[close]

Thanks Joyce, I completed the game. Very good, but a rather abrupt ending.

[Joyce]

I know I was really enjoying the game too, so was disappointed when I came to the end

Kin I couldn't remember the order of the levers if my life depended on it, I know I just played around with them and finally got the right order.

I see argus's comments have been deleted so maybe somebody could also delete my not very nice reply to him/her

Help!

I don't speak a lick of spanish, and I am trying to figure out
what to do. Have wrench, food, note, referenced it with library...

[sthomannch]

You mean you don't speak Italian? Start "winsetup.exe" and switch to the game default in the lower right corner of the dialog box.

[Guest]

Um, yes, Italian I mean.
I started off in Spanish, and then switched to Italian...

Anyway,
THANK YOU for show me the English setting!!!!!

Babelfish was tedious and did not give me enough to solve the puzzles.

I am just sad that I had the game "spoiled" consequently, in looking for the diamond
in Italian...

Stuck with only trunk inventory...

Spoiler

I can't remember the order I did the levers, just kept playing with them, but I had a look at a saved game after I stopped alarm and the levers are all the way down pointing towards floor

[close]

Spoiler

Maybe the hotspot doesn't show up until  the kid tells you he was behind the screen with his yo-yo. Have you talked to him? You can see a blue picture frame behind the screen, the hotspot shows up if you bring cursor down the right side of frame

Hi, guys!
I need your help on how to make the blueprint. I have already

Spoiler

put the ball into the replicator and I have the chalk but I have no idea where to use it.

[close]

Thanks a lot!

[Just visitin']

Nice game  , though I am stuck  .
I have read somewhere that I am supposed to use a certain note with certain literature. Said note is supposed to be in something which you can eat. But said something-which-you-can-eat can neither be investigated, nor is Dr. Lutz willing to eat it and use it to its natural purpose, i. e. EAT it and find the note mentioned above.
My question is: How the heck do I get the note?

[Guest]

Spoiler

I can't find a way to open the water tank. I have tried with the wrench but he says he need more pressure to open it.

[close]

[Ariadne]

@Guest
In order to open the water tank

Spoiler

use switch on the left to see how the ventilation system works
use a spherical object in the whole next to the switch

[close]

The above are hints. If nothing happens, post again and I'll tell you exactly what to do

[Ariadne]

@Guest
Regarding the note
If I remember correctly, I think you have to go to your inventory and look at the toast to get the note and then look at the note to read what it says

[Ariadne]

Sorry, the last post was for just visitin'

[Guest]

Thank you very much, Ariadne

Hint 1 to find the yoyo:

Spoiler

Talk to the kid and pay extra attention to the part where he talks about losing his yoyo

[close]

Hint 2:

Spoiler

You can't see the yoyo until you pick it, walking somewhere triggers it.

[close]

Solution:

Spoiler

Walk behind the clothes changing thing (sorry I don't know what they are called) in the kid's room

[close]

Wire Hint 1:

Spoiler

You need to open the chest

[close]

Hint 2:

Spoiler

Look at the pictures upstairs

[close]

Hint 3:

Spoiler

Look at how many animals are in each picture

[close]

Hint 4:

Spoiler

Try the code in a different direction

[close]

Solution:

Spoiler

I don't remember the code but use the numbers of the animals in the pictures from right to left

[close]

Hint 1 for getting the oil:

Spoiler

You need to feed the rat three things to get something, one of the things is somewhere in the house

[close]

Hint 2:

Spoiler

Look at the floor in the kid's room

[close]

Solution:

Spoiler

There is a floor board that looks slightly different from the rest, remove it and look through the hole.

Right, I've gone into the future, I've turned off the alarm, got the water, I've used the ball on the replicator, but I can't seem to figure out a way to make a blueprint... Chalk won't work on either pieces of paper I have (wrapping paper, and safe code) and I can't use the paper on the replicator either... So, what do I do?

Can someone please help me with this?

[spanishgirl]

help please!! I don't know how to get the sticker from the kid!! could please someone tell me what to do? I've already opened the chest and got everything...

[Nostradamus]

How do I turn off the alarm?  I reckon it's got to do with some combination of the 3 levers, but I've played with it for a while and didn't crack it.

[mr.me]

I'm assuming you mean stick, because that's the only thing the kid gives. You have to give him the yoyo there are hints and a solution for getting the yoyo here: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=30899.msg396458#msg396458

oK, finished the game. I must say I enjoyed quite a bit. Though the plot was rather cliched, and the dialogs were no masterpieces and there was a fair bit of pixel-hunting the game was overly a solid, enjoyable adventure game. Of great value is the art in the game which is top-notch(this includes the inspired music and great cartoon graphics). As far as scripting is concerned, it was as solid as the rest of the game, with the exception of the interface which is a bit clunky(f.e. I had to choose the walk verb manually, which was pretty annoying as you may well imagine). Though not influencing the actual overall playability, the ending left a huge burden on my memory of this game. It was completely horrible, illogical and well... just plain stupid. It wasn't funny, it wasn't really tragic either, it was just plain stupid if you ask me. So, thank you for this solid production, and congratulations for establishing a fine reputation among the AGS community. You deserve it well. Wish you luck with your further projects(hopefully you won't keep us waiting too long) which, I hope, will perhaps sport a tad bit more depth and complexivity than your previous, however solid, productions. Good luck and good work!
