   Argh. The positioning of the musical whatever-they-are figures seems to defy logic.

   Wow, very cool little game, as is no surprise with Robamimi. I had to resort to the onscreen Hint once to get me started, but it was pretty smooth sailing (and all logical…in spite of Sol’s comment) from there on out. Another quality Robamimi escape!

     You can always give me a hint on how to solve it *poke, poke*

       Okay, looked it up … and just played random stuff on the ocarina, but got out :O

   Walkthrough

   Exploring
   Show

   You start facing some closet doors that (naturally) won’t open. Turn right.

   What a strange lamp. Yellow, huh? And notice the curlicues on it. Turn right.

   There’s a chest of drawers with colored diamond-shaped knobs, all of which refuse to budge. On the shelf above it, there are pictures of that strange light bulb. Or are they? Notice the curlicues, and which way they’re facing. Also notice the screws on picture #2. Turn right.

   Another strange lamp, but this one refuses to turn on. Hmm, perhaps that’s because this blue ball comes loose? Turn right.

   Another shelf. There’s a red ball that’s much like the blue one, a box with four unlabeled buttons, and a box that says “Color Ball +”. If you open the latter, there’s a diamond-shaped knob, plus two diamond-shaped holes. We’ll come back to this later. Back out and turn right.

   Aha, another light bulb. This one turns on, and says it’s red. Make note of the curlicues, then turn right.

   There’s a strange orange machine with four knobs. Or rather, three knobs plus space for a fourth. There’s also a square yellow box with numbers in the corners and a round hole in the middle. Nothing we can do here yet, so turn right.

   And it’s the green light, with just one little curlicue. OK, we’ve seen all there is to see, on to solving some puzzles.

   Puzzling

   Show

   Well, we have two ball thingies, with square pegs coming out of them. I wonder if they fit in that “Color Ball +” box. Turn to it, and put in the balls. Hmm, it lit up in purple. What else in this room was purple and diamond-shaped? That’s right, the chest of drawers.

   Turn to the chest of drawers and get the little knob. “A part of something”, huh? Well, there was that machine with the missing knob… yup. Now, which way should these point? Remember picture #2? If not, go and look at it now, I’ll wait.

   (For the lazy, top left points north, top right northeast, bottom left northwest, bottom right southeast.)

   That should yield a yellow knob to match the red and blue one you already have. Well, except that they’re still in the combiner box. Turn to the box and replace one of the knobs already in there with the yellow knob, then go and get the item from the corresponding drawer. Repeat for the other combination and get that item, too.

   So you should now have a screwdriver from the orange drawer, and an arrow thingy from the green drawer. You can turn the arrow thingy around to notice that it has a round post. A round post goes into a round hole, does it not?

   Turn to the yellow box and put the arrow in the middle. Click the “map” button that appears to see a map of the room and the lights (the closet doors are shown to help orient you). The map also says “camera” in the middle, with arrows pointing at each lamp. Hmm, a camera takes pictures… where are there pictures in the room?

   That’s right, turn to the shelf above the chest of drawers. The picture labeled “1”, with what looks like the single-curlicue (i.e. green) lamp, is turned 45 degrees to the right of the camera. #2 (yellow) is looking right at the camera. #3 (red) is turned the same way as #1. #4 (the broken one) is turned 45 degrees to the left.

   One more thing, since we’re here: we now have a screwdriver, so unscrew the frame of picture #2 and get the photograph. You can turn it around to see a cryptic clue of some sort; we’ll come back to it later.

   Go back to the yellow box with the arrow. Notice that the numbers are now buttons. Press the #1 button, then turn the arrow a little. Now go look at the corresponding lamp (it’s the one just to the right of the box). It turned, didn’t it? OK, so time to make the lamps match the photos.

   #1 was turned a bit to the right of the camera, so click the arrow so it’s pointing straight east. #2 is looking straight on, so it doesn’t need to be turned (leave the arrow pointing southwest). #3 also needs to turn a little bit right, so point the arrow north. #4 is a bit to the left, so again, the arrow needs to point north.

   Open sesame! Let’s go explore the new room.

   Show

   Straight ahead, there’s a door with a musical note on it, but no handle in evidence. Turning right, there are some numbered buttons. Another right turn gives a view back into the previous room. And the fourth wall has a strange picture with a cord hanging next to it, and a green ball trapped in a table with a number pad on it.

   Well, intrepid room escapers that we are, a cord with a tassel is just inviting us to yank it, isn’t it? Ah, it’s the light switch! Hmm, numbers. Make note of them, then turn the lights back on.

   Let’s concentrate on that poor trapped green ball. It looks a lot like the green parts of all the lamps in the other room; perhaps it’s the missing part of lamp #4? In that case, maybe that photo we took out of its frame is a clue to solving this. Look at it and flip it around. In the bottom corner, there’s an open eye with an X above it, and a closed eye with a circle above it. OK, that’s a bit cryptic, but what it’s trying to say is, look at what you don’t see rather than what you do see. In other words, we want the inverse of the LCD digits: 7310. Put that into the keypad and collect the green ball.

   Go back to the main room and put the green ball where it belongs. Aack, a movie, and I missed the beginning! Don’t worry, you can replay it as many times as you need. The lights are giving you a clue: 42312.

   Go to the closet room and use the clue on the four numbered buttons. Hmm, a treasure chest! It has a keyhole and a pattern of curlicues. Translating the curlicues to numbers, it says 21342, or in colors, yellow-green-red-blue-yellow.

   So where are we going to get a key? There are two things we haven’t used yet: that box with the four unlabeled buttons (remember that?), and the picture on the opposite wall of the closet. Hmm, each square of the picture looks like a quadrant of the unlabeled box, doesn’t it? But if we try it the straightforward way (bottom left, top left, bottom left, top right, bottom right, top right), nothing happens. Instead, try it upside-down (I’m not sure if there’s a clue for this anywhere; I just tried each direction until one worked): top right, bottom right, top right, bottom left, top left, bottom left, then press the rectangular bar. Aha, a key!

   Go use the key to open the treasure chest and get the ocarina. Use the code from the front of the chest to play a tune: yellow-green-red-blue-yellow.

   Congratulations!
