Gone but not forgotten





I think we\'re ready to clear the final room - time sure does fly when you\'re having fun, doesn\'t it? I\'ve assessed our fuel needs, and I think we\'re getting pretty close to a full tank. Come visit me at Skelly Manor and let\'s finish with a bang!

Fas
derp my brain...that was fun >_<
TracyH
I am having trouble with the book clearance. I can play mouse games well, but I am not good at space bar and arrow games. I so want to get to the next part of the puzzle.

help! stuck in room! found 3, map, first key (unlocked the drawer), 1, 6 and the mirror. where's the 2nd key? and I don't this... why can't I just jump out the window?
Myuu
Love this, great idea!!!
dovesandpixels
Go on hiatus for a few months on end, come back, and become immediately emotionally invested in subeta NPC's
Yuzuki
Sure, Jaxon, lock the screwdriver in the cabinet. Feed the key to the plant. What could possibly go wrong.

(Cringeworthy clichés of escape-the-room games aside, loved this step! You guys are doing an amazing job.)
Tali
I was literally stuck for 20 minutes before I realized that there was something else that I never even clicked on WOW SMOOTH TALI.
I'm just proud of myself for actually figuring it out on my own bahahaha.
This plot is fantastic btw.
HYPEBEAST
I didn't do it for Jaxon. (Hate that guy...) I did it to get more prizes!
Yarrow
my playing Escape games has finally payed off. I felt so smart when I solved it. ; w ;
Hemophage
What do I do after I get the second key? somebody Pm me :P
curbdirt
Turns out I cracked the safe code BEFORE I found the directions map of the room. Can I have a cookie?
Annika
Haha, when I was younger I was so addicted to escape games, now I could barely figure it out.
But really nice, the most challenging day so far. :)
Bailey_435
HAHA it was only after the safe closed again that I realized I didn't have to brute force it. DUH.
CLLeverton
That was super tough but after I stepped back and actually paid attention to the clues I got it:) Fantastic!
Hyena
Also, that Little Shop of Horrors reference...? I love you guys.
Hyena
Great, now I'm emotionally invested. But seriously, guys, THIS PLOT IS AMAZING. Thank you!! :heart:
Abaven
Also, I feel as though I am the only one that can let characters be friends instead of shipping them as soon as I see they know each other. XD
but hey, each to his own, right?
Abaven
I feel bad for Jaxon honestly. I completely understand why he has made such a strong attachment to Ian; Ian's the only one that can actually be there for Jaxon and probably the only one willing to deal with the antisocial, pumpkin recluse. Jaxon has probably lived most his life in this state (unless there was some kind of dramatic event that caused him to shut everyone out), so when he finally teams up with the scientist on a project, he realizes that he finally has a friend (maybe the first in a long time). So of course, having so much in common, and ridding Jaxon of loneliness, they become BFFs.
After I thought about this for a bit, I couldn't figure out who I wanted to hug more Jaxon (for his past, and whatever he went through to cause him to be like this) or Ian (for loosing his best friend and feeling absolutely responsible for it). It's touching really.
Courtesy
I got the book, but I'm still locked in the room. Is there another step or do I remained trapped for now?
BranDivah
Phew that was tough but I finally got out!
Carol STAFF
A couple of things:
1) The step is NOT glitched. If you're having trouble, there are plenty of resources here, on the forums, and on some of our help sites that can assist you in figuring out what you're missing!
2) Unfortunately, Subeta has NEVER claimed to be mobile or tablet-friendly. We're sorry if that makes things difficult for some of you, but this is nothing new.
3) Please make sure you're reaching out to friends and fellow Subetans as opposed to just making a ticket and hoping the staff will solve it for you - you'll get through the steps a lot faster, and you'll get a much more direct response. :)

You can do it guys! For Jaxon!! :D :D
Soleta
I'm impressed I solved that on my own. Got the code on the second time too even though I was just guessing (didn't get the hint about the order). Woo!
BlueLeafeon
I'm confused. :( I don't know what I should be doing. I found a key in the vent but everything else is like "What am I supposed to do? I've scanned everything."
HYPEBEAST
Looks like I'll be staying in the house forever. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.
Silverfish
@NaynaLovesMike
You should be able to switch between mobile and desktop version of the site if you have a tablet/phone
Lychnobia
I can't click on the wall :(
Vintage888
What am I supposed to do after finding the 2nd key???
Botanist
Ahh, poor guy. Don't worry Ian, we'll get your boyfriend back.
Frozen_Shade
Took us a while because we didn't find the clicky space on the lower corner of the wall-hanging for ages, so I was sort of "but where is two? Where is five?", but eh.
Talk about Plot twist. Really? Huh. I always thought he was a vampire.
I, uh... guess this explains why his official art has his waistline looking all... whispy?

