Escape Mind: Walkthrough with 100% Achievements

Escape Mind is a pretty short point and click adventure game with a few puzzles. I’ve written this walkthrough in the order I did the tasks in the game, but it’s totally possible that there’s a better or more straightforward way to do things. If you discover one, feel free to comment and I’ll add your information with credit. Also, please comment if you catch any errors I’ve made.

NOTE: For the achievement “LET THERE BE LIGHT!” I’ve advised you to snuff out the candles that are already lit and re-light them with the matches. I don’t actually know for sure that you need to do this, or if it’s good enough to just light the unlit candles. I put these directions here just to be safe.

ACHIEVEMENT: 100 CLICKS! – This achievement is self-explanatory and will easily be unlocked probably within the first few minutes of playing the game.

Click on the candle flame to snuff it out, then use the matches to re-light it.
Click on the crow that appears outside the window, then take the strange amulet it drops.
Click on the lizard.

Go left.
Snuff and re-light the candle.

Light the candle.
Click the plant three times and take the blue scarab.
Take the sign piece.
Click on the wooden planks over the door to remove them.
Keep clicking the spider until it lands in the web, the click it again.

Spider Puzzle

The best way I found to complete this one is to pay attention to the next strand and whether it moves up or down. For the strands that move upward, enter them from the bottom of the screen. Enter the downward moving strands from the top part of the screen. Wait until right after a drop falls, then move right immediately after.

Take the black widow.
Go up.
Light the three candles. Take note of the drawing on the wall, and the word written under the candles.
There’s a cluster of red mushrooms in the left corner. Click on it, and take the mushroom that falls to the floor.

Door Puzzle

It’s the same as the game Lights Out. I didn’t manage to keep track of the exact moves I used to solve it, sorry! It shouldn’t be hard with trial and error, but if anyone does have an exact solution, post a comment and I’ll add it here with credit.

After you open the door, you win the game. You should also have all the achievements. Congratulations.
