Understandable, silksong was announced in 2019 (we still don't even have an exact year of release and no news since 372 days) I will probably die before it comes out
secret keys just forcefully turn the room into what the key is for, it's not that you have to find the "secret" room for the key, the key MAKES the "secret" room
This game looks REALLY good, and incredibly meticulously planned and designed. I didn't even know this was a demo until like halfway through this video where the big underground server room told you to screw off, haha. Absolutely can't wait for the release of this game. Those cutscenes with mr. Genie in the box are, somehow, RIDICULOUSLY good at making me excited for what comes next. They make the game feel so much larger, like there's a whole deeper, sinister plot like in the book series I used to love, 39 Clues. I wonder how many different cutscenes there are. And that weird note in the bunker- Was that trying to imply that there are like, other people STUCK in the shifting manor, lost?! And it's been attacked by a 'red guard'?? AHHHH I wanna see more!!!
So, one thing I think I might have pieced together is that, yes Blue Prince is a word play off of Blueprints yes. But if you combine that logic with the book Red Prince, and you look at the Nursery, there are two beds. Why would you need two beds if it was just the Red Prince? The truth is, it isn't just the Red Prince, you play as the twin brother, the Blue Prince. Lovely bit of work around that
This is somewhat spoilery but here's what I pieced from the bits of lore I found myself and saw in another playthrough: You play as Simon, son of Mary, who is Herbert's (the dead guy) niece. Mary is/was a writer and wrote under a pen name Marion Marigold, making her the author of the Red Prince. In the Archives, you get a bit of lore about her saying she wrote it for her son (aka you) but the public interpreted it to have a deeper political message. There was also something about her disappearance around the time of a big jewel heist, though details escape me. The two red letters I've seen (one in the Boudoir safe and one in the Shelter safe) also addressed her disappearance/(faked and "covered up") death. Another puzzle also points us to the fact that there are eight safes total, so now I'm making the assumption that there's a red letter in each (except one is going to be missing/inaccessible?) In the Bunk Room you also find Herbert's childhood diary, mentioning his brother Simon, as well as having Simon's notes in it. Interestingly, they are written in red. Not sure what any of this means red prince-blue prince wise, but presumably you are that Simon's grandson. (Which could probably be confirmed by the family tree on the wall of the Orchard's shed, but I didn't get a good look at it)
@mel-burnes H.S. sinclair. Either sinka or simon. Also Mary is a heiress to sinka, company who's gudgets you find around the house. Letter in drawing room spells outright that Sinclair helped her organize the hideout, Mary with her friends 100% snatched that red ruby crown from royal family. There's also something very wrong with dates, Simon is supposed to be 7/8 years old in 87, assuming game is in 93 we're 13/14 y.o. but out character model is clearly older
@@jaazz90 considering that we know of brother Simon and Herbie, and that there's no brother mentioned for the mc, it's likely that Simon is Herbert's brother, which also makes it unlikely that S. stands for Simon as well (who'd give the middle name of one child to its sibling or vice versa)
It hurts, knowing that he had the broken lever _and_ open space along the perimeter to get the greenhouse _and_ a path to the south side of the antechamber. Everything was right there for the taking...
21:45 that one is really interesting. the driveway is presumably in front of the garage. so if that once can trigger a lot = metric ton of diggable spots for the shovel
I think i got the drawings on the wall!! [coat]-cot. [crown]-crow. I think "letter" means like an alphabetical letter, and since they're all in pairs, and only one is missing, you can figure out what the last drawing is if you find the lone one.
@@jimmyjon_ no, I'm pretty sure he meant that in the same way that between pairs of pictures there's always a letter (symbol) missing, there is also a missing letter (written message) missing among the 8 red letters. Just points you towards the fact that there's something with the red letters AND with the paintings
The fact that you're being held back by it being a demo is outright painful! It really is so much deeper than I first gave it credit for and now I can't wait to see deeper exploration, but that's only worthwhile with the full release, argh
I know, I feel like once the full game releases we'll have a sea to sky island type release where every episode is an event and I rewatch it like 6 times
not sure if you want hints so i am going to hide it at 8:37 you interact with a locked door nad hover over button 'special keys' text 'secret garden key' shows up perhaps this allows you to draft that room (maybe after honsulting ground keepers notes)
i tried the demo after watching your videos and was luckily able to get to the final room with a combo of "everytime you draft a red room, set your steps to 40" and getting a lot of trucks in the beginning with the sledgehammer. That is probably one of reasons for the red/blue/green rooms mechanic since there is also a room called aquarium that counts as one of all colors Spoilers : You can see the rooms you have drafted before in the glossary in settings iirc Getting to the final room end the demo as if you completed 4 days but there is a story that plays The lever can be used to fix the wing gardens that is a room unlocked with the special key which together unlocks one side of the antichamber There is a treasure map item that make a certain room in the grid contain a treasure i.e.(2 second room in rank 6) but i could not unlock it that day and also not sure if the room changes The dark room can be repowered using the breaker room but you have to visit the dark room first for the power to trip first There is also a puzzle about the breaker room for the indicator just above the keycard power switch Shovel op!!!
