Nice!! I upgraded the guest bedroom so I get +2 every time I get to the antechamber (assuming I drafted the guest bedroom, which is pretty easy to do). I'm only up to 12 though..... I just got to 18 allowance.
I'm rich!
There's so many things I need to do still and I'm like, what the heck do I try to do next?!Nice!! I upgraded the guest bedroom so I get +2 every time I get to the antechamber (assuming I drafted the guest bedroom, which is pretty easy to do). I'm only up to 12 though.
I wanna get it up really high so I can buy out the showroom. Yeah there's a trophy for it, but it also simply be fun.
I also need to buy all the books in the bookshop next time I see it. I need ALL the books!!
Grr, I had a sledge hammer but couldn't use it on that wall. At least try, my boy!! I feel like I could break a brick wall with a sledge hammer and I have almost no upper body strength. How hard could it be?? (Disclaimer: I have never tried such a thing so maybe it's actually really difficult.)one weird looking wall in the basement
From what I think the solution is, you're 1/3rd of the way there. That's as much as I'll say.Grr, I had a sledge hammer but couldn't use it on that wall. At least try, my boy!!

(Disclaimer: I have never tried such a thing so maybe it's actually really difficult.)
I mean, from the south side, you can see steps going pretty far down, so I'm sure there's something there!I got the boiler room to power the lab through pure luck. I've yet to get it anywhere near the pump room though. I'm thinking to get the blessing that helps you get dice, then not building the pump room until I get a boiler room, then roll dice until I get that or a passageway (it has ducts and lots of doors). I really want to drain that reservoir!! (Will it do any good? Who knows.)
No clue about that. The watering can thing sounds plausible. I'll keep that in mind.Has anybody found that putting water in the kitchen does anything helpful? I could turn on the faucet but is that of any use? I feel like you should be able to refill the watering can from it, but you can't fill it from any other water source I've found, so it seems unlikely.
Less than 30 mins? I'm on day 26 and I've played 11.6h. Sometimes things work and/or I run into a roadblock I can't work through.What's your average run time? Mine says about 70 minutes, but I like to fuck around a lot.
Just did this. It works! More gems yay!I feel like you should be able to refill the watering can from it
I've gotten close but it's honestly absurd. What I find very fascinating is that the room pool seems very similar each day, I feel like there's more to it than RNG but I can't figure it out. I think the game gives a way to do it every Day 1, but it randomizes which way it is.I've been thinking about how to approach that, but it's tough for sure. I feel like you need at least one rare room which will take dozens of runs to get. Not having the extra steps would really suck too, but you might get lucky enough to get around that one.
Curse mode you got to anger the gods (I only know since I just got cursed lol). No menu for them, though I haven't bought the dare one, so I don't know how that works.
The showroom is tricky because none of the pieces are permanent upgrades, though the Coat Check can be handy for keeping one. There's more than one way to get hundreds of gold at once.I wanna get it up really high so I can buy out the showroom. Yeah there's a trophy for it, but it also simply be fun.
The books are honestly one of the most useful pieces of information I have.I also need to buy all the books in the bookshop next time I see it. I need ALL the books!!
Good luck, I didn't get that until like Day 60.I'm attempting to get the boiler and pump rooms to align.
Do not forget to locate the new location it unlocked!I got the boiler room to power the lab through pure luck.
I have no idea what mine is. I've had a lot of runs go dead early from experimentation and particular objectives I was aiming for that wasn't Room 46. In the early stages it was likely an hour per run. Now it's probably 20-30 minutes but I'm in late late game.What's your average run time? Mine says about 70 minutes, but I like to fuck around a lot.
I did end up seeing another cursed thing during my run, but I lacked the funds to grab it... welp. Maybe it's that?So curse mode and being cursed is actually different. Curse mode is so much worse. But now that you've been cursed, you've unlocked it.
I've almost had it twice now! Both times I had 0 gems so I was screwed. Bah!Good luck, I didn't get that until like Day 60.
I don't know off hand but I've definitely got a little too dead-end happy and have had a couple runs where I didn't even get to Rank 3.Btw, what is the worst/shortest day y'all have had? Mine ended up being, truly accidentally, only 7 rooms. So that's me drafting only 4 rooms in total.
I had a few early runs that ended with less than a dozen rooms. Funnily enough, one of my best runs was when I figured out how to get the combo for the apple orchard lock and made getting everything together I needed to do that my only goal for that run. I ended up accomplishing it pretty quickly so I just fucked around for the rest of it. I ended up with all but two spots with rooms, like 200 gold, a dozen keys, nearly every item in the game, 300+ total steps, and opened the antechamber. It was just ridiculous.Btw, what is the worst/shortest day y'all have had? Mine ended up being, truly accidentally, only 7 rooms. So that's me drafting only 4 rooms in total.
The WHAT?!Well. I've been hit by the save game bug
There's a bug that seems to impact people who have gotten to a certain point. Basically while you have the game open, it looks like it's saving. But then when you close the game and boot it up, it didn't actually save. If your save is impacted, it hits all profiles on the file. Seems to impact PS5 only. Trigger is unknown but it tends to happen to people beyond Day 100.The WHAT?!
Does this mean you know what you're doing and how to solve it, you just need to solve it?I missed 1 room (again) from finishing the chess puzzle.
The plus part is if you used the reserve tank, all you need to do things later is the Pump Room.I did all the reservoir and boiler room stuff, only to forget to bring the boat over.....
Curious what you'll think of this one, I really enjoyed it.dare mode.
I'm actually not a fan as it's hurt me more than once. I'm a fan of the blessing of the monk myself.The berry blessing is amazing btw.
Yes. I've gotten 1 piece away before. Amusingly the first time I found it I was just the king away. Since then, it's been either the king or queen that I was missing any time I remembered to figure out stuff.Does this mean you know what you're doing and how to solve it, you just need to solve it?
This was one of my favourite earlier puzzles.
Yup. I'm good for the next time whenever I draft it. I can then go check out what I find nextThe plus part is if you used the reserve tank, all you need to do things later is the Pump Room.
I found it very useful to use for the Darkroom and when I'm short on gems for something. And for dead ends. You tend to get rare or unusual rooms from it. I actually tried it the first time on my outdoor one and got the drafting room for the easiest new room unlock!I'm actually not a fan as it's hurt me more than once. I'm a fan of the blessing of the monk myself.
Will let you know when I get to it! Currently just trying to tie some of the loose ends I mentioned.Curious what you'll think of this one, I really enjoyed it.
Ooo, I bought that but haven't checked it out yet. I'm intrigued!Oh no.
Oh no......
I got the "New Clue" book. I was just reading it and... Holy crap does this game keep on giving. I don't understand a lot of it yet, but what I can tell is already blowing my mind.
So while I understand the desire to pass on the Darkroom, it's actually a very valuable room that's been crucial to my close calls for my Day 1 run. Food for thought.I found it very useful to use for the Darkroom
Oh, my favourite book.Oh no.

