Hi, just been playing the game, it is excellent! I am stuck somewhere in it at the moment... I am up to where I have now seen the ghost man in the family wedding and christmas photos and talked to Alli the ghost in the park and gotten the Deacon and Ouijia board as one entry line in the notebook... I am stuck at the part as to what I need to do to progress, how do I get the security guard to let me go and see susan lee in the bellavue hospital? Hints would be great... and how do I add in that 'spoiler' hidden text box? (never done this one before so my apologies).
Cheers

you say "hide" in square brackets, like this:

Spoiler

You need a name she will have asked for, perhaps, and pretend to be him/her

Hi SSH thanks for the help on making it a spoiler hide, and the name thing, I have tried all of that, does not work at all...... so not sure where to go to get to this point of being able to use a name from the list.....

I was stuck at this point (I think) for a long time. Did you take time to really talk with Joey yet?

Ah, yes I have, I spoke to him about everything.... hmmm..... I noticed after I looked at the 2 family photos from the letter, after Joey appeared into the game, that the photos changed - they have Joey in it as a ghost, and I talked to joey about those photos.... so I wonder what I might be missing. I asked him about Devonport but he doesnt say much on that and it doesnt change the list. I am not sure if Davenport is the person that Rosa must use as a name to get in to see Susan...

Yes, the name is what you're missing. I'm guessing that you haven't gotten to read JoAnn's Notebook yet. Perhaps Joey's ghostly powers could help you in that respect?

Ah yes I have tried and tried to read it but the Kelly girl roommate wont let me and Joey won't talk in the room.... how will I use his powers?

GarageGothic · Tue 26/12/2006 01:10:01

Spoiler

Joey won't talk to you, because you would seem like a crazy person talking to thin air... what if Kelly thought you were actually talking to someone?

Has it ever occured to you how people talking on their cell phones might just as well be crazy people muttering to themselves?

[close]

Incidentally, I'm stuck at a later point. I'm trying to bring the ghost to rest...

Spoiler

I know that the girls called up the Deacon with a Ouija board, and I know that the ghost (Allin, was it?) was fond of dogs. I figure I can use Nashanti's dog to get her to accept her death, as per Joey's explanation.

I want to get the dog to follow me, and I believe it has something to do with the dog biscuits. Whatever I do, though, Rosangela just gives Moti the biscuit, and it doesn't follow me out or anything. Do I need Joey to scare the dog towards the door? Do I need more biscuits? Is there anything else I need to do first?

Did you return to Susan at the hospital?

Snarky · Tue 26/12/2006 01:24:17

Yeah, I went back and played some more, and I just got it. Thanks, though!

Leonard LePage · Tue 26/12/2006 01:29:42

Could someone give me a hint? I can't seem to figure out how to attain a picture of JoAnn. I haven't seen Joey yet, and I've just recently recieved my assignment from Bob. Everyone else seems so far along, I don't know why I'm stuck here.

GarageGothic · Tue 26/12/2006 01:39:38

Spoiler

Most probably you didn't try to combine different facts in your notebook. This was something that took me a while to get used to when playing The Shivah as well (and Discworld Noir before that).

Oooh thanks Snarky and GarageGothic!!! I've got the idea -

Spoiler

there was a good reason for the phone use in Kels room to still have the cursors being active for player

..... I'm goin to try now!!

gypsysnail · Tue 26/12/2006 02:48:05

Yup it worked!!! Now...

Spoiler

I have the pill after seeing susan two times... and its late at night... not sure how to get the dog to the park.... how would I be able to get Joey to talk without seeming like I am crazy while in Nitashani's unit?

Disco · Tue 26/12/2006 04:04:09

Spoiler

Why did Susan ask you to take those pills again? What did they do? Do you see any newspapers on the floor of Nishanti's apartment?

[close]

gypsysnail · Tue 26/12/2006 04:17:01

Hmmmm...

Spoiler

no I cant see news papers in her apartment, but also didnt know susan said to take them again?.... not sure I am understanding something here...?

The pills are a diuretic. If you don't know what that means, look it up. They could have a useful effect...

Hmmm ok I did that, I know it encourages more urine but.... what for? I dont understand this point, I completely fail to see how useful it would be for the player....? or is it for the dog? I really dont know how to do this, can sumone pls help me... pls tell me HOW do I use the pill? Cos there is no way of 'using' items.....

Spoiler

you can't use inventory on hotspots, but you CAN use them on each other, combine them. The newspapers was a subtle clue about the dog needing a wee, which can be forced with diuretic pills. As Joey would say, you dig?
