Confined

Categories: Flash, Free, Games, Online, Room Escape, Walkthrough

Confined is a new Japanese Room Escape game from FonGeBoon, the author of Purism and Ambivalence.

Confined is a classical Room Escape game: you are trapped in a room, the door is locked. Look closely everywhere, search for clues and items and eventually escape the room!

A save button is available to save your progress at anytime and there is no language in this game. Kudos to FoGeBoon for making what appears to be a really good game.

Have fun!

   Turn on heater in darkened room, then apply the picture and the cup to the hot tap

   March 10, 2008 at 9:00 am

   Thanks Moose, I missed this one ;-)
   But I still can’t get out of the dark room…

6. FDC says:

   March 10, 2008 at 9:00 am

   That is odd I guess Show

   9160

   just creates a door with a big red X. The Ns must equal 5 since there are two and we seem to know that P=8 and 4=A and F=7. What’s the hold up?

7. nicolasmacs says:

   March 10, 2008 at 9:00 am

   with drop= pain we have a code:
   Show

   9160

8. NetMonster says:

   March 10, 2008 at 9:00 am

   What happens when you [spoiler]plug in the device in the dark room?[spoiler]

   @NetMonster:

   Foe the A=
   Show

   If you pug in the water heater and move the tap handle, you get steam. Hold the picter in front of it and A= shows up by the clock.

10. nicolasmacs says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:02 am

    and with this code: a red cross…
    i desespered

11. Moose says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:03 am

    nic, i cant see under the clock either even with it saying 4 o’clock

12. NetMonster says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:04 am

    Moose: Show

    I did, and all I got was a blue arrow on the picture. Actually, I think that was cold water, but I can’t find the valve for the other one. I can’t take the black valve next to the skull o.O

13. Gooffy says:

    you get hot water, with steam ;-)

    March 10, 2008 at 9:06 am

    NetMonster:
    valve Show

    there is a toolbox on the shelf with a wrench/spanner in it. you can then move the tap from one valve to the next

15. otacsaf says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:07 am

    hmmm… my destiny, is to remain in the dark room. Have a nice day all!

16. ingeuk says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:07 am

    Use the spanner to get the valve from the cold and put it on the hot.
    I used the same code as you,Nicolasmacs, got the red X, too. Dont know what to do next. Does anyone know where and how to use the clue with the red and white squares in the blue book??

17. NetMonster says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:09 am

    Thanks everyone, that worked :)

18. NetMonster says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:10 am

    Where do we get the value of star?

19. Moose says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:10 am

    monster Show

    use the spanner on the valve and put on other tap.

20. tusa says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:16 am

    If you use the code given previous and get the door with the red x, you can get the first door/room back by putting the the first code to open the door to the dark room.

21. nicolasmacs says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:19 am

    so what i must do?
    still red cross

22. nicolasmacs says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:21 am

    and How to see under the clock?
    i already click so many time on it !!!

23. tusa says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:21 am

    nic:
    Show

    the first code to get the dark room is 5941. Use that and you should get that room back.

24. NetMonster says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:25 am

    I think that to be able to look under the clock you have to have seen the blue arrow:

    Show

    Put picture under cold water.

25. tusa says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:27 am

    Thanks NetMonster! :)

26. nicolasmacs says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:35 am

    it’s ok
    so now i all the clues…
    but each time i put the final code… red cross
    i restart with the first code
    and do it again… red cross !!!

27. Steve says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:36 am

    Got it Show

    – use numbers to spell open. from FUN + PAIN = LOVE

28. NetMonster says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:37 am

    Of the clues on the blue book, the first one seems useless (we already knew that P does not equal 0)…

29. nicolasmacs says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:39 am

    maybe there is other code?
    someone find it?

30. Steve says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:42 am

    CODE To Get out: Show

    1805 o=1, p=8, e=0,n=5

31. tusa says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:44 am

    I think the red squares in the book:
    Show

    Must be just to show how to set up the equation:
    P A I N
    8 4 _ _
    {} F U N
    {} 7 _ _
    _____________
    L O V E

    Then put in the numbers like everyone has said (2 Ns so that is 5, etc.)
    to get 9160.

32. nicolasmacs says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:47 am

    but this code don’t work…

33. nicolasmacs says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:48 am

    but something is strange,
    why we can change the place to the blue “chair” in front of office???

34. tusa says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:50 am

    any idea why the blue stool moves?

35. tusa says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:53 am

    There appears to be empty spaces on the inventory also, although this doesn’t always mean anything in escape games.

36. NetMonster says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:54 am

    I have an insane idea: Show

    Under the desk is what looks like a small table lamp. Maybe if we find a way to cover or turn off the big one, the little lamp will project something on the stool.

37. tusa says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:58 am

    NetMonster:
    Show

    That owl/lamp thing isn’t in the picture and neither is the book, so maybe your on to something.