Yes those experiments are great for some consistency but I feel like you still have to get lucky with your drafts a lot. On my first day of the demo I was able to open the antechamber from all 3 sides, fill every grid space with a room except 1 corner, and freeze 20 gems and 80+ coins for the next day. Then I played the next 3 days just for fun but I didnt even get past rank 4 on all of them
There's so much to keep track of in this game, I don't blame you for forgetting to check the shelter's radiation monitor after activating the laboratory's experiment
SPOILERS ALSO I HAVE NOT WATCHED THE VIDEO YET SO I DONT KNOW IF HE FOUDN THIS. I got a greenhouse room, it had a switch with a strange image above it, I used a broken lever on it, activated it, and it lifted the block off of the south door of room 46
The benefit of the red rooms is usually that they have a lot of doors, so the effects sucl, but they help you with pathing to the antechamber. Also there may be some synergies like with the green rooms, idk.
cant believe they made a demo this addicting with secrets around every corner and then not release the full version for a few months. super excited to see you play it!
You can actually use special keys, like the Secret Garden key, on any locked doors. I was screaming at my monitor for you to figure that out. However, I must also applaud you for uncovering areas I haven't seen before. Namely the Blackbridge Grotto, and (most importantly) the Apple Orchard. I must've tried brute-forcing that damned padlock for a good 30 minutes! Though, there are still many things I have found that you have yet to. Incredible how our experiences are so different, and this is only the demo! (Small-ish hint ahead) That burning glass would be useful in poorly lit places.
This game has so many mysteries wrapped up in it on top of what seems good roguelite gameplay. I can't wait for the full release to come out. I hope the devs give lots of satisfying mystery content to puzzle out, because it really has the potential there.
I hope the full version comes out soon. First I was "hm, ok. Just another random rogue light thingy. Boring" but after I saw it has DEEP puzzles, I cannot wait for more. Thank you for bringing my attention to this "gem" of a game. And I am a bit sad that we did not saw if you could dig something in the garden or not.
Watching these vids made me so excited to try the demo myself, I got basically two dud days and then a super duper lucky third one and actually got into the antechamber- and then the demo kicks you out anyway! Still really cool though and super excited for the full game, it just feels like secrets on secrets
I havent watched the whole thing yet but i really wonder since you had gotten the security card at the start if you could turn on maximum security to guarantee you could go through doors without keys.
When I first saw someone playing this game, it seemed pretty shallow and I wasn't overly impressed, but you're play through has proven that impression completely wrong and now I'm really looking forward to the full release.
This game FEELS like the next animal well... which kinda sucks because Il never be able to have the brain capabilties to fully experience it in person, luckily we got Tyler to do it for us
Hey Tyler I don't know how much you read the comments but I just joined this series by the playlist of it and the first video of it is the one that should be second and vice versa.
You know if you have the Coat Check, couldn't you have deposit your whole inventory there. Like, instead of just deposit just the special key, you could have also deposit the useful tools so you don't have to recollect them every time, so long you're able to reach it.
They have already stated the demo saves will not carry over. But since most of it is knowledge gated, I don't think it'll be too hard to "catch up" easily
This game looks sick! Immediate full price buy if the final product is as good as they are making the demo seem to be. I’m getting serious Myst vibes… (yes I’m that old…)
This game seems to need way too much smarts for me but i cant wait to see you make videos on it (since it seems you like playing the game as much as i enjoyed watching)
So normally i watch you play puzzle games and I wouldn't buy them myself after watching you play because i know the solutions. HOWEVER this game is unique enough and has enough moving parts to where it is probably one of 2 games I'll own that you've played. The other is: Islands of Insight
Get yourself caught up on the whole Blue Prince journey here! ruclips.net/p/PLIwiAebpd5CJlpO2VPGjdUa5uzgywpULW
FIRST HERE ( by here i do not mean comment section)
You are the streamer we want to watch 100% this… you are a natural detective.
Please put parentesis in math operations
Tyler please keep playing, you can actually beat the demo, you just need to figure out how to unlock the Antechamber
This demo is so great, it took me hours just to finish the demo and I am so stoked for the full version. Really enjoying your videos on it.
Just realised that "Blue Prince" is a word play on "Blueprints"
Literally, same. Took long enough XD
just realized that reading this comment...
I WAS ABOUT THE COMMENT THE EXACT SAME THING, SCROLLED DOWN, SAW THIS. LMAOOOOOO
I figured that out about 5-10 minutes into episode one
the only reason i realized it immediately was because i misread it as blueprints the first time LOL
the lack of a release date is KILLING me
Spring 2025 is all I need to know. Happy to wait the time it takes for it to be finished the right way.
