They must have fixed the exit code. I tried the solution you first deduced (how actually?), and it works.

Oh, got it.

Look at the outside part of the figures. It shows a digit, rotated 4 times to go around the figure.

I know that probably didn’t make sense, but that’s the best way I can describe it.

Walkthrough:

For what seems like the 109th time, you’re wandering the streets of a town that could be anywhere. And you find an open door leading to a room with beige linen wallpaper. With your active spirit of adventure, how can you resist?

You step inside, and the door locks behind you. It’s time to embark on a search for keys, plates of disgusting food, puzzle boxes and, of course, a four-number door-lock combination.

Show

You look around, and are pleased that the landscape has changed significantly. There’s a metal plate screwed on to the door. You know you’ll need to find a screwdriver to remove that plate and reveal the combination lock.

There’s a pale spot on the middle of the wall, likely a hidden panel. And a similar spot on the ceiling above the door. You see a pulley on the ceiling with a rope, attached to a bucket with a colored design resting on the floor. You try and look closer, but can’t, for now. You’re unable to pull on the rope, or push a panel, or do much of anything.

Starting to get a bit frustrated, you look at a discarded paper on the floor. All it contains is an tiny red amoeba design on one page. You might have to find a crayon to fill in the rest of the design.

Show

You turn to the right, where you find a bed with an ornate iron frame. On the wall, over the bed, you see a picture frame. Looking closer at the frame, the panel is entirely blank. It could be a screen, or it could be a drawing board of some sort. Either way, there’s nothing you can do now.

You begin searching the bedding madly, because that’s what you always do in these adventures. But you find absolutely nothing. More frustration – here you are with a nice lumpy bedspread and some pillows – and not even a red key or an ancient Japanese weapon.

Under the bed, toward the left side, you find your blue-handled Screwdriver. It’s always the same screwdriver, too. You wonder why these people are always taking it away from you and hiding it every week. Perhaps 123Bee can appropriate the idea and create a thrice-weekly series of buggy games entitled, “The Hunt for the Blue-Handled Screwdriver.” Of course, in their case, the screwdriver would be found inside one of 65 identical red cabinets, each locked by a unique key and opened through extensive trial-and-error. Tedious. Anyway, yes, you have a screwdriver, and you will be able to unscrew the cover on the door combination lock a little later.

On the floor on the right side of the bed, you find a second pail, this time attached by a red string to the bed frame. It has a color pattern: red, blue, yellow, green. The handle is off-center, so if there ever were anything in the pail and you tried to carry it, it would spill all over the floor.

Show

You turn to the right and face a wall with a bookshelf and a bureau with locked drawers.

On the bottom shelf, you find a plate with a pair of Croquettes. They look and smell fairly safe, so you try to nibble on one. You take a quick bite, and… ouch! It’s like biting a rock. What the heck is a croquette, anyway?

Now, most of us think of croquette as a child’s game played with mallets and balls and wickets. More recently, the notable scene in the movie Heathers when one of the girls sent a rival’s ball sailing into the woods. Definitely symbolizing the relentless pursuit of dominance in popular teen culture.

And I’m not saying these croquettes are all about dominance. But the fact that someone has created a food that can not be penetrated through biting or through use of a sharp knife is truly remarkable. Maybe there’s something inside the hard fried roll, maybe it really is a rock. And isn’t that what life is all about? Tempting us with the promise of a delicious reward, but running smack into the hierarchy of a culture frought with anxiety and conflicting dreams.

Or sometimes a croquette is just a croquette. Albeit overcooked and potentially dangerous to your dental health.

You look behind the bookshelf on the left side and find the Blue Key. Hey! A blue key. Normally you find the red one first, so you wonder if you missed one in the bedding.

Show

You go back to the left and frantically search the bedding. Nothing. But you KNOW there’s a red key somewhere in here. Angry, you start looking everywhere, and, finally, you address the wall sconce over the picture frame. It’s a reach, but there’s your Red Key.

Show

Back to the right, you look under the bureau and find a paint brush stapled to the bottom of the bureau. You’ll need a pair of nippers, and you expect to find one in one of the drawers, along with more croquette bricks.

You open a drawer with the Red Key, and there are your Nippers, along with a second pair of Croquettes. Yay.

You open a drawer with the Blue Key, and you find Scissors and a third pair of Croquettes. Yay.

You go back under the bureau and use the Nippers to clip the staples and get a Brush. You expect the brush will be useful in finding what’s going on with that book near the front door. You try dipping it in croquette sauce, but even the sauce is fried harder than concrete on a blazing hot Sunday in July.

Show

You turn to the right and find a giant entertainment center next to a table. On the table, you see a grey tile puzzle box with an orange design. You’re not quite ready to solve it even though you’re hungry to see the yellow key invariably hidden within.

