Hm... Gotmail, never heard of... I'll give it a try... ;-)
ReplyDeleteOOOOH, Gotmail! (shrieks like a Bieber-fan ;-)
ReplyDeleteStuck with two keys, an empty remote and an empty frog. Thought the letter box needs the letters from guitar string, but nada.
ReplyDeleteTwo keys, one battery, one remote, one flashlight. Opened bedroom door, trying for the other key. There's a trapdoor in the top of the bedroom cb.
ReplyDeleteOther key gives 2nd battery, trying to open curtains in 1th room now.
ReplyDeleteHi Christina! I'm following your footsteps. :-)
ReplyDeleteDon't :-) I'm not good in Japanese and I think we've got translation issues. O btw chip from flashlight. Opened curtains, found dvd-box. Need code for DVD player and key for blue book (diary?)
ReplyDeleteUse flashligt on trapdoor, put in frog. Don't know what that did, but it did fit.
ReplyDeleteCan't find the trapdoor in the bedroom?
ReplyDeleteWoah, you are fast! Think I'm where you are, more or less, and- yes: knowledge in japanese seem to be important. Have you played on the other website already? There is a link for another site in the drawer beside bed. I think we have to play the tune that is written on the other side of the paper.
ReplyDeleteHello everybody! I love gotmail escapes, but I never get them on my own lol... @Christina, please help with flashlight and battery, I only have two keys, a frog statue and the remote...
ReplyDeleteSmall-tool: it is in the closet. You need flashlight with batteries to see it.
ReplyDeleteAh ok found the trapdoor it's inside the cupboard.
ReplyDeleteBtw batteries can go in the remote too.
What happened to the production of English-translated Gotmail Games?
ReplyDeleteOne key fits the bedroom door, then you find more. The trapdoor is in the cupboard, look up where the garments are and use the flashlight to see it properly (alternate batteries between remote and flashlight)
ReplyDeleteOpened the curtains with the remote (use the third option on remote).
ReplyDeleteHello Jutti: one of the keys goes into one of the doors. I was stuck there for a while too.
ReplyDeleteThere is also a keyhole under the table.
ReplyDeleteI can't find the flashlight?
ReplyDeleteI have only one key (from the frog) and it doesn't open anything. And an empty remote... I can't find anything else.
ReplyDeleteAnd a key from behind the hand statue.
ReplyDeleteUsed remote on tv and on dvd, but dvd needs a code.
ReplyDeleteI think the flashlight was under the bed.
The other site highlights the notes from a-g on a piano keyboard. I think it's for the box near the hand, but found no translation yet.
ReplyDeletethanks small-tool, found flashlight, try to catch up!
ReplyDeleteThere is also a necklace under the pillow in the bedroom.
ReplyDeleteI placed the batteries inside remote, then changed to the "first Japanese symbol" while pointing to the window.
ReplyDeleteCurtains opened and "DVD" is located on the bottom left side of window
3569 Doesn't work, trying on variations now.
ReplyDeleteChristina: I'm also trying to find a translation from notes into japanese, but I haven't found it so far.
ReplyDeleteWhy did you try 3569 Christina?
ReplyDeleteI have 2 useless keys, an empty remote and a frog. I've been clicking everywhere again and again, I can't find anything else, I'm starting to think that we are not playing the same game.
ReplyDeletePascale, you can use of the keys to open one of the doors to get to the bedroom.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if this helps:
ReplyDeleteThose red boxes under TV should be DVD of
Beethoven symphony No. 3,5, 6,9
Vivaldi's Four Seasons (1 - Spring, 2 - Summer , 3 - Autumn , 4 - Winter)
Pascale one key to open bedroom door (right of sofa)
ReplyDeleteYou can also get in using user name aaa and password aaa. I find it much easier to remember! LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you Small-Tool ! I had tried this several times, but it only works now ?!
