Title: Ace King
Post by: Shadow1000 on Fri 12/08/2016 04:57:26
I haven't gotten far in this game and I'm stuck.

Spoiler
I don't know how to make Tom's Tonic. Looking at the note in the box:
- 1 part clear and russian well, that sounds like vodka but the only thing I have clear is the water so I'm guessing it means the water???
- 1 part creamy and sweet I guess the christmas eggnog is creamy? the chocolate liqueur sweet? so which is it???
- 1 part courage I guessed this means either the whiskey or the dutch lager.

So far none of my guesses helped me make the tonic. I also notice that each line is some words in another colour. I don't know if those correspond to anything to help solve this

I hope someone can help me here. Thank you

the colours are a hint, and yes, the reference is to vodka

I would appreciate any hints about what to do next.

Thanks for the help with the last section now I am in the part of the game at

Mann Steaks casino trying to get up in his elevator. I have taken the cover off the button panel inside the elevator taken out the match stick and I have the magazine off the table. I figure you have to change the weight on the panel to Mann Steaks weight in the magazine but I don't know how.

Ok, did you deal with the two guys making the TV program? It's hard to tell what point you are at specifically. Here's a hint:

Spoiler
They want you to dress like a native. You have to make a grass skirt for that
