For some reason, it keeps asking me for a username & password to go to the attic.

Yes. Thats what its supposed to do. You have to find clues and figure out the username and password. Same with the safe.

I can see something on the frame of a painting.... but it's too distorted to make out.... also in the backyard...
Sorry but the clues aren't conclusive... We need a better idea...

I am operating under the assumption that you, pennsteve67, either are the author or know the author of this game. If you are not the author, please forward my comments to him/her. Thank you.

Firstly, I would guess that the clues were written into the pictures in zoomed-out format, probably using Paint or a similar format and then saved into the jpg image format. Unless exceptionally high resolutions are used, this will result in color dithering and blurring; more precisely, it will mean that the clues are essentially unreadable.

The solution is to put the clue into a zoomed-in view and save in a true-color format (I recommend png). If you must use jpg, consider an alternative method for getting the clue. Example: put the clue on a clickable bit of the frame, so that when clicked, the code is instantly viewable in a frame that has nothing to do with the main picture. This will avoid one of the major problems of color dithering, especially if the code is actually text rather than image.

Secondly, the authentication of the safe and the attic require both a username and a password. However, the code given on any of the 13 options is singular, with no obvious breaks to show where the username ends and the password begins (or vice-versa). Attempting to use the full code for both the username and password proved incorrect.

Finally, the rebus found in the book is confusing at best. While the 7-up logo is understandable in context, the omega symbol is functionally useless if you are intending to use the symbol to represent a number. Omega actually represents eleven different numbers in terms of numerological theory and there is no clue which indicates which one you intend (if indeed any of them).

This is not intended to be derogatory or cutting, but rather to point out the areas which are lacking in the hope that you will correct them. The game has good promise; I hope to be able to play it through soon!

I went up the stairs - doesn't appear to be a way to get back down. Can only click for attic and empty bathroom. I'll restart
safe

having trouble with password - tried Lee Stephens and oil change and just plain oil. Anyone solve this one?

Is that the symbol for Omega? thus 24 ?

looks like a zero, square, square, 1 or 7

cute idea for a game. but seems glitchy and when zooming in, everything is distorted.

yay got into the safe!!!

look on the safe there is a word on there that u use as the username

[lamarblake]

Hmmm. For weeks there's been no game posting on the home page under latest games. I've been going to the forum to find them. Now, today there are a few on the first page but what I find is this game, which as stated above is fairly glitchy. I can't seem to back out of the second floor either for starters. What's up at Gamershood anyway?

thanks to clues, i got into the safe. i'm missing two things, though: a username to get into the attic and 1st part of password. here's what i do have tho:

1st part of the password: it's on the tree. but which tree and how do i see it? i tried saving the pictures and then zooming in, but they're so pixelated that i can't see anything

2nd part: experiment

3rd part: 807, i think. i found this by assuming that omega stood for 800. but, as mentioned in earlier posts, it can have multiple meanings.

4th part: 22

username: i'm assuming it's the bit on the bottom of the frame. but i can't tell what it is. could be o007, or 0oo7, or who knows what else.

that's all i've got. hope it helps somebody, cuz it doesn't help me.
