Strawberry Tomato is a victim of it's own success, or rather of the success of the previous Gotmail games. Yes it's got the familiar high quality graphics, yes it has some nice point'n'click puzzles to figure out, yes the "escape the room" goal is one that we know and love. But it's all somewhat overshadowed by the difficulty in loading the thing - it's so popular that if you are lucky enough to get the thing loading you can almost see each byte arriving one by one. So much so that sopdox has sent in a pre-game walkthough which I'm going to include as it's rather accurate and helpful:
Pre-Game Walkthrough:
1. Wake up, do not stop for the bathroom or anything else, go to your computer. Type URL in browser. 2. Get black screen with Japanese writing with Yellow Japanese word in the middle. Don't bother clicking, this is the Server to Busy page. Refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh OOOH! you got a black screen with a red outline in the middle. 3. Go to the bathroom. Come back, if you're lucky you got a picture with a language choice. Cool, make your selection. If not, repeat step #2. Finally get screen with status bar. Oh no! No numbers on the status bar, status bar not moving. Repeat step 2 again. Continue refreshing until your status bar reads 0%. 4. Take your shower, get dressed for work/school/whatever. Have breakfast, drink coffee or tea and read the morning paper. Check your computer screen, oh good you're at 2%. 5. Leave your house, go to work, school, or whatever you had planned for your day. 6. Come home, have dinner, watch television, read, check your e-mail, rent a movie or go out and see one. Come back, get ready for bed. Check your computer screen...90% Maybe tomorrow you can actually play. And whatever you do don't accidentally shut your game off, or it's back to step 1...

If I close it now, will I have to download it again the next time? If it is: I want a walkthrough NOW!
Comment By Micprop
Good grief!! I've been at this game all day! Checking in on intervals to see what new clue I can find ever so often whilst I do my other chores. I simply HAVE to figure this game out! I'm simply too afraid to shut my pc off and try again later or tommorrow since it takes so freaking long to load!!
So far I've been able to get the smaller of the two doors open and discovered something there. You can place some objects in that room also but after that ...I dunno. As for that infuriating secret room in the lower right half of the cupboard I don't know what the heck to do and I'm sorry I couldn't go more into detail guys. I'm having probs with making the spoilers or else I would have listed the stuff I have so far which amount to 9 some used and some not.

Try clicking the other "????" instead of the rectangle, I can't remember everything right off hand, but it did take a few times for me to log-in, as well.
Your browser or other settings may affect how it appears. Just try it until it comes to the other screen ( think it shows your log-in info, like you have successfully logged in). It is annoying, sorry if it is confusing, was for me, too.
Also, after you do all the log-in crap, (after the 08/18 Strawberry Tomato NEW) you will be back on the home/error page where you started and you will have to refresh a million times until the you get the status bar shows 0%. Doing the steps Graeme mentioned.
Hope this helped. Still waiting for mine to load.

Can't figure out how to change screens. I'm on the first screen with a sign over head and have a briefcase that opens but I can't take out the white paper that's in the case. Can someone give me some pointers? Please?

Am I all alone in this great big room? hello,hello,hello. Wow, What an echo.
Done at last. This game is, appart from beeing exstreemly slow-loading allso a hard one to crack. As allways with Gotmail, it's a beautyfull game, but it's not at all logic. And it's a long game too. But i finally got the

