I am afraid I found a severe bug

Spoiler

I am in the secret room and of course I couldn't figure out the password for the briefcase
(Must be a combination of EST ,ALEA and ACTAL, reminds me of my Latin in school :-))
ALEA I(L)ACTA EST ? Tried all possible combinations, but to no avail :-((
When trying to leave the room I end up in an infinite loop (" I'm not leaving empty handed"),
forcing me to press the abort key. Also cannot access the menu at this point.

Wow sthomannch, would have taken me ages to find this out !!!
Thanks yet one more time :-))

sthomannch, I believe I am pretty close to the end

Spoiler

Got one book from the RV, guess the second one is in the secret room.
I cannot break the window with the pick, guess I need the chain OR the fishing rod

[close]

Am I on the right track ?
Thanks yet again for your kind help !

Shadow1000, I agree, the dialogues are sometimes a bit cumbersome to follow,
however, they contain a lot of good humor.
I am amazed at how much work Diego put into this game.
Carry on, it's worth it !!

This game is actually HUGE and I love it !
You are on the right track !

Hey Shadow1000, glad to read that I am not the only one having trouble :-))

Spoiler

I don't remember which character has to give the note to the worker, try it with both,
you can interchange all items except cell phone and wallet

Hey sthomannch, thank you again for your help !
I am in the EDIT :

Spoiler

Store now and I assume that I will make more progress now.
Still don't know why to make a drink, don't know what I missed.
And I don't know how to get rid of the fence , but I will see what the shop brings
I believe Mia needs an ID card to convince the worker that she is working at the radio station,
no idea where to get it, have no option when talking to the guy in the radio station ......

[close]

EDIT: I am afraid I missed something essential, just don't know what .....
Thanks , great game , more people should play it !!

Thanks sthomannch once more !
It's amazing how many puzzles there are in this fine game!

Here's what I did or didn't

Spoiler

Have you talked to each worker about the strike?

Yes, I did !

Have you picked up the note about the strike from the fence close to the docks?

Yes , I did, the worker to the left is now gone, the one in the ceiling is still there

How could you persuade the worker down at the docks to remove the fences and cones?

No , don't know how .....
A drink - you have seen the blender in the office, now you need three ingredients but also a "container"

I noticed it, and I know I somehow have to use the eggplant and the ice cubes,but don't know why

I assume you have not yet visited the warehouse. Try it, you need a password.

I noticed the coffee in front of the door

Examine every spot in the coffee shop thoroughly - especially the espresso machine

I noticed that there is a note on the espresso machine, but I cannot read it

Also, no idea how to get into the secret room's window, despite my grappling hook :-(

Diego, This is a great game , the puzzles are really challenging, great work.
And there's lots of great humor, too.
I never imagined it to be this long and I am really stuck now.
I have:

Spoiler

Wallet, Cell Phones (2x),Ice Cubes, Ladder, Bucket with Cement, Eggplant, Bank Records, Bank Paper, Cross&Banner (Rope with Hook) and Wrench.
I know I have to get into the bank, I guess I have to enter from the subway station,
just don't know how.
Also,is there a way through the window of the secret room? Rope with hook doesn't work...

[close]

A slight nudge would be highly appreciated !

P.S.:
The game says "Bench" instead on "Bank", surely a translation error,
There also are still a few untranslated lines still in Spanish, but that doesn't spoil the great gameplay ...

Hey sthomannch,
you mean the

Spoiler

safe in the living room, the one that opens once you have the coordinates?
It contained the super secret notebook, my third evidence

[close]

Thanks sthomannch,  found that , nice puzzlee :-))

I thought the demo

Spoiler

would end after finding the 3 clues and now I am surprised at how far I can proceed in the game

[close]

Now it's getting difficult .....

sthomannch,
which tile do you mean ?
I am missing one clue, guess it has to do with it.
Very nice game with a lot of good humor !

EDIT: Nevermind, found it out,nice one :-)

I have

Spoiler

a pot and a can in my inventory, I looked at all items,
tried them all on the stove, tried to give all items to the barkeeper - Nada

[close]

Strange....

EDIT: I went back a few savegames and picked up pot and can in different order,
suddenly I had the dialogue option, surely a bug.
Thanks again, sthomannch !!

Sthomannch, Thanks for your reply.

Strangely, I don't get a dialogue option...

Spoiler

I have only two options:
Deadly triangle
David Rios

EDIT: When I load the savegame and talk to the barkeeper,
I still get the option to apply for a job, although I already an employee, odd ...

[close]

I must have overlooked something, but I am sure i didn't miss a hotspot...

I feel so stupid .....

Spoiler

I have the container from the garbage bin but cannot find out what's inside of it.
And I know I have to get the sugar brown, the easiest way would be to put it into the pot
and then use it on the stove, but I can't.
Used every item on each other, but to no avail.

