Hints & Tips / Re: A RainDog Story

Aaaand finished. Nice game, good mood, story, characters, visually, but too many pixel hunts (the plane model is insanely hard to catch, even when knowing what to look, it's still hard to catch it!), and few location finding problems (no "hotspots" for screen exits). We want more! (without pixel hunts ;))

And at least one bug: in the beginning, if you use the branch in the fan, wait for the barber to open the window and then exit the scene and come back, the window is closed. It's a dead end. No new branch.

THAT'S IT!! What can I say? Thanks a million billion trillion GAZILLION for the help!! You're a really really special kind of human being for taking the time to re-play and help me, and others.


P.S. I have to say this (maybe the author reads this board), the music in the music shop is mesmerizing. Many times when I've traveled past it, I've popped in to the shop just for listening the tune for a while. :D

Ok, cloth found, it was really nicely blended into the background and easily missed. Thanks.

Check gotten and given to Irving some time ago. I don't actually remember which chapter I'm in.. third? (getting the drummer?)

The guy is standing next to the phone pole where the straps are. What do I have to do to that guy for him to leave and be able to pick up the straps? It's probably something easy but I'm just not getting it right.

I've not listed the inventory before this because it takes a while.. this would be much easier, or rather we wouldn't talk about it, if somebody would write a walkthrough. ;)

inventory: wallet, guitar, gauzes, map, scissors, lock pick, ticket, keys, coins, wine, pass, photo, remote control, batteries, hose, beam, cup w/ cloth, paint.

Thanks again!

cleaning cloth

??? Where do I get that?

This game is very hard because of the pixel hunting needed. Also that "screen/location exits" are not "hotspotted" (It took me a visit here to know that I can go behind the bar and after then found the barber, etc... I was stuck for a long time because of that).. I hope the author sees these problems if he's going to make a new game (YES PLEASE!)

Yes, you have to use the straps (on pole) to climb up to the sign

It seems that there is a misunderstanding here. I don't have them yet. I asked how to get them. I can't currently because there's a man reading a newspaper. How do I get them from the telephone pole? Distract the man somehow? How?

Thanks!

Hi Tabata, thanks for taking the time to answer.

In real world I would use almost any of the items I'm carrying in the game to boil the water without getting my fingers burnt.. but this is game world, I've tried, believe me. Please don't answer in riddles, thanks.

I believe that I know what to do after I get the straps and boil the water. How do I do those? Please, no riddles, like I said, I've used tons of hours already and if I'm not going to advance in the game, I must leave it, I don't have time to mess around with it forever (which is beginning to get irritating, while games should be enjoyed).. when I was a young kid, I had time (sometimes many months) to play Police Quest 1 and such games, but not anymore.

Great game.. but hard, so I'm stuck.

I just have "moved" the bum to the motel and I reckon that I should get the climbing straps to advance, but I can't. The man won't leave. What to do?

Also how to boil the water in the tin cup? ("handle would be too hot", when trying to do it)

I've already spent too much time trying everything (yeah, well maybe not everything because I'm stuck :)), help needed. Thanks!
