I really thought I had posted Rat Room 2 before, I've certainly played it before, but searching back through the vaults I just can't find it anywhere. So, if you haven't tried it before, start randomly clicking in the point'n'click pit of darkness that is Rat Room 2 which manages to be even more obscure than the original Rat Room. It's black, black, black... [subbed by winniethepooh, Cynthia & Ashley].

1stest?

second...yay

Is it scary?

argh. i wish i had some light... but it's kinda amusing clicking around in the dark and watching the captions comment on objects that you don't see :P

I got some japapnes type writing, is that something? All i found is:


HINT: (click box to highlight/fade)

japanese writing? i've found a book somewhere, but can't read it. and i think there was something picked off the floor, but i don't see an inventory anywhere, so i can't be sure :(

oh. i saw the jap text too... not sure, but i think the author forgot to translate that bit? lol...

i found a key!


SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)


now the problem: is there an inventory? or will the key just work automatically with whatever it's supposed to open? :P

How do you turn the light on?

been clicking forev! where is the light!!!

Found key and then when you click on the drawers it asks the question can the drawers be opened with the key? But they don't! Aargh!

Found another key!
<keep clicking just above the text box on the upper left top until the curtain opens...then click just beside that to get a second key>

<key found just above the text box on the upper left top. Keep clicking until you've opened the curtain then click again in that area>

I opened the drawer and found nothing in it

@ glen.. the drawers have got keyholes. but both keys that i've found so far appear to open empty drawers :(

2nd key??

um.. i'll try to rmb...

I found two keys aswell.. I think.. is everyone else doing this in the dark ????? where are the lights ?

i dunno.. haven't found the light yet either... i sure hope someone gets a major breakthrough in the game soon, else i'm going to give up on it :S i'm getting pretty bored of seeing variations of 'wooden board' captions ;)

yep... me too
Just about had it

OH MY.... YEEPEE


SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)

Lame !!!

all that clicking for nothing.. I did NOT enjoy this one ... at all

oh sorry... lol


SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)

How dumb!

I think I got RSI in finger from all the clicking - and what for??

Who do i email to get that time back I WASTED!

alright, I found a number of things in the view with the inactive switch from the start (the starting room):

HINT: (click box to highlight/fade)


Aside from apparently just viewing the ending movie by fast forwarding, has anyone found the correct key to open the third locked drawer? I have found four keys and opened the top two drawers, but I must be missing a key...
Keys I have found:

Just carefully mouse-over to read a message, usually beginning with Mm.. to tell you where a key is. Also, using the tab key works - it does not show you where things are, nor can you select using Enter or Space, but remember that the tab key scans from top down, so it can give you a clue as to how high or low a suspicious object is.

This game is harder than i thought. darkness, yes...even a walkthrough cant help! Well, watever..

Played this quite a while ago... I think the view with the carpet is where the light is, I just don't remember where. Repeat, there is a light! But do you have the patience to keep looking for it? And suffering thru the rather rough translations? hehehe

u know... it's just a thought. but when u uh.. right-click and click play to see the ending scene, it says that you left a *hexagon* room. which leads me to think that there are actually SIX sides to the room instead of three, just that each of the sides have a layout similar to the side directly opposite it.

especially since when i click the books on one side of the room, i can see that 'popup' window with an outline of the book, but when i'm on the other side of the room, nothing happens when i click on the books (the caption just says 'i took it' or something like that)

(i'm hoping that i'm making sense....)

anyway, i was working with that assumption of six sides earlier in the day, but i still didn't get the last (or was it last 2) key(s)... but maybe someone else might want to try. this might also explain why the drawers seem to open sometimes but not at other times (So perhaps that isn't a bug after all?!)

OMG I checked Gamershood and apparently the version with the light was a goof. The entire game is made to be played in the dark. I don't think I can do this. This is pixel-hunting, and so I am out.

hmmm, i can't even get the lights.

can some someone please HELP

never mind

Vasso how have U turned on the lights??

anybody!!! how to turn on the lights or find a flashlight??

There are no lights... there are no flashlights.... enjoy clicking 'till your finger falls off... but that's the entire game

alright, I found another key...

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)


Anyone else find that last key?

Thanks,

Dan

This game sucks.

Another version of this game can be found here, sorry can't do links but copy and paste in your browser

Forgot to add there are sketches of some of the objects in the room in that version ...

this sucks why playing a game when its dark??:P Ive tried clicking every spot but im not very lucky, didn't found anything yet.

What a piece of s**t this game is!

This is stupid. I've wasted about 15 minutes of my life on this.

Boooooo!

F*** this game! I have played some lame freaking Room Escapes, but this, my friends, is the absolute worst. We need another 239472643 keys game!

Yeah, the game was a pain, but that link Nocando posted gives us a version with some visual help. Over all, a good concept by tricking us with identical rooms, but we would have liked a flash light to find, even if it meant fumbling around on that first screen to find it. Additionally, you could put a time limit on the battery life, meaning that the brightness could fade as time progressed, and if a player took too long, he/she would have to find a way in a pitch black room. So to the author - put the time in to make a detailed level, and some kind of light source --> you could even have a locked door with a light shining from under it, or have us open the curtain to find a brick wall with a crack allowing some moonlight in and we would have to find a reflective surface to aim the very faint and/or small radius light (like a polished quarter - make us find it, a rag, and some kind of polish to shine it up, or something). To make it really tough, although many of us may probably pick up on it in the future after playing this game, you could have an octogonal room - everyone would not raise suspicions in a seemingly four-walled room....

Dan

haha that was odd. I was in the black screen and did the right click and pressed play and boom.. the game was over!


easiest game ; )

i was getting frustrated by clicking in the dark

Ok. I found FOUR Keys So far (Naming the part by the biggest thing in the room)
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)

Hope this helps for the people who had completely given up on this game.

Ohh. I think I need another two keys. I think there are two locks on each Drawer.

This game makes me sick... from staring into that evergrowing :-o black hole, and from clicking my a** off :-( Thanks to those of U who keep trying, though.. I'm giving up now, however interesting and different this game is, I can't see the future of p&c-games in this one... except if u're already blind, that is..
