How did I miss this before? Locus is a beautiful point'n'click adventure, with great music, which, unusually, is presented in Quicktime rather than Flash. [via nordinho].

Vickietickietoria
:Loved it, but got a 'to be continued..' at the end.
:(
Murtaugh
::(
short, simple not challenging at all, and that to be continued sign at the end.
but the graphics were cool

Ash
:Gave up with the stars. Pretty boring.
Valkyrie_lisa
:Yeah, um, if I can get through a point 'n' click game with no help, it's probably too easy ;).
Slgalt
:Pleasant and amusing. Cool design. The sparkling stars on the star chart with the whale took a while (mostly just clicking until you got through various lighting). Most were simple familiar puzzles like simon and concentration but with a truly unique design to them.
Mle
:Is anyone else finding this hard to navigate? Maybe it's just me...

Sorry guys, I just had to do it again.
Now lets see who's going to comment on this song?
TEE HEE!
Tessa
:Okay.
When I tried to load this game, My Firefox froze and began playing Amish Paradise.
I like that song though, so its cool.
KCat
:Mine froze up too...the song came on automatically...something screwy
Christal
:where do you click in the stars part? (not in the dolphin with light) any help would be appreciated. thanks
Christal
:never mind, i found it.
Big Russ
:That was pretty easy. I donno what I did to win that whale thing, but I got past it pretty easy.
Jaf
:Does the author of the game read this?
If so, you need about thirty more puzzles, something to be gained when a puzzle is completed, somewhere to go, and a POINT.
Apart from that, I think it's pretty spectacular, graphically, and operationally. You have the germ of something wonderful there. So Get On With It!
And, by the by, I don't care if I'm *never* first to post. How uncool is that? Or is it ultimate cool?
LOLIEH88
:yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Hoopla
:livin in an amish paradise... ok game to short... yeah people already said that but hey, no time for thinking now
Hmm...
:whats with the stars?
Hmm...
:whats with the stars?
Singinbabe
:TO BE CONTINUED?! wow that was easy... if i could do it anyone can... haha
LMFAO
:I love this song more than i did the game.
''we havent even payed the phone bill in 300 years''
Spanpris
:I hate when a game can't be played on anything other than a Microsoft OS. :(
Caroline /Swe
:Mystery Person should quit interrupting this game site and go somewhere where he better fits in. How about a doctor's appointment?
ALL I F**KING NEED IS A WALKTHROUGH because I am getting NOWHERE in this game.
PLS help me.
Meme
:this isn't exactly a walkthrough, but here's some MINMIAL HINTS:
most basic hint: nothing is that complicated, so play with it and you'll figure it out (or solve it by accident, like i did).
first, you see a picture that shatters. hint:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
your pointer turns into a hand when you scroll over the pieces.
when you solve that puzzle, you hear some white noise, kind of like applause.
now you're in a room with grottoes, and you're looking at the puzzle you just solved. what to do next? hint:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
as you scroll around, your pointer turns into an arrow.
now you're looking at a picture of a humpbacked whale (or, in Latin,
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
cetus, from which the word "cetacean"
). what do you do? hint:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Cetus is a constellation, and your cursor is followed by three stars. so what you do is
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
click on the symbols to place the stars.
but then what? hint:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
notice that when you run your cursor over the fourth symbol, the picture goes dark. that's a hint.
now you're looking at a library, with the open book showing the picture of the whale. notice that nothing happens when you scroll around. what to do next:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
click and hold while you move the mouse.
the next scene you can move to has seven little trumpets and seven eyeballs. clicking on the trumpet makes a noise and raises the eyeballs. once you wake it up, it plays with you: one of the trumpets plays itself. hint:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
that's a clue about what it wants you to do.
you can tell if you do what you're supposed to do because
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
you hear a bell.
when you've played the game correctly five times, there's cheering again, and you're back in the room.
the next puzzle shows you sixteen boxes (plus a green cup and wand-like thing and some bowls and screws). the cursor doesn't change as you scroll around. hint:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
don't let that stop you.
see what's behind the doors, and notice what happens when you open another door. hint:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
there are eight different types of fires burning behind the doors.
another hint:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
the goal is to open all the doors.
when you've solved that puzzle (for some reason, no cheering just subdued bells), you find the last grotto, with a telescope. for some reason, when you look through the telescope, you see a spider. this is not a clue.
when you click on the view through the telescope, you end up looking at a star-chart of the zodiac. hint:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
you're trying to find something to click on.
bigger hint:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
it's related to something you did earlier.
biggest hint:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
you'll recognize it when you see it.
plus,
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
the cursor changes, or at least it did once for me.
that's it, the end. hopefully they mean it when they say "a suivre"....
Caroline /Swe
:Meme - thank yoou thank you thank you!
The only parts i might have figured out for myself was the
[spoiler]"memory game"[/spoiler] of the boxes, and the finale in the telescope.
Did any1 else have trouble w the game freezing? I had to reload and start over about 4 times.
A very nicely made game I must say, beautiful artistic work!
Meme
:no problem Caroline/Swe.
for spoilers, don't use square brackets [
use diagonal brackets <