What, it does?! I guess because it's usually dark, I never noticed...So while I understand the desire to pass on the Darkroom, it's actually a very valuable room that's been crucial to my close calls for my Day 1 run. Food for thought.
Why?

I tend to pick it most of the time if I get it. Early on, especially within the first few ranks, it rarely matters if you place an awkward room down. I just think of it as extra doors!What, it does?! I guess because it's usually dark, I never noticed...
This is what I thought you meant by at least three things with this room and now I'm lost!?Spoiler: Lavatory
It took me forever to get this combination. Especially because the Freezer seems to be relatively uncommon.Spoiler: Freezer
Studio, I assume?Spoiler: Drafting Room
Yeah it's in the studio. I noticed it but it took me a few times to realize it was for that particular day. It saved me at least once after I did though!Studio, I assume?
I never noticed this, but not sure if I ever even had those two rooms at the same time.
Me too? I mentioned three things about the freezer, not lavatory. I haven't had my coffee yet so maybe my brain isn't computing properly.This is what I thought you meant by at least three things with this room and now I'm lost!?
Yeaaaa. I was waiting for it forever too. I almost waited until I had a dead end constellation before trying it, but I got lucky on a random day.It took me forever to get this combination. Especially because the Freezer seems to be relatively uncommon.
Ah yea, studio. They're all rooms okay?!Studio, I assume?
I never noticed this, but not sure if I ever even had those two rooms at the same time.
Me too? I mentioned three things about the freezer, not lavatory. I haven't had my coffee yet so maybe my brain isn't computing properly.
This is what's got me? Though I said Lavoratory apparently so maybe you thought I meant the Lab and not the Lavatory which feels like a reasonable conclusion here!?There's at least 3 things in the room that are related to things. Two of them are obvious. The third one I started to uncover, but couldn't do anything with. Though I got an idea. Probably related to one of the others. Would make sense.
Mm yes these rooms are so filled with secrets!? Speaking of the the Studio, I assume you have uncovered that there is a safe, yes?I think it does say it there too in the studio, but after going to the room a few times already I never actually made the connection. I thought it was just a neat scale model to make the room seem neat. But then again, nothing in this game should be taken for granted, especially at first glance.
Wait are you saying you triggered the cutscene by accident and found the secret item?case in point, the clock tower. Obvious now, but I got lucky with it on accident.
I kept notes for some things where I'd write down the room name and day, then I'd go back to look at something and realize I wrote a room I never drafted that day. "I wrote hallway but there are none. Maybe I meant corridor...?" "There isn't even a room called storage, gotta be storeroom, right??" And I'd write it while looking at the screen, which says the room name!Ah yea, studio. They're all rooms okay?!![]()
Ahhh I knew there had to be one in there but I have literally no idea how to find it.Mm yes these rooms are so filled with secrets!? Speaking of the the Studio, I assume you have uncovered that there is (spoiler)?
It's easily the trickiest safe (that I've discovered).Ahhh I knew there had to be one in there but I have literally no idea how to find it.
We all got confused! Yay!This is what's got me? Though I said Lavoratory apparently so maybe you thought I meant the Lab and not the Lavatory which feels like a reasonable conclusion here!?
Yes, I found it at some point fairly early on. Now that I understand how to uncover the combinations, I should be able to crack it when I get the room again.Mm yes these rooms are so filled with secrets!? Speaking of the the Studio, I assume you have uncovered that there is a safe, yes?
YEAH! Which was extra confusing at first as I was right next to the pendulum on my way down from the top, so I thought maybe poor Simon was about to get crushed by the thing or something. It was a whole lot of confusion for a brief moment.Wait are you saying you triggered the cutscene by accident and found the secret item?
'Cause if so, that's hilarious.
I got 6 currently. The studio safe should have my 7th. I think the fortune teller lad said once that you'll never find the 8th letter, though from what I've uncovered there's an extra one? And I believe I've gotten the extra. A weird little twist.Though on the topic of the safes, I still only found 7 red letters and had yet to locate #8.
YEAH! Which was extra confusing at first as I was right next to the pendulum on my way down from the top, so I thought maybe poor Simon was about to get crushed by the thing or something. It was a whole lot of confusion for a brief moment.
I liked the next puzzle there. Very fun.
Oooh I don't recall that bit from the fortune teller but he throws a lot at you.I got 6 currently. The studio safe should have my 7th.