ReplyDeletePut frog in locker in wardrobe dont know what it did though
ReplyDeleteIn the lower drawer in the bedroom there's a note. Turn it over, you'll find a postcard. Click it, it's a link where you can see a part of the room with the piano. You can click different parts of the piano keyboard, which makes Japanese characters appear on the screen.
ReplyDeleteThis is not much fun like this. I will play it when the English version comes out eventually.
I have to do some work as well. Anyone come up with the musical notes yet? Or found another use for the second key? Or found another key?
ReplyDeleteSuchun! Mhtythr! HELP!
I'm afraid it's a language problems for the letter code and the 4-digit dvd code.
ReplyDeleteAnd wondering if the (turning) hand gives some kind of hint and don't understand the hint on the guitar!?
I think that red card found in flashlight goes in video cam out of window, but window is shut!!!
ReplyDeleteI tried to find out what the signs on the paper in the bedside locker mean or how the piano works, but without success. Too bad.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have sound? I don't.
ReplyDeletefound a Cd back left on the window
ReplyDeleteIt really seems that this time the language barrier is stronger than in other gotmails... I will come back later, wish good luck to you all!
ReplyDeletesmall tool
ReplyDeleteopen the curtain then click the left hand side
get CD
see the musical note
which is 8 16 and 2
enter 8162 for DVD

Notes on the note in drawer in bedroom:
ReplyDeleteLA SHI DO SO LA SHI
Has anyone figured out the purpose of the link to the 'rival' graphic on other side of the note-paper?
Thanks Jillydoc, that's the trick.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure s-t, glad to repay the favor!
ReplyDeletethe left lamp off reveals one single japanese character on the dark picture. above a sign with a heart that looks like the heart behind de waistbasket.
ReplyDelete(sign is only there with light off and curtain closed)
ReplyDeleteNo idea where to use the key-card or necklace?
ReplyDeleteAnd why can we still use the key that we used on the drawer in the closte in the bedroom?
copy from a Chinese forum
ReplyDeletewhich is
ド(do)、レ(re)、ミ(mi)、ファ(fa)、ソ(sol)、ラ(la)、シ (si)
C(do)、D(re)、E(mi)、F(fa)、G(sol)、A(la)、B(si)
oh no, more signs and more to translate (and a musical note, so probably a new tune)
ReplyDeleteI got the CD into the DVD, but nothing happened
ReplyDeleteNot only one sign Christina, a lot of signs/characters.
ReplyDeleteChristina: there are a lot of signs on the picture, at least 5! Good find!
ReplyDeleteI see five characters...? white, cyan, white, orange & pink...
ReplyDeletegot SD, where to go?
ReplyDeleteOoh, where Vera?
ReplyDeleteVera, try diary in bedroom drawer...
ReplyDelete@jillydoc I see 5 too, they translate into
ReplyDeletesu ku ri a su if I'm right. Now find the use of it :-S
it is a SD card, maybe from the flashlight, I don't remember
ReplyDeleteScrewdriver!? where? how?
ReplyDeleteturn on 2 lights and still nothing happened?
ReplyDeleteTV need electric power
HAHAHAHA! OHmigosh Vera SD is shorthand for Screwdriver! LOL
ReplyDeletesorry, I confused you. It is a SD card, not screwdriver
ReplyDeleteIt's okay, it was very funny! All escapers look for the elusive screwdriver in games. LOL
ReplyDeleteYep also thought she meant screwdriver, lol
ReplyDeleteAnyway I tried the keycard on the diary and it made a sound!? Didn't open though.
Damn NCIKU is down so no drawing japanese symbols LOL
ReplyDeletethe right of the box with bukvait behind a wooden partition note on which to hang a necklace
ReplyDeleteI know we love SD... Selfdefiant the best!
ReplyDeleteLOL SDcards are memory cards used in cameras and similar

ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThe light in the bedroom is suspicious too. I suspect we'll have to look at something under it soon.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI think su ku ri a su is for the guitar strings
ReplyDeleteOoh, good find Lukruna!
ReplyDeletethen turns to the heart of the safe for trash
ReplyDeletebukvait????
