Tam,
I've used the board and got what i needed off the guard, although I can't use it.  Now I can't get out of the darned basement.  Used hand, foot, eye icons on door, and it just says,....that's the way out...............

oh sorry, i didn't see you already got past the guard.

[karelimur]

have you gotten out the door yet?

Hi, unfortunately Im stuck at the very start in the hospital 

Can anyone please advise?

Spoiler

I just have a pen and medical chart. Have spoken to nurse as well

[TheGuyGuy]

Yes, this is what I have done after RedBlob posted about the bug.
I simply restarted the game (It is not tooo much to replay) and did NOT use the note directly on the yellow pages. I simply interacted with the yellow pages. Then everything worked fine and i could proceed up to the end of the game.

I tried this twice (replaying from the beginning) and I never used my notes on anything (only hand). Still have the same problem: I cannot walk into the bar, after invitation to come in. I am just going to move on to another game I guess. A game can be awesome, with 3D graphics, good storyline, fun jokes, etc.. but silly little bugs like this make all that effort meaningless.

did you use the hand icon on the door, in a spot a bit below the "closed" sign? Also, did you mention the name Lauren to the owner of the bar?

I'm stuck in hospital too.

[Daphoenyx]

So I'm stuck...

I got the picture of Lauren, I speak to his father at the bar, he says I can come in. But when I touch the door it tells me there's someone inside, when I walk near it nothing happens, when I try to talk to the guy again it says that the door is unlocked. WHAT TO DO??

[Leon]

Did you have a good look at the picture? Is her name mentioned at the door?

[Daphoenyx]

Yes. At the door the main character says "I'm looking for LAUREN, she might be in danger", and the guy at the door, after a while, says that I can come in, if it's for his daughter... But no way, I'm trying with foot and hand and doesn't work... 

[Frodo]

Daphoenyx, perhaps you need to do a few other things before you can enter the bar.

Have you spoken with Rob yet?   

[Leon]

I've made a walkthrough ... (of course ...    )
Maybe that will help you find the missing part?

[Daphoenyx]

Daphoenyx, perhaps you need to do a few other things before you can enter the bar.

Have you spoken with Rob yet?   

Rob is the guy in the office? The one who seems to be alcohol-addicted? If yes, yes, I spoke to him and exhausted all topics of conversation.

I've made a walkthrough ... (of course ...    )
Maybe that will help you find the missing part?

Thanks for making the walkthrough, first of all! But no, I read it carefully and I did every single thing...


I also read all the messages in this thread and found out that also other people had the same problem...
Anyway thank you Frodo and Leon for giving me hints, I didn't think I would get any reply. 

[Leon]

Very strange. Can you save the game and mail it to me? Then I can see where you're at..

[Daphoenyx]

I just have one file: agssave.001. I guess that's the file I should send you? I'm mailing it at the email you have in your profile. Thank you 

[Daphoenyx]

I couldn't solve the problem but Leon emailed me a saved game which was "right" exactly at the point I was. So i could finally open the door and just finished the game.

Liked it!!!! 

Thanks Leon
