycard I didn't realize I just needed to change them all and then change them back. Anyway, lovely game as always. I do wish they made them in English too still, but oh well.
Can someone tell me about numbers on paper, or what to do with phone please ;)
In case anyone is interested, here's the reason for the start and the ending:
This main character (gender ambiguous) fell asleep in a co-worker's car. By the time he/she realizes it, he/she's in the resort-like area. The note by the ring says, "It's finally time to pass this to you."
When you're done solving and about to leave, you hear sounds from the other side when you open the door. You want to be able to escape properly without alerting the kidnapper so you went back to pretend to sleep again.
In the end, it's this guy who's the supposedly "kind" co-worker of the main character (and the one he/she most likely took the car with) who wanted to possess you. >>;;
...Yeah, that's a weird one by Gotmail indeed.
Just now diving in... Wish me luck!
@ xploded-tb
firstly the player 1st call is for his/her mum but the line went dead as the phone ran out of battery
2nd call is 110(sth like that) is an emergency call for the police,the last scene should be in the police station
I used to enjoy Gotmail Games....but the latest few have been too hard for me...especially with language barrier....
I hope someone feels like making a WT, because the clues are not helping at all...so many things people say to do ...I can't find any way to do it...
either cannot find the thing or cannot zoom to where the thing is....Thanks for the clues, but please...a WT...someone?
I find that I am cheating more then solving this game due to language barrier. In a while, if true to form, GM will post this game in english. I will wait, for I really enjoy these games to much to escape by cheating.
I have a video WT but people want a WT in word form...
Well here's a walkthrough, but since I can't read Japanese, I can't explain WHY for any of the codes. This is just a compilation of the efforts of those who played before me. I always get too frustrated in language barrier games and just give up and follow the comments left.
To start the game, you need to give an email and password. You can either use gotmail_game@operamail.com and letmein. OR you can use aaa and aaa.
The game takes a long time to load, so be patient. Once it loads, the top button that shows up is new game. The bottom one is to load a saved game.
You've been kidnapped by a crazy co-worker who wants to marry you (I think).
Zoom on the trashcan
Click the top paper to move it and find the FIRST JAPANESE CLUE (that I can't read)
Back up
Click the closet doors to open them
Get the MIRROR from the floor
Note there is a keypad by the door that needs a code and a keycard
Turn left
Zoom on the tall bookcase
Move the red vase to find a BATTERY
Zoom on the bottom doors of the bookcase
Open them and get the RESORT BROCHURE
Click the bottom center of it to see something I can't read, but I think it is the address of the place you are being held
Click the red curtained door to enter the bathroom
Click up the stairs
Now zoom on the basket of towels
Click them until you find the PINK CELLPHONE – YAY!
Back up out of the bathroom until you can see the bookcase again
Turn right 2 times
Click the door to the balcony to go out
Open the cellphone (double click it in your inventory for the about item view).
Click the buttons to see the screen
You have signal out here!
Click the screen and you will attempt to call home for help
Click the screen a few times and the phone will lose its charge.
Darn! So much for the simple escape.
Close that view, and then reopen the about item view
Click just to the right of the bottom right corner of the phone to flip it over
Click the battery cover and take out the DEAD BATTERY (note the RR on it)
While still out on the balcony, click the railing near the left edge of the screen
Note the odd, screwed-on panel
Back up into the main room
So we need to find another way to escape
Click on the coffee table to the right of the balcony door
Zoom on the blue box and click the lid
Get the ENGAGEMENT RING left by Mr. Crazy
Turn right to face the bed
Zoom on the left nightstand
Note the top drawer is locked and the bottom is stuck
Click on the lampshade
Take the BLUE LIGHTBULB
Back up so you can see the bed and nightstands again
Click the right nightstand
This has you sort of at an angle to the bed
Click the bed pillows and find the SCREWDRIVER under the right one
Back up once so you are still looking at the bed at an angle
Click under the bed and take the LED LIGHT near the left leg
Zoom on the nightstand
Remove the lampshade and put the blue bulb in
Replace the shade and click the switch on the bottom of the lamp to turn it on
Zoom on the mask on the wall
Place the LED light in the empty left eyesocket
Click the nose/beak of the mask to lift it
Place the battery in the holder under it
Click to lower the mask
This turns the green light on. Note that you can click the right eye of the mask to change the location of the green light
Back up
Turn right to the bookcase view again
Zoom on the red curtained panel to the left of the bookcase
Click the curtains
See another clue I can't read
Turn 2 times to the balcony view
Zoom on the red box to the left of the door
Use the screwdriver to remove the screws
Get the SECOND JAPANESE CLUE
Double click one half of the clue papers and add the other in the about item view
Yay! A note I STILL can't read
Go out to the balcony
Click on the railing and use the screwdriver to remove the cover
There are 3 slots here that the ring can fit into
Place it in the rightmost slot (don't ask why, since I can't understand the clues)
Back all the way up so you can see the coffee table and foot of the bed
Turn right
Zoom on the right nightstand
Place the mirror to the right of the lamp (back right corner of the nightstand)
I don't think you can do this until you find and combine the 2 note pieces
Click the mirror and you can angle the mirror/move the light beam
Turn it so you can see a dark line on it when zoomed in (back up once, and it looks like 2 dark lines)
Make sure the green light of the mask is almost facing you
Back up and turn right
Zoom on the red curtains, and you can see the colors are red, blue, and green
Click the curtains and then the panel underneath
Get the KEY
Save the game here just in case you have trouble opening the new tab in a moment
Having Saved Your Game, you can now:
Turn left
Zoom on the right nightstand and use the key to open the top drawer
Click the pamphlet inside and it will open a new tab in your browser
Click that tab to look at the new website
It is an advertisement for this game, but there is a shadow of a man on the floor
In the advertisement, click the dot in the D
Watch the shadow of the man. He will disappear
You will see the clues BL and GC
You can close that tab now
Back in your game, back up 3 times
Zoom on the left nightstand
Use the key to open the top drawer
Get the TOWEL
Back up 3 times
Zoom on the right nightstand
Zoom on the blue lightshade
Double click the towel to open the about item view in front of the blue light when it is turned on
Note the numbers
The clue RR from the dead cellphone battery tells you to put the red light (ring) in the right position.
