Finally the English version of THE DEVIL'S SHROUD

[Nelinas]

Spoiler

After Ketmaier has said that there are enough clues and he has to talk to the Abbot - this happens after he has matched the pictures, and after he has re-examined the body commenting that there is too little blood -Ã,  there follows a long conversation with the Abbot who tells Ketm. the story of the monk Eldo.
Ketm. tries to talk to Eldo - no success.
Ketm. talks to the monk who stands next to the cell with the corpse, and learns that Eldo has not had his tranquilizers that day.
So, he goes back home and takes the medicine from the bathroom.
But, Eldo doesn't want to drink - "not thirsty".  Ketm has to make him thirsty...

Hi, Nelinas!

Thank you very much for your clues, I'll try to keep on. But my problem is that ...

Spoiler

I still stuck: "my" Ketmaier keeps repeating he doesn't have enough clues yet..., and I couldn't get a pic from the Abbot's book, so I coudn't match those pics (the crypt and the book one) - yet... How is that done?!... I feel really idiot and stupid...

[Nelinas]

Spoiler

In order to have "enough clues" and talk to the Abbot:
1) Match the photo of the blood stain on the wall (the numbers six and nine entwined) with the picture from your own book on satanism;
2) Re-examine the corpse - more precisely the blood on the floor - in order to conclude that the monk had been killed elsewhere and his body brought to the cell.
Now go and talk to the Abbot to learn about Father Eldo.

Damn! So it was that...

Spoiler

I was really #($/&/ already: so that was it, looking at the blood on the floor... I missed that...

Thank you very, very much again, Nelinas!Ã,

Ketmaier,
Congratulations on a great game!
Can't wait to go on in Lyon.
The "Abbey By Night" scenes are breathtaking - the starry sky and the moon, not to forget the soundtrack. Very good puzzles, dramatis personae with individuality, a feeling for the detail - just to name one - how the clock started working again...
You should definitely think about the movie art & industry.

[Ketmaier]

Congratulations to you Yvonne. You've been very fast to complete the first part. We're glad you appreciated it and we're sure the you'll going to like the coming part even more.

[The Book]

Great game... one question only - why did you decide to make a game about such a dark subject?

[Batgirl1979]

Great Game!! Only got stuck twice. It took me awhile to find the crypt entrance and then the alter entrance I kept trying to open the gate when it already was and all I had to do was walk through it! lol. Oh and the part in the abbey with the chalice was a bit buggy but I made it through. I like the idea of not being able to pick up items until leo knows that he needs them. That way you aren't hording a bunch of stuff (that can sometimes get confusing). Though you can get ahead of the character in your thinking but the game goes much smoother this way.
Also enjoyed the computer bits, very original.
Can't wait for part two, any ideas on when it will be released??

Cheers B.

 I can`t understand ......I can`t start  the game because it is a RAR file.....all I have is some notes,not a game
what`s the problem? 

[Primus]

I can`t understand ......I can`t startÃ,  the game because it is a RAR file.....all I have is some notes,not a game
what`s the problem?Ã, 

Hi!

A rar file is compressed by winrar, as a zip file is compressed with winzip, and as an arj file is compressed with winarj. Pls get winace or winrar (the one I prefer is the winrar v 3.1) to get the game files.

[Barbarian]

A good free utility for dealing with most common compression formats (ZIP, RAR, ARJ, LHA, etc..) is IZarc. For more information, check out: http://www.izsoft.dir.bg/izarc.htm

[Ketmaier]

We've just released a new version of the game at http://leok.altervista.org/. We hope all the marked bugs have been fixed. The abbot's bug was actually very irritating.

To thebook:
We've dealed with this dark issue because it seemed to be original to us.

To batgirl1979:
Thank you for the compliments; at least you've appreciated the way the interactivity changes during the game. We haven't understood your problem with the gate: Leo has to open it and if you had been able to pass through the closed gate, you really are batgirl!

[sunshinegold]

Yes the sanctuary is the room with two torches and one missing but you don't have to take a picture from that room but from the sanctuary's illustration (that is inside the abbot's secret book). Good luck.

Primus,
In your post you say to 'adquire image (use camera) with computer, then 'adquire book image' and match both images.

Well I managed to magnify the image from the camera but then I cannot do anything with the book I got from the living room on Satan.

What am I missing.  Is that the book you are talking about or is there another book.    I just seem to be going around in circles from home to abbey without being able to do anything. 

I see the abbot drinking all the time but cannot get the chalice either from fountain or from abbot room. 

I cannot get anything out of the monk walking around in circles.

So far I did not get anything except the picture of blood from abbey

Can anyone help me.  I would like to go on with the game.

I have read the 'hints' and the posts from 'completed games' but I can't find anything.

HELP. :'(

[sunshinegold]

Where are all the players.

This seems likeÃ,  a very good game and so many members were playing it but yet no one has posted in a long time

I can't believe that there is not at least 1 member that could answer my post

Thanks to anyone that could possibly help me.


OK - PROBLEMS SOLVED - GAME COMPLETED.

Thank you Miryoku_81 and Cittymom

[Ketmaier]

Also "the devil's shroud - part2" is coming soon in 256 colours.

[Gijs]

This is a really cool game but I'm having a problem.
I can't enter the building at the back. How do you do that?

[Potch]

I ALSO cannot enter the building at the back.   Any help would be appreciated.

this game is interesting.  I don't know why I never saw it before now....

[Joyce]

I remember playing this but sorry I don't remember a lot about it, maybe once hints forum is up again you will get further, I know there was a bunch of us playing at the same time and we were stuck so there is a thread there with quite a few questions and answers. I don't even know what building at the back you guys are referring to. Big help I am eh!

[Potch]

Well, what I was referring to was... when  you go to the church place, and you investigate the room where the guy was killed, you leave through the back.  I went back to the apartment to get something, came back, and now I can't get back in.  If I go to the front door, it says I have to go around the back.  I go around the back, to a screen where you walk through an archway, and I can't go any further.