ONLY CLICK IF YOU REALLY NEED TO.
I've made a walkthrough for anyone stuck. I hope I didn't mess it up. Mind you, "War & Peace" may be shorter than this walkthrough.
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Move chair from right side table. Zoom in under the table, what’s that little dot on the wall next to the chair leg? Click on it, notice the outlet.
Zoom all the way out. Check out the left table. You can move the chair out of the way, but why?
Zoom out to the view of the corner with the blue door and the big stone. Zoom in on the little picture on the wall. Take note of the shape in the corner and the number underneath the picture (they change each time you play).
Zoom in on the blue door. Click the doorknob…it’s locked.
Zoom out and click on the trash bin. You found and OUTLET ADAPTER. Well we know where this should go. Return to the first table and try plugging it in. It won’t fit. Maybe you should have a closer look at this adapter. Double click to examine an object. As you examine the adapter you realize it has many types of plugs on it. Click till you see the 3 round prongs set in a triangle. Then click on it one more time so they face away. Now try plugging it in. Aha, it fits.
Zoom out. Let’s keep looking around. Go left twice so you’re 1 screen to the left of the blue door. Another little picture on the wall. You know what to do. Don’t go away yet. There’s something peeking out from behind the big terracotta pot. Let’s check it out. It’s a panel with the word CLOSE on it. Nothing to do here yet. Zoom out.
Go left and click on the white shirt so it moves out of the way. Check out the picture that was hiding and make a note. Zoom in on the painting under the shirts. There’s a code to be found. Maybe the numbers behind the pictures will have something to do with it.
Zoom out and go left. Let’s check the main door juts for kicks. Yes, it’s locked. Zoom out and go left. There’s another table. Zoom in twice. What’s this thing in the square box? Looks like a little white ball, but you can’t pick it up. It’s not a little white ball, but a light. Leave it where it is. You can move this chair out of the way too, but why? Click on the plant to learn it’s a Gooseberry plant.
Zoom out once and click low to zoom in on the big terracotta pot in the corner. Click twice to move it out of the way. Something is in the mouse hole. Click and you get a WOODEN STICK.
Zoom out and go left. Zoom in on the fireplace. It’s too dark to see inside. Zoom out. There’s another picture on the right to take note of. Click on the cabinet. You can’t open it. Not much in your inventory but what the heck, let’s try. Highlight the WOODEN STICK and the door opens. You get a SHIRT. Now open the one next to it. It’s empty. Move left and open the dessert case (dark little knob on the left). Get yourself a GOOSEBERRY JELLY. Zoom out and go left. There’s something on top of the dessert cabinet. Take a look. Something needs to sit there.
Zoom out and check out the rest of the cabinets on the left. Open the bottom right cabinet. There’s nothing there. But wait…there’s a faint outline against the back. Click on it. It’s a panel that opens to reveal a mechanism with the word CLOSE on it. Try pushing the bottom of the gray part and watch a quick scene. Aha… something needs to hold this one in place so the other panel you found earlier can also be activated, You have a stick, give it a try. Nope, not this time. Zoom out and open the bottom left cabinet. It’s empty too. Move up now. Those two little ones are fake drawers. Move up. Open both cabinets and zoom in on the bowls. You lift each one up and you find a red STONE. Nothing else of interest in this cabinet. Time to try the top. The left one is empty. Open the one on the right and zoom in. It yields a BOABAB TREE plant.
Zoom out once. There’s something poking out from behind the left of the cabinet. Look at the picture and note the symbol and number. Zoom out and click on the floor near the left of the cabinet. There’s something behind there. You can’t reach it, but you have a long stick. Use your stick and you get an ELECTRIC FAN. Examine the fan and click on the blue outer part of the fan so it folds down to create a stand. Put it back in your inventory. The table with the outlet is just to your left. Go ahead and plug in the fan and turn it on. As it spins you see a letter. Make a note of it.
Zoom out and go left to the locked door in the corner. Highlight your dessert and try the knob now. Must be some dessert to open a locked door. Go into the cellar. Go left and take a look around. Zoom in and then again on the right where there’s a gray rectangle looking thing against the wall. You realize it is water. Zoom out and eyeball the little canal thing that the water flows down. It goes to the steps. Zoom in on where the water meets the steps. You find a dark STONE. Now look at the round thing in the middle. Something round looks like it should fit here. Put the BOABAB TREE in the center. You notice 3 little holes where little round objects might fit. You have 2 stones you need a third. Leave the cellar.
Go to the floor between the two tables. Zoom in on the floor. A hold magically appears in the floor. You try your stones but they don’t belong there. Try the WOODEN STICK. But before you put the stick in the hole, examine the stick and zoom in on the hole. Now put the RED STONE in the stick’s hole. Then put the stick in the hole on the floor. Click on the lower half of the stick (this could take some doing) and you will be taken to a view of the red stone that now shines light into the fireplace. Don’t pull out the stick. Go to the fireplace and retrieve a STATUE. Examine the statue. It’s quite dirty. Now you can go back and retrieve your WOODEN STICK. Examine it and take the RED STONE back out.
