I love the concept! I wish more games would play around with the concept of samsara (the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth). It gives more substance to the goal of an escape game by making your "escape" enlightenment. Also, it's fun and surreal, just the way I like it!

For those of you who are complaining about the ending...I looked up the meaning of "Samsara" and it makes more sense to me now. Samsara is a concept in some eastern religions: it is the passage of life and of the soul, of reincarnation, dawn and dusk. It's an endless cycle, and the goal of some of these eastern religions is to "break free" of this cycle by achieving "enlightenment." The phone at the beginning said to "search for enlightenment." You reincarnated into creatures over and over until you were able to "escape" the room, which was like breaking free of the cycle. it's a particularly westernized idea to be rewarded with money and stuff at the end of a game, but this game is very eastern in philosophy. See, the goal was not to get cake or rewards for escaping the room. Escaping the room itself, by achieving "enlightenment" (the ultimate state of mind according to those religions) was the goal all on its own.

For those who don't understand the ending, Samsara is the cycle of reincarnation. You go through a series of reincarnations (the various animals) triggered by your own actions, until finally you escape the cycle (the room) and attain freedom from worldly suffering (enlightenment)

Very good puzzle game, and confusing... but did anyone else think the ending needed a little more work? I mean you reached "Enlightenment" you would think you would be enlightened as to what happened in the first place...

I started randomly clicking on the clock, and somehow i opened it. When i saw the dead body, i clicked on it, until it fell down. Then i was like "Thats gonna come to live any second. Im out." and i stopped playing.

I'd chose fishes, geckos, caterpillars and eggs over keys, locks, and codes any day. Interesting puzzle for a change.

oh that was good once i figured out how to use the candle things. Rather than keep changing the fish and stuff you can have the first three rooms on a loop.

I get it, the box represents my brain right? right? No? .... Huh... well that's what happened to my brain at the end.

Pretty enjoyable game. Not a click-fest and unfolds quite uniquely. Definitely set apart from other escape room games. 5/5

I tried this on three different browsers by now, but setting the clock to 20 past 6 doesn't do anything. Anyone else with this problem?

I also felt like i heard the caterpillar song before. Probably in another game. I am trying to look for it here: http://incompetech.com/ If anyone finds it, please tell me
