comment
You are locked in an unfamiliar bathroom. And whoever lives here must be overly enamoured of logic puzzles...Trace is a free to play, HTML5 Room Escape Game by colorbomb. Set on an alien planet and somewhat Myst-like, it contains very little in the way of a story - the player never learns what they're doing inside a bungalow in outer space, how they came to be there or why they're escaping - but quite a lot of juicy puzzles.An interesting feature is the in-game camera carried by PC, with 6 slots for photos of things that may be useful later.Has absolutely nothing to do with the webcomic.

Enter Solution Here: There's a number of puzzles that consist of discovering some sort of a password. Some of them are easy, some are not.

Beautiful Void: There's a cozy little house and a small tower on a rather nice swatch of an alien planet. The PC is the only person there, no animals whatsoever appear, the in-game written documents are all heavily stained and unreadable, and while the house has electrical power, there's nothing to indicate where it comes from.

Schizo Tech: There's a battered-up computer, a wooden planetarium, tiny robots, lots of old-fashioned lightbulbs, and the whole thing takes place on an alien planet. Space travel is definitely possible in the setting.

Moon Logic Puzzle
 Trace (Video Game) / int_558ae6f6
comment
Moon Logic Puzzle: Some of the puzzles are self-contained and make perfect sense (once you get past the practicality of locking one's house with a logic puzzle). Several require you to remember an easily-missed thing half the game world away (such as the wheel on the patio, where you need to enter the arrangement of the plants in the bathroom - which you can no longer access at the moment or to make rather bizarre inferences. There's also a drawer that only opens if you open the other drawers in a certain order and a tiny piano that you have to play the password on . Also, you obtain a screwdriver by solving two consecutive difficult puzzles, at which point it's easy to forget why you needed a screwdriver in the first place.

comment
You Wake Up in a Room: You begin the game locked in a bathroom. How you got to be there, or your connection to whoever lives (or lived) in the house, is never explained. The bathroom serves as a warm-up of sorts - you have to solve all the puzzles in it to enter the main game area.

Guide Dang It!

comment
Guide Dang It!: An egregious instance. You can, in fact, leave the room at the ground floor of the tower... by clicking on the puzzle, even unsolved, because it's on the door and the player character apparently turned around after entering.

Goodies in the Toilets: The toilet is locked with a pentagonal padlock and you can't open it until you come back to the bathroom with a matching key, open the "toilet" and discover it is the exit.

comment
All Planets Are Earth-Like: Despite the planet (or the moon, as the taxt underneath the game says) being obviously in another solar system, it has breathable atmosphere, ordinary sand and sandstone, and lush fronds (possibly responsible for the atmosphere).

Minigame: Three minigames are accessed through the in-game computer (on the desk in the largest room), after entering passwords: two "control the tiny robot" games (you also need to obtain the robots and put them in the right positions first), and "Mathemagic".

comment
Who Forgot The Lights?: The rooms inside the tower (both ground floor and upstairs) are rather dark, too dark to be readable on some monitors especially that one of the puzzles in the ground floor room consists of turning the lights off.
