This is already out? I'm confused I didn't record anything outside the audition lines. Was that all there was?

Edit: Holy crap how do you get through some of these puzzles? The first puzzle with the forsaken has me completely stumped. Also whenever I get a chance you mind if I record all the parts where the VA's talk and post them in a video?

[MISTER BIG T]

Fine with me. And yes, that's the entire role of Fire.


Forsaken's numeric puzzle is quite easy


( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )

With a single digit going to each. Write down each part like that and each clue. Start working from the final that is the key to others and proceed to ace it. If you're having troubles and you're fairly sure of your combination, I can almost 99% certainly say you've got the 4th one wrong.

[Punishment]

You and me both. Puzzles are not my strong point...

[Punishment]

Brute forced my way through it, and now the 4th number clue completely makes sense to me. Figures.

[MISTER BIG T]

The puzzle really is not hard, think of numbers. Numbers can be odds and even, right? A number is even if it can be divided by 2 and get a whole number, not a fragment like 1,5 or 6,3. What you want to get for the fifth number, is the third number you can divde by 2.


As for the 4th one, you can't use 6-4. Remember it's read in descending order, so you have to think of 6 as 1.



I hope that helps!

Would you be alright if I did a Let's Play (for those reading this who do not know, it would be me playing the game while giving commentary over it) of this game? I really enjoyed playing it and the puzzles were very challenging, though that made it all the more enjoyable when I figured them out.

Be my guest! I love seeing Let's plays! And yes, I wanted to replicate the good old hey days when the solving a puzzle or reaching a new segment felt like something. :)


The download link is messed up now.

The download link seemed to download from totally wrong server. I am affraid that version may have been out of date so I had to remove and went back to make sure the file downloaded properly. You could get the right file by selecting and clicking but clicking would download from diffrent address than the actual url for reasons I still have no idea how it came to be. I apologize for any inconvenience!

[MISTER BIG T]

Judges and players ahoy. THIS IS IMPORTANT.


If you downloaded this game prior to the 11th of June, you may have "Abyss" version which is ironic because in some cases, answering to Abyss may put you in infinite loop with no way of going out. While that is very symbolic, it is not what I wanted and as it requires hard shutting of the game, you should probably delete the old version and re install the new version as Abyss questions are some of the hardest questions in the entire game so misanswering is very likely. The reason this bug was totally originally missed is that it didn't always occur. However, after the new version, it is completely gone. If you got the game after 11th of June, the Abyss bug is already absent.

This is Abyss working, without infinite loop.

Uploaded the voice parts of the game. Check it out if you want to see our performances in the game. Spoilers and whatnot are in the vid so if you want to play the game and beat it yourself don't watch yet.
I hope I got all voice parts recorded, and if you'd like your youtube shown on the description please send me a message on here/youtube and I'll update it.

The voice work is quite exceptional, although they were mixed in quietly compared to the music. I highly recommend giving it a watch and a critique!

If you feel either voice or music should be lower or something, you can always adjust the volume all the way down to single % changes. You can even mute the music from the system options. The music is NOT louder than the voice work. In fact; I set the base 100% of BGM already far lower than the regular voice acting. And you can adjust them yourself to your liking. It would have been very easy to fix if you felt it didn't give out the voices enough oomph before recording a video. :)

But yes the default setting of the music is louder than the voice work. At the end you can barely hear any of the question givers also yourself as the drunk dragon lol. But yeah wish I knew before but oh well no way I'm going through the game again to rerecord all that xD

[MISTER BIG T]

Actually volume control is not default. I gave it to the player so that each person can set the volumes to the levels they want. I set the volumes so that they sounded good on my end originally but because of differianting equipment, it's why you have a perfect volume control. Like I said, you can make as big or as small changes as you need to. :hug
