Escape - A Puzzling Story

Escape the building, escape the past.

The following is from Escape's ModDB page located here.
You can download Escape from ModDB or this MediaFire link.

August 19th


"Prepare your brain." -Statyk

"Escape is done!

"Escape is a small 24-hour custom story that I created to kill some time before going off to college. The premise of the story is simple, puzzles! I tried to add some new types of puzzles into this small story, and I hope they prove challenging. Aside from that Escape is also heavy on the inspection or "point-and-click" aspect (which means you can examine almost anything if not everything).


"This wouldn't have been completed if it weren't for the musical stylings of Kurton (go check him out on Soundcloud.com), and the map-nagging of Kman (go check out his mod The Subconscious Trials on Moddb.com). Also I wanted to send a shout out to everyone who popped in on my stream when making this map, you know who you are. And, if you want, the entire 20 hour process of creating this map can be found at Twitch.tv.


"Swell."

Enjoy,
triadtimes

I am considering whether or not to post gay seal.

In other news, it's actually pretty good, so play it bitches.

RE: Escape - A Puzzling Story

*sigh*

Yet another proof of my lack of intelligence. For I am stuck on the first puzzle like the justified retard that I am.
Spoiler below!
Can't figure out bookshelf combination, and I assume that we're not expected to just randomly drag books until we find it. I also assume the hint is in the poem but as I a fucking moron I can't make anything of it. Please assist a brainless shit like me in need.

RE: Escape - A Puzzling Story

I found the bookshelf puzzle impossible. though I found the right combination and the explanation from the hps file I seriously don't understand how anyone could have figured it out.

Excellent, and i didn't need any help to finish it! If you are going to attempt this, bring a pencil and some paper and read EVERYTHING. Literally everything.

Awesome custom story tyler!
here is my playthrough if you get stuck.

SPOILER ALERT!!!
Spoiler below!

I've tried dusins of combinations for the books.
I found the combination note:
1 (I cannot guess it. Since her poem is about sunshine and appletrees i guessed June, July, August... Not working with the other combinations)
2 (My guess is that this is the dots she puts in the end of each letter?)
3 (Must be 9)
4 (The exact difference must be 1:34, but then i guess it is 1, since it is only hours)


Also: Fix book in number 1. It is really heavy to get out...

Spoiler below!


1 there is a note for when they were engaged, use the month,
2 click on all the windows
3 there is book under the safe saying 9
4 the difference between 6 and 8 is 2 silly

Knowing which book is whixh number is hard to explain but its quite simple.

Have either of you found the note labeled "Combination"? Until you get that note there is no need to be pulling on the puzzle-books. Just wondering if you gave up before finding the note or after, because if it is before finding it then there's your problem. There are other things to do besides pulling books ya'know.
