I've had lots of fun so far but can't get out of 15298.
NM I got it.

Great game, aquaMat! Thanks for taking the time to keep us entertained. I wanted to report that in Rm. 15300 one can jump over the blue door without a key. Also, is the bottom level of 14498 a JS? I can't get off that level. Jack won't even attempt to put his hands up to grab the vine so I don't go down there any more.

Hi Jackie,
When I was testing, I thought 14498 was a JS, too, but it's not. Jack has to do some searching and try some things to find a way to reach the vine.
Good luck!

Hi, Jackie! aquamat has problems with his Internet connections so it might take a while before he answers.
I beta tested the mansion and totally missed the jump over the blue door. It will probably be corrected eventually.
As for room 14498, it is not a JS. You have to find a way, something to do and then you'll be able to reach the vine. It took me quite a while to figure it out, so don't despair. Good rule is to try EVERYTHING!
Cross posted Semi-Native!! ;D
Re: UNDERGROUND FORTRESS released !! - Jackie - 06-30-2008
Thanks Semi-Native and Rose. It's strange how one can try something about 100 times with no luck. Then you get some encouragement and BINGO -- solution found! Got the job done. Thanks again!

Hi Jackie,
thanks to Rose & Semi-Native who already answered your question....!
Indeed I'm having some trouble with my Internet connection....at the moment it works again....I hope it stays like that !
The issue with the blue door you mentioned is completely new to me (at this spot).
However, we know that - due to a certain
bugin the game - it is sometimes possible to jump over closed doors.
This problem occurred in a few other mansions as well....and in fact, also in one later room in UF. There I could do something against it.... in room 15300, unfortunately, it will be very hard to do something against it, as it is simply not possible to include a
low ceiling(above the door), without completely changing the room layout.
Maybe I can think of something else before the next UD..... if not, I just hope for the
fairnessof the players. In the end they'd be only cheatin' themselves.......
(Unfortunately now the secret is out......)
Thanks to everybody who is playing UF....and likes it !

Hi -
I am missing a blue key - I found two to the left of the Save on the 15000 level - I used one for the elevators to get the 2nd blue key in 15298. I used that key for the problem blue door to the right of the Save - 15300 - but can't find the next one for 15698. Any chance for a small hint?
Thanks.

This was a very clever mansion, which I enjoyed immensely.
The only thing I disliked is that it relies a lot on auditory clues and I play with no sound, so I got stumped and frustrated a lot. Still, I eventually managed to finish with something like 96% secrets.
So, my experience really isn't any comment on the mansion itself. The design was great and the puzzles and challenges were just challenging enough. Great job!

@ arevn:
Thanks a lot for your positive remarks, arevn !!
@ Sherry:
You should take a closer look (=search) in the area near the first blue door to the right of the save pedestal (= room 15300).
You opened the blue door in that room with a blue key that most people use for somewhere else..... (hint !).
BTW: As a rule.....almost all hidden keys (or other hidden secrets) are hinted at....in some form or another. It could be visually, or - as arevn has pointed out - aurally (or sonically) in other instances.
Sometimes even both...... 8-)
