I tried :) Got stuck on guessing the second word. Maybe a hint system or some direction?
FYI, the Unity webgl export is garbage at this point. I'd suggest just uploading a web version to a Dropbox account or something?
^ The hints and clues are in the game itself. Try to follow the rabbit hole...
I've entered a few words to get deeper into the puzzle, but still trying to understand the clues...
Hi george! Thanks for the info. I can sure you everything is related. A clue would be is the words cycle. You have to member the previous. And when you get an answer you have to research - the reward is knowledge.
Let's just say, the world is a stranger place than we thought
I have absolutely no idea what to do :/ Is the whole game guessing what to type?
Haven't gotten far yet...but....i like it enough that i'm gonna figure this out. Glad power kept running for you.
Your windows link seems to be dead.
FYI
The Web link gave me the following error: could not load memory initializer Release/ARCK.html.mem
The Windows link is currently 404-ing
Hi guys, apologies. Please try again!
I have an error with the web link
Pretty weird way to advertise a game but alright. Would've preferred if this was more than just a guessing game.
I guess I am not smart enough, but I really didn't get what to do. Tried to enter some words that came to mind..
All I can give is this constructive (I hope) feedback:
If this is the demo for your UI, I would strongly suggest, that pressing "enter" should hit the default submit key (in this case "search") because it's not fun to reach over to the mouse after typing something in :)
Thanks for the feedback. I encourage you to download the source. It's not a guessing game. You have to follow the clues to understand the relationships between the concepts. You not going to get it the first time. Here's a hint: the concepts cycle.
Another hint: try typing in 'Edward Snowden' it is cryptic for a reason because it's about to drop some knowledge onto you.
Didn't get far on my own so I downloaded the source. After going through some of it (mainly the TreeOfKnowledge.cs) I have to admit that I still don't get it. Literally 2deep4me.
It looked kind of nice and had an interesting mood I guess, but at least for me it just wasn't a whole lot of fun.
Let me guess. Not much of a conspiracy theorist?
Something "ancient in it's origin, new in its intensity"
Certainly very atmospheric, but I'm afraid the game is too obtuse for my liking. Couldn't really get anywhere with it. And as someone else pointed out, I found it annoying to have to click Submit every time, I think the Enter key should have been enough. Seems like it could be interesting, but its just not for me I'm afraid.
@morbidcamel: I'm indeed not a conspiracy theorist. I could kinda see something with the biblical and alien themes in there, but still couldn't grasp your train of thought. Good luck with Inhabitant!
Interesting puzzler. I got an error in the webGl build, so I downloaded the windows. Cool use of the new UI btw. I think I might of broke it when I pressed ALT+0161, in one of the hints i thought the question mark changed to upside down so I thought we had to type that character. But as it later turned out the question mark was upside down in the first place. The camera started spinning around! I liked your intro sequence. Anyway, cool game!
Actually never mind your supposed to rotate the camera with the num pad keys. I feel so stupid -_-
Thanks IamAcoconut - I explain all in my new blog entry: http://www.inhabitantgame.com/Home/Comms
I... just don't get it...
The camera moves closer, so I think I've done something right. But then I get the exact same results if I just spam Search over and over. I don't know if I'm doing anything right at all... and I have to keep clicking search with a mouse.
It's smarter than I am, I guess... lol