Take your dirty STATUE and go to the cellar where you can rinse it off. Now your statue is clean. Examine your STATUE, turn it around and note the map on its back. There is an arrow telling you where to put the STATUE. Leave the cellar and walk around the room. You can’t help wondering why you can zoom in on that little light in the square box on the table. Put your STATUE on over the light and click on one of the light holes. Take a look at it. Note the letter. Take your STATUE back. Remember that resting spot on top of the dessert case shown on the statue’s map? Try you statue there next. Okay, nothing happens. But he does look like he’s pointing at something. Zoom out once and click the top of the cabinet. Get a pair of SUNGLASSES. Take your STATUE back. You’re not done with him.
Go to the blue double doors. Click on a glass pane to zoom in. Then click the lower right corner of the window by the chairs to zoom in. “It reflects the sky like a mirror.” Well, you haven’t found any mirror. Do you have anything else that might reflect? Try your SUNGLASSES. A series of shapes appear. Note their order. You’ve seen these shapes before and they correspond to numbers. Now you can get the code for the painting beneath the shirts. When you see UNLOCK zoom out. Look at the painting and slide the painting down to reveal a grid. If you took the time to examine your statue closely, you’ve seen something like this before. If not, examine the back of your statue.
Remember those two letters you found? They are coordinates on the grid. Find the box they correspond to and click on it. A red dot will be there. Look at your statue again. Where in the room would the spot of the red dot be? (The coordinates for the red dot change with each game). Find the spot that the diagram shows and zoom in on the floor in that area. You get a MINIATURE HOUSE. And oh, joy, another code to find. You try the one you already found but it doesn’t work. Go back around the room and check all the pictures again. They now have different numbers corresponding to the shapes. Get the new set of numbers. Now you try the new numbers with your old sequence. Nothing happens. Maybe there’s a new sequence. Go back to the sunset view and try your SUNGLASSES again. Now you get a new sequence of shapes. Examine your MINIATURE HOUSE and try your brand new code. Voila! It works and you get a STONE. Now you have 3 stones. You know where they go. Off to the cellar.
Place the three stones in their respective slots around the BOABAB PLANT. Ooh, pretty lights. The plant goes into the stone. Click in the hole to view the plant. Now leave and take a walk around the room. Go back and check on your plant. It’s grown a little. Zoom out and zoom back in again. It’s grown a little more. If it hasn’t, leave the room and come back. Click around the branches of the BOABAB plant. You snapped a BRANCH off. Examine the cut end of the branch and read the comment. An insect? A hint, perhaps? Leave the cellar.
Go to the table with the plant and light box on it. Click on the upper left window pane. You’ve opened a window. You might let an insect in. Highlight your BRANCH in your inventory and click on the large wooden post in the corner near the window (near the middle of the post). You’ve smeared the sap on the post. Don’t waste your time staring at it. Take a walk. Go back and look at the sap…nothing. Walk around some more. Keep doing this until you see a bug stuck on the sap. Take the beetle and examine it. Keep clicking on the beetle until it’s really pissed off.
Go to the secret panel in the bottom right cabinet left of the dessert case. Zoom in and use your BEETLE on the mechanism. It now says OPEN and so does the other hidden panel. Go to the other panel. Incase you can’t find it again, it’s behind the big terracotta pot next to the bench. Open the panel and see a box inside. From the box get a SPOON. You might be feeling kind of hungry about now but you can’t eat your dessert. This is a special dessert, you must find a perfect spot to eat it.
If you have the stick and statue still in your inventory you can put them in back in the last place you used them (hole in the floor and resting spot on the dessert case). Perhaps go look at a lovely sunset, but which view. Perhaps one you haven’t looked at yet. Go to the table by the fan on the floor. Move the chair out of the way and click the chair seat. You get a sunset view. Now you can enjoy your dessert. If you still can’t eat it you may need to visit the website by clicking the link that you see when you examine your GOOSEBERRY JELLY. You should go there anyway, because I think you can’t finish the game unless you at least open the link, for me it opened in a new window but for others it didn’t, so make sure you open the link in a new window.
So now you’ve eaten, but you’re still locked in. What about the plant? Go take a look at it. Aww, there’s a little blossom on it. Better leave it alone for a bit. Leave and come back again. Now the blossom has become a nut. Pick the NUT off the tree. Examine the NUT. It splits open to reveal a KEY!!! Time to leave this joint. Use the KEY on the double doors and leave.

