If you give the maid your wallet through the chute, she will leave the locked door open for you, after she cleans it.  Also, you will need to mix the bucket of water with something else you can pick up in the closet.  Use it in the kitchen to get ride of the owner/cook

you get the water from the kitchen taps, use the cleaning stuff you got in closet with water, use that on floor and the cook will slip and fall. Thats as far as I have got, I filled my bucket up again with water, don't know if I was supposed to do that but can't empty it again so I presume it has to be used somewhere. When you try to combine the boots and bucket of water it says something like they can't go in whole, so I am assuming you have to cut them? tried cutting them on the bread slicer that didn't work. Maybe you will get further than me.

[I have tried so many times to cut the boots up in the slicer and it just won't do it. How did you know you had to cut them up. Maybe you did something else that I haven't done. I was just guessing I had to do that because when I tried combining boots and bucket of water it said they won't go in whole. Did you find out you had to cut the boots up by doing something else?
Fuel recipe - sorry I have no idea about making a  fuel recipe yet, how did you know you had to make fuel? Maybe protein source comes from some of the food??
Have you talked to robot thingie that somebody else mentioned? I am so stuck!!!!

Are there bugs in this game?  I immediately went to the kitchen as the source for the water, but there are NO taps in the sink.

Look at the receipe.in inventory.  You have to get eggs from frig, (protein)  starch from shelf above oven, and put boots in slicer and they get diced up.  Then add ingredients according to the receipe and it just takes over from there to end.

There was no robot thingy in my game.  Just follow the directions I posted about making the fuel.  Bucket should have water in it and then add ingredients to it to make the fuel

Did you pick up an antenna in the broom closet whre the pail was?? Did you use the lightbulb in thesocket to see what was in the closet?  I think It was in the trashpail in closet.  You do have the battery in your inventory>?   For some reason I put the two together in my inventory and it made a receipe.......Try that.

I know I put the two together in inventory, I was surprised when I went back in and the battery and antenna were missing and a receipe was there instead.  I thought something was wrong with the game.  Try it again.  Put antenna on battery.

I just tried it again and it definitely says they don't fit together. I put antenna on battery in inventory and also put battery on antenna but they don't fit!!  I thought maybe I had to talk to somebody again but all Melanie says is lets find out what the battery means or something like. Think I am gonna give up on this

I know I couldn't take anything off the shelves until I had the receipe and had spilled the water and solution on the floor to make the cook slip.  I wonder what made my two things combine?  I am so braindead sometimes, but I know that I was stuck so I started putting things together in my inventory and all of a sudden I got a receipe.  I think I also got a rubber glove in the closet?  Maybe that got combined also>>>??? Did you try taking anything else in the closet?
Title: Re: help with missing since midnight
Post by: on Mon 28/02/2005 05:52:29
I guess I am braindead right now too. I have made the cook slip so hes sleeping. I have filled the bucket again. I couldn't pick up a rubber glove in the closet, think it said I didn't need those. So I don't have a clue what I am doing wrong because my antenna and battery definitely won't combine.

I have this awful habit of deleting the game as soon as I finish it, otherwise I could go back to one of my saves and try again to see what I did.  Sorry.  It is almost 1am here now and I have to get to sleep. Watching my grandson tomorrow.
Talk to you soon.  Sorry about not remembering what I did, too late for the brain to function.

Well, as the one who has made the game I should maybe give you some tips :):

Spoiler
* You really can't get the rubber gloves from the closet - and you won't need them
* The battery and the antenna don't fit together, but they both have to be put onto the strange metal box Tim finds in the middle of the black spot on the parking lot.
* After these three parts have been put together you have to look at the box (= radio set) and it starts to send and receive a message - maybe some of you accidentally cancelled this cutscene by right-clicking the mouse. I think I should change that in another version
* The person you talk to on the radio set will give you a recipe for making spaceship fuel with some strange ingredients you have to find: water, protein, carbon and starch
* Finding the starch, the water and the protein shouldn't be difficult - and concerning the carbon: Think about what rubber is made of

Now its all coming back to me.  Yes, the box by the spot was transparant and I didn't even know it was there until I put my cursor over the spot and box came up.  Thats what I did in the inventory, but I didn't remember doing it.(lol)

This one's actually a little tough, because you don't think of what you have to use as being made of carbon. Try everything you have. You'll find it by paying attention to what your character says.
