Which game is this?

[EXTENSION CORD]

Did return things the way you found them?

Spoiler

Take the EXTENSION CORD and climb through the opening in the ceiling on the left. Use the extension cord in the socket there and walk to the right. Use the extension cord in that socket as well so it’s back the way you found it.

Did you do that?

Which GAB card are you using?

Walkthrough is almost done. Due to the last few days with personal obligations I didn't have too much time. Expect one later tonight/tomorrow morning.

[edit]

Just curious (I've worked my way around it already):

Spoiler

I already have made the mixture (twice), and filled the glass with fruit twice. Then I drank the mixture at the dark manor and lost a glass in the process. Now I have only one glass and filled it with water from the temple. I need either another empty one or empty the one I have to use on the liquidiser.

How can that be done?

Bug found in  Santa's Stolen Sleigh:

After completing the game, returning to the main menu and starting a new game I get:

In "room2.asc", line 8
Error: StartCutscene: already in a cutscene.

Indeed I didn't. So much for a non-linear game. What on earth has

feeling sick?

[close]

I'm a bit (understatement here) disappointed by the linearity of this game. You must do one thing first before another can be done that has nothing to do with each other. Now if I stumbled upon a smell or something or I opened the fridge and got sick, ok. But out of the blue, after

[close]

I really don't get it. My problem, I know, but sorry.

[update]

Another bug?

Spoiler

After returning santa and lighting the candle, I can take another pencilcase from the backpack

[close]

[another update]

I really, really don't get it.

Spoiler

Not knowing what to do after returning the figurine and lighting the candle I reloaded a previous game. Seeing if I could reproduce the mentioned bug above. Now I returned the figurine again, lit the candle, step back into the living room is the tree full of lights... Where the &#&# did that come from?

[close]

Ok so the game continues here.... But why didn't I see that trapdoor before? It's there all of a sudden..... Or is it really me?

Whatever I do in the bathroom after I've pulled the blanket, I'm feeling perfectly fine.....   

(Hmmm... reading this whithout having a clue what's going on must be quite interesting...    )

Same here.

Spoiler

I can pull the blanket but can't seem to do anything else. I at first see a message about calling someone to fix the central heating, then only something about Christmas linen. I never saw something about a cat.... :o That's when you pick up the figurine...

[close]

What versions are we using here? Are these the same?

I now understand that I need to do

Spoiler

something with the toilet but how? I think that when I knock over the polish I have the shard and can use the brush to paint. But I can't get that far. How to use the toilet?    Please I HAVE TO GO!!! (Does anyone have Pampers?  )

[close]

Yeah, I'll take it there. I must say it's not completely as I said but whatever he tells us also doesn't work. I'll continue there.

If there's nothing in or under the bed then...

Spoiler

... why's Frodo suggesting to pull the sheets to find the shard there?

[close]

Appearantly no one wants to believe me (or us) but there is nothing to do. All the hints are great and I'm sure it's me that does something wrong but for the third time:

Spoiler

There is nothing in the bed, nothing under the fridge and nothing in the toilet. I can select them all, and all I see is: this is your fridge, this is your toilet and he's lying under his christmas blanket. There really is nothing to do!! I just downloaded version 1.013 and it has the same problems.

[close]

And it's getting worse:

Spoiler

I can't use the nailpolish anymore. I now have the note from under the fridge.

[close]

Found a bug:

Spoiler

While using the shaving brush (without the polish)  on the glued santa I see: You try to memorize the code...

[close]

I'm sure I'm a complete idiot but:

Spoiler

-I don't see glass in the bed after pulling the blanket.
-I don't see anything under the fridge after moving the picture in the kitchen
-I can't throw up in the toilet.

[close]

Since there's no indication whatsoever what's selected (only the cursor turns red) I have the feeling it's a pixelhunt in every room. Do I use the wrong mouse-buttons? This isn't exactly the first game I've played but I've never felt so frustrated with any.

Allright, we can help each other here...

Spoiler

The glue is in the bag in the corner next to the tree. There's a pencilcase in it but looking at it reveals the glue.

[close]

Now, I've found the safe already but that doesn't change anything about the hair clip or anything underneath the fridge at all....

Strange way of discovering things you don't know are there, can't see at all and can't even take....   :o Hmmm. Is it me or does this suck....?  :  I like adventuring but please don't overdo it...

Spoiler

I managed to get the hair clip off the wife...but I have no idea what to do from there.  And I noticed the trapdoor in the ceiling, but it has no reaction if I click on it.

[close]

Then  you're still playing with the 'old' version. I was able to do that too in the old version. The new one doesn't show the trapdoor anymore.

I don't know how to continue.

Spoiler

I took the crushed santa, glued it, painted it.... and now?

I need a beard, know where to get it but how? I once took the hair clip from my wife, downloaded the new version and can't take it anymore. Other than that, I can look at several things but can't pick it up anymore in the new version.

[close]

Leon, I'd appreciate it you used spoiler tags in your posts, and I'm thinking mostly of the first one.

Sorry about that....

Unless Hillbilly just updated it now, the link I provided is a newer version that both the previous links Hillbilly provided.

But I still can't see any difference in versions. I'm still unable to continue....? Your link and Hillbilly's gave me the same timestamp (12:31) and they are both different from the first version I downloaded.

What's different with the version from the link at the top? It's both the new version?

I like this game but I have the feeling something is missing or I am not doing it properly. In the previous version (they have both v1.0 in the upper right corner)

Spoiler

I was able to take the hair clip and saw a hook in the ceiling. In the new version I can't take the clip anymore and the hook is gone. Other than that I can't do much.

I have reconstructed Santa and need a beard. I know where to get it but am not able to.

Playing on and on... just don't want to stop. Want to see everything, talk to everyone. Very entertaining game. Great graphics. I like the parallax effect when moving. Well done!

Some notable quotes from the game while...

...looking at the books in the library: "ere are lots of information here about our culture."
...looking at the creature in the lab: "This thing definitly doesn't from our waters."
...using the cabinets from the scientists: "I should ask someone, if I want for something special..."
...talking to the slavetrader about 'slave': "Can you tell me something about yourselv, slave trader?"

Reading more about it I see there might be more versions (a lite one?)
Where did you download this version? I get the same message after I have both items. Can't find the second panel though.