You grab a fourth plate of Croquettes from the entertainment center. Looking behind the entertainment center on the left side, you find a Magnifying Glass on the floor.

Show

You move to the right and pick up the book again. You use the Magnifying Glass on the orange amoeba and it becomes a drawing of a guinea pig with a cat’s head and a squirrel’s tail. Odd, but sure to be useful when solving the tile puzzle.

Show

Back to the left you go, and you quickly form the catpigsquirrel design with the tiles and take the Yellow Key hidden inside.

Show

You move to the left and open the drawer with the Yellow Key. You take the fifth and final plate of overly fried Croquettes and you see a measuring cup filled with black ink. You dip the Brush in the ink.

Show

You turn to the left and focus on the picture frame. Using the Brush, you paint on the screen. Like magic, you paint four designs. A bird, a rabbit head, a squirrel tail and a bow-and-arrow. Odd. Upside down, they look a little like letters – BGRY. Maybe that’s a color order – Blue, Green, Red, Yellow. Rather different from the order on the pail.

Speaking of which, there are pails to attend to. You look at the one attached to the bed frame, and use the Scissors to cut the red string. You can now pick up the Pail.

Show

You go back to the left, and hook the Pail on the end of the rope that’s up in the air. It’s heavier than the other pail, so it crashes to the ground. This reveals a button on the floor. You press the button, and the panel on the wall opens to reveal a screen.

You look closely at the screen. There are four balls on the bottom. Pressing the balls changes the colors. So you change them to reflect the color order from the magic painting (squint your eyes and the bunny head becomes a scenic bridge over a waterfall). And there are four colored designs on the screen.

The first thing you think to do is count the separate areas in each design. The blue design has only one, the green design has nine, the red design five and the yellow design five.

You go back to the door, use the Screwdriver to remove the plate, and try the combination 1955. That doesn’t work. You figured as much – the combination never repeats a number. NEVER. It can’t happen.

Show

You look back at the designs. The edges of the pattern look a lot like numbers. You can see the numbers 3890 traced on the edges of the blocks. You try that combination and hear a click.

You step back, open the door, and you’re free, ready to defend yourself against any new attack with your new croquette weapons. They make for excellent Japanese fighting stars – the crispy fried parts are very sharp.

MASTER OF WALKTHROUGHS
Porreta says:

September 21, 2009 at 3:39 am

Anemic, you’re walkthrough is so pity and useless!! A walkthrough MUSN’T be a novel!! Just instructions, i.e.: “GO LEFT”, “TAKE THE KEY”, LOOK UNDER THE BED” and so on!! you’re the MASTER OF USELESS WALKTHROUGHS!!!
Anonymouse says:

September 21, 2009 at 7:54 am

Anemic- I LOVE your walkthroughs, reading them is funner than playing the game!!
This one wasn’t too hard, except for the red key :)
dg says:

September 21, 2009 at 9:58 am

@Porreta: I think we all know what a technical WT looks like. The problem is that the recent escape games by parallelove are becoming more and more similar to each other. They have automated their games – everybody knows what to expect. They are not very interesting and they don’t need a WT.

Given that, Anemic has injected some FUN into these games and most players enjoy reading his WT. And one more point: nobody is forced to read anybody’s comments (least of all mine)…
Kayla says:

September 21, 2009 at 10:17 am

You know the season has changed when Parallelove says so. Hey Poretta, don’t be jealous that one: everybody else here can finish the game without a WT, and two: that you didn’t come up with the idea for funny walkthroughs yourself. You’re one of those people that doesn’t smile back when a stranger smiles at you, aren’t you?
Juli says:

September 21, 2009 at 1:32 pm

Just one comment on the brilliant (as usual) walkthrough: the game is croquet (only one ‘t’ and no ‘e’). A croquette is a food usually made of leftovers, such as mashed potatoes, made into small cakes or patties and fried.
Lady Lark says:

September 22, 2009 at 2:23 pm

Ah, Anemic, without you I would never play PL’s games. Now, I must play them in order to better enjoy your wonderful walkthroughs. The question is, are we encouraging them to continue their boring games? Sigh. It’s a double-edged sword!

@Porreta
i used to write walkthrough on standard way for Parallellove. first i think they really preserve the way they make their games, and it’s quite challenging and entertaining. but after you played perhaps 20 of their games, you become so bored, even before you play, you knew you have to find 4 digit scramble code to open the main door, solve the puzzle box to get yellow key, and search the other keys, which are always red and blue, and search for 5 food to get perfect clear. and it becomes so boring, that Anemic’s walkthrough is more entertaining than the game itself.

I can’t agree more, Porreta. The so-called walkthroughs by Anemic do nothing but slow down my game so I have less time for other games!
Danielle says:

I’M going to say I refuse to play Parallellove games unless the W.T. isn’t by Anemic.
