I was hosting The Unraveling puzzle trail on my personal site for a while, but it never worked right because I didn't have the wherewithal to fix the Flash file at the beginning. Today, I set it up so that it's properly hosted on its own domain name once more and is playable through to the end.

Enjoy. :)

I hope to get some of Dave's other sites up in the future.

As kona said, YAY! And thanks for letting us take a stroll down memory lane. I had a blast playing this game with everybody, but especially with grumpyboy and dashcat. They hemped me enjoy it sooooo much. :wink:

Well Done!

I knew you'd get there eventually!

Now we can send Sin away for his well deserved thera... er, rest.

The link's been made, the chain's been forged,
On my Roast Beast you're full engorged.
Please don't burst innards asunder, so
Near Time of Blitzen and Deer Thunder

Oh...

The voices
quiet
in myour mind.

Rejoice!
Rejoice oh
manunkind

My mind
alone
in solipsism
on edge
quite like a

preapism
Once was lost in
a labyrinth
of sin --

The cactus fraught with worms therein --
Echoes...

Tangles, ravels of my past
Torture chambers
first
and last
As Lenore-ish books,
sorrows surcease,
Now we -
no I -
can rest in

peace.

Thank you...

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's more than one way to arrange these cubes for a solution!

We had them arranged so that the top faces read: VIET

But TVEI also works to solve the Instant Insanity conditions!

And if they are arranged thusly, then the hidden faces on the inside spell out:

P IL AL R

The AL is backwards cause we had to fold the latent cube inside out to make it fit the layouts of the Instant Insanity puzzle. I suspect that Sin made his own cubes and that they had only one solution, but we took the easy way out and made them fit pictures of solutions that we'd found on the internet. In any case:

We turned for support: PILLAR.

Those letters, my friends, lead us here:

http://www.theunraveling.com/pillar.html

Which is where we skipped to.

The Unraveling is done.

UH is completely finished.

Thank you ALL, especially Catherwood.

And Sin?

I'm going to DEVOUR YOUR SOUL.

Well.. the word "pillar" can be taken from those letters, and that was the puzzle that we skipped to.

"where can I turn for support"

We turned the blocks and got letters that could spell "pillar": a support.

But it can't be that easy, can it? CAN IT INTTEROBANG

And in that case, what's with the extra DY?

*tears out his hair*

We're so CLOSE!

How about this:
If we take them in their solved position, then TURN the four cubes to reveal their HIDDEN faces (or facets), we get these 8 letters: I R L Y L D A P -- I've been trying to unscramble them, but nothing jumps out as signficant to me.

Iwe take but slight issue with what's been said,
But can be no further help - Mark Robinson's dead.

See, the white text around the grid is instructions. Follow along with them if you'd like.

First we find four words that are related to "hidden". There are indeed only four: "veiled", "buried", "latent", and "crypto".

Next we "bend, (etc). cube" them; ie. fold those word grids into cubes.

Then we line them up beside each other and make each side "unique"; ie. solve the Instant Insanity block puzzle.

We've got that far, and cath has made wonderful graphics to show our work here: http://catwood.leftbrained.org/ILB/insanity.htm

Any interpretations of the last bit of white text?

if this is not insanity, i we then
and yet I us by the facets of my our mind
where can weIwe turn for support?
this is hidden from ImeusWe ever still!
help...
