I've found an easter egg in 7 days a sceptic!

Hi people. Since you must have already read the subject, here it is:

Spoiler

After you kill the wielder (with help of radio masts), don't destroy the idol. Instead of that go back into the ship, close the door and use your normal uniform. This is a scary one!

Heh heh! Stands to reason really - that is what should happen, but you don't expect it, do you?

Hey, don't you mean 7 Days A Skeptic?

BTW, what do you do when Barry rises from the dead wants to kill you? I'm armed with a deadly towel rack and Angela's stun gun and after I hit him with the stun gun just once, all that happens is that he follows me around and tries to kill me! The only safe havens appear to be the counsellor's office and outside in space. I hit a total dead end!

BTW there is another easter egg, to see it:

Spoiler

Play the game all the way to the end on May 24th. You can change your date, then load a game just before the end, it works.

Yes, it's 7 Days a Skeptic, of course.

Yep, Barry will follow you around until one of you kills the other. This question has been answered already in another thread, but here's some help:

Hint 1:

Spoiler

The stun gun will only stun him temporarily, as you know. You need to use some other weapon on him.

Hint 2:

Spoiler

Yes, it's the towel rail.

Hint 3:

Spoiler

You need to find a spot where he won't see you so you can hit him with the towel rail. Have a hunt around the ship for somewhere you can hide. Most places are open, so find somewhere where there is a hiding place. There aren't that many.

Answer:

Spoiler

Go to the lower deck where the reactor is. Walk across the bridge and stand in the shadow of the column. Barry will come in and look over the railing. When he does this, whack him with the towel rail.

By the way, I think he will follow you anywhere, provided he caught up with you in the previous room you were in.

Spoiler

No, actually he just appears anywhere you go.

Thanks a bunch, I got it and played all the way to the end! 

haha and good easter egg/death screen.

But I found the official walkthru from Yahtzee himself- at the very end, he said you find an easter egg if you played the game all the way to teh end but only if you set your computer's clock to "a date close to my heart"--what is it? Is it the Captain's Birthday?? Valentines? St Pattys? I wanna find out!

[FamousAdventurer77]

Never mind, I just read through the past posts and I missed it at first- the date is

Spoiler

May 24, regardless of year

Dude, that game was "7 Days a Skeptic" not "7 Days a Stranger" but
the first episode of it was "5 Days a Stranger"