38. tusa says:

    March 10, 2008 at 10:07 am

    I gotta go, I’ll have to try again later.
    Thanks for the help all.

44. shaz says:

    March 10, 2008 at 1:59 pm

    found a walk through will help me and any body else thats stuck

    Walkthrough:

    Show

    -Open side table drawer and get the tape.
    -Turn right and shake the right side couch pillow until you see something shiny fall. Get the silver key.
    -Open the brown cabinet in the all and move the numbers until you get the paper piece (1).
    -Go right twice and click the top of the desk. Click through the papers and get the paper piece (2). Get the paperclip. Also get the cup from the desk top. View the cup and click the bottom. Note the number “8”.
    -Click the blue book and note the P ≠. Continue through the book and get the handle.
    -Right again and click the wall panel. Attach the handle. Open it up and get the screwdriver. Note the red pencil is out of reach.
    -With the wall panel still open, click the door and get the paper piece (3).
    -Use the tape on the paper pieces to get a completed maze paper. Follow the path from S to G and use the code 5941 on the keypad next to the door.
    -Enter the room and the door closes. Click the bottom shelf near the skull and get the flashlight. Turn it on.
    -Use the silver key on the orange toolbox on the shelf and get the wrench.
    -Click the picture frame and get the picture.
    -Go right. Click just under the white box on the wall. Use the screwdriver to open the small panel. Plug it the cord.
    -Turn on the faucet and run the picture under the cold water. Note the arrow that appears on the photo.
    -Now remove the faucet wheel with the wrench and place it on the left faucet. Turn on the hot water and place the picture under the water. Note that A=4.
    -Fill the cup with hot water. Note the letter and recall the number at the bottom. Now you know that P=8.
    -Look to the right of the sink and note the panel on the wall. Click clicking it until you see something shiny. Get the gold key. Click inside the panel itself. Now view your screwdriver and extend it into a telescoping screwdriver. Push the panel back.
    -Zoom out and take a look at the tiles on the front of the sink. Go to the third column from the left, second black tile down. Click it and get the black tile.
    -Turn right and click the panel to the right of the door. Insert the gold key to activate it. Now the fun begins.
    -Complete the moving slider puzzle. The best hint is to find out which tiles are the “border” tiles and work from there. When you are done, use the black tile in your inventory and slide it in. Now the door is open. Thank god for light!
    -Remember from the picture the arrow pointing under the clock. Click under the clock and note the small hole. View your paperclip and click it to open it up.
    -Insert it in the small hole until you see a paper roll out. Zoom out and note that the water drop = PAIN.
    -Turn back towards the couch and lift the right pillow. Click the right side of the left pillow and note that star = FUN.
    -Open the panel above the couch. Click the small square boxes so that the top one reads “FUN”, the second one reads “PAIN”, and the bottom one reads “LOVE”.
    -You already know that P = 8 and A = 4. From the given numbers you can deduce that N = 5. Then you will find that FUN = 725, PAIN = 8435, LOVE = 9160.
    -Find the numbers that correspond to the word OPEN = 1805 and enter that into the keypad. The door will open a new door and you’re out!

    (You can also try typing in the code for LOVE, but that will just create a door with a red X)

    Edit: Kudos to Diana…

    Walkthrough with lots o’ spoiler tags (to give hints rather than the full solution right off). Unfortunately, it’s apparently impossible to nest spoiler tags, so please excuse the lists of “show”…

    1. Show

    Get tape from drawer.

    Notice safe sans handle, and door with numeric code lock. Turn right.

    2. Show

    Get maze piece from cupboard

    Show

    (underneath “magnets”).

    Notice Show

    that you can spell things (tediously) and the 3×4 arrangement. Also notice that you have 11 digits, with two of #5 and one of everything else.

    3. Show

    Move right-hand cushion up and down several times until you see the flash of something falling from it.

    Show

    Pick it up; it’s a weird silver key.

    Show

    Click at the left side of the space under the lifted cushion to see a clue on the edge of the other cushion:

    Show

    star = FUN.

    4. Turn right. Notice clue: Show

    LOVE = star + drop.

    You can move the footstool around, but it doesn’t seem to do anything. Turn right.

    5. Get: Show

    cup

    Show

    (click “about” and then bottom to see the number 8)

    Show

    maze piece, paperclip

    Show

    (click “about” and then on outside end to straighten it)

    From book, get Show

    the handle

    and some clues: Show

    P isn’t 0, and a 3×4 pattern of squares (what does that remind you of?).

    Notice Show

    there’s one page with a squarish hole in it.

    6. Turn right, back to first wall. Apply Show

    handle to safe;

    get Show

    screwdriver and last maze piece

    Show

    (from the back of the door).

    Examine Show

    screwdriver; click the bottom until you get it extended.

    Show

    Notice that you still can’t quite reach the pencil.

    Show

    Examine maze pieces and apply tape.

    Show

    Solve maze to get code:

    Show

    5941.

