README (Hints at bottom if you feel like you're stuck) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Controls --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Press the left and right arrow keys to change the direction you're facing Click on objects to interact with them (if the magnifying glass appears, the object can be interacted with) Press "i" to open your inventory and hover the mouse over the items to see a description, some items can be clicked on and interacted with in your inventory --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instructions & Description --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You just woke up in a room without any belongings besides the clothes on your back. This room does not have any amenities besides a chair, some posters, and a strange button panel on the wall. Your only hope of escape is a locked door. You must use your intelligence, good observational skills, and patience in order to even have hope of finding what you need to escape! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hints --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WARNING: DO NOT SCROLL DOWN FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT THE PUZZLES SPOILED FOR YOU -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hint 1: Try clicking on everything! Interacting with something has the possibility of activating something on a different wall! This might also give your character an idea on how to do a puzzle somewhere else. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hint 2: If you have a new item in your inventory, you'll interact with some items completely differently. Try thinking outside the box with how you use your items --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hint 3: The doorknob gives different interactions than the door (this isn't made very clear in the game, sorry) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hint 4: the wall that's seemingly most empty (compared to the other ones) has some somewhat hidden objects. Look for a faint outline of something --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hint 5: Unscrew the chair legs and the doorknob, those steps are essential to success --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hint 6: the safe code might be slightly difficult, if you need help, the third digit is 08 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hint 7: The lockbox puzzle can be slightly difficult, to solve it put in the letters O P E N and change those letters to the specified amount (Ex: O Up 22, press up on 'O' 22 times) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hint 8: The code is on the other side of the key --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Potato: There is a potato inside the safe, don't you dare blow its cover by clicking on it (trust me, it's not a good idea, you'll be attacked by a horde of them! I know this from experience!) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Credits at bottom Please report any bugs and I'll do my best to fix them There's a scary(ish) Easter egg if you solve the door code without the final item. Just don't cheat and you won't get spooked Does not work on mobile (sorry), though, I do want to eventually make a version for mobile users, if this project gets enough traction I know that there are some overlays that glitch out (including the inventory, and some puzzles). If you could comment with some tips on how to fix that quickly, that'd be truly appreciated. (I've tried fixing it before, and I would either break it, or I realized that all the code would need to be reworked) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Credits --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Design: All sprites and code by me (yes, I made everything from scratch) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music: During Gameplay: Sneaky, Mystery, Detective Song by Johannes Bornlöf End Card: Love OST - Love? by NYXTheShield --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inspiration: A game with a very similar name, "Empty Room", in fact, some of the puzzles are almost identical Also Inspired by "Escape the Haunted Castle" by @StevenTheSquare, her project inspired me to make an escape room https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/294452400/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
