[imspeshul]

Spoiler

You have to find Adam ... just keep looking.  Don't worry, he hasn't given you the shaft!!

Spoiler

Tell the engineer to meet you at the deck as well and then go there, the engineer is hidden in the elevator's hatch.

[close]

It's an excellent game, though I must say I liked 5 days a stranger more, specially because of the ending...

Spoiler

I mean, it doesn't seem to be part of the plot... you just realize at the end that the guy was not who you thought he were, but what? Is it all just for making him a good victim to be punished for the crimes? I don't think having fun of being unemployed is good...

[close]

I also found a bug, and this is a big one.

Spoiler

When DeFoe is chasing you, if you go back to the room where you were going to escape the ship (I don't remember the name of the devices) the engineer and your own body are still there. I mean, there's still the sprite of you lying on the floor and you can still talk to the engineer...

It was a very enjoyable game. Wasn't 5 days longer? Or maybe it is that it took me more time to beat it. Anyways, good job!

Spoiler

On Monday, how do you open the airlock doors?  It says the "safety switch" is on.  How do I get it open?

[close]

[Darth Mandarb]

@ RtF

Spoiler

you have to make sure the other door is closed, just use the first switch (on the left)

[close]

I would like to make an announcement ...

I just went and played through the game again.  I have never done that with an AGS made game before.

A really great game (despite some bugs).

Hi!

Just wanted to state, that I'm through - finally and with a good help of highwaygal ;-)

But I don't know, which game you guys (and gals respectively) played. I didn't like the ending. Well, but that's a matter of taste. After all it's really a good game, and-- no! don't let me say that! umm... grammm.... -- Yahtzee's quite a genius. (Oh dammit! I HAVE said it! Must be that idol from the game!)

So. We're awaiting another, Mr. Ben "whoeveryouareinthisforum" Croshaw.

Bye,

[Sam.]

I'm stuck

Spoiler

I can't find serena, I have talked to everyone and I think i have been everywhere, can anyone help me?

[close]

[simian]

Good game but a few things:

Spoiler

1) What body was Dafoe supposed to be using at the end? I thought he could only go about attacking people by taking over someones body.
2) Why did Dafoe have the idol on him after you squewer him, when it was by the abomination?
3) What was the point in Serena's ghost? Would have been better if it had tried to warn you or something..
4) Why did Dafoe want a body made of a few peoples parts? Why not just use one persons whole body?

Zooty:

Spoiler

Have you been in the captain's room yet? If you haven't, his room keycard is outside and inside there you'll find an object. Give it to the woman captain.

Spoiler

Also, I was sitting around in the airlock for ages waiting for the welder to arrive - it was a bit silly that you had to *close* the door to make him arrive.

[close]

Spoiler

I've finally managed to get the welder to follow me into the airlock, but when we are both outside I can't get him up to the radio masts Please help!!!

[close]

EDIT:

Spoiler

It seems very hit and miss, but he finally appeared on the roof and I killed him.

[close]

The game was very good, but the timed sequences and

Spoiler

the obscurity of killing the captain - wouldn't have thought of that in a million years!

[close]

ruined the game for me - I definitely prefer the original...

[Redwall]

yeah, but it still makes me a bit mad, cuz i was walking into a door (the confrence one, to be exact) and the second i got to it, Barry showed up  :

well, w/e  , but I'm stuck on the Barry chasing you part, what do i do or where do i go?

That happened to me all the time too, it is annoying. It seemed to me that he (and the... err... nevermind) only shows up in the first ten seconds or so though, so I just waited and then took my chances.

I think there's a hint for you at the top of the third page.

[Phemar]

I got some buggies:

Spoiler

1. You can get the hand lotsa times
2. You can walk into the elevator lotsa times, when the door is closed
3. You can't save/load in the conference room
4. I assume only one cursor should be used in the game, but sometimes my cursor goes to use inventory

[close]

I'm not sure if these have been mentioned before, just what I found.

Great game so far, the interface is surely alot better. I just wish I could look at inventory items.

Loving the game so far. The puzzles aren't too hard and aren't too easy. Woopee

Yay Yahtzee!

EDIT: Another bug:

[hint]
1. You can discover Serena's Torso numerous times and play the cutscene all over again.
[/hint]

[Lazy Z]

Zor, right click on an inventory item to look at it.

[Sam.]

i'm really confused.

Spoiler

I am looking for this escape pod car and have found the abbatoir place. As soon as i go back into the escape room 9after doing or picking up nothing) I get a conversation about a letter. the escape pod opens and we both get sucked out. what have i done wrong?

[close]

[Sinitrena]

I think I've found a bug no-one else mentioned.

Spoiler

After you throw the idol down the ship you still have it in your inventory.

[close]

[Dart]

Zooty:

Spoiler

Right after the guy finishes reading the letter, use the 'hand' tool on the left-most escape pod's lever to prevent being blown away.

[close]

[Mephistophilis]

Simian:
Dafoe was the Abomination, That's what body he is and why he has the Idol. and it explains that DaFoe thinks the Bodies are weak, and that's why William builds one out of the best parts. Serena's Ghost just adds to the Spookiness I think.

[ryan]

another bug/design flaw:

Spoiler

when im on the outside on Sunday with the welder, and i look in my inventory, theres an object that looks like a switch, and is called 'fhfth', and it all it says when i try to use it, it spits out "I may need it".

[close]

[ryan]

well, i finally finished. and man..that ending was the biggest twist EVER!!! great game, apart from the bugs, this is a must for ne AGS fan. 

[Sam.]

great game but the ending was just obscure. it really made no sense

Spoiler

what was the point of having him holding a false identity? he didn't do anything wrong did he? daFOe was the killer... If he wasn't then what was the point li nking the two games up?? Bah.