Understandable, silksong was announced in 2019 (we still don't even have an exact year of release and no news since 372 days)
I will probably die before it comes out
I'm so hyped, my boyfriend has been waiting on silksong so now I can complain about a game alongside him
@@whatevername4873 Not for long, because when this releases, we'll still be waiting for Silksong.
Man, same. Obviously I want them to release it when it is ready, but damn, can't wait
secret keys just forcefully turn the room into what the key is for, it's not that you have to find the "secret" room for the key, the key MAKES the "secret" room
Yep. Secret garden key can only be used in certain situations, but if you try the secret garden key on enough doors it'll eventually unlock one.
This game looks REALLY good, and incredibly meticulously planned and designed. I didn't even know this was a demo until like halfway through this video where the big underground server room told you to screw off, haha.
Absolutely can't wait for the release of this game. Those cutscenes with mr. Genie in the box are, somehow, RIDICULOUSLY good at making me excited for what comes next.

And that weird note in the bunker- Was that trying to imply that there are like, other people STUCK in the shifting manor, lost?! And it's been attacked by a 'red guard'?? AHHHH I wanna see more!!!
16:04 missing letters? And then a picture of a crow and a crown. A crow is a crown with one missing letter
@@thisguy6593 - think you're right
I also saw "flan" and "fan" in the weights room
So I assume there's a message between the rooms?
17:35 "coat" and "cot", I wonder if the missing letters spell something
17:35 and is that coat and a cot? I think that's what it's called in English?
pay attention to the paintings, the puzzle is really cool
4:49 has bridge and bride, and 5:19 has bat and bath!
EDIT: oh man there's SO many of these lol
So, one thing I think I might have pieced together is that, yes Blue Prince is a word play off of Blueprints yes. But if you combine that logic with the book Red Prince, and you look at the Nursery, there are two beds. Why would you need two beds if it was just the Red Prince? The truth is, it isn't just the Red Prince, you play as the twin brother, the Blue Prince. Lovely bit of work around that
Somthing tells me " yea but no"
@samueljackson5314 There's something in the bunk bed room that helps clear that up, look out for the details inside.
This is somewhat spoilery but here's what I pieced from the bits of lore I found myself and saw in another playthrough:
You play as Simon, son of Mary, who is Herbert's (the dead guy) niece.
Mary is/was a writer and wrote under a pen name Marion Marigold, making her the author of the Red Prince. In the Archives, you get a bit of lore about her saying she wrote it for her son (aka you) but the public interpreted it to have a deeper political message. There was also something about her disappearance around the time of a big jewel heist, though details escape me.

Or there are 8 in total and one is missing, each representing a letter? Unsure though.
@brutusthebear9050 i think in that fortune telling he said there was one missing. but I think you're right, it will make a word at the end.
@@jimmyjon_ no, I'm pretty sure he meant that in the same way that between pairs of pictures there's always a letter (symbol) missing, there is also a missing letter (written message) missing among the 8 red letters.

apples and bananas give extra steps with salt from the saltshaker? Id be stepping away from anyone who eats like that
I salted your apples and bananas with sugar
You should try that, it isn't as bad as you think it is.
Actually, if you get a sour variety of apple (i.e. Granny Smith) and put a little bit of salt on it, it's really good.
I literally need to see you play 100 hours of this game
I know, I feel like once the full game releases we'll have a sea to sky island type release where every episode is an event and I rewatch it like 6 times
11:20 You can set the setting for security door to appear more often since you have a keycard
i JUST got that blue prince is meant to sound like blue prints. literally as he said it it clicked. how did it take this long
This is becoming my favorite series you have done in a long time
not sure if you want hints so i am going to hide it
at 8:37 you interact with a locked door nad hover over button 'special keys' text 'secret garden key' shows up perhaps this allows you to draft that room (maybe after honsulting ground keepers notes)
he did that in the last video, and he couldnt draft anything special.
@@AWandaMain green rooms can only be drafted on the edges
There's so much to this game and it's already so good! So hyped for the full release!

Spoilers :
You can see the rooms you have drafted before in the glossary in settings iirc
Getting to the final room end the demo as if you completed 4 days but there is a story that plays
The lever can be used to fix the wing gardens that is a room unlocked with the special key which together unlocks one side of the antichamber
There is a treasure map item that make a certain room in the grid contain a treasure i.e.(2 second room in rank 6) but i could not unlock it that day and also not sure if the room changes

Yay! More of an amazingly unique game played by an amazing RUclipsr! 😊 having played Mimic Logic really helps with those box puzzles lol!
This is still just the demo!? Wow! Theres so much!

