Yes!!!! Everything Ponch does is always awesome. Loved the MAGS version of this one, as much as I love every single one of Ponch's Barn Runner games. Downloading now... super excited!
So glad to see you back, big guy!

Love the game. Solved everything so far in the Metal Maze, except for:
Pipe puzzle - I'm sure it's easy. I've spent so long spinning these around. Can't ever seem to connect the pipes to all the outlets at once... Aaargh. Because I can't do this puzzle, pretty sure I can't enter Caves, Crypt & Museum as there's no pressure.
Card game - 4 of them. Referred to info board to see which "deck" for each one. Tried a number of things... got nada.
Lock - inserted key. Says I need to do one more thing... err?

You're right... you're not far from the end.

I assume you put the raft in the water. But to move it, you need a particular object. Maybe you still need to explore more places...

Spoiler

Search inside the elevator

Been there but...

Spoiler

I've already been inside the elevator and got the shovel. Only thing I need is something to tie the raft together (it's not in the water yet), and the rope is too think. I was trying to work out how to shred it, or if there were wired I could get from somewhere...

Fantastic game and atmosphere! Really well done.

I am stuck right at the end though...

Spoiler

I put the paper under the door, used the screwdriver... also tried dynamite. Can't get into the metal door. Also I've built the raft out of empty soda bottles, sign and rope. But need one more item?

Well... what I needed wasn't in my inventory... and I it never crossed my mind to pick it up... I even thought that was the likely solution, as it's a common solution to keys in lock in many adventure games.. but was trying to towel, dishcloth, etc.... and that never crossed my mind once. I happened across it.. and boom. Now in the room, up in the attic, sorted out Bernard and sexy underwear. Just need black underwear and I'm done.

Almost there!

I realised that about the pen refill, I said I'd tried that in the lock in my original post. I've tried all inventory items in the lock im fairly sure. Well... I'll keep trying

Nice fun Maniac Mansion game... but I'm stuck in this one.

I have the toothbrush, cd, tv remote, wet dishcloth, ball pen refill, red fruit gruel, nail lacquer remover, red towel,  batteries, chaffed cushion, and small key.

I cannot open the locked door (tried pen refill - seem to need something else?)
I cannot open hatch
I cannot get bernard out of room (i'm guessing something to do with phone...?)
I cannot open the garage

I still need the following:
toothbrush (tried microwave to disinfect - said plastic would melt)
pillow (maybe in bernard's room?)
sexy underwear (no idea...)

Erm... help?

I've got all the ingredients except for likely the easiest....

Spoiler

Spoke to Ageris and got him to hum the tune. I swear I've tried it 30 times... but I can't replicate the tune perfectly. Going from left to right, I thought I had it nailed at 21221222321. But no... help?

lol... I completely missed in the notepad that those were decimal points... I swear I looked at the notepad thirty or so times, and was reading it as the 3 numbers without any decimals... It wasn't until I looked at the book in the office again, that it was a lot clearer. Oh well, very easy when you realise what the actual numbers are!

Ok, I'm stuck.

Spoiler

I'm trying to get the blood and the nutmeg, I have everything else, including the hot water in the cup. I can't work out what to mix in the chemical mixer. I read the book, but 5 isn't able to be selected on the dial.. so can't make blood solvent, to get the dried blood near the coffee machine. I've tried everything else, and Pete doesn't keep anything else. Up until the roof scene (via the autistic kid's bedroom) I was guessing the night guard had the nutmeg in his drawer... but guess there is none that you can get?

Help?

I'm a bit surprised on that myself Mandle. This game is utterly fantastic. A totally different look and feel to many AGS games, and yet fantastic in pretty much every way. Storyline, animations, puzzles, this one ticks all the boxes of AGS greatness(least for me).

Maybe it's a niche game that only the two of us and Shadow appreciate....
Seriously folks... check this game out. It's brilliant!!

Can't believe I missed that. Finished the game. Absolutely, wonderful stuff!

Completely loving this game... but I've hit a wall.

Spoiler

Trying to open the judge's box... but I can't work out the riddle about black witches bathing. I was contemplating all kinds of things about witches bathing at midnight... and hitting the white button 12 times, then hitting the black button, and all manner of other sequences. Finally stumped though in this game. First puzzle to really catch me out.

[close]

Help?

Thanks Mandle. I was sure I tried that at one point... obviously not!

All the way to playing the flute... can't work out the rhythm. Rhythm is cooking... so tried working out the 5 numbers... but can't work it out. Help?

Fantastic game, for starters. Wonderful atmosphere!

But I'm a little stuck...

Spoiler

I've made it back to the base, and have found Parker and am trying to reconstruct the filter. I found the blueprints, and have tried every combo to build the filter... but no dice. I've swapped the filter and membrane, and tried everything I can think. I've used the cap, membrane and filter multiple times... I assumed originally I was only supposed to use one of each.

Help?

Thanks sthomannch. I completely missed that... I kept assuming I had to find money somewhere for him or another item. I then instantly worked out how to get the pesto too, and then the salami, and finished the game.

Really fun game!

Cale Quest is a great game, and really enjoyable. But I'm stuck on a few parts. I've gotten the tomato, bread, mayo, bacon and lettuce (plus other gear like matches, tree sap, etc) and based on points am over halfway.

1. Bearing in mind what Lantz says about the comic store knowing about bad smells.. and I got the mayo from there (which smells).. I can't work out how to get Ken out of the bar...

2. I'm guessing I need the lemon to stop the yodeller from hitting that high (pink) note. But can't work out how to get it from the kid.. he likes money, but I can't find any. Help?

I'm on day 4, in the church basement. I've done the second room, got the rock on the shore and so forth. But can't get past the padlock on the contraption... can't pick it, don't have the key, and can't find a rock to bash it in... erm.. help?

I'd been trying, but until I read your hint, I didn't put two and two together. Duh!
Thanks man, great game, thoroughly enjoyed it right to the end.
