Posttraumatism

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

Posttraumatism is a new Room Escape game designed by Carl Herdenberg.

“You wake up in a room, unaware of time or place…”

Posttraumatism was released two days ago and hosted at first on a very – VERY – slow server: that’s the main reason why I didn’t post the game on FGN.

Luckily for us, the game is now also hosted on a much faster mirror server, and it takes only a few minutes to load: hopefully you guys like this one!

Have fun!

   I would like to thank Martin for the indespensible hints, without which I’d never have finished the game.

   That being said, I agree that the end is somewhat… lame…

   Walkthrough
   1. Show

   When you check the bucket, you’ll see a key inside, but we’ll get to that later. Zoom on the chest, click on the left side beside it, you’ll get a note “To Sonya” from Tyle. On its other side there are instructions on how to make a boat. Zoom out. You’re able to look up, but you can’t do anything there yet, so go right.

   2. Show

   Click the left side of the shelf under the window, then click the upper left side of the shadow, get the knife. Go right.

   3. Show

   Click the boxes, click the shadow on the left, take the note “To Sonya” from Anna. Move left, click the upper box, use the razor on the bottom right corner, take the file. Move back, go to bottom box, check out the book and the note. You can break the vase, but nothing comes out of it. Go right.

   4. Show

   Click the blood in front of the door, go right, there is something red under the door. It’s a magnet. Use the file to get it. Go right.

   5. Show

   Read the diary on the table, something will drop out. Go under the table, you’ll find a pencil behind the far left leg. Double-click the pencil and use the razor to sharpen it. Move back. I that same view (with the table on your left) you’ll see a smudge on the wall, click on it and use the razor. Remember the instructions on how to make a boat? Let’s make a boat: double-click the piece of wallpaper, and click once to face the white side, now click once in the lower right part of it. Now click the top right corner, then top left corner and now, bottom left corner. Voila – we have boat!

   6. Show

   Now let’s get the key out of the bucket. Take the magnet and stick it to the bottom of the bucket. You’ll also get a view of the movement of the key. Drag the magnet (holding the left click) towards the top of the bucket. When you see a line “I think I can reach it now!”, leave the magnet and take the key. Zoom out.
   7. [spoiler] While in that view, click the left corner of the carpet, use the razor (not too close to the wall), then use the file on the grid. Put the boat inside and click on it to get it moving. It will come back. Take it and use the pencil on it. Put it back, click on it. It will bring a screwdriver. Zoom out, go right (to face the wall with the chest).

   8. Show

   Zoom in on the chest, use the key on it. You’ll get a newspaper article and a doll’s head. Turn it and take the key from the hole. Zoom out from the chest. Look up.

   9. Show

   Use the screwdriver on the light. You try the new key but it doesn’t fit. Put it into the doll head’s hole to smudge some ashes on it. Put the key into the key hole again and now you have an imprint of the lock. Now examine the key and use the file on it. Go up.

   10. Show

   There is a plastic sheet on the right part of the ladder, take it. Go right, you’ll find the last note. We’ll get to the wheels soon enough. Now go down, go to the bottom box, open the book and double-click the plastic sheet. It doesn’t make sense now, but if you move it a little to the left (or, a little further, as Taylor says), you get the letters E,N,E,W (east, north, east, west – I would do it differently but hey…), which are the instructions for the wheels. Climb up the ladder and go right.

   11. Show

   There are arrows on the wheels. Use the instructions, but in this case (as in other games also) the west is to your left and the east is to your right. So, ENEW is right, up, right, left. Pull the lever down.

   Yeah, you’re out. Sweet dreams.

   Irid, Thx but there’s no need to thank me. Like I said in #40, I needed plenty of help in this one myself and don’t forget Lala too! :-)

   Thank you Martin. Show

   I’m ashamed to say that I have used your comments for many previous games and never thanked you. I would usually play the game days after it was posted and I didn’t think anybody reads the comments after the game was finished, so I never made one :(

   lol Lala Show

   You are probably talking about the other Martin that posts here. He is the smart one…I added the :D so I didn’t ruin his reputation

   Martin :D, Show

   maybe you’re right, maybe you’re not ;)

   Has anyone found a way to turn the *&%$D#[email protected] “music” OFF?

   I’d try with the volume turned all the way down, but then I wouldn’t get sound effects, and the note below the game window implies that I might need them. Is it lying?

8. FD says:

   September 3, 2008 at 9:54 am

   That is odd. Turned the wheels, pulled the lever and the game window went black. The border and ads are still there. Clicked everywhere in the black and waited 5 minutes now…….Does a movie play or something?

   FD,

   Probably it froze. It happened to me too. I had to restart :(

    @ J: The sound is only “needed” once,
    Show

    that’s when you look at the corner of the carpet and hear water running. That’s to make you think there might be a drain under it (I didn’t get it though ;) )

    But you might just as well turn your speaker off and get the right idea without the sound effects, too.

    Weird ending. Still don’t fully get what the author wants to tell us.

    same with me. but I didn’t want to start again – getting the
    Show

    *$?#! key

    was too annoying…..
    can anyone please tell me what happens at the end?

    In the end, you go up to the next floor and find Show

    somebody – the brother or sister? – dead. S/he’d hung him/herself. If it’s the brother, I assume whatever he’d done in the military became too much for him and the wait for his sister was too long. Or he found out that his sister was killed already. If it’s the sister, maybe she gave up on finding her brother ’cause it sounds like she was going crazy. Or maybe she found out that he got killed.

    Either way, I have no desire to repeat this just to get a closer look; it was a very short view.

    thx – great ending! maybe I’ll give it another try later.

    Bob:
    Show

    Move the plastic sheet such that the short dash on the top line covers the word “to”. It should make more sense then.
