Adventure Game Studio

I've been stuck since I got my pre-order... but now that it's fully released, I figured I could ask for help.
I'm not very far in the game (Chapter... 2?), but spoilers anyway-

Spoiler

While in the hospital, how can I find out the name of the other patient's mother?

Spoiler

She is out of the bathroom now, have you tried there?

jenimad:

Spoiler

Turn the hot water tap in the bathroom and wait for about 15 seconds- you'll see the mirror steam up and reveal part of the name. Then ring the bell and take drugs the nurse gives you- you'll see the whole name on the mirrors...

Spoiler

Thanks! I got everything up to steaming up the mirror, but I had no idea about how to see the rest of the name for some reason- everything worked out for now~

...and now I'm stuck again.
Chapter... 4, I think?

Spoiler

It's the one where Susan's been kidnapped by the Pest Control guy. I know roughly what I need to do otherwise, but I can't figure out how to get his wife out of the shed- well, aside from her getting out long enough to stab me XD;

Have you played Maniac Mansion? : )

Spoiler

You need his mobile phone from the van and their landline number. When you have both, go to the dining room, call their landline number and hide under the table

I don't understand how you overwrite in the save system... When I choose Save I can only make new saves? I can't seem to overwrite on top of old saves, I see old saves that I made from the demo in there also. Is this just the way it is, you make a new save everytime you want to save? I push escape, push arrow key down to save, and can't get it over to a old save picture to overwrite, hope I'm describing that right.

Where are the save files located in my computer, so that I can delete old ones I do not want, I do not want computer being filled with tons of save files because you can't overwrite saves. Only the load button does it allow me to scroll through the saves and choose one, I do not see any way to overwrite a old save, when I choose save it only wants to let me type a new save file...

Newer versions of AGS put saved games to -
WinXP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\<name of game>
Win7: C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\<name of game>\

thank you :)

Was wondering how you actually solve the doll puzzle?  Never know if I actually did?

Spoiler

You need to ask which door would the second doll point as the correct. This way:
- Truth telling doll will point the wrong door as the other doll always lies and it would point the wrong door,
- Lying doll will point the wrong door as well because the other doll would tell the truth and point the correct.
Whichever doll you ask this question, it will point the wrong door and if you know which is wrong, you also know which is right ; )

Hello! Chapter 3:

Spoiler

I can't make coffee, I need " make coffee" for take the mug, but for make coffee I need a mug... I miss something?
And I'm French, so I can't write a perfect text to describe my problem ^^

Solved! I just forget to search on the balcony (I thought it was closed xD).

Thanks Myself!

Okay, Chapter 4 - Parasite #2

Spoiler

Get the key, unlock the handcuffs, pickup the gun.  Now what?

I walk back and forth, I can hear the footsteps, but nothing happens, I don't stumble across anything.  Can someone throw me a hint?

Did you notice Susan actually always comes back fully healed whenever she is resurrected?

Stuck at the beginning of Chapter 1.

Spoiler

I unlocked with key from inventory the building with the old machinery, then went to the deer. Now I am in a closed "corridor" on the one hand - hanging on a tree, on the other - a fence with animal heads on it. My inventory is empty and all the action (with the black arrows) lead to nothing. What did I miss?

Thanks to the creators of game, Downfall is one of my favorites.

Someone wants you to follow him.

But you might not like what you find if you do... ;)

By the way- love your new avatar Urpney!;) It looks like... a giant blood-soaked zombie cat? ;) haha Thanks for helping with the hints (I always forget about this section of the forums somehow...;))

My pleasure. I'm also trying to help in that infamous GOG thread, but I can't help with some things (like bugs or shipping problems).
Glad you like my avatar;) And about that statement under yours, remember what Vonnegut said about cigarettes? "I know they are killing me but without them I would probably kill myself" :)

Haha I love Kurt Vonnegut and thanks for reminding me of that quote!;) It'll be very very useful...;)
