Comment 16, Monday, April 21st 2008 01:54:14 PM

Simon, Simple

:
to look left in the flower bed view, you (probably) need two things:
1.
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
a red handle, which comes from the first (non- hidden) flower bed

and
2.
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
an itty bitty piece of metal which comes from under the table (left leg) in the management shack. the two fit together.

Comment 17, Monday, April 21st 2008 01:55:50 PM

ZepolANT

:
charge phone


SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
get the charger from the bag, go into the room that the key opens, pick up the metal piece from the floor, combine it with the crank, go back to where you found the key, and click around near the left and you will see the hole in the wall, insert the crank, turn it, go back to the room, put the charger in the outlet, connect the phone and push the button to start the electricity

No problem...let me know if you can get the phone to call the guard, or have you figured out the passcode for the little safe in the room with the key? it's driving me mad!!

Comment 22, Monday, April 21st 2008 01:58:33 PM

Sdfa

:
also -

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
there's a petal you can take up on the tree ( i think you need to wait a bit to be able to pick it up)

Comment 23, Monday, April 21st 2008 01:59:23 PM

Simon, Simple

:
once you get the
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
thing from the locked cabinet
look at
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
your phone and combine the two
THE END!

although you do get yelled at so maybe that's not the correct solution.

HAHA I got in trouble by the guard for going up on the roof without permission.

Nice little game.

where's the letter for the triangle? I found the other two...

Comment 30, Monday, April 21st 2008 04:49:51 PM

Jesse

:
The letter for the triangle is

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
on the roof of the metal hut once you raise it with the crank. Just keep clicking around and you'll find it. Just remember, the triangle has to be upside down!

I didn't get any different endings with/without the sakura blossom and with/without the bag. Is there some other combination I need?

WALKTHROUGH

After wandering around on the roof of your place of employment (a distinctly Japanese activity) you find yourself locked up there.


You start the game looking at the tree trunk - feel free to wander around and explore a little. You can't ruin any of the rest of the game by doing anything out of order.

Find some nifty stuff? Yeah, some things are ridiculously easy and others are insanely hidden. Highlighting items in your inventory then clicking "about item" will allow a closer inspection of the object and enable combining some things later on.

OK, back to the tree:


SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Look up.

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
If you don't know enough to grab that note then have a closer look at it perhaps point and click games aren't really for you.

Wait for a few seconds and see what you can find... or catch

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
The fifth sakura petal to fall can be caught - although it only serves as a reminder of your time trapped on the roof and has no purpose in the game.



So that's it for the tree screen.

Move to the left using the arrow on the left side of the screen

Oooo, pretty flowers... and strawberries!

Look around for anything out of the ordinary

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Out of the ordinary as in that red block in the lower right section of the flower bed.

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Well don't just stand there, click on it and pick it up!



While you're here have a closer look at the things on the screen - click around a little.

OK, click around a lot.

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Click on the vertical bar above the right end of the Strawberry garden, the one kind of in the middle of the screen.

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Make a note of the letter "m" in the circle. Both the letter and the shape.



Move two screens right or left - either way you'll end up looking at the benches

Explore a little.

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
You should get the phone out of the purse no problem.
Look a little closer though - click around

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Click just above the purse when you're zoomed in on it. You'll find a hidden pouch or it'll flip over or you'll look behind the bench or you'll be temporarily transported to another realm... I'm not sure what just happened there.
Click around again

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Click on the little grey line. You'll get the phone charger.
Now get out of that realm before the zoogly wooglies get you.




Now move one screen to the right - check the doors.

Well of COURSE they're locked you ninny! This IS an escape game.

Look around on this screen and see what you can discover

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Did you find the alley between the shack and the stairwell structure? Well click between 'em if you didn't already.
Ooo look! More flowers and strawberries!


Click around here a little - keeping in mind what the note you found in the tree said.

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Click on the left end of the flower garden see what you can find there

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Well click on the golden heart shaped thing at the top of that screen - voila! You have a key.
Now move back out one step and have another look around.

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Click in the strawberry patch. MMMmm... Strawberries!
You found a small strawberry!
You're stuck on the roof...
You're getting hungry...
You're obviously fond of strawberries as evidenced by the purse on the bench...
You're also out of luck. No picking strawberries for you!

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Get over it.





Did you discover something else while looking around at the flower/strawberry screen?

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
That's right - clicking on the extreme left of the screen takes you to another section of the roof - with some weird hole in the wall. There doesn't seem to be anything you can do with that for now.


Ok, back out to look at the doors again.

Well now you have what you pulled out of the flower bed - USE the dang thing.

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
If you're not in the work shack by now then PnC games are REALLY not for you. Go find a nice search-a-word puzzle.

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
OK Ok, Highlight the key in your inventory then click on the workshop door to unlock it. Click the door again to enter.
I swear this is the last time I'm holding your hand through this thing.



There are some obvious things you can do in this workroom. Explore around a little.

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Read the two books available - take note of the shapes listed in the one and the instructions regarding solar panels in the other.


SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
See the outlet on the work table? Why don't you plug something in to that?

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Now hook up the phone to that charger - you have to click on the table just past the end of the charger to do this.

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Not much happening... push the button...
Obviously something else needs to be accomplished.




SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
See the tiny line toward the bottom of the left table leg?
Well don't just stare at it - click it!
Now you have a bar of some sort.


Move back out of the work shed and down the alley between the shed and the staircase. Go to the left there and find that hole in the wall again. Hmmm....

Put your little grey cells to work.


SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Bring up the crank in your inventory so it's on screen - then click the iron bar and then the crank again.
NOW you have a tool you can use.

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
I told you I'm not holding your hand anymore. Figure it out.



Move back out to the doors screen - notice the shed roof?
Have a closer look.

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Click on the vertical bar holding up the roof

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
take note of the equilateral triangle pointing up with the letter "p" in it.



OK, back into the workshed with you.

Now that you've adjusted the solar panels what might you be able to do?

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Push the button and charge up your phone! Although why the outlet has a switch on it is a mystery to me...


Pick up your phone now and take a closer look.
Make a note of what you see.

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
That cloverleaf pattern with a letter "r" in it


Click on the little white safe in the work room and enter the code you should have figured out by now

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
"rpm" right? Well enter it and click the heart

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
THAT didn't work out too well did it??

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Have a closer look at what the book said - pay attention to the triangle in particular...

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
It's upside down from what you saw on the roof - an upside down "p" is a...

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Enter the code "rdm" - yay!
Now take the gizmo out of the safe and find something to do with it.
NOTE: you have to go out of the shed for some reason.







SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
If you haven't plugged the chip into your phone yet I give up hope for your PnC future.
Read Fast! The script goes by quick! Not that it matters really..


Take another quick look around before heading back to work...

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Don't forget your purse!


Go dowstairs and face the wrath of the security guard.

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Sock him in the mouth and tell him to leave the stinking door unlocked next time!


THE END


SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Oh, and you'll want to start looking for another job real quick. That assault on the guard is not going to please the management.

to get happy ending


SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
After placing the call,you must put back the recharge chord in your inventory. Grab your bag. Then highlight the strawberry bag before entering white security door.

The best part of this game was reading AaronzDad walkthough. Unlike most walkthroughs which are unintelligible, this was also funny. Top Notch! Awful game though...
