Entry's Ticking
You've woken up in Hell, and the only way out is through its judges, demons who speak a language you don't know. To answer them, you'll need to learn it, one word at a time....
----- You have a few seconds to plan your moves through the room.
----- Grab the key (pocket watch), recover words, avoid unstable tiles and reach the exit.
----- Once time's up, your moves play out, no changes.
----- Escape the room and a judge will question you. Your Goal ? get the correct answer.
----- Answer right, and the word is yours. Answer wrong, and you die...
----- You start with 30 words, I hope they will be useful...

Not sure if this is a bug or an intentional gameplay decision, but it seems like if you grab a word but don't make it out the door, the word is not restored onto the map when the map resets, and the word is also not added to the list of words when you do finally reach the door in a following attempt?
Yes thats intentional ! If you take the risk of grabbing a word but don't get out of the room in time you'll loose this word on your next try. Otherwise it's a bit too easy and you can retry until you get the perfect path !
Seems like on level 2 I can reliably soft-lock the game by not entering a full 20 step sequence - character reaches end of the entered sequence and never resets. Also I notice the timer seems to stop at 1 second before the sequence starts running instead of 0 seconds like on level 1. Not sure if those things are related. Not going to play it any more to try isolating the bug, so hopefully that's enough info.
We are aware of this bug but we did not find time to fix it yet, it will be done as soon as possible !
The bug is fixed ! Feel free to play again if you like !
Ah, cool. I'll give it another shot. I did find the 15 second timer a little tight and frustrating for my taste, but I'll see how it feels when I know missing the timer won't lock the game. ;)
how do i start the game?
Hi ! Its a web game for PC so simply press "Run Game" then put it in full screen !
yes i get that part but i click on start then i get the instructions and then nothing more happens
Thats' weird... Didn't happen to my beta testers. I'll fix that as soon as possible
ok thank you!
Should be fix now, if you can't see the "Play" Button in the instructions menu try playing in full screen it might help.