Although... Ian and Jaxon are never going to be able to escape the crazy shippers after this. Ian, stop. You're encouraging them.
EndoKazuki
I liked this part, (though took me long after I opened the safe to find how can I get out.) I like the story line. And want Jaxon back soon. I miss him. :heart:
SpookyGhostKitten
This is such crap. Another quest I don't get to finish because I don't have a computer.
So just go on and finish without the mobile users. Very nice. Especially seeing as I have been such a long time user. And of course I'm sure there are many of us using the mobile site. It's not fair to is to have to be left out.

Solarstar17
IAN!! Stop being cute!! ;w; It's too much for mah poor heart, ya hear?

twitches; really wants to squeeze-hug Ian
Riu
mine won't move further in the plot either.. keeps saying something is "thumping in the master bedroom" and I go up there and nothing..
Kushinada
This is my favorite /part of the/ event thus far! I really like escape puzzles~ The character development is fab too.
helix
the safe was easy, the rest took a long time xD
Dr.PoisonIvy
Too bad the chair wont challenge me... : (
Pichuzilla
JAXIAN.
I CAN'T.
NOT THESE FEELS.
THE IAN PLUSHIE THAT WAS IN JAXON'S SAFE.
dying whale noise
Chrissacide
This is probably my favorite plot in Subeta history. :) Fantastic job. This site has come a long way in the last 8 years I've been here. I'm glad I'm still around to see this character development.
Adela555
I try so many number combinations and I'm still stuck ;_; I give up
DoomQueen
I still prefer IanxQuentin but loving this plot
ladyabsinthe317
It won't let click on anything in the room but the map and one pot help??? I've refreshed my browser twice
Baronbaracuda
@Lyall where is your plot thread to help me on this. Im stuck going back and forth into the same 2 rooms.
Thank you.
curbdirt
Horrendously-oh my god WHY
curbdirt
This thing has glitched for me so horrendou
Adela555
I can't open the safe :C
Amy_314
I really enjoyed that step! Very awesome job. :)
Life
I'm pretty sure I've never been more proud to solve a plot step by myself - that was a doozy, Subeta! :D

But wow my feels oh Jaxon :(
FenchFletcher
Is there a way to close the mirror? I can't figure out what to do and it's really frustrating me.
Linearaya
I loved this part! was so exciting, loved the explanation and Ian :P
Azzie
...Can someone go edit the TVTropes page so I don't have to?
After this I don't think this ship can be considered crack anymore.
Speiro
If my first hint wasn't enough, here's a more spoilery explanation of what you need to do in the room:

Major hint
Kenobi
Aaaah I knew it! Poor Ian I feel so awful for him, but on the other hand yeeeesssss my otp.
Kenobi
Aaaah I knew it! Poor Ian I feel so awful for him, but on the other hand yeeeesssss my otp.
Marko
"You agree to come back when Ian is ready to proceed."

Finally finished it. I knew that all that "escape the room" games would be usefull someday.
far
DAMMIT I SHIP IT
WHAT EVEN
Elvira
Do we have to beat the battleground challenger to proceed? I don't like dueling.
lovemakeup
i got the safe but still stuck am i missing something
TaintedTamer
Okay, now it's loaded and I'm so insanely frustrated at this stupid room that I feel like chucking my laptop into the wall. I've tried so many combinations that I'm honestly done with this.
far
I am confused.
Doodle
Oh man this is my favorite thing ever. ;v;
Hellbent
This plot gives new meaning to "till death do us part"

I ship it.
I ship it so hard.
help me.
Hellbent

lovemakeup
please help me what safe is there am i missing something :(
TaintedTamer
Okay, nothing is loading for me - the page is half loading at best before nothing. >.>
homestuck
oh my good, poor baby ;A;

i feel bad for Ian y.y (and I certainly understand why jaxon never liked his fangirls >w< i certainly do feel his pain ;p )
i hope they can be reunited uvu
Shanty
How do I break that safe? I'm so confused
Redeem_704
Phew! I finally finished it. Man, that was so frustrating but extremely satisfying once you completed it. Cx
lovemakeup
what safe am i sapose to put the numbers in i thought u click the pictures to get out and i am still stuck unless i opened the wrong drawer and i dont have another key :(
LinaSnape
I dont get it... i have every number, but i cant get out :(
SunnyBunny
this took me awhile wow
Rainey
Entered the combo # in the safe, now I am totally stuck, gahh!
lovemakeup
i clicked on the order of the numbers and the door is still locked am i doing something wrong please help
bandgeek452
I feel so silly! Got the combination on the second try. After the first attempt I realized what I did wrong! :/ Oh well. Got the plushie and some sp :)
Arbor
Oh my HECK, I FINALLY figured out who Ian reminds me of. I've been staring at his ridiculously poofy hair through every step of this plot, knowing that he looks like someone and just not being able to place it

but i finally figured it out

Zack Addy. LAB COAT, TERRIBLY INCOMPETENT WHILE BEING COMPLETELY COMPETENT, HAIR THAT NO ONE CAN TAKE SERIOUSLY.

