TomaTea's escape game Miro Clue isn't sad, but it sure is blue. To open the locked door and make your way to freedom, you'll need to solve your fair share of puzzles, and of course use the items you pick up and spot the clues hidden around you. If a puzzle informs you that you don't know how to solve it, that means there's something you haven't seen yet to crack it, and the tip of your in-game cursor will glow when it passes over something you can click on to interact with. Miro Clue has a very abstract art feel to it, apart from its stately soundtrack that makes you feel like the king is about to burst in and demand some hossenfeffer any moment, though the puzzles themselves are pure TomaTea through and through. There are puzzle pieces to assemble, a whole host of coded locked drawers to solve, and some clues to corresponding puzzles that are juuuuust a bit maddeningly vague when compounded with the silent judgement of wooden models. Just remember to pay close attention to your surroundings, examine items in your inventory by clicking the little "i" when you mouse over them, and if you get stuck, well, try looking at the bigger picture.

Have you opened the yellow door with the five-bar lock?
Check the chair.
After you open it, you'll see an image of a yellow-and-red statue and the letter R (and get a marker eraser). There's an arrow on the R. Look around and see if that rings any bells.
On the wall with the exit door are six more such statues, each one holding a blue ball in one of its hands.
Follow the "R" path indicated on the clue

Birds and stuff
The birds are just a color clue.
Birds are purple in this world.
The moon, heart, and fish are a color clue...
yellow moon, red heart, blue fish
...as well as a clue to another puzzle.
Namely, the right picture.
To get the key, solve the rainbow bird contraption.
Examine the item you got.
It opens to reveal a knife.

Big red drawer (left-right buttons)
Part of the clue is in plain sight.
Turn to the door and look at the shelves.
But those figurines aren't arranged linearly, so we need another clue.
Open the big yellow drawer below this one.
Put the two together to get a left-right sequence.
The yellow drawer tells you that the arm with the black squiggle is the one to look at (the figure in the clue has the squiggle on the right, and there's a big letter R next to it). It also tells you to "read" the shelves in the shape of an R.

Big yellow drawer (5 sliders)
Check the chair.

-
Big blue drawer (4 digits)
The clue is in plain sight, albeit kinda hard to see. (Does that make sense?)

Puzzle
It's a standard connect-the-shapes puzzle.
From the top diamond, go down two squares to the other diamond. (So vertical, then top-right.)
From the top spade, go right three squares, down four squares, and left two squares. (top-right, horizontal, left-bottom, vertical, vertical, top-left, horizontal)
From the top heart, go right two squares and down four squares. (horizontal, left-bottom, vertical, vertical, vertical, vertical)
This leaves three squares to connect the two clubs. (From left to right: bottom-right, horizontal, top-left)
Get the puzzle piece, and note the red and black pattern.

Puzzle
The clue is at the top of the tall cabinet: a moon, heart, and fish, hanging in that order. You need to trace a path that covers the entire grid, always following the moon-heart-fish-moon-heart-fish sequence, starting and finishing where indicated.

Mannequins
(There's a clue, or rather part of a clue, on the pedestals the mannequins are standing on.)
To solve the mannequin puzzle itself, first you need to acquire a fourth mannequin.
Open the big blue drawer just to the left of the mannequins.
Next, you need to arrange the mannequin's arms correctly.
Solve, or at least bring into focus, the puzzle behind the picture in the door view.
The arms should point down and to the sides at 45 degree angles.
Then you just need to put the properly-arranged fourth mannequin on its pedestal.
Get the knobby key (the fourth mannequin's head), and part of the clue for the 4-letter code on the small blue drawer.

Jars
These are part of the clue for the small red drawer. The shelves/cubbyholes they're in are also a clue, for the big blue drawer.

Rainbow bird contraption
This one's simple, if you're not colorblind: just click the colored parts of the feathers in rainbow order, which is conveniently even written at the base of the contraption.
The feathers on the left side, top to bottom, are yellow, indigo, orange, and green. On the right, they're brown, blue, red, and violet. So if you number them from top to bottom, click R3, L3, L1, L4, R2, L2, R4.
Get the brown feather.

Small red drawer (4 shapes)
The mannequins and the jars tell you what to do.
The pedestals for the mannequins are numbered 1 to 4 (although with Roman numerals), and they each have a picture of a jar.
I = red, II = yellow, III = blue, IV = red
Note the shapes on the appropriate-colored jars.
I = circle, II = square, III = diamond, IV = trapezoid
Get: red marker, flower-shaped key

Small blue drawer (4 letters)
There are two parts to this clue: you get one from the mannequins, and one from the big red drawer.
OK, so it's not from the mannequins so much as it is the mannequins, or rather their arms. Use the hand-signal alphabet clue from the big red drawer to figure out what letter each mannequin is signaling.
north, east = J; northwest, west = O; southwest, south = A; southwest, southeast = N

Solving
It's a "click two squares to switch them" puzzle. The moon goes in the top left quadrant, the boat (with the bird sitting on it) goes in the top right quadrant, and the biggest fish goes in the bottom left quadrant. When you get it right, it'll briefly say "Prepared", and you won't be able to move the pieces anymore.

Now use the arrows to move the picture up and to the left until the head of the mannequin lines up with the blue oval.
Get the puzzle piece. Also, note the position of the mannequin's arms.
