Title: stuck in 5 days a stranger
Post by: straston on Tue 23/09/2003 10:28:59
I am already stuck at the beginning.

Spoiler


I have the grolly, stick, cord and newspaper.

The guy told me to collect all the people.
I have talked to Simon already, but I can't find any other person in the house.

All the places are empty - I have been
upper floor: safe room, bathroom, hall
lower floor: entrance hall, kitchen (found the salt), garden (near the pool), garden with holes, room with dishes and books, TV room, hunting room.

Anywhere else I can go or anything I can do?

Try back upstairs, and maybe the tree

Hmmmm... I'm stuck again.

Spoiler


I am on the fourth day.
When I enter the bathroom, Simone follows me, than the killer arrives and kills me...
I only have the teddy, the lockpick and the book. I tried to sting the teddy with the lockpick, but there is a "I don't see why I should". Is there any place to learn about voodoo or something?

this part was quite clever, and you don't even use an inventory item, and you don't have to walk anywhere, that should help

Once you figure this puzzle out, you'll feel like the rug has been pulled out from under you!

;D Thank you for your help.

Now, I'm stuck on day 5:

Spoiler

How do I remove the tiles in the bathroom?
I have in my inventory: books on white and black magic, teddy, lockpick, apron, scissors, and the "evil-twin-detector". I definitely miss the pickaxe!

You may have to disassemble an item with another

Hi straston,
Spoiler
To remove the tiles in the bathroom, you have to use the machete, thats part of the 'evil-twin detector'

and I don´t understand when you say "Try back upstairs, and maybe the tree". I am a bit slow, I know. Jeje

I've just started day 2, and I've got no idea what to do.
It does seem like this game is pretty directionless.
I love the atmosphere and the animations though...

Spoiler
I can see something in the pool, which I have to drain.
Also, the treasure hunter says he'll give me the metal detector when he's found the crypt.

Any clues?

Thanks,
Steve

Great game, just finished it!  SteveMcCrea - perhaps the library may hold a clue

Post by: Kweepa on Wed 01/10/2003 17:11:46
Thanks - I'll give that a try.
It better not be a book that wasn't there before!
Otherwise I'm going to join the Yahtzee haters' club :)

you need to get the detector off Philip - something from the library may be useful for Phillip to find the crypt - have you found AJ yet?

Think you're on the right track with it pointing down - can you remember seeing where someone may have once been chained.

Aww, forgot about that "..and hold it over the place where the person sleeps" stuff :-[