So go left, out to the balcony, and place the ring in the left slot
Go back inside, turn right, and zoom on the right nightstand
Click the mirror so the blue light is in the left square (BL=blue left)
So turn the mirror so it is the furthest from you
The other clue said GC so turn the green light to the middle (center position)
This resets the panel
Now you need to turn it back again to RBG
So back out to the balcony to put the ring in the right slot
Now back inside and turn to the bed
Turn the mirror so you can see 1 line on it, and turn the green light so it almost faces you
Turn right and zoom on the curtained panel
Click the curtain and lift the panel to find the KEYCARD\
Save the game just to be safe
Back up and turn right
Zoom on the codebox by the door
Put the keycard in the slot at the top
Enter the code from the towel
SPOILER1009SPOILER
Click the bottom right button on the pad
The light turns green
Back up and click the door handle
OH NO! The bad man is out there – he knocks you out and puts you in bed
So you are sent back in the game
Click to leave the bed
Turn 2 times
Zoom on the closet doors
Open the left one, and notice the new jacket inside
Click the jacket to zoom in
Click the pocket and find a cell phone
In the about item view of the new phone, click the buttons to zoom on the screen
So...this cellphone is locked
But the bad man didn't search you and take your non-working phone!
So click to the right of the bottom right of the blue cellphone to turn it over
Click the cover and get the CHARGED BATTERY
Back all the way up and turn right
Go out onto the balcony where you have reception
If you like, you can take the ring back from the balcony (it doesn't seem to change the end of the game)
Open the about item view of the pink phone
Flip the phone over and put the new battery in the back
Replace the battery cover and click by the bottom right corner to flip the phone back over
Click the front of the phone
Click the buttons to zoom on the screen
Click the phone symbol and the emergency number that comes up
Click through the ending scenes
You survived!
@KKF -- That was a challenging walkthrough to write! Thank you!! No spinning around the room trying to figure out what to do next.
I do look forward to seeing this in English just to find out what all the clue notes said.
@ PuzzledinCA:
I've been going back through old games of theirs and none of the ones I've seen so far are translated =(
It would be nice to understand the story, even if not any clues/hints!
Really great WT, kitkatfox!
I found out, why I couldn't get the card after changing light colours: You have to see the hints before you can use them, using them only with the comments here will not work, e. g. the # 1009 will not work before you use towel in combination with blue lamp.
And therefore, changing colours will not work before you didn't have a look at the website and clicking there to see the BL GC hint!
Hints on the broken orange paper:
(it is a Chinese wording game)
1.Left mouth with 1 line (日=sun=red light from ring)
2.Middle mouth with no line (see*)
3.Right mouth with 2 lines (目=eye=green LED light)
*Mouth=口=like the shape of the lamp
Oh, so there's the English version!
(Re-)Playing the game, now I can finally understand what happened with the color hint! (after you got the key)
You actually DO have to set BGR, then RBG again. It's no bug or something, but a secret mechanism.
RBG is for OPENING the compartment. BGR will probably cause a secret slot to open inside of the compartment (or, if you insist, a compartment inside the compartment) where the card falls through into the (still closed) compartment, so you need RBG to reopen it again.)
In the English version, when you set the BGR you can read a very descriptive sentence similar to
"I've just heard a knocking sound somewhere."
Makes lots more sense now, doesn't it?
The "hints" on the torn orange paper don't make sense at all, fortunately, Lottie has explained. Thank you also to Katharina and Kitkatfox.
They actually do NOT.
Two left, nothing in the middle, one right? (IIRC)
Initially I had thought it means you should use a color BLEND (2 sources) on the left or right hand side, and a non-blended color (1 source) and leave the middle without light!
But effectively only the BLGC (Blue left / Green center) combined with RR (Red right) made sense.
Nice to finally understand the story, as creepy as it is...lol
And I do believe they meant to title the game..."STALKED!" lol...just sayin'...lol
I don't get how you figure out RBG.
I thought it would be 1 0 2 lights, but obviously, that doesn't work. I can even understand it meaning green is right since that is made of 2 colors (blue and yellow). But why is middle none? One is 3 letters like red, none is four like blue, but green is more than three letters long (unlike two).
There are red, blue, and green objects on the bookcase, but they don't seem to mean anything.
Nice to know the story line (so I pretended to sleep and wasn't knocked out), but the colors just don't make sense to me.
I'm pretty sure the word "lines" (see Lottie's explanation above) got omited in the english version - "lines" of course referring to the chinese character. Really impossible to figure out for an english speaker
Still, very clever for somebody who speaks the language... (wish I could :))
Ohhh, that's so MEAN!
Thanks eli.
It's Lottie's comment from 7/29/11 8:26 PM just missed it first time in all that mess.
Yeah, that's definitely a wording game non-Asians can hardly grasp. And we would write letters as we want, there's no prescribed "stroke order" lol
Since I missed this game the first time around, I found it quite good!! Didn't have any problems with the game at all for a change. So much easier to understand with the English translation.
@mugglehead How did you figure out the colors?!