ReplyDeleteNecklace powered up heart code place behind trashcan
ReplyDeleteread other comments @lotjemar, you use one key for the bedroom door and then the other stuff is easy.
ReplyDelete@Lukruna, could you be more specific? to the right of what please?
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteOh LOL bukvait= bookcase? Found that view and used necklace now
ReplyDeleteGreat find Lukruna, thanks :)
ReplyDeletesorry lukruna, good find (only saw your first comment)
ReplyDeleteHeart code can only be four digits/letters
ReplyDeleteneeds a 4 letter or number code....humm
ReplyDelete@Christina I apologize to the left of the box with the letters of a wooden plank
ReplyDeleteWell and truly stuck! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe characters in the picture next to the lamp read kurisumasu - Christmas. It's a hint for the heart box behind the trashcan.
ReplyDeleteWe probably need the su ku ri a su from the picture, because there's a heart too, but what does su ku ri a su mean?
ReplyDeleteHmmmm symbols from picture are katakana
ReplyDeleteIt worked, the christmas clue. THANKS!
ReplyDeletecode maybe something to do with de guitar hint?
ReplyDeletepicture says su ku ri ma su, made a mistake on the ma
ReplyDeleteAnd that means Christmas
Ah thanks Garnet, that worked.
ReplyDeleteWow! New TV
ReplyDeleteKey and ID card work but not mini disc..
ReplyDeletehow jillydoc? was still figuring out the christmas word
ReplyDeleteOops yes it went.
ReplyDeleteAnd now we can use the key and the id-card on the new television.
ReplyDelete1225 is christmas.
ReplyDeleteyes Unlocked the hart!!!!
ReplyDeleteGot bookmark from diary, put it under lamp and now can't read it! LOL
ReplyDeleteGot the keyboard now, but no idea what to type?
ReplyDeleteLOL Now I get it but here we always put days before months
ReplyDeleteSorry Christina, missed your post.
ReplyDeleteClick on the mouse!
ReplyDeleteWhat to type on the keyboard?
ReplyDeleteHow did you open the diary Jillydoc?
ReplyDeleteAh ok, the key was under the mouse.
ReplyDeleteI can tell the last character is a nine on the bookmark, but nothing else!
ReplyDeleteI saw the ISS in the screensaver, maybe that's a code for something. Now to unravel the bookmark...sigh. Or maybe Garnet reads japanese?
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if there's more in the diary than a bookmark. I can keep on turning pages.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone translate that metal strip?
ReplyDeleteThird character from end looks like a U on the keyboard...
ReplyDeletesorry
ReplyDeleteI have used all 3 keys
and I can't see any mouse or open the diary
any help?
Now clicking on the file opens it.
ReplyDeleteLottie, there is a shelf below the new screen, click it.
ReplyDeletejillydoc
ReplyDeletedo I need to find the ID card first?
I just can't click the shelf out...
Lol, can anybody read what the opened file shows?
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone lock up an empty diary? And we need someone to translate the pc-file as well.
ReplyDeleteLottie, ID card and little red disc go on the side above where you used the key.
ReplyDeleteLotti: I think yes. I think I inserted both, the ID card and the SD card.
ReplyDeleteLottie,
ReplyDeleteYou need a key, id-card and the litte red card to open it.
ID card was in the letterbox I think?
ReplyDeleteThe metal strip goes under the bedside lamp, in the yellow blob.
ReplyDeleteI got a metal strip with a 'greenish" wire, from the diary
ReplyDeleteChristina, there's a bookmark that you put under bedside table lamp.
ReplyDeleteID card was under coffee table.
ReplyDeletemaybe I miss something
ReplyDeletecan anyone help me with the ID card?
I don't know where is it
Help Shuchun! LOL
ReplyDeleteGot the strip in the yellow thingy, but nothing happends
ReplyDeleteThanks Christina! I got it wrong.
ReplyDeleteGod!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christina!!
Marcotica, what strip and what yellow thingy?
