Are you stuck on a puzzle and want some hints and help from the community? Post about it here. You are encouraged to work together to solve the puzzles and share solutions. 

If you want to discuss something kind of spoiler-y, you can run it through a text flipper like flip.lol to create... 


¡sᴉɥʇ ǝʞᴉl sɹǝʍsuɐ ǝɹnɔsqo ʎllɐᴉʇɹɐd

this text is upside down and a little harder to read, so people can browse around with having everything spoiled for them.

I'm already stuck on the first puzzle with the fish paintings and scrambled words ;; I have a suspicion that the number of fish on the paintings matter and the little notes did mention "counting" but I can't type numbers like 1, 2, 3, etc so I spell the numbers like one, two, three etc but nothing happens and I don't know what to do (also what's a pink kaska?) ;; I guess I need to figure out what the right words are on the scrambled name plates but I have no clue what they're supposed to say.... I tried writing keywords and names down but I've been stuck for 45 minutes so gonna take a break and try again later but if someone can give me a hint then I'd be very thankful! <3 (I play on a mac)

For the fish paintings: You need to [ɥsᴉɟ ǝɥʇ ɟo sǝɯɐu ǝɥʇ ʎɐs] in front of them. You can figure out what they are called by paying attention to [ʇᴉs oʇ pǝsoddns ǝɹɐ ʎǝɥʇ ǝɹǝɥʍ sʍopɐɥs ǝɥʇ ɟo sɥʇƃuǝl ǝɥʇ puɐ sǝʇɐldǝɯɐu ǝɥʇ ɟo sɥʇƃuǝl ǝɥʇ] since they are all mixed up.

Pink kaska: You'll learn what this is [ʎɹɐɹqᴉl ǝɥʇ uᴉ].

Counting: You'll learn how to do this [ʎɹɐɹqᴉl ǝɥʇ uᴉ].


Good luck!!

thank you! tbh I thought this was an anagram type of puzzle and did not notice that it was the plates that had been switched around.

hello! I can't seem to find out who the third queen's (assuming it is ornessa) lover's name? i'm guessing it's in the library but I can't seem to find the mention of one. also with the name in the garden panes, is the answer to that area locked to the gardens itself?

Developer(+1)

you have to unlock the gardens, the answers to both those puzzles are in there! unlock and read some letters and you may learn how to gain entry

hello! im stuck on two of the shells: Whose eyes open while my sisters slumber, my guess was [ɐɹoɯɐlᴉɯ ɹo uɐᴉɹɐʌlᴉɯ], but that didnt work, im assuming by "sisters" it means the princesses? i have all the rooms but the tower and beyoned unlocked. I also can't figure out the "count the pippo to the pink kaska" puzzle,  i know how many pippo there are, and i know how to say that number in corel, but im not sure where the pink kaska is [oʇ oddᴉd ɟo ɹǝqɯnu ǝɥʇ llǝʇ oʇ ǝuo ɥɔᴉɥʍ uo ʇsol ʇᴉq ɐ ɯᴉ 'sllǝɥs ǝuᴉu ǝɹɐ ǝɹǝɥʇ puɐ 'llǝɥsɯɐlɔ sᴉ ɐʞsɐʞ ɟᴉ puɐ (ㄥ) ɥsᴉɟuʍolɔ sᴉ ɐddᴉd]

I can't seem to find the hint for the fist Kaska in the garden area. I've looked all around the garden but still haven't seen it. Either it is very well hidden or I encountered a bug. If someone found it please let me know, thanks!

I'd like a hint on how to get into the chambers. I've unlocked the library and the garden as well as opened all kaskas, exept for two in the garden (the one right at the entrance and the one with the "whose eyes open" clue.˙sɐɹɐɹɐuǝq puɐ sqɹo uɐssɐlʇ∀ ǝɥʇ 'ʎɹɐɹqᴉl ǝɥʇ uᴉ ɥsᴉɟʎllǝɾ ƃᴉq 'sʇᴉɐɹʇɹod ǝɥʇ uᴉ sǝʇou uǝppᴉɥ ǝɥʇ punoɟ oslɐ ǝʌ,I

Other than getting a little stuck sometimes - I do enjoy this game a lot! I have three pages of notes and doodles and I absolutely love the worldbuilding and reading all the notes <3 <3 Friggin amazing!!

Developer(+1)

read all the cream notes in the grand entryway - these were some of the very first you read in the game. one of them has a clue about how to get into the chambers

got it! Thank youuu <3 tbh it was very late for me so I think I just needed a nights sleep lol

I, for some reason can't figure out the shell in the chambers, I'm pretty sure I have everything else that isn't in the tower, I've tried like a million answers lol, I'm sure I'll think it's obvious once I learn it

Figured everything out except the cream kaska in the grand entryway

Hi, I have only made it into the library and I'm stuck on what to do next. I tried to do the counting pink kaska thing in the grand entry way but nothing happened even after I tried every single number :/ don't know if this is important but I'm not sure what to do next

Still stuck on the kaska but I figured out how to get into the garden!

I am noticing that the crystal balls light up with the "inspect" icon, but they don't respond wen I click them. is this a bug?

also, I am having so much trouble getting into the gardens. I've seen the hint about "find where Ara hides her letters," but i don't know what that means nor how to figure it out xD

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

the crystal ball thing is not a bug. you may be able to do something with them later!

every princess has letters hidden throughout. you have to learn the password and the object they choose to hide them in. It takes some some searching and reading before you find out!

try looking for the princesses's hidden letters. there is a note in the library that should help get you started with the youngest

hi! such a wondorous game full of secrets! i adore  it a lot! i've already seen sɹǝʇsıs ɹǝɥ oʇ sɹǝʇʇǝl ʇsɐl s,ʎuuıs, and it really seems like there are more mysteries to uncover regarding (ǝɯnsɹǝd ı 'sǝsɹoɥɐǝs puɐ sǝlqqnq) ɐɹoɯlıɯ puɐ ʎppǝɯ.  I get that I'm treading bit of the extra territory as of now, but if someone could point me to any kind of direction towards them, that'd be great! ¡ɹǝʇʇǝl s,ɐɹoɯlıɯ uo dɯɐʇs lʎɹoɔ puɐ ǝnʇɐʇs ıuɐl ʇqɐ snoıɹnɔ os ɯı oslɐ (that's not the question, i'm just gushing)

can i get a tip on how to open the door to the tower? i've opened all the shells and read everything i could, but i seem to be missing something

(i'm loving this game so much !!)

Developer

reread the hint by the door of the chamber, then look closely at every letter u unlocked from a shell. you may notice something unusual

got it, thank you <3

heeeeeeeelp how do i get into the library :((( ive tried thinking really hard and i cant do it, i got the pink kaska open but im at a loss of what to do next. 

is it something to do with the bun iii note?

loving the game tho , so pretty and cool!!

if you look at (ǝɔɐld ʇɥƃᴉɹ ǝɥʇ uᴉ ɯǝɥʇ ǝɯɐu oʇ ʇuɐʍ noʎ os 'ɥɔʇɐɯ ʇ,uop sǝzᴉs lǝqɐl ǝɥʇ ʇɐɥʇ ǝǝs ll,noʎ 'sƃuᴉʇuᴉɐd ɥsᴉɟ ǝɥʇ)
