am sad that i cant download it
Hey! You should be able to download it
cant find the download button only able to play in browser
Thanks for letting me know! I just added a download link at the bottom that should work.
How do I unlock the crate in the shed?
The only way to unlock the shed crate is
To get a key in the intro level of the grey. If you missed it, don't worry! There is still a way to get what you want from the crate through the supply store.
Ah, then I'm lost on what I'm meant to do.
SPOILER:
I got the three radio codes and input them and put them in the tower for the gate. I've completed the Icarus, Dollmaker, and Bast gate. I know about the Six Handed Gate past the point of no return but I couldn't enter it because it was translucent. And in the same room I'm missing the "flow" and "repository."
I've noticed I don't see Griff anywhere before class. Am I supposed to find him somewhere?
In the tunnel between the chamber the warden's office you can go left to exit :)
SPOILER:
The Six-Handed gate wasn't meant for you - it's one only the other student who was with you can access. The fact that your character can see it at all is actually very unusual.
Oh. So in that case I beat it? I thought I had to open "His" gate. So there are only two endings?
The end scrawl you get at the end depends on:
SPOILERS:
-If you turned off the machine in the tunnel
-How you deal with Marcus on the way out
Congrats on beating the game! Thanks so much for playing.
Hey was playing and able to get up to obtaining the Carved Key! I don't know how to progress further tho, as I can't seem to get the chest locked with some scales under it in the door outside of the tower. Any hints regarding that chest?
Thanks so much for playing! The scales have to be balanced, with an item that can be found in another gate (hint: what did the Egyptians weigh hearts against? And what were the wings of another named gate made of?)
Fantastic work! I especially liked the puzzle where (spoilers)

The one doll says "Niamh was right about you." Really makes me wonder what she's been saying to the dolls!
She's such a gossip that one. Thanks for playing!
Finished the game! Super unsure of how I got to the end, but I made it! Great job :)
Thank you! Glad you made it to the end haha.
was there any way to fnir ehshf? (rot13)
There is not (although we may not have seen the last of him).
Didnt finish it, but very cool. I especially enjoyed the vegetation. Very schizophrenic, good stuff
Thanks for playing! It'll be around if you want to come back to it haha
