'7 Days a Skeptic' by Yahtzee

[Al_Ninio]

My favorite part was after meeting at the bridge, they decided to use the escape pod. But first, a good night's rest. I was like, WHAT???

Apparently, evil ghost murderers can't open doors.

Pushing Barry into the reactor shaft. Why should that "kill" him?
Why not cut his arms off with the machete after stunning him?
Ditto for John.

Well, probably pushing people into the reactor shaft would destroy their body. If the spirit of DeFoe took over Barry's body, the body would be destroyed in the reactor shaft, and then the spirit had to go looking for another body... right??

EDIT: You guys think too much! Knowing that you'll find bunch of design flaws and forced puzzles in my games, I'm going to stop developing them right now!

Sorry Pett,
I should just have said WOOOOT! I LOVE IT!

Don't get me wrong.
No doubt, it's one of the best games of the year.
That's WHY I'm picking holes - because I think it could have been better.

I don't want Yahtzee to rest on his laurels.

I like to hear that BB is hypercritical.
Hopefully he's turning that hypercritical mind on Apprentice II.

Thanks, and cheers Yahtzee,
Steve

Like in the readme, it says that the ship is only a few days into it's assignment when the locker is found. But "Dr. Somerset" syas that the darts in the games room were lost months ago.

Also, at the end, when John Defoe finally rises and starts wandering the ship, what head is he using? The whole purpose of the doctor capturing "Somerset" was for his head, so John Dafoe's new body would be complete.Ã,  But you escape with your head. So where does John's head come from?

well, the ship could have been used before that assignment or something.

and the head also got me thinking whose it was. i figured it was Serenas, cuz it was in William's room, but i dunno

And who's this guy, Malcolm that's using a computer at the beginning when he sees an article about the relaunch of Mephistopheles. When I finished the game I thought he could be the real identity of the player character, but then I saw that the date in the computer is 14/7/2385, that's only a few days before the incident in the spaceship and not six months ago (or something like that) as the guys from the other spaceship tell you.
Maybe it was planned to be the player character and this is a small mistake in the plot.

Makes sense that it would be Serenas head, since she wore glasses (hence her eyes are bad), and Defoe needed the doctors eyes.

[viktor]

I think it would have been better without the days.

If then the puzzle with the captains console wouldn't work. But I think that you hawe a point. Maybee he could hawe left out the puzzle and instead put in a diferent one...

She has the code........

What you need is the key for the pods, now who has that? It's obviously not you or Adam, who else could have it.....? Maybe you should go find him.........

Ah yeah, now that everyone is making some deep thoughts about the sense of the game, I have one, too: What sense do escape pods make if you need
a) to fuel them up before launch
b) a keycard which only one person has to access them...

It's like having a "build-your-own-boat-in-just-two-days-kit" for emergency purposes on ships...

[Darth Mandarb]

Note: To anybody asking for 'hints' and/or 'help'.

The ENTIRE game is laid out in this thread ... take 3 minutes and read through it!

Maybe somebody should post a walkthrough?

- Dr. William's last name is Taylor, and he has very blonde hair. He is a descendant of Simone Taylor from the first game.

He is a descendant? I thought she died from the ghost? It said so in the letter...

WHICH DAY IS IMPORTANT TO YAHTZEE? I need to know...

Its useful if the team brings aboard a 400 year old coffin with the spirit of an evil murdered, unwanted child. you've got to plan for these situations!

but anyway, i would assume 2 people hold keycards. the captain and the doc.
