metmichallica, I have the BF version but Jo might know the answer

I got up at 5 am so I could play the first chapter before leaving for the day. I had forgotten just how beautiful this game was...and how sad the story is, I honestly don't remember how it ended 

The game on Steam is not the Ce version. I downloaded the game on Gamehouse which is the Ce version. The steam version has no hint or extras. Looks to me it is just the standard version. So I bought the game on Gamehouse (I didn't pay for it. I used a reward coupon). I love Gamehouse's rewards.

D-u-h! So here I was, in Chapter 2, having had to work really, r-e-a-l-l-y hard to get one inventory item. Finally got it by pure brute force of trying multiple combinations of things till something eventually worked. Along the way in my random quest, I managed to pick up 2 other inventory items virtually by chance as I was brute-forcing my way...pure serendipity, I thought, but grateful to have finding them out of the way. Anyhow, having finally chanced upon the solution that gave me the item I wanted and no clue of "how did they ever expect me to figure that out?", I went to use my hard-earned item, only to be presented with a problem that had at least 720 solutions. Surely no way to brute force that...ummm, though, silly masochist that I am, I did of course try several pseudo"obvious" attempts first, in hopes one would be correct. Ok, so clearly that approach failed and it finally dawned on me that surely they would have put a clue somewhere for me. And sure enough they had, when I finally went off to look for it. But after using it, I was presented with a new scene, part of which showed me how to get one of the objects I already had via the serendipity mentioned in the second sentence above. "Well, sheesh, thanks for nothing!", I thought, since NOW they were telling me, after I'd already mastered getting it.

Ummm, not quite "thanks for nothing"...it reminded me that this game really doesnt expect me to have to brute force things. It happily gives me clues along the way, if only I were smart enough to take note of them as they appear. So, belatedly and too late to be useful, went off searching for the clue that would have given me the original object I'd worked so hard to get by brute force....to find it readily available, (almost) in plain sight.

Moral of my story - brute force may work, but this game really does expect us to work a tad smarter & use brains and observation rather than pure randomness. Ah, good thing for my little mind to remember next time I go off randomly trying to solve something! Yeah, sure...who wants to bet I'll remember that only after trying to brute force my way yet again?? Ah, some of us are just downright untrainable! duh!

Beautiful game, and very inventive. Thanks for yet another great choice for our group playing pleasure pennmom !

I am probably way behind everyone because I was gone all day yesterday so I'm off to play for a while!

THIS is my favorite kind of adventure, games like Varenje, The Tiny Bang Story, and even A Tale for Anna. I especially loved the tiny bang, I like having to search for several items and then having to apply them to the task while figuring out sequences etc. so if anyone knows of a game with this type of scenario, I'd love to add it to the list!

As for Jo, she did not submit her request for a vacation and/or subsequent adventure before departure otherwise I would have joined her...hmmm, good thing I'm not the suspicious type?!

Anyway, she did send some videos and seems to be having a wonderful time!

Ok, hate to admit it, but I'm stuck. Very near the end, I think, but I've tried all the things I can reasonably think to try using "logic"and the clues I can find. All unsuccessfully, so I tried the "Hint", and it merely points me to the area I already know I need to work in. I resorted to looking at a YouTube video and their solution makes absolutely no sense to me, so I have not bothered to try it yet. I dont want to progress till I understand the answer & have a chance to look at the scenes to figure out what it is I am missing. I'm in Chapter 5. Rabbit is holding his comatose sister on the brown platform, under the column with 6 colors, arranged in 2 columns of 3 rows each. The colors are blue, green, orange, red, yellow, and purple. Apparently I need to put them in the "right" order so my characters can advance. Can someone give me a hint as to "why" the answer is as it is?

Finished just in time for my hand  treatment tomorrow  Cool Dancing . What a great game, the story is so sad but the best ending of course and it was so fun to try and figure out all those perverse clues.  Onward to Sam and Max, can't wait!
