DEVIL'S SHROUD - HELP with SATAN'S BOOK-COMPUTER - OK SOLVED

[sunshinegold]

Is there someone who could PLEASE help me

I got the book from my bookshelf in living room but I just get the message that there is nothing in the book that looks like the blood from the 'door'.Ã,  I only saw and taken picture of the blood on the 'wall'.

I went back to the room but cannot see any blood on the 'door'.Ã, 

If there is.....could you please tell me how to get it ???Ã,  Ã, 

If it's the blood on the wall, can you tell me how to use the book with my computer ???Ã, 

I've been stuck for a few days but no one seem to be able to help me :(Ã,  Ã,  Ã, .........and it looks like I have to do something with the picture/book before I can go further in the game

WHERE ARE ALL THE PLAYERS

This game was very popular and all of a sudden it seems no one is playing it anymore

I can't believe no one is reading this post and that there is not 1 good soul to help me

I cannot remember exact details,  but blood on "door" is not right.    I am going to see if I still have a saved game to go back and check.    I know that on the computer it involves increasing the image of the blood stain and then somehow comparing the book to a "hotspot" that was on the enlarged blood stain.  The hot spot was slightly down and right (I think).

From what I remember since I played this game so long ago. .. In the area with the monk's body there should be a hotspot of a blood smear on the wall near the body or right next the body (sorry, I don't remember exactly).  This should trigger an up-close view of the blood pattern at which point you should take a picture of it.  Scan the photo into the computer and compare it with the one in the book to find that they match.

Thanks to both of you.  But that IS my problem.  I can enlarge (magnify) the blood picture from camera on the computer but I CANNOT do anything with the Satanic book that I got from my bookcase.  I cannot use it with the computer.  It keeps saying 'I don't see anything that looks that the bloodstain'.

My question is:  IS THAT THE BOOK or IS THERE ANOTHER BOOK.

I thought it could be a bug so I erased and downloaded the game a second time and now I am STILL STUCK with the computer :'(

[miryoku_81]

I think there is only one book that you get from the bookshelf in the TV room.Ã,  Have you looked at the actual book, and clicked "look" on the actual picture of the symbol?  Have you tried clicking the book on the blood hotspot back at the murder scene?  I think your character will comment that they look similar but you will have to do a more thorough analysis to make sure.  This should trigger you to be able to scan the book into the computer.

Thanks I will try this.              and let you know if it works

So far it is not working :'(

I will delete my game one more time (and the last time) and try it again.

THANK YOU,  I really appreciate you answering me.

[miryoku_81]

That's very odd that it is not working.    I will try re-downloading and replaying the game tomorrow so see if I have any problems.  I remember that I downloaded one of the first versions of the game, so perhaps if the file was altered in some way since then this may be a new bug.

If you don't have any bugs in your version, could you please tell me where I can get your version

It a shame not to be able to play this game, it seems to be so good

[miryoku_81]

Actually, I deleted the original release once I finished the game.  So I downloaded the current version which I'm assuming is the same one that you have.  I'll play it sometime over the next couple of days, and I'll let you know if I'm able to complete that puzzle.

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer me back and for taking the time to restart the game to see if you can pass that puzzle

If you do encounter the same problem/bug, do you think you would remember when and where you downloaded the first version

[miryoku_81]

No problem It was a fun game to play the first time around anyway, so playing it again will be too.Ã,  Besides, everyone helps everyone else out on these boards.

I downloaded the original release from the same link as the one that's currently up.Ã,  I'm not sure if the game was updated or changed in anyway - I was just speculating that it might have been.

****UPDATE***:
I just completed the symbol matching part.  I include a detailed walkthrough from the crime scene to the computer match:

- look at everything in the room (robe, bed, window, knife, body, blood at victim's neck, and the blood on the wall) - you can also click the hand icon on everything to perform a more thorough search if you want but you won't pick anything up
- take photo of blood on wall
- return to apartment and scan photo of blood stain into the computer.  Click the "hand" icon on the "magnifying glass" button and click on the bottom right part of the photo to zoom in (be sure that you actually click your "hand" icon on the "magnifying glass" button in the computer program rather than just clicking your "magnifying glass" icon directly on the photo as this will only "look" at the photo rather than actually "magnify" the symbol)
- this brings up a close-up of the symbol in blood
- exit and get the book on satanism on the shelf
- look at the book & look at the symbol (your character will then comment that it looks similar to the blood symbol but you need the computer for a match)
- re-scan the photo of the blood stain into the computer and zoom into the close-up again
- scan the book into the computer
- click the "hand" icon on the "M" button to perform the match

After that, this should allow you to access parts of the game that you couldn't before.  Let me know if you're still having trouble.

Miryoku_81,

I thank you so much for all the trouble you gave yourself to help me out.

It is now 01:15 am and I need to get some sleep.  I will try again later on in the day and I will let you know if it works. 

From your message, I just noticed something different than the previous hints.  That is: to scan photo AND THEN go and get the book from bookcase.....before I always went to get the book and then went to computer and use the camera and TRIED to look at picture from book.  THAT COULD VERY WELL BE 'THE' DIFFERENCE/PROBLEM 

So once again thank you very much.  I will definitely let you know if it works or not.

sunshinegold,
     Wishing you a Happy Birthday! (noticed it in the calendar..don't know which day for sure)

    I re-downloaded the game again and have had crash after crash. But,  I did make it to the computer and I wrote down the steps that worked for me in matching the images.     My steps are "almost" idential to miryoku's description.   Only slight differences.   Maybe between the steps miroku has described and mine,  you will get it to work for you.

Spoiler

Look at book before starting computer.
Click and turn on computer.
Open grafics sofware program.
Click A (aquire source)....  Select camera.
Enlarge blookstain.  LOOK at bloodstain.
Open inventory and LOOK at book,  then LOOK at image/symbol in book.    Text says something like "I'm going to make the matching with the computer"
Exit the book.
Re-open the graphics program on computer.
Click A again and select camera again.
Click A again and select book.
Two images should appear.
Magnify/enlarge blood stain's "hotspot"
Click the "M" -      should say matching done!

Thank you for the birthday wishes

I did not have a chance to try Miryoku's walkthru yet.

I will try both if I have to.  I will save before each.

I will let you know which one works for me

Thank you again
