Great, I'm really looking forward to Shardlight!

Grundislav, how are things progressing on Shardlight?  Is it still on track for the last part of 2015?

Hi.  I'd like some help please.  I've read all the posts and I still can't figure out what to do.

Spoiler

I managed to get the hoses working (thanks to a hint I found on the forum).  I have 2 spark plugs, a red key, a brown key, a book, shears, a washer and an electro magnet.  Apparently I'm supposed to get the generator working but I can't figure out how to do it.  Am I supposed to do something with the control box?  I can't get it open.

Just found the answer.

I particularly like how the puzzles fit into the flow of the story.  None of them feel like they're just thrown in to make the game longer or more complicated.

IT'S THE BONE!

Thanks for the hint but unfortunately it didn't work.

When I grab the 2 trolls they appear on the bottom as trolls x2.  When I click on trolls x2 and then point to the device, the green troll climbs up the pink one.  But Clod doesn't climb up.  If I click on smash and then point to the device Clod says "too high"

Good game but I couldn't solve the last puzzle.  Is there a bug?

Spoiler

I used the 2 trolls I freed (trolls x 2) on the device above Gabb's cell.  All that happened is the trolls climbed on each other.  I tried again.  The trolls again climbed on each other.  They never smashed the device.

I loved the entire series and I found the ending satisfying, in a complicated, real-life sort of way (if anything involving the supernatural can be considered real-life).  For your next series you may want to ditch the supernatural stuff and focus on human relationships - maybe a love story/mystery combination?  Oh and please continue having Ben Chandler do the art - his work looks like an impressionistic painting.

Eternally Us.  All of Ben 304's games are memorable but that one was really outstanding.

Good game - interesting story, philosophical and psychological issues, Ben 304 graphics.

I found the walkthrough and completed the game.  I enjoyed the philosophical elements - something you see in a lot of Dave Gilbert games (like Blackwell).

I'm stuck.  I met DeMarco at the bar, spoke to Rabbi Zelig and got his card.  I've run out of things to do.

Rebirth was cool and I like the Reaper so far but I'm stuck.  Help would be appreciated.

I need to fix the hole in the pipe.  I tried using the oily rag and the message was something about the rag not working on the clamp.  So obviously I need to find a clamp somewhere but I have no idea where it could be.  It's not in the car, the rubble, the dead tree, the power control, the corpse, the rubble, the picture or the pump.  I have nowhere else to look!

Never mind!!

Between Dave's writing and Ben's art, how can you NOT have a great game?

Thanks, Fredric09 and Fitz.  I don't know that I ever would have been able to figure it out on my own.

Stuck again.

I have the telescope with the captain's image burned on it, but I can't do anything with it.  Also, I think I'm supposed to use Karaoke to get the lamp from the three brothers but I tried mentioning the things they liked and disliked and they still won't let me have the lamp.

I was doing fine until now but I'm stumped.

Spoiler

I freed the kids, filled up the leaf with water and shampoo and put it on the counter.  What now?

What does the hintsystem say? It's helpful for me to know which hints are too obscure so I can make them more explicit where needed.

Spoiler

The instructions in the missal are not for the bell (in fact you don't need to do anything to the  bell at all).
Instead you need the instructions from the tablet.
THE SKY 2 1 3 8 THE EARTH
Where (in the well) are 8 things you can interact with?

Thanks for the info.  The hint is very vague.  It says only:

Spoiler

There must be something to do in the well.

I'm stuck.

Here's where I currently am.

Spoiler

I'm at the bottom of the well

Here's what I have in inventory.

Spoiler

Missal, chapel key, tablet, page from a missal, sieve, pitchfork, pin, glove, small key, bar

[close]

Here's what I think I need to do now.

Spoiler

Hit the bell with the bar in accordance with instructions from the missal, but I can't determine what the missal is supposed to tell me.

Could someone give me some assistance?

Never mind, figured it out.
