Legend of Grimrock, is it good?

Closed
AzureKyte

I haven't been able to try it yet (FFFFUUUUU Dial-Up), but to promote it's launch I'm giving away a copy of the game to one lucky (or clever) player.

To enter the giveaway, you must solve this puzzle.

There are two components to this puzzle, and the first is listed below.

To begin with, you must retrieve five of the numbers situated throughout this map.

Have a nice, Griddy map, for your perusal

Your start point may be any of the squares marked with S?, however, there is only one true starting point, which these instructions work from.

A map is hardly much help without some instructions, right?

After getting all the required numbers, your task is partway done! ...But what are these numbers for? Well, you'll probably be able to figure it out.

Oh, one last thing. The numbers aren't necessarily in the same order they are for the code. Just as in traditional RPGs and Roguelikes, you're gonna need to "reroll" and get lucky ;)

I had done what I think is now the correct thing to do about 45 mins ago and thought that that wasn't right :(
Well at least now I just have to find the order now

And being 4am, I can't think anymore. I'll probably forget about it when I wake up in the morning anyway, thanks for the giveaway anyway.

People still use dial-up? They still offer that service?

Technically, no. But, since certain relatives of mine enjoy downloading over our current quota, the speed's been shaped something horrendous.

Is the random 'rerolling' really just going to be based on luck?

Of course not, but It's based on your luck, getting the right combination.

After spending more than a couple hours last night in Grimrock, I have to say that it's damn good and does live up to the hype. Ten years in development, but this ain't no DNF.

I saw a few live streams of this today and it looks interesting. I need to try it before I can give myself a proper chance to review but I will be buying it as soon as I can

I have gotten the numbers now, but there's too many to be a giveaway code. What am I supposed to do?

Yeah I have the 5 and tried some "obvious" permutations but bugger running through an expected average 60 tries to get it. :/

Heck, I already have Grimrock, just doing the puzzle for fun. :p

I think i'm having trouble following the instructions for the map... I can't seem to end up with a path to my right... (for the first ''path'') Am i doing it wrong ? Could someone explain to me how to floow these instructions ? Like, if he says turn right, do i simply turn right and not go trough the door or do i go trough the door ?