I hear you. For what it's worth, you're definitely not a moron and this is a certain type of game. It'll be easier to pick up if you have lots of experience with puzzle games but even then, it takes some time to figure out what the hell is going on. My notebook is 20+ pages of gibberish that apparently makes me sound like a serial killer so.This game is making me feel like a moron.
5 I think? I somehow potentially missed getting one couple steps after the gallery. Maybe I needed one more room after that, but it was my last room of the day so I just completed that. Another thing to try to remember to do again lol.How many of those secret items do you have now?
No idea. Like, he mentions someone coming into the house, knocking the pretty bird statues down at the entrance and leaving one of the side gates open. I'm at day 60 or so and that hasn't happened. The thing about white sands came true I guess as I found the place. Then other random things I don't remember anymore lol.Oooh I don't recall that bit from the fortune teller but he throws a lot at you.
Now is that the truth or a challenge?

That said, if you're looking for some pointers I'm sure the group here will help you out. I'll also be the first to admit that despite my obsession with it, it's not for everyone.

This one is a doozy to pull off. I guess that's why they're calling it the sweepstakes.Spoiler: Dead Ends thing I learned
You're missing the Closed Exhibit? Interesting - all I'll say is perhaps there's something you missed at one of the things you already did.From the few things you mentioned @TD I'm missing I think 3 more rooms, including the closed exhibit.
One of those things you said is related to the thing I meant.Spoiler: Orchard
I need to go back to the tomb as I found an upgrade disk there, but in my haste to attempt to do things I forgot to use it lmao. I also learned other things in the tomb.
Oh, I have many trophies now! I'm at 7 now. Room 46, full house, darts, parlor, the 8, all contraptions, and bought the showroom. I'm trying to figure out which thing to do for the 8th trophy. The classroom seems the most obtainable with some RNG luck. But idk.
Not sure if it helps but that was a lot of my experience in the early stages too? At some point it just clicked but I'm sure there's plenty I've missed too.I think part of it is I am just not seeing what the puzzles even are.
Like the ones I've noticed, I've been able to figure out. But like I just can't tell what actually is one
I got one of the three things from there. I swear I had clicked those things at least three times previously, but no. Guess I was missing the thing for them each time.Any developments on that front yet?
..... so a funny thing. I never finished reading the thing where you get it from for some reason. I had gone back to reading all previous things for clues and got it now. I feel dumb lol.You're missing the Closed Exhibit? Interesting - all I'll say is perhaps there's something you missed at one of the things you already did.
That was also my experience. So many times I'd think, "this is OBVIOUSLY a clue, but to what??" However, the game will generally give you several different hints for the same puzzle, so sometimes you just need to keep playing to get enough pieces to make sense of them.I think part of it is I am just not seeing what the puzzles even are.
Like the ones I've noticed, I've been able to figure out. But like I just can't tell what actually is one
I made a comment to my girlfriend that the trope of an unhinged notebook left behind by somebody trying to decipher a mystery now made perfect sense to me, since my own notebook looks just like that. She agreed that she'd noticed that, and I'm still not sure if she meant her notebook also looks like it was written by a serial killer, or if she peeked at mine and agrees with my assessment of it.My notebook is 20+ pages of gibberish that apparently makes me sound like a serial killer so.
