I enjoyed the game very much. The puzzles were completely logical and the game flowed well. Nice graphics and animation. There was a lot of attention to detail giving the game a polished feel.

It feels like the story is just starting and things are about to get interesting...I hope the sequel is as good!

Cheers

I'm having the same problem with the cobra.

After it goes back into the urn (after using the flute on myself) and the urn closes, I get a message that times out the cobra flattens you like pancakes.

Is this a bug?

SHADOW

Ok, I did

and stepped on the white square and it worked.

Thank you!

First 5 letters? do you mean

The P is on the far side and I get burned when I step to the other side.

Do you know the answer to the riddle in this room? I'm completely stuck after guessing for about 40 minutes

I keep saving as well. I had to restore probably about 30 times to get this far. If the rest of the game is like this rather than logical puzzles or puzzles you can figure out on your own, then I'll just uninstall the game now.

Thanks!

I am stuck at:

the room where the hint is "narcotic fish bait

So far I got (by trial and error):

but I'm completely stuck and don't know what the next square should be without getting killed. Any clues?

Is the rest of the game going to be like this?

SHADOW

I finished the game. This is one of the most awesome AGS games I've ever played!

I did need about 2 hints from this forum but both of them were pretty logical so I have no complaints.

There are some details of the story I'm still trying to figure out such as:

Spoiler

So after all is said and done, what caused the electricity to go out in the first place? The story was about him restoring it but there's no apparent explanation as to what went wrong. What happened to John's car? Where were all the people in 2008??

Other than that, the graphics were perfect. The length of the game was perfect (long enough to be fun and not too long as to lose being engaged). Puzzles were logical and playable. The game kept flowing because the difficulty was such that it was not frustrating so as to lose interest and not overly simple so as to not provide a challenge.

Thanks for a well-done game!

SHADOW

EDIT: Post has been set to the right thread now

Great, thanks!

Finished the game now!

Cheers

SHADOW

So where's the vac tube--I can't find it.? Also, did you find the hidden game (I did-read hint above).

Spoiler

use the blueprints on the insidious machine part

Great, thanks!

Finished the game now!

I still don't get how to find the pass code. I read the planner a dozen times. I must be  missing something. Any hints?

I can't rate this game highly enough.

- The puzzles were at a perfect difficulty level (for me, anyway) to make it fun without being too easy or too frustrating. I can't remember too many other games that don't require annoying pixel hunting or illogical puzzles. I certainly had more than my fair share of laughs.

The only things I needed to use this hints thread were:

the chervil and getting past the guy who takes the canapes

- The length of the game was perfect to be engaging.
- The graphics and music were very attractive.
- There was a perfect balance between dialogue/cutscenes and gameplay.
- The number of rooms was appropriate to have a full game rather than some games that have too many rooms and remembering the map is tedious and confusing and walking back and forth just consumes too much time

Kudos to the developers.

SHADOW

Thanks, David.

Maybe for another release, the author can consider giving the player the option to adjust the settings.

SHADOW

Is there any way to speed up the game? Most AGS games have somewhere that you can change the speed settings. There is a LOT of walking back and forth. When he walks to and from the apartment to the abbey, there are about four rooms each time and the slowness is getting frustrating.

Thanks

I'm stuck here:

Spoiler

I have the book on Satanism. I enlarged the symbol from the camera. I need to match it with the symbol in the book but I click A, it tells me to specify a source, i click th book and nothing happens.

Am I missing a step?

Edited: never mind, I figured it out.

SHADOW

Working great now. Thank you

SHADOW

Did no one else get the error message I did? It seems that people are able to play with no problem? Any suggestions? Would it help if I reinstall the game and start over?

SHADOW

@Schadow1000:

Which part are you playing? I recon it's 4 but it would be nice to know for sure.

Part 1. I haven't really gotten very far.

Spoiler

All I did was speak to the abbot who tells me to speak to Father Giuseppe. I left the building and went south and it crashes each time

[close]

When I go south of the room with the christening font, I see words that say "come with me" (or something like that) and the game crashes. I tried it several times with the same result. Is this a known problem? Is the game playable despite this?

If it helps, the message is "room 7 script 404"

SHADOW

Ok, I finished the game. Thanks for the help, everyone.

Graphics, puzzles and music were great. Very enjoyable atmosphere. Thanks for the game.