Wow, this game is BREATHTAKING! So original, so flavorful, so interesting, so surprising, so so good!
13:20 it hurts so much seeing him miss digable spots with the shovel
I don't think he ever had a shovel on this day
@@mambodog5322 Sadly there was one in the pool room that he missed ( 14:00 ) :( he had MANY diggable spots
Nooooo!! I want more! This is so good, I can't wait until the full game comes out and to follow more of Tylers discoveries.
I can't wait for this game to come out! The setting and gameplay are amazing and the puzzles are all incredibly clever.
I love this game so much
I'm so glad this game has permanent upgrades so you can explore it further
Wait for full release, I cant wait to be hooked on a long series of this discovering tons of new secrets
This is my most anticipated game for 2025, and 2025 already seems LOADED with good stuff.
Secret garden key is a special key, pls try
So glad you're continuuing!
this game is insane, I'm always baffled it's still a demo
It's a shame to see the series (temporarily) stopped, but i'm super excited for this game to fully release. I can't wait to play the full game
Thank you for playing the demo, it was fun 😊, exciting 😮 and entertaining🎉 to watch, great job. 👏🏻❤
THIS IS JUST THE DEMO????
Glad to now you will do a full series in the future
I havent watched the whole thing yet but i really wonder since you had gotten the security card at the start if you could turn on maximum security to guarantee you could go through doors without keys.
this game is incredible i played demo bc of these vids ! so fun
This is one of the coolest games I’ve seen in a while, salivating for the full release.
Just dropping in to comment and like. You convinced my to play the game, so will stay spoiler free until it releases I think.
Please come back to this once it fully releases!
The Alzara sequences are sick.
When I first saw someone playing this game, it seemed pretty shallow and I wasn't overly impressed, but you're play through has proven that impression completely wrong and now I'm really looking forward to the full release.
SO looking forward to the full game
I absolutely love this game I can’t wait to play it when it comes out
This game is incredible! Can't wait to purchase it once it gets released!
Full release!! Come back to this!!
I'm pretty sure we need to fill mansion with rooms to make 45 rooms, and then 46th will appear
This is going on my wishlist for sure.
This game FEELS like the next animal well... which kinda sucks because Il never be able to have the brain capabilties to fully experience it in person, luckily we got Tyler to do it for us
In the kid's room: coat and cot
Hey Tyler I don't know how much you read the comments but I just joined this series by the playlist of it and the first video of it is the one that should be second and vice versa.
I need to see more of this
The sun dial tells you what time it is…
You know if you have the Coat Check, couldn't you have deposit your whole inventory there. Like, instead of just deposit just the special key, you could have also deposit the useful tools so you don't have to recollect them every time, so long you're able to reach it.
oh my goodness, this game is insane! this may be one of the few games i play before i watch tyler
This game is so awesome
me when 4:22 math is wrong
I'm confused.
Please do wait for the full game to come out, will be happy to wait for the proper experience.
cannot wait for the full release
I honestly hope that the full game allows for save data to be transferred
They have already stated the demo saves will not carry over. But since most of it is knowledge gated, I don't think it'll be too hard to "catch up" easily
Cant wait for the full game
8:00 you are now to give tithes 😂
This game is actually so cool
You... you salted your bananas...
I really want to watch this video
But I'm saving my self for when the I buy it
9:53 þis moment _hurts_ me.
can't wait for release !
Can't wait for this game.
I'm loving this game!!
wait, all of this was just a demo?
The price tag did NOT do anything.
Love this series!!
This game is so intriguing
Mm a salty apple to give me extra steps.
God I love Alzara he's so cool
This game looks sick! Immediate full price buy if the final product is as good as they are making the demo seem to be. I’m getting serious Myst vibes… (yes I’m that old…)
This game seems to need way too much smarts for me but i cant wait to see you make videos on it (since it seems you like playing the game as much as i enjoyed watching)
The great Alzara alone makes this game worth it wtf
4:09 editor is from NA?
Aah the gamble of wanting to see more pf this game, and not wanting to get things i didnt find spoiled 😅
If that's a concern for you, I'd recommend not taking the gamble on this episode. So many discoveries this episode.
So normally i watch you play puzzle games and I wouldn't buy them myself after watching you play because i know the solutions. HOWEVER this game is unique enough and has enough moving parts to where it is probably one of 2 games I'll own that you've played.
The other is: Islands of Insight
I forgot this was actually a demo lol
Math is not mathin' right there 4:13 editor...
Tyler said it correctly in the voiceover too, but the editor didnt add the brackets smh😭
Why did it take 3 episodes to realize "blue prince" is a homophone of "blueprints"
love this game i need more
I just realized blue prince sounds like “Blueprints.” Wonder if that means anything
This is going to be the 2025 game of the year its already so good
Holy shit this game is so deep