Whew. Okay. Okay. Maybe I can stop squinting at him every single time his portrait is visible now that I've put my finger on it.
Speiro
a hint for anyone that's stuck
radariant
For people that are having trouble with the order of the clues, make sure you have all four number clues - one of those clues comes with something else which will let you find a clue detailing the order of them, although you'll have to look at it another way to get it right.
I hope that's not too spoilery? I really enjoyed this, I love adventure games and this section was perfectly in tune with it, especially the revelation about Jaxon (not specifically what we all expected either! But it makes sense), and I must admit I do like the emotional concern Ian has too, makes us care more about the plot in general. Loving it!
Speiro


I see Jaxon has his cousin's sense of humor.
villain
aaaaand still crushin on ian like a mofo
lovemakeup
i am stuck i have the numbers and pictures but i havent gotten out of the room can someone help me please :/
-Faith-
This is hurting my brain D: how on earth do you know the order omg!
Zay
Finally figured it out, I'm not very good at those "escape" games so I had some trouble lol.
Raggy
Im stuck in the room! I was also careless about finding the numbers and so it took too long I Guess :0(
Kelcifer
totally shipping jaxian now.
RMutt
Why does this game think I care about stripping screws? I really don't. If I am locked in a room, the last thing I'd be worrying about is "oh no, I might strip the screws!!"
Elena
@Cocaine i posted a guide to solve this room, it's the plot thread
bcsam
What a cute little plushie :)
Cocaine
Everyone is talking about this safe, and I'm totally lost. What safe? Only thing here that requires unlocking is the bottom drawer, and the bedroom door! Help!
Tsukemono
awesome puzzle
Ittermat
All those puzzle games I love to play have paid off! I made it without help =3

Thanks Layton!

Though I admit it took me a few to figure out what to do with the second key XD

Also I totally agree that Ian and Jaxon are adorable...

Cant wait for the next step! Keep up the great work guys!
ImmoralMermaid
Grrr. I can't figure out the number combo and I'm trying to get this part of the plot done before I have to leave D:
Laurie
Now that was awesome!
METROID

Lantern
That was the best plot step yet :D I love puzzles!
And yeah, Ian and Jaxon are totally sweet on eachother.
METROID

It's just so romantic...! ;3;
OtakuOokami
This latest task reminds me of an oldschool adventure game! Love, love, love, LOOOOVED it! ^_^
oKissyo
Ok, i'm confused. :/ I broke the safe code. Still confused as how to get out. Help?
omiai
ugh now i have the stuff from the safe but still can't get out the room...i feel a bit thick ;-;
Azzie
I am stuck. And I stubbornly refuse to guess until I can get it the first try
Snowflake
that was fun. just need to know that it's a 6 :)
Frankenchokies
Okay I've gotten out now, nevermind. ^.^
ramueller
After reading a few posts, I've realized I'm behind on a task? I don't know how that happened but oh well. I'm enjoying the plot nonetheless. ^^
Skolletta
That was fun. ^_^ Well thought out!
bulleta
Ian is kind of a dick, I don't want to help anymore
SCIENCE
More puzzles, MOAR >:D
janine
This has probably been my favourite of the rooms. Frustrating but fun.... and a nice new cuddle buddy.
Eiji
Th-that plushie... heart melts
Inknote
And ARGHHH. Is there a hint in here about what order the numbers are in? I mean, is it clockwise? Is it highest to lowest?
Kysnier
Woah.

Figuring out the code was the only thing I needed to look up (figured out what I had to do but without the code I was sort of stuck). I got all the numbers but couldn't figure an order to themXD

Good work =D
Frankenchokies
Can anyone tell me how to get OUT of the room once I've got the numbers? >.>
Natsume
There's a really obscure place you have to click to find the final number, so just make sure you've clicked EVERYTHING. ;3
Necolasa
Wish the other rooms could've been like this on top of what they were already, would have been way cooler!!!
marvel
All I'm really getting from this plot is "Ian and Jaxon are totally a couple and it's adorable".

