Filled the blue cup and
Spoiler
with the spectral essence, got the safe key and a few other items. Now for the cursors. Tried the numbers that haven't been crossed out on the calendar and also the numbers on the black board in the next room.
Spoiler
Bottles...
I'm pretty stuck myself:
Spoiler
I've been in the building and found his secret wall, I have the hourglass, candlestick, chalk, doll, whiskey. I found the book (that I can't read), I lit the candle in the library, i drew the pentacle.
But:
Spoiler
the spirit leader keeps telling me to control my uncle and I keep saying I'll check the house. What am I looking for??
I don't see any way to proceed at this point.
SHADOW
Shadow
exhaust all dialogues (all spirits)
Spoiler
the ghost you called tells you that you have to cast a spell, but you don't know any. Your uncle does, but he doesn't tell you, because he wants that you do everything on your own
tried to burn the doll or to cut off a leg?
Spoiler
put the doll on the ground (hotspot) and give enough whiskey, then talk to the doll. Again, exhaust all dialogues
Thank you! I was able to continue.
It didn't occur to me to
Spoiler
try to burn the voodoo doll
Great game...really enjoying it.
SHADOW
Ok stuck again.
Spoiler
When I drew the pentacle near the coffin, the chalk disappeared. The book is telling me to draw a pentacle near the spectral puddles but I can't without chalk!
SHADOW
Shadow, you don't need it anymore
Spoiler
if you have "the stones that show the time", you can tell the puddle (talk icon) to draw a pentagram, like the druid stones explained. You also need the candle and have to light it, and for all places you need an item that originated from the time of the event in question
I thought that the stones referring to:
Spoiler
the hourglass
but putting that in the puddle does nothing....
SHADOW
I did
Spoiler
first talk to the puddle, then you should see the pentagram, place the hourglass, candle, and an item belonging to that time. Light the candle.
Perhaps
Spoiler
you have to go to the Druid's stone and answer all questions ("Yes, I have"). I don't know, but it could be that you have to answer correctly to get the spells, which you also need to complete the procedures
Ohh...
Spoiler
I had already tried speaking to the puddles with no luck. Then I did a few more rounds of talking to the book which I guess allowed me to talk to the puddle again. It's hard to know exactly what triggers the ability to do certain things.
SHADOW
Shadow
Spoiler
activate the book (cursor) and use it on the Druid's stone. Exhaust all dialogues, and answer yes if you have the items it asks for. Try to open the conversation again. I can only guess what ist missing
Yes, that's what I did prior to my post. What I was saying in the post is that I probably missed some dialog option.
Thank you!
SHADOW
I am stuck pretty much at the beginning.
Spoiler
I have opened and entered the window. I have the bone, the knife, the blue cup, the yellow paper, the voodoo doll and the schedule for the cemetary, and perhaps some other things. I can't enter the cemetery and... that's about it.
Nick
Spoiler
Do you have the medaillon? If not, go back to the library. Read everything carefully.
Spoiler
Look at the clock and the bust. You can act on both of them
Stuck at the same place as Nick, minus the bone.
Spoiler
Can't seem to do anything to the clock or the bust.
Perhaps you didn't read everything and didn't exhaust all dialogues
Spoiler
the clock can be set to 12, and you can press the buttons on the bust.
Who is to be expected at 12.00?
Did you read the
Spoiler
yellow paper
You need to prepare it first.
Spoiler
I am now stuck at the safe. I can't seem to open it, and the medallion puzzle... kind of make sense, but none of the answers for the last sequence seems to be correct...
Nick
Spoiler
Did you find the key? For the cursors I suggest you examine the wine bottles
How do I light the candle. I have the motivation, the candle, and a burnign fireplace, but every time I try and light it in the fireplace, he refuses.
- Cogliostro
EDIT
Spoiler
I missed the matchbook on the desk!!
Where is the key for the safe? I'm trying to NOT use the medallion, but I can't find that key anywhere.
- Cogliostro
Cogliostro
Spoiler
In the vault, in a hidden compartment.
In the house by the river: Did you find
Spoiler
the wrench? It is below the safe. Go back to the cemetry and go into the vault
Spoiler
Use the wrench on the hourglass, then the hourglass on
Spoiler
the statue in the middle. Take the key, but then you cannot leave. Put something small into the compartment
Spoiler
the nut that held the hourglass and remove the hourglass from the statue
Anyone will write a walkthrough please !
Thanks :)
Spoiler
I am still stuck in the safe puzzle. I have the hunch many are in my situation. Being the game so fun and all, this problem is somewhat frustrating. Does anyone have the solution?
Thanks.
Hello gaarias,
May I ask you to clarify on which part of the puzzle you are stuck (cursors or key).
Stuck too.
Spoiler
Gilbert says he needs to find alcohol...
I opened the safe, found the office building and the room with the bust with a hole. But I have no key for it.
So where/how do I get alcohol?
alcohol
You opened the save, but did you...
Spoiler
close the door of this room, too?
The key for the bust...
Spoiler
is in the same room, then the bust.
I had tried to do that thing for the alcohol, but he just walked out.
But this time it worked. So now I made a little progression, but I'm stuck again.
The game is much harder than I expected, but I'm enjoying it anyway.

