Level 35: Death in Sakkara: Episode 3
Continuing in my ongoing review of this game, I just finished Episode 3 Death in Sakkara (reviewed previously here (Ep. 1) and here (Ep. 2)). If you want to be completely spoiler-free, I suggest you catch up and read those reviews (and play those episodes, of course) first. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
All set? Fabulous. In this episode, Charles Fox first has to escape from a very hairy situation by solving a puzzle with instructions that are vague, at best. Fortunately, if you get the puzzle wrong, you die… but immediately get to retry the episode. Me? I died about six times before I figured it out, through a combination of luck and brute force.
When you escape, you’re brought back to your room. This is where the real difficulty begins. I must have spent, oh… a long time, we’ll say, trying all variations of this one. Simply put, you are looking through a telescope at stars, and with your mouse you can “connect the dots” with the stars, so to speak. You just need to do the right ones. I won’t spoil things for you, but if anyone wants a tip, hit me up with a comment.
When you solve it, it’s an A-ha! moment, and back to the desert you go! But what’s this?
Only the biggest plot surprise in any online game I’ve ever played. Brilliant!

The criticisms of my students would serve as a good warning to visitors of Seeworthy: she talks too fast, she's too hard on us, she assigns too much work, and you have to be a dyke to get a good grade.
In other words, I'm a big, fat, queer, feminist meanie, and I am totally out to get you. Graaagh!
[…] At last! The final episode! This is the review of the final installment - Episode 4 - of the edu-tainment adventure game Death in Sakkara (see prior reviews here (Ep. 1) and here (Ep. 2) and here(Ep.3)). If you want to preserve yourself from spoiling, go ahead and play the first three episodes. […]
well, I looked at several forums and I still cannot figure it out the thing with the stars…they told me it’s in the left dawn area…I cannot find anything, do you have a PRTSCRN for me or something? thanks!
I can’t do the stars at all! i can do the lines at the sides but then they just disappear, why aren’t there any instructions on the damn page!? it is getting very frustrating indeed. i look in the middle of the sky and all i see is a bunch of stars that look the same i can’t get any perspective at all
The damn star map!
How can I connet the dots?They disappeared too quicklyy.
