Swans Room

Hi everybody,

i searched the forums, but i did not find anything about this. Trout me if there was a post/thread on this, but there is a "short" flash adventure called "Swans Room". Now it's your turn. Try to escape...

Greets,
PatRol

I really like the 3d perspective. There are often things hidden, you don't see by the first look at it.

I figured out the access for the first lvl of the computer, but trying to figure out the 2nd lvl is getting a bit tedious. The paperwork still makes no sense, yet I've found all of the items, so something I'm just not understanding. Plus the fact of the game resetting if the end is done wrong keeps you from trying too many things at once.

You are right, the resetting after doing the end in the wrong way is really boring. On the other hand, you have found all clues to figure out what to do with the thing in the briefcase. Just read those clues (the decoded documents) again with your pink glasses on (pink is here meant to be a colour). And you will know your way through this last riddle. (Keep the last page in mind, too)

Pink glasses? Maybe I havent found all of the items, but yeah I already "got" the gist of page 4 Wink Thanks for the help

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I get the pink reference, as only one thing in the room is pink. I've tried every combination I could think of and cant move, create, nothing from it. This has me STUMPED

Glecius,
Actually the "pink glasses" referred to the real world as well as to the swan's room. To the swan's room, because - as I said before - you have to keep an eye on things, that can somehow be seen as a hint for colours for those colours play a big role in the last part of the game. And it referred to our real world, because it is a phrase taken from the German "Setz deine rosarote Brille auf". If you put those pink spectacles on and have a look through them, the world looks much better, happier, nicer. Thats how this phrase is used for, you tell someone, that he/she should take it with a pinch of salt. Smile

The proper translation in english is, I believe, Rose-tinted glasses.

Thanks to you both, I understood the translation either way Wink



*EDIT*
I give up. I must be 6 shades of stupid, but I'm not seeing your reference. I got the first level from the item needed, but the 2nd makes no sense to me given the colors of things in the room. Thanks for posting it anyway, it was fun to try. Smile

So you're still trying to decode the document?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
When it asks you to input the coded documnet, try click on the document, then on the webcam of the computer


Or is it that you're looking for something else?

No, havent gotten that far I guess. I'm stuck trying to figure out how to even get into the 2nd file on the computer.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I know the clock is the key to the first access level, I got that part. Then it shows File 2 - Decoding the papers, but I have no clue how to get the authorization to even access that and nothing is making sense anymore

A hint...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Do you have one of those clocks at home? What do you do, if it does not show the correct time any more? And why doesn't it show the correct time any more?
