Hello,

is someone still playing this game?

I had fun with it but now I need help how to do the next step.

I gave the leaves to adam and eve. Now I'm searching the alcohol (for to give knowledge to them), but the beer isn't right.

Thank you

Hi everybody,

I think, we're all stuck at the same point and have to wait for Romeo to tell us if and how to go on.

I also couldn't awaken the clerk  (to get the key „officially“) and don't know, wether we can go on further without doing it the right way.

The only thing I found out during the meantime is how to manipulate the members-card. So I became an official member. But every time I put it back into inventory, it changes to originally. So I couldn't show it to anybody.

First: Thank you for answering (I really feel lost)!

Until now I did two time-travels

went to 1968 and 1974 to put letters in mailbox, getting new messages in the notebook afterwards but I'm still missing the travel to 1985

Can you help me?

Aussiebloke81:
Maybe you didn't go to the airport: the fastest way to reach Blackwell island is a plane. Do you remember the flight school name?

Regards,

I am unable to go to the airport because it simply doesn't show up on the train map nor the town map even after looking at the flight school advertisement at the police train station.

I've now just gotten the key from the booking clerk lodge, initially it said I had to get inside the booking clerk lodge but when I moved Tom further to the front left edge of the pond Tom walks down into the subway as mentioned and the key is in possession. Seeing it's a bug I guess getting the key was suppose to be at a later stage in the game???

Have you called for the free flying-lesson? Otherwise Tom don't know the adress (and it can't show up on the map)

Hi everybody and thanks for the compliments about the game,

Tabata:
I still can't understand how you picked up the restaurant key from the lodge!! :o I tested the game 10 times and also all the other players can't pick it up...please tell me, cause it seems to be a bug but a strange one...
About the crow I can help you with a hint: try to think that you can't play the guitar in the street...but some music could help the crow to get closer. The crow can't fly and the fisherman lost a fly fish. Only after entering the warehouse you'll find a way to distract the guard.

...
Regards,

Uuups ~ so I'll try to explain my "difficoult" way of catching the key: If I remember it right, it was about the second time I came to the pond and did a little pixle-hunting. So I saw the key when Tom stands near the pond. Then I simply used the "hand-Icon" on the key. Tom goes in the direction of subway-station (It looks, like he goes behind the hut of the clerk to steal the key, while standing on the stairs) and the scene changes to subway-station. First I thought, I didn't hit the target and went back. But then I saw, that the key is missing now and - ta,ta,taa: It was in inventory.  
I'm not really sure, but maybe this all happens after my "cursor-changing" fom the "look at"-command (because of the bug with the magnifying-glass I told about). Maybe it's better to start this chapter all over again?

Hopefully it helps you to go on with the research.

Thank you very much for your helping ...
and SORRY to all of the others, I was irritating with my wrong hint. ::)

EDIT:
I just dit it again (hi, hi) + would it help you to get the save-game (immediately before taking the key)?

I'm not one step further, than before  :'(. I still can't distract the security-guard.

Nobody there to help us all with this guard?

Hi,

I got:
Spoiler
wallet, guitar, gauzes, scissors, pick lock, subw. ticket, coins, car keys, empty bottle, pole straps, crows nest, members pass, mathildas photo, tin cup/cleaning cloth, remote control/batteries, envelope, cheque, petrol hose, white paint, lobster cage, fish net, key (restaurant), key (petrol oil), magnifying-glass, beam, town map, hand cart
[close]

I have some ideas about
Spoiler
cheque ~ Mr. Irving; petrol hose ~ nozzle; fish net ~ crow; key (petrol oil) ~ padlock
[close]
but no action is possible right now, because I have to do something before this or I'm missing something.
I did a lot of other actions, like to switch on and off the spotlight, but I think that's a red herring (if not only items, but also actions are allowed to be called this).

What's driving me crazy is: I can't get rid of the security-guard and need to know the model of the airplane which I want the

veteran to fly
[close]
„grrrrr“

Romeo:
Your game is awesome.
I can live/play with the two magnifyin-glasses. But maybe we have to talk again later about the point of making a fool of ourself while trying crow catching  ;)

I spent hours by trying to distract the security guard from pier oil, but now I run out of ideas, even if I have a lot of (strange) items in inventory with lot's of choices. A little hint avaliable?

Meanwhile I'll do a little more pixel-hunting, maybe I'm lucky by chance  ;)

btw - Since I used the magnifying-glass the first time, the „look at“-icon from the cursor changed into this picture!?
Gameplay still seems to work, but it's a bit confusing, having the picture of this magnifying-glass two times (1. as inventory-item and 2. for the command to look).

Please, help me, I can't managed to get the bum up to the hotel, his only sleeping ...and I can´t wake him.
It is necessary to catch the crow? How do you do that?

Thanks you



Hi Eli,
to wake the bum:
Spoiler
give him a cup of coffee

... and remind the hint from keekee71 about the cushion.

I didn't need to catch the crow previously.

I had the same idea about the vacancy-sign, but still working on it.

I really enjoy it to wander through town, finding clues and love the attention which have been given to details! Even if I still don't know, where to use the steam (and some other items :-\).

I'm looking forward to the weekend so I can occupy myself a little longer with Tom

bye


Got it! Yeah!
We had the right idea with the motel sign, but it's no electrical problem.
You can also use
Spoiler
the white paint

to get the wanted effect.
But Tom will only stop his truck at the place
Spoiler
where the paint is left from the street-workers, if he has a handicaped-licence for parking.

To get something like this: Use the steam (finally) on the

handicaped-sticker.

I hope, I haven't told to much and that hiding the most serious parts of the hints won't let you read it accidentally.

have fun

Hello to all of you,

thank you Romeo for telling about the bug. I was also caught on stage (for several times).

After two successful "sabotages" Jack isn't completly convinced to join Toms band. So currently I'm still working on that.

It's really a tricky game and just great!

Hi keekee71,

I'm a little irritated because if you already have the need to search for medicine, then you must have talked to Mr. Black in his office earlier!?
About the old man and getting the medicine I'm sorry to dissapoint you, but: I don't know (yet).

Hi,

I walked a lot of miles and dit some time-traveling but now I have a problem with understanding the turbine at the lighthouse, ...
Spoiler
because the handle for the brakes is "off" but it's not rotating!? So there is no power at the doorlock and I can't put the capacitor in. The lock has set automaticaly in right order when I put it in at the other turbine (or will I get an other code with a note later?) - but anyway the brakes aren't on. So I'm stuck here and can't solve a problem I don't understand. :'(

The turbine at the silo is rotating with no problem and the control panel inside says, that only the batteries must go online for to get the keypad working. Maybe because until now I couldn't manage to crack the code for the door in the cellar?

I think I missed something important on my way and mayby there is someone to give me a hint in the right direction? That whould be very kind. Meanwhile I will go on searching ...

The entrance is on the 1st floor, so maybe you have to do the pixelhunting a bit higher.