Which makes it the best plot ever.
Heroine
That was really fun! Got stuck for a while but clicked everything again and it all worked out. :blush:
Jewel
That was a fun plot step ^^
Got the combination on first time
Inknote
Anyone else having trouble with the key? I've found all the numbers, but...I mean there is only one lock in the room right?
omiai
can anyone give me a clue? i found the numbers in 3 locations (key, etc) but i can't work out the 2nd number, and now i doubt any of them are in the right order, since ended up trying all the codes i could think of ;-;
KimC
It took a while and a lot of guesses but I made it. Poor Jaxon! Poor Ian! Am I alone in thinking they might be a couple?
Tserel
Jaxon made an Ian plushie in his free time. That is the cutest ;~;
Coiffwaff
Finally did it! Took longer than I expected but it was a lot of fun still.
Andrea
Damn didn't get it the first time, should have known better and thought about it more because judging from BotB I'm sure every single prize will depend on if you got it the first time or not r___r;

Poor Jaxon though ;n;n;
bulleta
what the gosh darn heck
if you get prizes for answering the safe the first time then i'm fucked i'll finish this plot with 0
Damon
Wow that was an intense step .... I cried a little near the end talking to Ian ;-;
MagnusTheRed
What. The. Fuck.
omiai
i have 3 of the 4 numbers... can't work out what the number from the picture is. i'm guessing the order is as the numbers of the slip of paper suggest, but i've tried most combos of the numbers and nothing seems to work ;-; so sad! and so thick,,,
MikiDaCrow
Well that was a fun challenge!
girlikecupcake
I'm loving this big time.
Natsume
@Frankenchokies
Thanks! :3 Turns out I didn't need it but I appreciate it!
Balloon
Dangit, now I am shipping Ian and Jaxon. I tried to resist... but dangit.

Loved the name of the plant too... "Audricus." Clever ;)
Frankenchokies
Okay I got the numbers and the order they go in but I... still can't get out. >.>
Lore
This is my favorite room by far~ I didn't need to look up and guides or anything! feels smart xD Also this ship is sailing itself, just saying
Vibidi
@Pistachio There is a clue c:
Brock
Finished this one and best sequence yet, metinks! {:
neko_558
Done, it was awesome :3
Pistachio
So I eventually figured out the order of the 4 numbers for the safe but was there a clue that told us the order or was it really just a guess once you had the numbers?
Natsume
wait.. maybe not
Calculus
Favorite room by far! Very fun! I even finished it all by myself without a plotline help. c:
janine
Bless. That was an ordeal.
Sylvanas
Okay so. I got it! That might've been the first escape the room game I've gotten out of without looking at any spoilers :p proud. Very, very amazingly done, though! I half expected Ian to have locked us there since we .. ~knew too much~. I'm glad you didn't make him into a villain (yet). Enjoying this SO much! <3
Mike
Not exactly what I was expecting, that's all I'll say ;)
Frankenchokies
Fenlai I mean. XP
BeastBelow
Oh that was awesome. Awesome puzzle and great development.
Frankenchokies
No problem!

And @Fenali:

http://subeta.net/explore/morostide/images/office/picture.png
Christina
Um. Is there any way to review what we found, because after like 10 minutes of clicking around/waiting for pages to load I kinda forget what I found and whatever hints they might have...
lovecraft
@Frankenchokies Thanks. Its been forever since I have been in school...and couldn't recall if that meant it was a 6 or 9. LOL
Natsume
Anyone got a picture of what was in the picture on the wall? I opened it and now I can't look at it again.. lol. I knew it was important damn it
Frankenchokies
@lovecraft

There's a line under it, so it's a 6. ^.^
miss.lola
Whew, that took a while but I got out! Awesome escape room concept. =D
lovecraft
Is it a 6 or a 9. ACK!?
janine
Gah! I swear, I've looks everywhere but I'm trapped! :(
Sylvanas
Anyone got a hint for after they've unlocked the safe?
Liara
Awesome step. w I love escape games.
Seerow
I have four number but yeah, nothing else seems to be doing anything.
starlesswinter
Hooray, sausage fingers gaming time! And I did it. :) Awaiting next plot point...
Seerow
It's a little sad that I'm not sure if I can't seem to move further with this step because I'm stupid or because Subeta isn't working properly =/
Tserel
For everyone: there are definitely 4 numbers! Just click on absolutely everything you can, don't leave anything unclicked.
manipulation
i kinda cant use the key
bulleta
who was it that guessed escape game when the plot started? ding ding ding ding!
dovesandpixels
Oh god I am terrible at room escapes. I'm sure if I make enough noise Ian will come and get me, right? :T
Georgie
I have clicked on the things. Found the number 1 and a locked drawer. THe picture in the other room. And a door that needs a screwdriver.
Pistachio
I found the paper with a 3 on it but I've clicked on everything else I can find that's clickable and nothing else is happening
Tserel
Do we.... need to look at the picture for the order? I clicked on it and now I can't see the picture again :c
Sylvanas
@Georgie - try clicking things in the room you're in
Georgie
I am stuck in a loop of rooms with arrows that just lead to another room that doesn't go anywhere
Sylvanas
Just when I was about to go to sleep, darn it ;)
Mowmow16
I think I may have missed something.. Mine is still stuck at the beginning when Ian is suspected of hiding something. It won't move on in the plot.
Tserel
Hmm. This step is interesting.
Ice
Woot!