    7. Enter code in door pad to Show

    open the door to a dark room. Enter, and the door locks behind you.

    Show

    Click on and around the vaguely-seen shelf unit until you get a flashlight. Examine it and turn it on.

    Get Show

    a picture of the room you came from,

    and use the Show

    silver key to open the box and get a wrench. (If you didn’t get the key [from the couch cushion], don’t worry — you’ll be able to come back and use it later.)

    8. Go right. Use the Show

    screwdriver on the bottom of the water heater (up on the wall) to get the power cord. Plug it in.

    Show

    Click the black tiles on the mosaic-y wall until you get one of them. You’ll need it in a bit to get back to the better-lit room.

    9. Apply Show

    cold water to the picture to get a clue:

    Show

    a blue arrow pointing at the clock.

    (This step is necessary for a later step to work.) Use the Show

    wrench to switch the faucet handle and get hot water. Use hot water on the

    Show

    picture to get another clue:

    Show

    A = 4 (o’clock).

    Show

    Use hot water on the cup to get another clue:

    Show

    a letter P.

    Combine this with the clue from the bottom of the cup to get Show

    P = 8.

    10. Click the Show

    wall to the right of the sink several times until you see

    Show

    a glint and can get a gold key.

    Show

    Click again until you’re looking into the safe; use the

    Show

    extended screwdriver to push the back wall back.

    (Now you’ll be able to get the pencil, once you’re back in the other room.)

    11. Turn right. Use the Show

    key on the puzzle thingy by the door to activate it. Solve the sliding puzzle. (Yeah, easier said than done.)

    Show

    The balls bounce off the edges, and you don’t have a top right corner piece. Once the balls are bouncing in a logical fashion inside the box, use the

    Show

    black tile you picked up earlier to complete the puzzle and unlock the door.

    Show

    (Put it in the slot off to the side, then slide it into place.)

    12. Back in Show

    the well-lit room, turn right and click underneath the clock. Use the

    Show

    straightened paperclip in the little hole to extend a clue-banner below the clock:

    Show

    drop = PAIN.

    (Note that this step doesn’t work unless you’ve Show

    applied cold water to the picture to get the blue arrow clue.)

    13. Turn right and Show

    open the safe to get the (now easy to reach) pencil. Use it

    Show

    on the maze to shade in the path that got you the pencil (eventually).

    Turn left, and use Show

    the book page with the hole plus the maze to reveal one last clue:

    Show

    F = 7.

    14. Now go to the cupboard. Use the Show

    3×4 arrangement clue to figure out how to arrange the words you have:

    Show

    put PAIN in the top row, then FUN right-aligned (blank-F-U-N), then LOVE. (I’m not sure what this says about the author’s, um, bedroom preferences, but nevermind.) Fill in the digits you know, using the magnets:

    Show

    P is 8, A is 4, and F is 7.

    Notice that Show

    N has to be 5, because that’s the only digit you have twice. This means that E is 0 (5 plus 5 is 10).

    Show

    A plus F is 11, so L is 9 and O is probably 1 — there aren’t any numbers left for the tens column that are big enough to carry to the hundreds. (Well, OK, so 6+3+1 [carried from the ones] is 10, but you’d need another zero then for the V.)

    Turns out there are two possibilities Show

    (I and U can be switched between 2 and 3),

    but LOVE Show

    =9160 either way.

    15. You can go try that on the door pad, Show

    but it turns out that LOVE doesn’t conquer in this game: you get a doorway with a big red X in it. So the code must be something else.

    Hints: Show

    what do you want the door to do?

    Show

    How many digits does the door pad have?

    What you want Show

    is for the door to OPEN already! Well, according to the code in the cupboard,

    Show

    OPEN=1805.

    Try it…

    The escape code doesn’t work if you put it in before your “game self” has acquired all the clues, by the way.

    im out,tile puzzle got me for abit

47. J says:

    March 10, 2008 at 6:00 pm

    Huh. This time when I started the game, I got three options for difficulty. I chose ‘hard’, which Show

    rendered the cup on the desk stationary, and the clue in the book not nearly so redundant. I don’t know if the addition puzzle is solvable if all you know is A, F, and N (and that P isn’t 0); I wimped out after a bit.

48. Joe says:

    March 10, 2008 at 6:50 pm

    Why can’t I take the cup? I tried so many times, but still can’t take it or even move it.

49. renchan says:

    March 10, 2008 at 9:38 pm

    how do you extend the screwdriver? cuz i clicked the bottom a lot of times and it didn’t extend…

50. X says:

    March 10, 2008 at 11:13 pm

    That is the most asinine room escape game ever. That ball bouncing around thing? There are good puzzles, there are bad puzzles, but that’s just atrocious. I know exactly what to do but cannot because the faces keep changing. If I could mark something on the faces, that would be fine. But don’t ask me to remember nine constantly-shifting squares.
