If your stuck on the second floor then its a bug, I think Vel's fixing this.

Spoiler
If the busines mans after you then hide behind the hay. If your still stuck then just ask.

Thankx. I know I have to cut the rope of the hanging bale but the floorboard makes a crack sound. Is there any safe path?

I have absolutely no idea what to do when I search the bodies, find the second part of the letter and go up - the murderer goes upon me, I run to the house of the farmer and then every time I exit the screen, I get shot - where can I hide???

After you leave the celler to the entrance room in busines mans house go to the barn..then hide behind the hay.

Stuck at this part as well....
Spoiler
I try to hide behind the hay and then I head up the ladder but as soon as I touch the floorboard it squeaks.  I thought  maybe I had to do something w/the bucket...oil the floor maybe?  But I can't figure out how to pick up the bucket

So, don't touch the floorboard. There are a couple of boards in the loft that'll squeak, but it's just a case of picking your way round them. Take your time, and use the cursor to find them.

Talk to everyone about everything and then go back to the first house. Here he will say that he better get some rest. Then go to the hall way and click on he right door.

Alpha, I already talked to the guy in the house that used to play chess with his friend. Is there someone else to talk to? There's no one home in the house between the tool shed and his house.  Even still, I tried clicking on the right door and he says, "I don't need to go in there yet." I need your help... ???

In the house between the tool shed and the busines mans house, examine the window. Then knock it. Then the man inside will come to the door.

You're right, there was somebody there. I talked to him but still can't get into the living room. Is there someone else lurking about?

I'm hiding behind the hay but nothing happens. Is the kilIer supposed to come in the barn? I tried to go up the ladder in the barn but he says, :It's not time to do that yet."

You need to do this at the right part of the game. If you havn't been to the celler yet then you dont need to go to the barn.

Hi. I've just started this game. I have the letter Alan mailed me, and the note he left on the ranch and cannot do anything else in the game. When I try to go right past the bucket, he makes a comment that he needs to explore the ranch first.  Problem is, there is nowhere to go. Can't go forward, back, left or right. I'm basically stuck right in front of the ranch. Can't get past the cart either, nor can I open the door to the ranch.

I've also searched the entire screen with the mouse arrow and cannot find an in game direction arrow to get the character to move out of the  screen.

Very frustrating. He's totally stuck there.

Any advice?  ???

You know, sometimes it only takes a suggestions like that to make me figure out the obvious...
