How do you save/load/quit???

And...

Spoiler

I'm stuck at the beginning...what do I do?

[close]

[Venus]

Save/load/quit: On the right side of the inventory GUI are two little buttons. The one on the top opens save/load GUI, the one at the bottom the quit one. If you want to load the game before the intro is played, push F5. Btw, all this information could have been found in the readme and/or the info screen you get when you press F12 in the game.

Concerning the beginning:

Spoiler

Where exactly are you stuck? What have you done so far? Are you already out of your jacket? If not, read the next spoilers for hint and solution. If you have already freed yourself, please be a little more specific on what parts you need help.

[close]

Hint:

Spoiler

Since you don't have any weapons on you, you have to use something that's on your own body.

[close]

Solution:

Spoiler

Try to use the eye and the brain on yourself. I think that should do the trick.

Hope that helped

Hi, Im having difficulty in finding...

Spoiler

Dr Mitchel's office. I have the injection, but cannot use it or enter Knox's office until I fond Mitchel's office

[close]

Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

[Venus]

Spoiler

Mitchell's office is on the way to Knox's office. If you want to know where it is exactly, read the next spoiler. Otherwise just try and look at the doors on the way to Knox's office. If you find the right one, you'll get a message.

[close]

Spoiler

Mitchell's office is in the corridor where you can't go straight on because of guards, but just to the left to Knox's office. There is only this one door that leads to Mitchell's office. I think you still need to look at it or use the brain on it, to actually notice that it is Mitchell's office, as it now belongs to someone else.

[close]

Hope that helped.

Venus, I did get the information screen to come up but everything scrolled by so fast, I couldn't really make it all out... And I didn't know those little buttons were there, so thank you.

Also...

Spoiler

I kind of figured out I have to use his toenails to get free, but I just don't know how...

[close]

[ida]

Thanks Venus!

[CoolGuy]

Spoiler

I've injected myself with the drug, done the brain-chart bit, looked through the computer, and I've been shot.  So, assuming that there's a not-being-shot alternative, what am I supposed to do?  I assume I have to find a way to get my "eye" guage to raise, but I've no idea how to go about doing that.

[close]

Ditto for me!

Dizzy:

Spoiler

As far as I remember you have to use the eye or the brain or both (I could check if you need to know precisely) on yourself and that's it. I didn't have any clue about the toe-nails before I used the eye and the brain on the player character and he suddenly used them to free himself. Just toy around with those and I'm sure you'll get the solution.

[close]

CoolGuy:

Spoiler

Yes, there is an alternative not being shot-ending and you are right, you have to get your eye gauge to raise. Usually this is done by injecting the drug in Mitchell's office. If you have done that, I have no idea whatsoever why you still didn't get that happy-ending, because for me, that just did the trick. Maybe I'm missing something or you might have found an unspotted bug here. I'd advise you to try again and if that doesn't work, maybe pm ProgZ. Good luck anyway.

Hope that helped.

[Vertigo]

Can someone please set me straight on this alternate ending? I can't seem to avoid being shot...I injected the drug in Mitchell's office, then I went through Knox's office, and through the computer, but he shoots me. If what I read in the previous replies is true, then I'm supposed to get my eye gauge full to avoid being shot, but how do I do that? What other information do I need? And sorry for not making this a spoiler bar, but I don't know how to do that...

[Venus]

Alright, I think I've finally worked out how this game works:

How to get the happy ending:
Hint:

Spoiler

It's not just about taking the drug in Mitchell's office as this is just one of the events that trigger a memory and therefore raise the bar. To get the happy ending you need to find all the lost memories in the game. Make sure to look at everything while you walk around the sanitarium and don't forget to also use your brain. I think that there are only three memories that can be avoided in the game. Read the next spoiler if you don't wanna do the searching yourself.

[close]

Solution:

Spoiler

Make sure you looked at and thought about the following things before entering Knox's office:
1. the brain charts in the treatment room
2. the sign behind Burke and Hare

and make sure to inject yourself the drug in Mitchell's office. I just tried it once again doing all these things and got the happy ending, so I'm pretty sure this is going to work.

[close]

Hope that helped.

I can't get to the stupid diary!

I got there once, and can't get there again.  I'm clicking like a mad fool and all I get is "You could almost touch it with the back of your head".

ArrrggghhH!!!

Is there a special 'clicky' spot?

[mcc300]

Never mind... got it again.

What a p.i.t.a.

[Vertigo]

Hmm...I didn't read the second spoiler because I want to try and find them myself. It may take a while, but I already have some ideas where to look. I didn't use the brain as much as I probably would have liked, either....are the remaining "catalysts", as I call them, difficult to find, or are they fairly apparent?

[Venus]

I think they are fairly apparent, at least they were for me.

Spoiler

They are certainly meant to be looked at 

[close]

[Vertigo]

In the second part where you see Dr. Mitchell's "ghost", no dialogue appears. The apparitions just fade. Is this a glitch I'm experiencing, or is it supposed to be like that? Also, I contemplated the brain chart in the treatment room, and Noah identified each lobe and the specific Frontal Lobe picture, but is there something more to it? Also, the sign behind Burke and Hare just seems "familiar", Noah can never quite seem to place it. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

[Venus]

Vertigo:

Spoiler

Take a look at you eye gauge. If it goes up, you're doing the right thing.
Concerning the Mitchell's ghost scene, I think there is no dialog, just the fading. At least that's what I saw.

[close]

For the future, the code for spoiler bar is [ hide ] text in spoiler [ / hide ] without the spaces.

[Vertigo]

YES!!! I found all the catalysts without having to look at the hints, and I found out what really happened! I have got to say, I did not see that ending coming. This was a very well-written game plot-wise, and very captivating graphics-wise. This is one of the best adventure games I've played, rivaling Yahtzee's classic 5 Days A Stranger. Extremely well done!

[mime]

Please help.  Have talked to Lena regarding the office to find the stuff about
Dr. Mitchel.  But none of the room I can enter.

[Venus]

Spoiler

Which inventory items do you have? Have you even found Dr. Mitchell's office yet? Have you already got past Burke and Hayes?
It'd be much easier to help you, knowing this stuff. Without it, I can just give you a little hint: you'll need keys...

Just a note about the 'ghost' sequences:

Spoiler

There is an intermittent timer based issue in the game that I could never quite nail down, even with the help of my testers.  Basically, when the game begins the Delirium Mode timer is reset to 0 and all should be well.  Unfortunately, (and quite randomly I might add) sometimes this doesn't occur- often on reloads where you don't quit first.  As a result, the ghost memory sequences flick on and off and you miss dialog that while not necessary does add something to the story.  I apologize if this is an inconvenience.  When I figure out why exactly it occurs I'll make an updated release.
