10/10 super fun game could not stop playing it until I figured it out. I loved all of the elements.
this game is absolutely delightful! the puzzles were all very fun and clever, and difficult enough to be really engaging. sated the puzzlebeast in my soul. 10/10
i speedrun trace and got 3 min 34 sec. any faster times or opinions?
Amazing game, I wish sounds wouldn't break...
HELP!!!
I really hope colorbomb will respond to this, but what do i do with the kite, the piano the star puzzle and the submarine arm?
if you haven't solved the star puzzle, you need to do that first. Make sure you have 8 stars (there is one on the grid to begin with).
The piano, the submarine arm, and the kite will be important later.
thank you, i used a guide and figured it out, but what do i do with the planet puzzle in the tower, and the magicmatics and the drawer under neath the fish tank.
i figured out the mathemagics part, but still need help with the others
PLS respond. i really don't won't to leave the game unfinished. :)
once you've played mathemagic, you have all the information you need to solve the cabinet under the fish tank. (hint- pay attention to what happens when you defeat the enemies!) from there, the planet puzzle will make more sense
i did it, but does something happen when you do it, and how do i get the swan piece, and if anything, am i missing something?
i need help in the second room i have done the blue maze, and thats about it. :(
this is the best puzzle game i've ever played omfg that was so fun :DDD
Very kewl! 59 min, 9 sec, and 2763 clicks
this was such a nice and cozy little game and the pyramid was such an awesome ending puzzle, I can now see why it's a lot of ppl's favorite. first time playing an escape game in a long while and I really liked the vibes, variety of puzzles and difficulty level!
took about an hour, 3000ish clicks. really cool puzzles and some of em really blew my mind! (ie, the pyramid one) a few of them took some trial and error but I feel like it all flowed together really well
I still don't understand the stars. I must say, this one looks better than the definitive edition. SUper cozy. Wonderful work.
muito bom o jogo, eu fiquei preso nas parte dos corações acho que por já esta cansado e com sono, então acabei pegando algumas dicas dos comentários, mas como um admirador de jogos puzzle recomendo muito, espero q continuem fazendo mais.
The game was a lot of fun, I loved how interconnected the puzzles felt. My first time playing an escape room game after a very long time, and I enjoyed it even more than expected.
That said, I did run into some issues with inputting a couple of the solutions:
I played this amzing game with my siter and, wow !! It was really cool to play, almost too hard but when we finally succeed we felt like we really deserved it !! Thank youuu !!
Extremely important question, is there somewhere I can actually read Adventures of a Wayward Cosmonaut? The snippets I could make out were very cute, and I'd love to read more.
Another amazing release from Colorbomb. The puzzles were sometimes confusing, but I never had to use a walkthrough for this. Overall, the game's incredible, and I can't wait for the definitive edition release.

out of all the things that have never happened, this has never happened the most
i wish i could download this
Wonderful. I’ll do my best to gush about specific puzzles in a spoiler-free way: I loved the sigils, the pyramid, and the pentagram in particular. I see this is a Unity game; looks like everything is pre-rendered with some 3D elements superimposed (e.g. the kite?) Curious about the nuts & bolts.
yes, everything is pre-rendered!
There are no 3D elements super imposed, except there are lines drawn on the screen (the kite's string, the planetarium destination arrows, etc.)
I just realised the person on the bridge in the ending screen is the person in the space exploration book, and I think that's pretty neat. That also kind of implies that either the person we play as is the person in the book, or the person in the book lives here and we just happened to get stuck there. Also, I'm pretty sure the planet we are on is the planet/moon/space thing that is revolving around the purple planet. I really like this game, and I think I could have done better if I wasn't sleep deprived. awesome puzzles/10 👍
Absolutely fantastic, although I was very much anticipating an end similar to LODGE
The amount of times I tried I gig geegz
The other day while at a friend's place, I got a vivid flashback to this game after washing my hands in the kitchen. I realized her soap was the same scent of the candle I was burning the first time I played this. So if anyone wants to know what this place smells like, to me it's bath and body works' scent white tea and sage :)
Can we get a downloadable Windows version please?
incredible game
this is good btw https://progameguides.com/trace/how-to-beat-trace-escape-room-walkthrough-and-an... (i didnt use it but i wanted to chec smth when helping my friend)
I was racing a friend (who cheated!!!) and beat them lol with no walkthrough and only used one after to help them cus i couldnt remember everything)
yayayayai did it kinda ezy once i started ( not too ezy tho)
HELP I CANT GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM
bro... if u cant do that u defo cant do the rest
Great escape room game! Puzzles are challenging enough without being impossible. There's a good variety of puzzles and I love the note taking feature.
I absolutely loved this!! So many escape room games are a click-random-pixels type of experience, but this had logic to every single one of its steps!! Some puzzles took me a fair bit to figure out, but I always got them in the end :D Twas a real brain exercise!!
Also love the graphics style, its super neat! I assume its assembled of flat pictures instead of rendering the actual models, which is a really neat way to do it and really lowers the loading burden (which is excellent for my poor old laptop who really struggles with unoptimised games, but didn't even heat up with this one!)
Spoilers below!!
I actually figured out the second half of the blue maze early, I saw it was on a window and flipped it and tada! It worked!! Made me feel real smart when I went outside and realised I'd done it early >:3
I then felt way less smart when I had to use a calculator to figure out the maths.. I thought I understood BIDMAS but clearly not </3 Alas! Tis the glory of the future that we can just use calculators instead! :D
A tiny hiccup I noticed is that when the robo-monkey is on the kite string, looking back showed the umbrella open and mystery blue marks on the chair, when I hadn't actually unlocked that yet. Not really a dire bug since I couldn't read the blue smudge! Just a consistency issue, but it's pretty minor, I'm not complaining just thought I'd mention it in case ya looking to squish bugs!!
But yeah I really enjoyed this, tis a very well crafted escape room with actual depth and I ADORe the scenery, the surreal gigantic purple planet on white sands just genuinely gives such cool vibes <3
yayyy !!!! it felt so much longer lol. Ioooove long escape games like these ahhh
el juego no funciona con la figura del troll, NO DEJA SACAR LA ULTIMA ESTRELLA, SOLUCIONENLO YAAAAAAAAAAAAA! QUIERO SABER COMO TERMINA
found you through the castle claymation escape game! i enjoyed it so much. my time here was 1:38:51 yayy
amazing games!! took me though a trip down memory lane :)
Wow this was incredible!!! I got so stumped the first time i tried to play i had to get my brother to come help me and together we were able to finish! i like how my page of notes i took looks a lot like how i would imagine a wizard's notes would look lol
I am astonished! Not-so-easy puzzles, BEAUTIFUL graphics, and FUN! Thank you for TRACE!!!!
genuinely the best room escape hands down
fui demasiado inteligente para mi propio bien que me salte 4 puzzles
I cant enter the tower... is that a bug or am i missing something?
