Each objective have hints, and you don't actually have to understand each tool, you get the feel and flow of things as you go experimenting. Objectives are akin to 'x marks' on a map- but they only appear on a specific view, a specific range of color, sound and so on.

Another dial makes everything vibrate and move according to sound, and other dials change the sound (also tied to colors). Turn one radial button up and the mountains become peaks, turn in down and its a 2d map, even down and the mountains are now canions. Theres a map, a landscape seemly infinite (Probably loop, might be like a planet), but we don't see it like a specific 2d or 3d map. Imagine a sonar or radio, where you have to fiddle with chanels and wavelengths to find what you're looking for- multiply those throught a range of soundvisual behaviours and you get Mu Cartographer. It feels like a puzzle game but its a navigation game (the only one i know of) - only thing is instead of a map, compass and the like we're exploring a alien landscape with equally alien tools Mu cartographer is a puzzle, like a puzzle box - but that wouldn't fit either Its not like single-puzzle games (where levels are the same puzzle only harder) nor like multi puzzle ones (that are random puzzles barely tied together). Its a experimental game only for us, because its all about experimenting with the game. Or maybe it's only visible if you don't have the final mode active? I wish those who had seen it would give more detail about the state of the machine when it was visible.Its like NOTHING i ever saw on gaming- and of all the avant gard/experimental indies ive seen (majority aiming at art or experience instead of 'game') this is probably the most suscessful in tieing things together. Like, when you do that and 'win', it escapes. I wonder if it becomes impossible to find Baak if you've found the others. By 'map' you mean the different color palettes you can select, right? To find the hidden character you have to search on a different map than the one that you find the three main characters (though I do not remember which one).īut they're in every map.

I as well found the hidden character Baak before I even found the Fawcetts and Rimmel. As for a hidden character, I'm sceptical, since the person claiming it exists can't provide anything besides the claim. I looked over the wikipedia article, but found no real clues that would lead to some conclusive ending.
