This series feels like it's trying to be Submachine, but Submachine actually tried to make sense of it's ridiculousness.

Didn't realise there was a timer on the last stage... was freaking out going "What do you want from me?!" Got it on my second try after some very frantic clicking. Kudos. :D

Most elements in this game have a sort of logic, but inevitably this type of game will always include sections where you just have to guess what the dev wants you to do. I despise that.

If you call the number but you haven't the word, there is an annoying "BIP" sound that won't stop no matter what you do...is this normal?

So, yeah, this is the first time we decided to include a hard badge in a quest. It's definitely one of the best games from 2015, and it's not really THAT bad if you use the walkthrough. But if you're actually working through this legitimately, without a guide, and you're stuck, and frustrated, and it seems like the Kongregate quest designers have given up on you... then I'm sorry. I guess I could have made a second easier badge for just doing the first level or something. But it's too late for that now, so this apology will have to suffice instead.

hint on jigsaw puzzle: first line up the top row. one of the top row is the empty piece but put the piece under it there for safe keeping. so you have side of tower with bit of sky on left, black hole, and then side of tower with bit of sky on the right in the top row. when solving the rest, you do not have to move this row again until you have solved it, then u just slide the middle row down one

We should have at least got 5 points for solving that slider puzzle. I HATE SLIDER PICTURE PUZZLES, always have, always will. (But then again, I suck at chess also).

Like most of people here I found the final part a shocking, traumatizing experience, but I guess I got the message: Cube Escape games are not here just to give us cheap jumpscares, but also to sometimes move our lazy asses and demand some quick reaction from us, point-and-click gamers who aren't that used to make fast decisions. Besides, Rusty Lake has done timed puzzles in the series before, so we shouldn't really have been surprised to face pressure again - and in the same location of the first game!
I'd say, however, that you devs were really cruel this time, putting so many tricky puzzles together during such a tense moment and all, haha. I wish all this fear I felt was compensated later in a very calm sequel outside that elevator, but I won't be optimistic: looks like the series is getting closer to an end, and endings don't use to be easier... ;P

I had a very weird glitch with the 9-piece slide puzzle, in which a piece slid over another piece, making the puzzle unsolvable. I haven't been able to reproduce it though.

Holy crap is chapter 4 unforgiving. Specially taking on account that the best part about this seeries normally is how you can stare at the beautiful yet dark art, at first I thought I was supposed to take clues from the black guy's position and all that instead of flee in horror. Oh well...

Drop a fly into a fishbowl, use kelp to steer it into a mollusk shell from which a finger will poke the fly, making it glow so it can be fed to a fish that then disintegrates into a key. When a game makes this much sense, why even bother making a walkthrough? Also, YTF does this game run SO SLOWLY?

This game is working REALLY slowly on my computer.. I don't have a bad computer because it's brand new and it's an apple computer

Some dreadful bugs in this game...at the end of chapter 2 and the telephone from ch 1 is still going beep beep beep. Game muted. Ch 3...still beeping. Ch 4 and it's finally gone off.

I stand corrected. There's the spider things as well. I accidentally moved to a different screen while it was moving and now it's disappeared from the game. Screw it. I'm out.

Is there anything anywhere else in video gaming, anywhere at all, that's as annoying as the fish bowl? If there is, I have yet to see it.

My favorite Cube Escape by far! The timer on the last chapter isn't as bad as everyone says. You're not going to get it the first time, but just keep at it. I was able to get it down on my fourth try.
