Title: Absurdistan Demo
Post by: Michael2968 on Fri 28/05/2021 15:41:43
I am at the first part of the demo and I have
Spoiler
the ration cards the card with the grooves, and the shopping list.

I have gone to the
Spoiler
elderly ladies appartment and I know I have to fix her tv when I get the wire. I also figure I need to steal the lightswitch from her apartment to put it on the elevator. I figure I have to get the tools out of the drawer but I'm not sure how to do it.

I would appreciate any hints.

Thanks,
Michael

Thanks for the advice about

the screwdriver. I got it but I'm not sure what to do next.

I figure I need to get a

new wire to fix the tv to distract the woman to get the light switch for the elevator but I'm not sure where I get the wire.

Not exactly.
Spoiler
You can't fix the tv in the demo, that's in the full game. It's a great puzzle, so you can look forward to it! But otherwise, you are right about getting the light switch while the old lady is distracted.

Still stuck? Here's another nudge:
Spoiler
Are you playing with sound on?

The next spoiler gives it all away, so try the one above first:
Spoiler
You have to time this one right. Use the screwdriver on the switch when the tv makes the most noise on the cycle of disturbances.