Any hint would be highly appreciated

I will try to find a link. If I can't find one, I will try to post the essence of the theory here.
EDIT : Here's a link to the original work, it's written in Old German :-)
https://diglib.uibk.ac.at/ulbtirol/content/structure/3785404

Also, I copied an essay on his work and crunched it through the Google translator - The result is not too bad, I think :-)
Here's the link to the essay :
https://www.ingenieur.de/technik/fachbereiche/rekorde/die-utopie-solidarismus-rudolf-diesel/
Here it is (Sorry for the formatting) :
Rudolf Diesel's utopia of solidarism
The idea of the cooperative is at the center of Rudolf Diesel's utopia of solidarism.
In so-called Volkskassen, capital is collected for loans to joint operations.
These companies should cover all important needs.
In solidarism, Diesel's utopia says, the interests of the individual coincide with the interests of the general public.

100 years ago, in 1911, the diesel engine factory in Augsburg, which had been founded in 1898, came to an end.
The name Rudolf Diesel is inextricably linked with millions of engines and one fuel.
Little is known, however, that Diesel turned to not only technical, but also social issues. "Solidarism.
Natural economic salvation of man "was the title of a book published by" Rudolf Diesel, engineer in Munich "in 1903.
In it he presents the concept of an economy based on solidarity, in which the formerly dependent employees take the financing,
production and distribution of goods into their own hands.

"You are 50 million people in Germany who depend on salary, wages and salaries," writes Diesel, and further calculates:
If everyone were to pay an amount of just one penny per week into a "Volkskasse", this would result in a capital of half a million marks a week.
If a penny were put aside every day, "you have 182 million marks a year and in ten years already two billion marks available for your economic increase"
Rudolf Diesel's solidarism equates individual interests with collective interests
This savings procedure is the basis for the principle of solidarism, which Diesel understands as the "complete equation of the individual interest with the overall interest", "the free agreement of people to mutual justice through work, unity and love": "Solidarism is the sun, which shining evenly over all, through its mild warmth and its shining light, will awaken humanity from its hibernation to economic redemption. "

The linchpin of this sunrise is the founding of a "Volkskasse", in which the millions of pfennigs are brought together.
This Volkskasse with its accumulated capital serves as a lender and surety for joint operations of the treasury members, which Diesel describes as “beehives”:
“Just as for shoes, under the protection of the liability of the whole - the Volkskasse - you build other beehives for clothes and linen , Furniture, household appliances, etc. ”, which can ultimately satisfy the most important needs of the employees, the“ bees ”and others.
Rudolf Diesel's solidarism relies on cooperative self-help
It is not difficult to recognize the idea of ​​cooperative self-help here.
Diesel, however, expanded the idea of ​​cooperative financing and production by adding cooperative consumption:
“So your beehives exchange their goods; In this way, a swap warehouse is created in each of them, the goods of which are available to the bees and their family members ... at the cheapest prices imaginable, as there are no interim expenses ".

Diesel thus designs a closed cycle of financing, production and consumption of cooperative goods that neither compete with other producers nor appear in markets: “The true cooperative does not even enter general competition, neither for production nor for consumption , it only works for its own needs. ”So it is not about profit, but about the satisfaction of needs, a kind of industrial subsistence economy.
Diesel criticized the production cooperatives that existed at the time, such as the Albi glassworks, for being inconceivable as a general form of an economy.
This is for the simple reason "because, because of their mostly inadequate means, they cannot hold their own against the overpowering competition of the various forms of large-scale capitalist production or capitalist unification". They are cooperative internally, but capitalist externally.

Rudolf Diesel: Social institutions complement the cooperative principle
Rudolf Diesel supplements his model of cooperative work with social institutions. So every “beehive”, i.e. every cooperative enterprise, has to build a “spacious, bright, well ventilated and heated dining establishment” in which tasty dishes are offered at “bee prices”, and they also have “healthy, light, airy, spacious apartments” " to care. In addition, hospitals, schools, apprentice workshops and community houses should be built “with a restaurant and, if possible, with a garden”.
The idea of ​​the company as the center of life is imposed here, as is known from real socialist countries, but also from large companies in the early days of capitalism. But the crucial difference to both is the voluntariness. In contrast to socialism, solidarism can be achieved “within the framework of existing laws, in peaceful development with complete individual freedom”; in contrast to capitalism, it is not based on the game of market forces, but “on the natural game of solidarity forces”.

Rudolf Diesel is CORRECT !!! Very good, Sinitrena !!!!
While many people may have read about his mysterious demise, he is less known for one of his works
called "Solidarismus. Natürliche wirtschaftliche Erlösung des Menschen"
loosely translated into " Solidarism. The Rational Economic Redemption of Humankind",
a publication which, imho, would have deserved more attention.
Really worth reading it !
EDIT: Sinitrena, it's up to you !

None of the above...

Spoiler

He was last seen aboard a ship from EDIT: Germany Belgium to England.....

No, it is not him. Search under the hood/bonnet.....

None of the three, sorry.
The person we are looking for is known for a mysterious demise......