ReplyDelete@jillydoc, most call the bookmark a metal strip (looks like it). different words, same facts. No progress at the moment.
ReplyDeleteOh, Marcotica, turn on the lamp!
ReplyDeleteJilliydoc,
ReplyDeleteI think Marcotica means the bookmark.
Anyway I went through at least 100 extra pages in the diary and nothing else in there.
Marcotica: take the strip out of the yellow thingy and look at it in your inventory and turn it around.
ReplyDeleteMarcotica back out and look at wall
ReplyDeleteWe need
ReplyDelete- a key for near the window with curtains
- a way to open that window
- a way to use the red machine outside that window
- a translation for the pc file
- a translation for the metal strip bookmark
- why did the frog go in de bedroom cb trapdoor thingy?
- why does the metal strip bookmark go under the bedside table lamp
- does the guitar string clue mean 6 (square) 2 (circle) 5 (triangle) and where to use that?
- do we need to use the pc keyboard?
anything else?
And what's with the 5ID6LXR on the wall in the bedroom, where do we use that?
ReplyDeleteChristina, the light made the letters come up on the metal strip.
ReplyDeleteThe bracketed words in the PC file are the titles from the Beethoven DVDs on the shelf under the TV (the lefthand four), so the order in which they appear there is probably a code.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to figure out the bookmark but I'm not sure what the first word is.
s-t I wonder if that should be used with guitar clue?
ReplyDeleteBookmark goes in top right of painting above the couch.
ReplyDeleteI had the letters before I put it under the lamp @jillydoc. But I cannot see the letters @smalltool and @leroy mention.
ReplyDeleteGot an paper aeroplane from that picture.
ReplyDeletePOP does it @smalltool
ReplyDeleteAnd what to do with the Japanese word in the new web page?
ReplyDeleteAnd also a key inside the plane!
ReplyDeleteplease, where to place the necklace?
ReplyDeleteKey opens piano and now we're probably gonna use the guitar hint.
ReplyDeleteAnd I still don't know what to do with the second website (the 'rival' one) and the tunes on the piano there. I think it may open the piano.
ReplyDeleteopened the piano
ReplyDeleteCris,
ReplyDeleteLeft next to the letter box you can zoom in on the left side of the vertical shelf.
Escapism, going to other site enables you to open the abcdef box.
ReplyDeleteWow was I wrong about the light! LOL
ReplyDeleteSmall-tool: how can the bookmark go to the painting above couch? I can't interact with that picture...
ReplyDeleteOkay, this part is WAAAY over my head! LOL I'll wait for someone to break this code.
ReplyDeletethank you Small-tool
ReplyDeleteThanks jillydoc...
ReplyDeleteEscapism, maybe you have to put the bookmark under the lamp first, then turn on the lamp, and look at the wall.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe you have to open the file on the pc first, don't know?
Christina bookmark reflects light from lamp onto wall
ReplyDeleteSo we've got to use the 5ID6LXR and the guitar strings and the piano keys....
ReplyDeletephew!
Escapism, I couldn't zoom on the pic until I saw the code from the bookmark reflected on the bedroom wall.
ReplyDeletegod !!!
ReplyDeletewhen I press the key on the piano with
down triangle - equal sign - cross
the key that I use can take out and can't insert again!!!
And seems that the shape have been changed...
Ah, ok, thanks small-tool. I still wasn't able to look at the wall, so that might be the reason. Where exactly do I have to click to look at the wall?
ReplyDeletethen use the key
ReplyDeleteon the box near the curtain
(which is first use on the piano)
(after enter the correct keys, the key change the shape)
Almost 200 comments, so new comments will be on the next page! .
ReplyDeleteAHHH. POP! The reflection is beside the closet!
ReplyDeleteEscapism, its where the doors for the closet are a little to the right and there is wall space on the left. I thought it looked funny before.
ReplyDeleteEAdgbe for guitar strings
ReplyDeleteCDEFGABC for piano keys
