Anticipating Murder

RedBlob · Sat 19/08/2006 21:31:04

Ok, I think I may have sorted it...

Make sure to touch the yellow pages twice. Depending on the order in which you uncover things, the first time you touch it, you may only get Rob's office and not the bar. The second time, you should uncover the bar, if you've done below.

Spoiler

Pay the Land Lady the $300, which you found in the toilet tank.

Sorry for the run around! Gosh, I worked on this project so long, I've forgotten some of my own puzzles...

@Fisher: I already interacted with the yellow pages and all personal notes i got. I only got a note saying "Bailey Pub at Corner of Main and Disa" but dont know hoe to use that note. The Pub is not in my list of places i can visit (only hospital, my apartment and office).

@quasar : All i (already) got from the toilet were 300$ i gave to my landlord. That was when she gave me the hint of the bar, which i used with the yellow pages to get the hint "Bailey Pub at Corner of Main and Disa".

So, thanks to both of you for your help but I'm still stuck....

Eish...maybe that's a bug. First, try this:

Spoiler

It should work if you touch the yellow pages, after you've paid the land lady $300 and read the note. You can also use the actual note about the bar on the yellow pages.

Otherwise, we will look into it. If you want, you can also email us the save game (just that file) and we'll check it out.

@RedBlob: Thanks for your offer. I'm still stuck, so i will send you my savegame so that you can have a look at it.

You are also talking about the Pub Door in an earlier post. My problem is that i can't find a bar in the game.....

@Bird: It really seems that we have the same problem, maybe a bug.

Bug Alert

We found a small bug that you should be aware of when playing (thanks Ndougou and Bird).

Regarding the yellow pages phone book, do NOT use the notes directly on the book. Interact with the book (with the hand) instead. Otherwise, you will be unable to view an important room in the game.

It was a result of a typo in the script (a "lose" instead of "add", urgh), but it only occurs if the note is used in place of the hand.

The later zip version will not have this bug. So sorry for the difficulty this caused anybody!

I have the answers (at least i think so), but i cant use the laptop... does the questionmark on the rhine-riesling note mean that i have to do something else with it?

Spoiler

Is it giving you a message when you click on it? Be sure you have the right birthdate. You can get the correct one from Rob, after getting the false one from Brett.

Do you have the third answer (the nickname)? If not, try talking to Rob again, and visiting the nurse at the hospital.

[close]

The wine with the question mark is just because it's the bartenders guess, but its a correct one.

RedBlob · Sun 20/08/2006 15:03:32

Also, with the laptop, you have to click two or three times in sequence to progress (typing in the answers).

Mordalles · Sun 20/08/2006 15:36:44

yes, i have the nickname as well.

i talked to rob and the nurse again, but nothing? i have all 3 correct answers, i think:

Spoiler

1."pumpkin"; 2."8-25-71", 3."Rhine Riesling?"

kenshinno1hk · Sun 20/08/2006 16:55:54

how could I go to rob's office after I pay $300 to the land lady ?

Those are the right answers, so you shouldn't need to talk to anyone else. At that point, it should be that the laptop clicked three times in succession should get you to the next stage...

If that doesn't work, and its not too much trouble, we can also look at the saved game just in case there's some error.

Get the cellphone off the kitchen table. Interact with it in the inventory, until you get Rob's message. Then use the yellow pages.

Mordalles · Sun 20/08/2006 17:36:50

thanks, redblob, i interacted with the laptop a few times and it worked!

Ndougou · Sun 20/08/2006 18:01:38

Thanks RedBlob for your workaround of the Bug.

And i want to say, that it is a fine game you have made (except of the bug, of course, but that can happen to everyone).

How did you guys get the program to advance into the bar? This and a few other bugs in the game are making it significantly less fun than I imagine that it would be. :-(

Since this is your 2nd post and if you used notes on the yellow pages, you might have encounted a bug.

Then replay game but simply use "Hand icon on the yellow pages instead notes.

If nothing work then I don't know!

Ndougou · Mon 21/08/2006 12:25:20

Yes, this is what I have done after RedBlob posted about the bug.
I simply restarted the game (It is not tooo much to replay) and did NOT use the note directly on the yellow pages. I simply interacted with the yellow pages. Then everything worked fine and i could proceed up to the end of the game.

Tam,
I've used the board and got what i needed off the guard, although I can't use it. Now I can't get out of the darned basement. Used hand, foot, eye icons on door, and it just says,....that's the way out...............
