Figured I may as well start the topic!

Played for a while, taking a break now.

Currently, I;m trying to

Figure out the password to Kendra's Trollgate account, pretty sure I know her username.

Loving this game so far!  I'm not quite as far along as you Piperhcombs, but I'm stuck as well:

Spoiler
Trying to figure out how to get inside George Ostin's apartment.  I did pick up the note about the clothing drive but no clue what to do with it.  Anyone know what the next step is?  Sam is no help either, of course...

@Piperhcombs:

Spoiler
Yep, I did talk to the receptionist about every topic...is there something else I need to do or am missing, or do I need to search something else on my phone? I really am stumped.

Thanks, by the way!  :)

Don't worry about

getting into George's place yet, that'll happen in time. Talking to the receptionist about the right thing
hint: the subject of the note should have gotten you a new location to visit. Try stepping outside- or checking your notes for an update.

Hmm...I must have said the wrong thing to him then...I'll try going back to a saved game.  Darn it!  Thanks though for the hint.

Imagine that you lost your password to access this website. You probably will get a new one in your e-mail if you ask for it.

Me again!

Spoiler
I'm trying to figure out how to possibly turn the power back on at Lia's house.  I also cannot figure out Kendra's login or password for the Trollgate...I saw the earlier posts on here but still can't figure it out--if I have to "request" a new password, how do I do that?  I don't see any buttons on the game for that...

Wiggle! :grin:

Joey clearly can't open it, but...If you switch to Rosa and click away (click vigorously :P ) she will eventually be able to wiggle across the floor very slowly...and awkwardly.

Dropped off a follower
Spoiler
I took Kendra back to her dad's place.  Joey and Rosa both tell me I am supposed to check on her, but I can't seem to enter the building.  The door is locked and I get no response when I use the buzzer.  Joey says the 5th floor is out of range. Nor can I gain access to the fire escape--Joey isn't interested in the alley, and the gate is locked.  The walkthrough I found said I was just supposed to follow Kendra and doesn't mention any puzzles to get back in.  Is this a bug or is there another way in?

I think you missed something in Lia's house.

Spoiler
There's a keyrack next to the door. Emil's key is on it. Symptom of being an adventure gamer- you click on absolutely everything.

Under the achievements, there are three options that I'm trying to track down.  Goldfarb Digger, Laying it Bear, and Snow Plow.  Does anyone have any suggestions for these?

Laying it Bear (I only got this, not the others)
Spoiler
I didn't notice at the time, but judging from the image you get this near the end when Aunt Lauren tells you she used a teddy bear with a tie and a hat to prepare you for Joey. Just talk to her in the void and make sure you exhaust all conversations.
[close]

Snow Plow(?):
Spoiler
Missing that myself, but seeing how getting less than 450(?) or something footsteps is one, Snow Plow could be one you get with more than a 1000 or something like that. I had ~750 iirc.
[close]

I'm curious about the Digger one though.
Spoiler
Abe Goldfarb voices Joey, so I guess the secret room is connected to him.

Goldfarb Digger:
Spoiler
This one's easier to figure out if you play in commentary mode, because you see pics of the voice actors whenever they have commentary/blooper sound bytes.

When you get to the the Vantini Bar (Ray) have a look at the pictures on the wall. You may recognize one. Use Joey's tie on the picture of Goldfarb.
[close]

Laying it Bear:
Spoiler
When you are in the void with Aunt Lauren, make sure you talk with her after you convince her to get up/leave the void.
[close]

Snow Plow:
Spoiler
Indeed it is the exact opposite of "Softly, Softly" (though apparently no one has that one yet).

Just walk around in every location with snow until Joey comments on it.

I think I need some slight "push" towards solution.

My situation is this:
Spoiler

I am at the part where I need to bring two spirits to the circle of protection in the Church School.
I've already managed to solve Heather / Tanya story. Currently there is a ghost of the Peter Fielding in the gym which has to be moved there as well.
I've met with his sister in appartement, and talked to her, I found his farther's tomb on the cemetery. At this point I seemingly meet dead end, because I tried every available topic in the dialog, and yet the story just does not move forward.
I have a vague guess that I must do something with the calendar at the gym to make Peter visit the cemetery, or something like that. Yet I didn't find the way to make Rosangela enter the gym (she needs keycard?), and Joey has no way to manipulate with the calendar himself.
The locations available to me at this point are: Blackwell House, Police Station, Fielding's Gym, Fielding's Appartement, Church School and the Cemetry.

Do you know someone who frequents the gym, who doesn't need his keycard anymore? He wouldn't notice if you "borrowed" it. You'll need a bit of help from a friend to get it.

Actually, it appeared that I simply did not notice the "Card" hotspot at the Fielding appartament. Considering all the trash lying around... Some pixel hunting helped :).

Looks like I'm stuck much earlier than most people here. If it matters, I'm playing the demo.

Spoiler
I've got into the building and got to the second floor. I have fiddled with the fuses, read the newspaper, spoken to the guy on the phone and tried combining clues in the phone, but now I'm stuck... Any pointers? Thanks.

EDIT: Never mind, I got it in the end. I had somehow managed to completely overlook the door at the top left of the screen. All finished now!
