@brushfe,
I am not sure if you talk about the same room or the same chapter of the game.
The hint
Spoiler
O=C/2 is scribbled on the wall behind the dumpster and the bin
D=3 is written on the poster and
E=DOC is written on the note in the wall left to the lock
C=2 is written directly below the lock
[close]
Did you complete the outlander's chapter?
EDIT:
Or did you mean the lock in the
Spoiler
police office?

I believe that you are at THIS point.
If yes :

Big spoiler:

Use the spray pump on the lock to create a short circuit

Well, this numeric lock puzzle is tricky.
This is what I found so far
Spoiler
The note under the lock reads : C=2
The note from the bin reads : E=DOC
The note on the wall reads : O=C/2
Assuming that the letters represent numbers and that they are not multiplied,
and substituting O with C/2, the note from the bin would read E=D C/2 C
Since C=2, and using the alphabetic order for E and D, this would mean 5 4 2/2 2 = 5412
Unfortunately, it doesn't work   ???

EDIT:
I found this on the
Spoiler
Poster : D=3
But 5 3 1 2 doesn't work either...

I have come quite far in this great game, but now I am desperately  stuck
Spoiler
In Chapter 7, I am stuck in the police office where I have to free inspector Ludd.
I cannot access the keycard, guess I have to distract Captain Rollins, most likely
by turning on the TV, but the remote control (if any) is nowhere to be found....

A slight nudge is greatly appreciated, thx in advance !

This game is fantastic!
Atmosphere, Story, Soundtrack, Puzzles:
A Masterpiece !
I`m at 101 of 180 Points, so I guess there's still a lot more to come

Hi Rik,
I know my description was a little confusing
I could send you my savegames if you like
Another strange thing:
Spoiler
I can even float to the bottom floor to the screen below, strange
Is this intended?

I will have access to my laptop around noon, so let me know

Hi Rik !
First of all : Thanks for this great game !
I have come quite far today , but I am afraid I ran into a severe bug
Spoiler
I am at the point where I have to meet the outlanders.
I could not open the big gate, so I managed to open the door on the room to the right,
the one with the big switch.
Then I can walk past the droid which keeps pushing me back and pick up the iron bar.
Also , I can open the door where I find the sign stone.
There is nothing else I can do in this room, but I can walk back into the corridor
and climb the ladder, where I can find a rusty chain and another iron bar.
When I walk to the right , i can click a screen on the floor below (actually inaccessible)
which then displays a messagein alien language and the translation , i guess.
I can barely close the text window at the bottom of the screen, at that time I get another
small "switch" window, very strange. I cannot imagine that this is intended, looks like a bug to me.
Also, I think I could even get past the droid and moved further to the right just to
land in the room where I found the sign stone, but I failed to reproduce it

This is a very nice old school adventure game,
unfortunately I encountered a few , i guess severe, bugs :
Spoiler
I am at the point where I have to defeat the drunk at the bar.
Obviously, I don't have the right item , I guess it might be found
in the storage room, where I could only find a towel and a few beers
The moment the drunk approaches me, I can use the door to go outside, where
the soldiers have now disappeared. Then I can walk back in I am not attacked anymore.
During these actions, my player is always walking backwards...
AND : Then I can even walk into my room and get another passport from the nightstand,
which is not intended, I guess...
[close]
EDIT: I finished the game after finding the right object.
Looking forward to see more from You, very nice work !

Thank you Honza,
Spoiler
I mixed up S and W, no wonder....

Once more : Great game with an even greater ending !
Cheers and happy holidays !

This is strange...
Spoiler
I guess the scissors like symbol of the buttons on the left side represents the north direction
and the other symbol of the buttons on the left side represents the south direction. is that right?
So guessing the east and west direction is a 50/50 chance
Do the buttons on the left side of the panel have a function or are they just there to show the N and S direction
and otherwise are just a red herring?
I am totally confused...

Thanks VampireWombat, Thanks Honza !
I still don't get it.....
Spoiler
There are two buttons on the left, I assume they show the N and S direction
Then there is the direction pad with N,S.E.W directions
Then there is the note showing 5 symbols, from my understanding it's S,N,E,W and N
Or S,N,W,E and N
Sliding the button in these directions does nothing....
Pressing the buttons on the left does nothing....
(It's not working)....
[close]
Help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance and a merry Xmas and happy holidays to all of you!

Wow Honza !
Great game , I never played the first version,
the voice acting is brilliant.
I am totally stuck with
Spoiler
the control panel. I guess it controls the position of the satellite dish
and it has something to do with the not, but nothing happens when I press
in N,S,E or W direction

This is another gem in the AGS collection, simply great  !

@Sakkeus,
savegames worked, but now I am totally stuck...
Spoiler
... near the end.i guess I have to fiddle with the fuse box,
but there is now way to open it, cannot find a suitable tool for the lock
Also, when using the mirror on the corner,there is no way to access
the items in my inventory
