No, there are actually more endings, depending on how you response to Ed's questions and what you do...especially in the final battle

Okay, well I definitely got "good" and "bad" endings in the final battle, but I didn't mean those. I meant that it seemed like there were large branches of the plot which would change direction if you chose differently halfway through the game. Maybe not -- it just felt like that was the case.

CoolGuy - as I haven't quite completed the game this is only a guess, but

Spoiler

quite early in the game, didn't you have a choice whether to trust Bennett or not?  I wonder if that's a game changer.

Been through the game twice now trying completely different approaches at several seemingly crucial points, but I'm still getting the same ending. Maybe all the choices are just a red herring? LOL

Beat the game a few days ago (no hints -- like a boss), but feels like there should be alternate paths/endings, based upon the way events played out. Can anyone confirm or deny?

Yes, there are

I guess maybe I should have been more specific. I've gone through the entire game again looking for new paths, but I haven't found any. In particular...

Spoiler

I thought for sure that if I had Anna save the research instead of destroying it that Ed wouldn't turn out to be the bad guy but instead someone else. But, maybe I was thinking too much into it. I did find a couple different endings at the very end depending on how you handle Ed, of course, but that's at the very end of the game. Are there other paths that I missed?

Oops forget that, I don't think you need it (it's been a while).

The note goes in the teleporter (the engg one)

Thanks. Back on track.

Did you also

Spoiler

make a correct label

[close]

?

You mean...

Spoiler

on the other CD? I made one CD with a "Happy Days" label on it with "Happy Days" music, and another CD with a "Happy Days" label on it with bad goth music on it. I gave the latter one to the robot which then shut down. I still have the former one.

Thanks.

Ok, so...

...nobody can help...?

Ok, so...

Got the note, nothing happened afterward. (Really, I expected something to happen after all the fuss about the note's importance at the beginning of the game.) Tried to give the note to everyone, nothing. Got bored. Started looking around at CD's and fixed my computer, burned a few CD's, gave one of them with incorrect label to the robot, and was able to pop him open and get his CPU. Now, stuck after that. No obvious tasks to do now. Help?

O.K. I see what your missing...here's what you do

Can't believe I missed that. Thanks; back on the right track.

When your the alien for the 2nd time...

Spoiler

use the old meat on the crab trap to get the fish hook...Now use the fish hook on the phone cord to get *fishing line* .....you can now go to the bathroom and get the key

Crab trap..?

Sorry, you have to realize I'm reading as little as possible in order to spoil as little of the game as possible.

hey CoolGuy,

it appears your still missing another item

But how do I

Spoiler

get in Jimmy's room (2nd time)

[close]

?

As the alien (2nd time), I have the...

Spoiler

hairspray, meat from the bone, hanger, lens, and cable from telephone. I have moved the battery to the treehouse. Since I have a power source, cable, and antenna (hanger), how come I still can't use the radio?

What's next? Thanks.

[WOOOOOOOOOO!]

WOOOOOOOOOO!

After two hours with tech support, we figured it out!  And it's the most convoluted and arbitrary solution ever.

Basically, the laptop was running in something called "Entertainment Mode."  I'm not sure what that means, but all I had to do was switch it to "High Performance Mode" and magically all my problems went away.  I never would have thought of that in a bazillion years.

So.  Phew.  That's a relief.  Thanks for all the advice, everyone.  As for me, it's back to testing, I suppose.  

Switching to "High Performance" mode on my laptop also worked to fix the problem for me. My problem was slightly different in that the games would run, but the mouse would freeze every 5 seconds or so, and sometimes the mouse would freeze altogether until I left the window and came back to it. How awkwardly convoluted.

You can move the table... but make sure to push the table EDGE.

Thanks; that got it.

You can find a new lens in the security camera that watches you

[close]

Spoiler

But you have to find a way to cover the camera first, so the guard guy can't see what you're doing

[close]

Dang, I already knew both things you told me. (Well, I suspected the first one and knew the second.) The essential problem then is...

Spoiler

...I can't reach the camera?

[close]

Tnx,

I can't find...

Spoiler

...a new lens to replace the broken one from the food dispenser. Where do I get one?

[close]

Thanks.

Did you pick up the fork in the kitchen?

[close]

Okay, I got it when you said that. It's a bit confusing because

Spoiler

"Use" somehow means "Power" when it's in your inventory, yet they are different elsewhere? Ah well. Thanks.

Uh, I'm stuck in the video room:

Spoiler

I am pretty sure I have to put something in the box to open the steel door. I haven't seen an object of that shape yet, so my guess is that I have to use all the metal objects in my inventory to make it. I am guessing I need to use my powers to bend metal or something, or maybe put the parts in the oven to heat them up first, but none of that has worked. Help?
