Oh, I missed an area completely. The Aleph Stone exhibit, aahhm, where is that and how to get there ??
Please, a hint, please !!

It's in the Gallery of Mathematical Curiosities--when you come down the stairs from the penthouse to the Gallery, take a left and go through the pickable door.
The exhibit is locked, but I think you'll find a way in...

thank you very much, trefoilknot - I'm on my way
Cheerio

Goodevening, having a blast with this great fm.
I think i found a bug, i`m in the office with the cubes, i think i have the right code but the safe won`t open???
Any help please...

Hi T-Linkz,
So glad you're enjoying it! It's quite possible you're right. Have you moved the cubes quite a number of times, and are any of them a little crooked?
If so, this is a recently discovered bug, which will be fixed momentarily. In the meantime, if you have a recent save from before you started messing with the cubes, fire that up, and enter the proper combo without a lot of extraneous button presses.
Sorry for the inconvenience :angel:
UPDATE: Issue fixed in v1.05. The cubes now only turn right, eliminating the issue where they become crooked from repeated left turns.

@trefoilknot
Now I have most of the important things done. Thank you for your help. Getting the black Stone was funny - some paintings can be really useful !
But before I end the game I would like to solve some other questions:
1). there is a locked door near the main entrance; it is at the top of a very narrow staircase. Where can I find the key to this door?
2). I did not solve the color-button-puzzle in the administration area. I read about hints to this puzzle that can be found in the closed platonic gem exhibit. How do I get there? In the anteroom is an openable window and there are convenient gargoyles outside, but the gap a bit farther on is too big, I can't manage to jump to the next group in order to reach the south facade where a broken window is, which could be the desired entrance ...
3). In the Burrick Pub I returned the 8-ball and got a small reward. But the frame with the queues is still highlighting, so I guess there is something additional to find/to do?
4). In the Hammerite exhibit are 2 locked showcases, here I'm missing also a key.
5). Are my open questions related to the bonus objectives? (I have found 1 till now - the hotel cashbox)
I had great fun playing this mission, and I definitely will re-play it.
Greetings,
urumo

Completed mission at Bachelor's difficulty. Quite an interesting mission! :cool:
Comments to the author - I don't think I finished it quite the way you intended.
After successfully getting into the staff only area and especially the penthouse, I spent a lot of time exploring and was able to get to most of the areas through rope work, jumping puzzles, etc. including the spring, summer, and fall suites. I needed to look here (in the forums) to find the hint for the winter suite key.
After I stopped finding new stuff for a while, I brute-forced the cubes puzzle in the office and hit the issue T-Linkz most recently reported, but I would go between one setting of the cubes and the next and quickly frob at the safe while it briefly opened and closed and successfully got the spectacles and instructions.
From there, I visited the muse in the four seasons, figured out that combo, and got the four season talismans and placed them and got the pedestal set up before I ever got the Aleph Stone. (At this point, I hit the bug that if you use the keyring on the pedestal it either goes up or down forever. Then, I looked around and found the intended route, first to the 8-ball, then to the Aleph Stone, and realized the solution for getting the Aleph Stone without being trapped, after the pedestal was ready.
Just wanted to let you know. I found only one bonus objective (the cash box.) Great mission! :thumb:

P.S. I also finished the mission with Urumo's questions 1, 2, 4, and 5 in the post above.

I'm currently stuck going in circles in this mission. I can't figure out the next place to proceed.
I've already been to the Aleph Stone Exhibit .
However, I can't find the place mentioned in the note where there is a supposed security gate in the hotel.
Reading through the comments, I assume this place is the West Wing?
Can someone enlighten me where this place is?

To get to the west wing, go back to the spiral staircase, ascend it, and keep looking up. Eventually, you will see somewhere else you can go.