Hi Handyman, Can you tell me how to move around in this game? I can't get off the first screen.
Comment By Minxi
OK. I totally agree with Sara_ita. We don't have the time or the finger power to start again tomorrow. Has anyone finished this game? I know a walkthrough is usually left for a few days but this is an emergency. This game means war.

You should not have any troubles moving around. There are arrows to move from scene to scene. In any scene, just click whatever you want to look at or pick up. If its active, you will go to it. Maybe you havn't got to the real game yet?

looks like it would be fun... but i dont have the patience to click all the question marks and wait all day for it to load... sucks 2 b me lol...
you don't have to click any question marks. Just keep on refreshing the page, until the proper load page appears. Then have patient while it downloads.

Puhleassse someone help me I really gotta finish this darned game!!
Comment By Sopdox
It took me forever to get to the right scene.

Go to the table where the fan is on the floor. Click on the chair so that it moves out of the way. Click on the seat of that same chair and it should bring you to a view of the sunset. If you still have items in your inventory perhaps you need to get rid of them. I ended up putting the statue back on the stand and the stick back in the hole before it worked for me.

Gaaaaaaaaaaargh!!! Sopdox...I've followed your instructions impeccably and stilllllll UNABLE to do that scene with the dessert! I haven't a clue as to what I'm doing wrong! Slowly going bonkers here people. I've been behind this infuriating game allllll dayyyy! Need to finish the dang thing before I self implode!

Sob...sob..helllp stuck oh so stuck!
Comment By Hockeypuck
K, for those who have finished, is this game worth the agony of waiting for it to load? Cuz if it's not, then I'm going to forget it.

I'm not getting a black screen with a red outline. What I'm getting is a black screen with the following text at the top of the screen: ※WindowsVistaをお使いの場合は

Gonna see my shrink, now. Thanks for the walkthrough and other help. I wasted 5 hrs on this :). Good game, though.
Comment By Sweeti
This game was good..once it loaded. but when it takes 5X or longer to load then play..it gets annoying.

Thank you so much for your really inspiring walkthrough. I never would have been able to manage the game without it. And, by the way, maybe it was longer than "War & Peace", but it was much more amusing ;-)

Why don't they put it on two servers like they did with Vision Museum?

Comment By Biggs
Please help?. Where do you click to find the game. Have clicked the heading and all other bits, can't even find out where to start.
Biggs:
This game has a problem beeing too populare. Thats why its hard to load. The link provided id what you need, and refresh your browser till it starts load. you don't need to click anywhere elde than the "refresh" button. you will finally get it.

I think I need to get rid of the shirt before eating the Jelly... but I don't know what to do with it...

The t-shirt had to be in your inventory to finish. If it was not, the flower would not grow on the tree.

When you click on the LL link you will get a black screen with the GotMail logo at the top toward the left with yellow highlighted Japanese text near the middle, the yellow text looks like this

Don't click on it. keep refreshing that screen. Eventually you will get a black screen with a red line border and possilby a loading status bar that looks about 75% loaded. Just wait there and that status bar will change to a numerical % loaded. It takes awhile. I just loaded the game again and it took about an hour. This weekend, waits were 4 to 6 hours so I think the traffic is going down.
