oooh.... I'm just evil enough to bump this.

FYI some of Tak's animations are "not work friendly," in case you decide to explore his site. That is all.

Yay!

"Dear Escapers:

Thank you very much for playing "CRIMSON ROOM."

I have received about 90,000 mail, 70,000 from overseas and 20,000 from Japan, reporting the escape since Feb 7, 2004, which is the day it went public.
The number of the access to the game is about 20 times as many as of the mail received, so the access counts to the game are probably about 1,800,000. The actual access counts are unknown because we no longer log the access to the site.

I didn't expect so many people play this game, so I had thought making the list of escapers would be fairly simple. Obviously, doing so is no longer possible manually, and I am looking for another way to make the list. Of course, all mail are kept and I read the mail as many as possible. Although I only reply in special occasions.

I am very excited to know that most escapers enjoyed the experience and are looking forward to play next room. Most of comments in the mail are very agreeable, but there are some I disagree, and they make me little perplexed.

Therefore, I decided to write this article to answer some of frequent questions and suggestions.

Although the following does not contain "spoilers," it is only the inside story. So I hope you would read this only if interested."

Okay - the Blue Chamber is pretty darn impossible unless you have another telephone keypad to look at. I haven't run through it again, so I'm not sure whether drawing the face does anything or not. All in all - I think it's the weakest of the series.

Here's some more info from their new page:

As many have requested, "Blue Chamber" now becomes a shareware. We hope you enjoy it!

The title of the next room is "Pink Prison." It is aimed for not only gamers but also public people who don't usually play games, so everyone should have good time. This room will be released only to those who pay for the game for the first 1 or 2 months (to be determined) of its release while you can play it partly without payment. After that, it becomes a you-only-pay-if-you-like-it shareware like other rooms.

"Tangerine Room" will be released after "Pink Prison."

Help is on the way...

Yes, you have to spell something. Here's a clue. Don't ask us about what you have to spell. You should try a do-it-yourself approach to writing. I'm not trying to be snarky here so please don't take it that way. When you got it, you should understand what to do with the result.

I had the same problem. Try restarting the game and proceed as you did before. The thing you get might change so you need to play it twice. I don't know. I gave up and searched for a solve and found people that reloaded and got it to work.
