I wasn't able to reproduce this with the crotch, only with the spear. I recon you used a crotch for the climbing device as well?

If your CC2.exe's date is 3/2/2010, this should be fixed.
If it's 2/24/2010, I can send you a savegame of that point with at least a crotch to make.

I've uploaded a copy of Into the light to my site for the time being..

I don't mind the questions at all.. the walkthrough is such a spoiler...

If you wish, the walkthrough is there since this morning...

Problem solved. The inventory window can scroll up.. there's the teddy.

Sorry... did I say monkey?  :o I meant the dog...     

Spoiler

You should have the bones since you're out of jail....

[close]

Did you have it in your inventory (=picked up earlier) or was it still on the bed?

You need to wake up the driver. Therefore you need..

Spoiler

..the monkey, the bones.. (you have those.. right?) and the waste bin from the station.

[close]

The to wake him up:

Spoiler

Use the monkey on the driver, give the bones to the monkey and give the waste bin to the monkey. The noise will wake the bus driver.

What's the application you're trying to run in DosBox?

Working on an English walkthrough now.

As far as you got:

Outside jail, your card got stolen. Did you:

Spoiler

Hit the button next to the door of jail? And get back into jail and talk to the prisoner?

[close]

If you did that and you're outside again,

Spoiler

Walk to the right and pick up the rope and the banana peel.

[close]

Then

Spoiler

Use the sewer lid and the rat will help you out.

[close]

Then you must

Spoiler

help out the rat by using the rope on the sewer.

[close]

Does this help you a bit further?

I'm playing this one now. I must say, graphics are ok, sounds ... ok but execution isn't my style. I'm missing a lot of interaction with objects or people. I can't skip dialogs? It's quite annoying. When text goes too fast, it's not good but I'd like to read it in my own pace and now I have to wait quite a lot.

A lot of actions are done for me and the actions I want to take, are not what I'm used to. I talk to people by walking up to them? And the story itself...  it doesn't really hold my attention from the start..  maybe when I progress a bit more.

The interface is alright, clear and easy to use although I missed the 'talk' option. Not everything is solved with violence?
All in all a bit chaotic but... I think that was intended ;-)
A good one for a first game, looking forward to your progress in the next one.

[edit]
Any reason why the compass rose on the main view is upside down in the first few screens? Other screens have it rotated correctly. 

In my defense however, I did search for the word "spear" before posting my message, but you mispelled it.

Oops... native Dutch shining through here...    

Funny thing, I didn't come across the second dead end though.. I was able to cut two crotches...
And I found out that for the first use of the crotch you can also use the branch without carving it. But that doesn't help you now. I can send you a save game around that point if you like..

@Helme:

It looks like the objects you carve  aren't put back to the options list (conversation) after you've used up the objects.. ?

[edit] Apparently you did ..  
[edit 2] Are you sure it's only turning on and off? Because you don't use up the other things you carve... so they don't have to disappear and reappear in the list...

Use the sponge (not the water) on the right location..

Spoiler

On the tomato and on the dung.

During the final puzzle I lost my mouse cursor, I was able to play it without it, but maybe something to look in to.

Interesting, I'll try to reproduce that, thanks. Did anyone else exprience that?

Yep, I had it once out of the three times I played. But I couldn't reproduce it. Actually I thought it was my system (does funny things now and then).

How about Virtual Apple where you can play (almost all) Apple II (e) games online. Or Virtual Atari if you like.

Alright, I've reproduced:

- cut a spear
- cut a rod
- show amber to fish (untied)
- throw spear

You're not able to cut another spear.

I have the feeling there's something not completely right with the scoring? Using the monster card and the bearded man card didn't give me any points although they were removed from the bar and hadn't been used before. Are there other moments in the game they should be used? Why is a card removed without earning points?

Before entering the final ceremony I have 530 points. At the ceremony I use my last card and at the credit screen I see I've earned 674 points. ??

You can see my actions here. If there's any error or wrong sequence, please let me know.

You're right. That's what I said also (but hidden...) :-(
I'm afraid you have to restore a previous saved game or start again.

I've got an idea: ;-)

Spoiler

Show the barb wire to Farmer Jake... he knows how to fix a fence..

Then maybe you should have read it, left it and that's it. First time reading I didn't even think any of it because a lot of nonsense was uttered by a lot. But because the discussion came up I read it again and still couldn't find any 'hatred' or misconduct in it.

Maybe you should just push the 'read and ignore' button a bit more, instead of taking offense to everything. I know it's not nice of people to make fun of one another but hey... cheer up. It's not the end of the world. So why not just forgive & forget ignore and publish CQ4!

@Harg:

I was always told: no matter how they talk about it, as long as they talk about it. Your game still gets lots of attention so see the positive side! It's a pity a great event like this has to end in a discussion like this.
