About 45 minutes in and this is clearly going to test my puzzling skills.

I am in a single room attic apartment, although the locked door suggests perhaps a bathroom as well, and puzzles abound. I have spent my time exploring the space and settling into things. I am not sure I have encountered everything I can at this stage, but it's time to focus on a puzzle or two and attempt to start unraveling things.

Which will require making connections. Various things are clearly clues; I just have to work out to what.

In 2020 the world went crazy for a while. New and Uncomfortable replaced the norm and this is the story of one thing that happened.

I know because the game starts by telling me.

It won't win any visual prizes but it is more than fine as a canvass for the goings-on. Which will clearly be about the puzzles, and through them presumably an escape from the room.

According to the maker, all the puzzles have a logical solution, and having poked about in a few I doubt you can force the answer. Which appeals to me; everything I need is here in this space, and my brain and intuition will be my best attributes.

I have acquired various items, placed a few, looked at quite a few more, and made notes. You move with the keyboard, WASD moving you in the relevant direction, Q and E turning you 90 degrees. It took me a short while to settle in, especially when I wondered could I look in a drawer. Take my advice and open the first drawer you find, and then use W to 'lift' yourself high enough to see inside. Right click the mouse to back out.

Speaking of which, the right click became my friend. Interaction can pull you in, but just right click to get back to your world view.

The hot spot icons are rather small, so I switched play to my PC rather than my laptop. They are still small, but more discernible. Check out How to Play from the menu for more detail on what they each do.

The keypad also e.g., opens your inventory, and the mouse interacts with the world. Hints exist, and having tested one puzzle they are very much nudges not solutions. Save at will.

I look forward to sharpening my pencil and my brain, and solving the attic.

PS: There are also cats. I look forward to finding a dog.

Thanks so much for the first look, flotsam! I know I found their first game, Finding Fifi, challenge my puzzling skill too so nice to see they are still giving a challenge!

Thank you, Drac!

Ana

Thanks flotsam (and Drac)! The game is on my wishlist but I have also started with Finding Fifi and am currently quite stuck.

Thank you for the first look, flotsam!

And thank you too, Drac.

Hi everyone. Thank you for giving my games a try. I REALLY appreciate it !

@flotsam & @Draclvr :

When you are in close up view of a puzzle or something that can be interacted with, there will be an icon on the top right of the game window. It will tell you whether you can rotate the camera up/down or left/right, or even zoom in/out.

Also, thank you for mentioning the size of the mcursor. On my screen it looked alright, but it is definitely something to take into account for the next game !

I also wanted to mention that I'm currently writing a walkthrough on Steam for when the puzzle or the clues in the help system just don't 'click' :
walkthrough - 1/x
I have a feeling this will keep me busy for most of the week ...

PS - But there -IS- a dog in the game ! I'm surprised you haven't seen it yet ...

@oldbroad :

To help you get unstuck :

>>> Just consider that this is a little puzzle game. Fast-forwarding through all the puzzles will basically mean fast-forwarding through the game ! =)

Thanks tpfc! I've been thinking I may need to seek help. I'll see how it goes one more time. I'm pretty sure I must be near the end.

Just completed my second puzzle and felt very satisfied with myself.
And of course there is a dog

I had to use the full walkthrough to finish Finding Fifi. There was a clue that I didn't see at all and it stopped being available so I never would have found it. (Buddha).

Oh ... have you found a bug ? Can you tell me what the problem was ?

=)

I'm just so curious : which ones ? (and congrats !)

Oldbroad, is Finding FiFi a part of And Eyes to See? I'm confused...

No, it's not Drac. I shouldn't have posted that here.

tpfc, I will post in the discussions board at Steam for Finding Fifi.

Ah, OK. I thought maybe it was a chapter or something like that. Good to know there are no bugs!

Drac, my bad for bringing up Finding Fifi first in this thread.

No, Ana. I think that was okay but I shouldn't have talked about a problem with it here. I just wasn't sure though if I posted at Steam, if my post would be seen there. I probably should have done a PM.
