I am at the door puzzle. But there are four numbers marked by the finger print set. There are thousands of combinations for four numberrs. am I missing something? thanks!

Leon · Sat 18/04/2009 08:45:55

Yep, you're missing something. There's a trick to bring the 5040 possible combinations back to 24.
You use your fingers to enter the code, right? And there's a way to reveal that....

Spoiler

Go to the policestation and get a fingerprint leaflet for kids. There's a sample on it that you can use on the keypad so it only show the four keys that are used. Since these are 4 different ones, it leaves you 24 possibilities. Knowing Murphy you probably need them...

I think, if I am reading correctly, that Gimble already got that far. The four numbers are already known to him. So that means the four digit code is needed to unlock the door.

I made this puzzle like real-life. If nobody was available to get you into the room in real life, and you actually did this to figure out which keypad buttons were used, you would be in this situation. Your only recourse would be randomly pushing things

So no, you aren't missing anything, the code is unknown to you, and you need to figure it out. The only way to do that is trying combinations until you get it.

But, for help, here are some pointers:

1st digit of the code:

Spoiler

8

1st two digits:

Spoiler

81

[close]

Full code :

Spoiler

8137

On a side note, a friend of mine was playing through, and I was helping him solve some puzzles if he needed it, and I completely forgot the code. I forced him to go through all the combinations because I couldn't be bothered to look it up

Hope it helps,

Bill

Leon · Sat 18/04/2009 13:20:54

Reading back, you're right. He already got that far. But then there aren't thousands of posibilities and with a bit of try and error the solution should be easily found. Probably after try 23...

And to correct my previous response... it's 10.000 possible combinations because you don't know that there might be a number repeated...

Gimble630 · Sat 18/04/2009 21:29:13

Done! Your right it is more realistic when you have to guess all four numbers.
Great job on this game. Really enjoyed it. Thanks....

Thanks! I am glad you liked it! Stay tuned for Episode 3, entering beta testing sometime in the next month or 2

Hi Bill, I want to compliment you in the way you Changed the Adventure Games. When I entered the library I thought I was in for a Nausiating search for a book that would contain an hour of reading. Didn't happen. The game itself is the puzzle. No distractions from the plot and lots of clues. Excellent new aproatch. Can't wait for the next one this is the way an adventure game should be built. Thanks
Bob

Wow Bob, that is a positively glowing review. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. Feedback is the reason I make games, and stuff like that makes it worth it

I look forward to getting Episode 3 out there.

Okay I'm on the first day and I've already visited the farmer(twice), the sheriff(twice), the vet, the dead cow, and then the professor. I have no clue what to do now.

Leon · Sun 09/08/2009 09:53:58

Hmmm... you might have missed some clues:

Spoiler

At the field where the cow was taken from (walk from the farm to the right), look at the drag marks, the blood spatter, the fence and the road left of the fence (easily missed).

[close]

If that's not it, give me your score so I can see where you are in the game.

CosmoQueen · Sun 09/08/2009 18:12:38

Okay I did that all that and now my score is at 121. I think I might need a lil more help. I looked at the walkthrough and I did everything it says to do for the first part, but it's still not going into the next day. Is it because I didn't do it in the right order? Should I start over?

CosmoQueen · Sun 09/08/2009 20:10:06

Well I started it over and followed the walkthrough but when I get back to the hotel nothing happens!!!

Leon · Sun 09/08/2009 20:35:40

It's not the order.. It must be something else. Did you complete all dialogs? What's in your inventory?

CosmoQueen · Sun 09/08/2009 20:46:34

I'm pretty sure I did. And what I have is my badge, gun, and phone.

Leon · Sun 09/08/2009 21:54:38

What's your score at the moment? Can you send me the savegame?

CosmoQueen · Sun 09/08/2009 21:58:15

It's 121 and sure I can.

Leon · Sun 09/08/2009 23:50:28

The only two points I can find during the first day are the fence in the field of the cow.

[update]

And indeed. In the field next to the farm, look at the gate (2 points). Talk to the sheriff and tell him your theory. Then leave the station and day 2 will start.