Hello gaarias,
May I ask you to clarify on which part of the puzzle you are stuck (cursors or key).
Spoiler
Cursors.
May I ask you upfront to give me the cursors? I was playing this one with my GF and we are pretty much stuck. Yes, we are a nerdy couple sometimes.
...For the cursors
Spoiler
use the year of the wine bottles
... and good luck :)
Regarding the puddles of spectral essence...
Spoiler
what additional object is needed for the puddle near Greedy's house, and where is it found? I have the hourglass and lit candle and have already completed the tree and office puddles.
Puddle of the river house :
hint
Spoiler
search the room of the safe in the river house.
solution
Spoiler
search the window in the room of the safe. You'll find a doll. Use it on the puddle
This game is fun, nevertheless it has some bugs that crashes the program, which is frustrating. Anyone else with this problem?
Anyways.
Spoiler
Having trouble opening Greedy's apartment door. Already have the key. It appears the password is the series of numbers found in the chalkboard or in the calendar. Maybe a mixture of them?

:( The game file has been updated last week to get rid of that bug in the room of the safe.
hint for cursors:
Spoiler
neither chalkboard nor calendar. You have to look elsewhere
solution for cursors :
Spoiler
look at the wine bottles for the right code

I must be doing something wrong: still can't unlock the door with the wine code. The game usually crashes here, at Greedy's door. Halp?
Hello gaarias,
I think I misunderstood your problem. All I said about cursors code was for the safe in the river house.
To open Greedy's inner door in the office building, you need :
Spoiler
to type the translated roman numerals on Greedy's bust pedestal to the keypad in the mailbox outside
Spoiler
??? ??? ??? ???
Hello Darkdan, thank you for your patience and congrats for your game.
;D
Where is this bust pedestal! Forgive my newbieness but I can't see it. You mean the statues on the cemetery? Been stuck here for a while. Outside of Elias Skinflint office building.
:-[
Hello gaarias,
I am lost.
What are you trying to open?
Is it the safe in the river house?
Is it the entrance door of Greedy's new office?
Is it the inner door in the hall of this office?
Or is it an other door in an other place?
Hello,
I'm trying to open the entrance door of Greedy's new office.
Where is the code?

@Darkan: I am still looking for something that is needed to solve the office puddle. So far I am quite sure to have all available items, but none of them works out here. And also I am aksing myself if there is "anything" that I can do to the paper wall - except reading them... but then why have I opened the door at all? Inside the office all carpets are looking just normal. Where can I get the needed item for solving the puddle in Greedys office? Thanks!
Hello sipjezzy,
To open the entrance door of Greedy's new office :
Spoiler
you don't need a code, you need the keyring that you can find in the safe in the inner room of the river house
Hello axxesfun,
To solve the office puddle :
Spoiler
open and close the empty drawers of the desk in the room of the safe in the river house. You will eventually find a contract there.
Thank you Venator,
but I expressed my self badly (oh, my bad english!)
I just had
Spoiler
opened the mailbox with the keyring
but I don't understand how
Spoiler
to find the necessary code for the keypad. I don't find the Greedy's bust pedestal
???
Spoiler
The keyring opens also the entrance door (no code needed). The keypad (with the code) opens the shutter of the inner door in the hall.
Thank you Darkdan,
;D
I believe some of us were trying to open it with the keypad, whilst the door opens so easily.
;D
Finished the game.
Good game and drawings, congrats!
Finished the game tooo. Very nice game! My compliments!! :D
Thank you. I am glad you liked Venator :)
Very nice, entertaining game. Good puzzles and good story. Big thanks to the author.
I really liked this game so far. But now I'm really stuck.
Spoiler
I don't know how to finde the magic book, nor how to lit the candle. Cogliostro mentioned a matchbook on a desk. Which desk? I'm unable to find it!
Thanks for your help
Edit: I found everything and I could finish the game!
