A Tale of Betrayal

[Bee921]

Just started this game. Has anyone got any hints for it? I'm stuck right after getting free and going up towards the deck.

Hello Bee921,

You are stuck in a very early stage!

Spoiler

Have you tried getting out through the window using the hooked rope -combine the hook and the rope in the inventory screen-!

If you tried that then our hero says that he's not risking hooking the rope to the ship's side unless he KNOWS what's happining on deck! And you have a mirror, gum and a stick! Why don't you see what's happening up there by youself!

[close]

Spoiler

To see what's happining above combine the gum and mirror, then combine the sticky mirror with the stick, then using that on the window!

[close]

I hope that helped!

AGS-GD,

I tried getting near those object and it pick them but simply can't

I presume I deal with the rope first. If so, then how?

If there are no need dealing with rope first then the program probably have bugs.

[AGS-GD]

splat44,

Well, you should deal with the Rope and Barrel first ... That's why Act I is called "Get Off My Back ...", here is how:

Spoiler

If you noticed there is a scratch in the upper metal stripe, now make sure that you are facing the door to the side -so that your hand is close to the scratch- and use the Ring with the Barrel. -try it when you are facing the left side of the screen and you'll get a message saying you can't-

After scratching the metal stripe, make sure that you are facing the broken mirror and then Interact with the rope! -Hold your mouse over the rope and then click the hand icon- ...

[close]

Besides when trying to reach something that you can't reach and the game tells you "I can't reach that!" then it's not a program error.

If you get stuck again let me know!

I'm right at the end and I'm trying to get a happy ending... but poor Ali is stuck forever in the graveyard. Can you help rescue him?

I have the following items:

Spoiler

ring, pin, personal items, scroll that got Ali to the graveyard, feather, shovel, two letters, dragon and either Jimmy or Riggy's map.

I've tried sending the dragon off with Jimmy's map first, but Ali waited for ten years and then was forgotten. Then I tried with Riggy's map and he still waited ten years and again was forgotten. I haven't managed to do anything with the feather.

How can Ali be rescued?

Any help would be really appreciated! And it's a great game - though tough in places!

Edit: Thanks for the help with the spoiler tags.

Hi Vespr, I'm so glad you liked the game, could you please then review it in this page:

As for the happy ending! Well, I'm keeping it a secret for now, until someone finds it out!

But if you are desperate then check your PM  .

[Jamesman]

I, too, am stuck at the end.

Spoiler

I stabbed Lucas Arse with the pin, and used the blood to write a letter to the Sultan. I attached the letter, map, and ring to the dragon, and I still lose after 10 years.

I've tried both maps, but both are fake. I was thinking maybe the mermaid has the real one, but I can't find anything else to do with her.

[close]

Not a bad game, though. I enjoyed playing it. I just wish I could figure out what to do to get the best ending.

[Sandra]

I can't get free from the barrel. I just manage to make a scratch in the stripe. I have tried to interact with the rope but nithing happens.

Spoiler

It only works if you turn into the right direction before using the rope.

[close]

[sandra]

that doesn't work

[Problem]

Spoiler

Sorry, that was my fault - not the "right" direction, I wanted to say the "correct" direction. He has to look away from you. Excuse my english

[close]

[Gregjazz]

Yeah, I think you make him face backwards, so you can see the back of the barrel, and then you go "use barrel" or something.

[splat44]

I can't get free from the barrel. I just manage to make a scratch in the stripe. I have tried to interact with the rope but nithing happens.

You need using ring on barrel while facing the right door.
Ring is in your inventory.

To remove rope, simple look at broken window or mirror and simply interact with rope.
(to look at thing put cursor on object and left-click). You will see coin with option.

I that help.

[close]

Ooh, then I've got a bug.

Spoiler

I just attached the map, the ring and the scroll to the dragon and he flew off. I hadn't written anything on the scroll to let the Sultan know of the plot... it just worked, so I figured I missed an explanation before for how the scroll would let the Sultan know what was going on.

You need using feather with blood on paper. Either ways you ends up in loosing.
But the reason question is how convince ena in giving map and I've all possible ways but not able. The other grave that have some writtings on stone which I couldn't figure out!

If there such winning ending, it very hidden!

[AGS-GD]

Well, actually there is a happy ending I just want to know if any of you could find it before posting it ...

Spoiler

Hint 1: Did you read Tom's diary -Tom is the one who made the map-!

[close]

Spoiler

Hint 2: There are some hidden hotspots! (A place which you can interact with while nothing would appear at the bottom of the screen to show it's name)-!

[close]

Spoiler

Hint3: If hints didn't help, and you really wanna see the happy end, send me a PM

[close]

As for the bug which -thanks God- doesn't stop you from winning the game:

Spoiler

I'll be fixing that in the next update of the game! It's matter of checking if you have written the letter before comining it with the Dragon that I seemed to miss when I beta-tested the game after working on it for 77 hours in a row!

[BorisZ]

Why don't you write walktrough?

[AGS-GD]

Why don't you write walktrough?

Mmmm, writing a walk-thru is a good idea, I'll do it over the week end.

Meanwhile if you are stuck anywhere you can always ask me here!
