Trying to make some preparations, to ensure I can travel for this.
Quoting the Finnish police website: "...to be able to apply for a passport, you must have a passport or other means of ID (driver's license not valid for this purpose)".

...

Looks like I'll be phoning the police station tomorrow...

[> Open the locker]

> Open the locker

You open the cabinet, revealing its true nature! It would seem to be a fairly well-stocked tool cabinet, full of different screwdrivers, wrenches, sockets and such.

Some questions (I hope they are not out of place): I do not know much about the "Slender Man" mythos (only that it isn't a real "myth", just an internet meme). Do I need to know about it to understand the game? Are there any games similar to this in the AGS game section that can be recommended?

Questions are always welcome in this thread!
Can't say if there are any similiar games, although I do recommend the Trilby games (5 days a stranger, 7 days a sceptic and so forth) as they have been very much an inspiration for me and are some of the best AGS games I've seen so far.

As for the other part of your question:

Spoiler

The Slenderman mythos, or at least a variation of it, has also been an inspiration for this game, but I try not to just pick up and re-use ideas made by someone else, so I've written my own little mythos for this game and it's variation of the Slenderman, and thus no knowledge of any other variation is needed.

Yeah, but who still remembers Candle Cove? That show was awesome, although I only saw maybe three episodes...

Dear Ghost:

I am, as many people have chosen to describe me, God almighty, Allah, the Great Cthulhu, Star Spawn, Azathoth, He Who Must Not Be Named, Nyarlathotep, Buddha, Baphomet and many more.
I am the darkness, the light and all in between. Bear witness to my SECOND COMING and quake in fear, for thine world is naught but a morsel upon my platter, a fragment of the intergalactic feast upon which I gorge myself!

. . .

Whoa, got carried away there. Carry on!

Wham are you the grim reaper thingy in Eternally Us?

Nope

Ball is in TTB's court for a video response.

Heeee! Now that would be something!

[> Go to the maintenance room, hum the Benny Hill Theme to yourself.]

> Go to the maintenance room, hum the Benny Hill Theme to yourself.

You decide to get back to doing something useful, such as saving yourself and this lovely lady from choking to death.
You also decide to lighten up the mood as you leave, so as to cheer Emma up a bit: "tah-de-de-dee-dee-de-pa-da-pa-de..."



You climb down to the second level again. You no longer hear the pitter-patter of water droplets hitting a pool, instead you now only hear the occasional burp as an air bubble bursts. It also seems the water level below has risen somewhat.



You make your way into the maintenance shaft, and swing the near-empty oxygen tank at the padlock holding the cabinet closed. The lock is smashed to scrap, but so is the bottle. You hear the last contents of the now-cracked spare bottle wheezing out, wasted.

ATTACK WHAM!

I do have to admit I didn't expect to see anything like this of the AGS forums, but apparently the trolls are multiplying, or at least creating more and more accounts.

Oh well, here is my on-the-fly response, inspired by Veryweirdguy and Ghost (cheers!):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MAXw0SdXPA&feature=youtu.be

Despite this being a sort-of weak and flailing personal attack agains me (I think), I would at least request the attacker show themselves. I work with my own name, my own accounts on both the forums and on youtube, and I hide nothing. You can't really say the same, now can you?

I will not discuss any subject with you, TTB, or any of your other personalities, unless you show yourself, as I have done. I have no idea what I am being accused of, or to which one of my (apparently ever-controversial. Also: hi Calin!) opinions this "attack" relates to, so this is about all I can do. TTB, or whoever you really are, come out and explaing yourself (with proper grammar, please, ask your mother or schoolteacher to help if you have to) and perhaps your point shall one day be made.

EDIT: When was the FIRST coming, by the way?

[> Change out Emma's oxygen with our back up tank]

> Change out Emma's oxygen with our back up tank

You hand over the unused oxygen tank to Emma. She accepts it with a smile.

Emma: "Thanks Andrei. I'll take a minute or two to gather my thoughts and will go back to trying to find something more useful."

Oh yes, mr Khris, it is ever so hard to comprehend what all these confusing letters and concepts you are presenting us mean. Please let us continue this thread until it is five or six pages long, so that perhaps we can all be enlightened!

Nice job slipping in some worldbuilding during the dialog!
It totally cheered me up to read the latest installment.

Thanks mate! There is more to this game than meets the eye, and there is a lot yet to see. Will be posting a proper update again tomorrow. So far, as far as I can tell, the next command will be "> Change out Emma's oxygen with our back up tank".

The way it is presented (too big to get a good look) and with the glaring grammatical error, it looks a tad shit.
Also, I don't think this is the critics lounge, in which things like this belong.

This thread is one of two things:

- A pointless begging for attention thread, in which case I find it unusually silly and confusing.

- A confused and difficult-to-comprehend, yet genuine cry for help, in which case I have little of value to offer, unfortunately.

[> SAY "While you're getting the oxygen back up, could you tell me the stuff that's not in the file? Am I a good person? Do I have a puppy? Do I vote Republican? Does anyone love me?"]

> SAY "While you're getting the oxygen back up, could you tell me the stuff that's not in the file? Am I a good person? Do I have a puppy? Do I vote Republican? Does anyone love me?"

You ask Emma some important existential questions about your life before you lost your memory.

Emma: "Hoo, boy. I'm not exactly a people person, but as far as I know you were a bit of a loner, made some friends in security, I think the guy was called Thatcher. No idea how he's doing right now, though. The facilities do allow pets, but I do know for sure that ours does not contain any, so no puppies for you, I'm afraid. Politics are a bit of an old-world idea, so no idea there, and on the love department... well... umm... I really don't know. Sorry..."

Emma looks a bit flustered for a bit, but quickly regains composure.

Emma: "On the oxygen-thing, I've been looking over some documents. I can't make much out of the technical stuff, but I did manage to confirm that there are three fresh-air supplies to the main facility. One is the green facility, which is blocked off by flooded tunnels and as a result we lost flow from there. Blue facility also has a dome, albeit a smaller one, but with the alarms going off I think we can safely say there's no flow from there either. The last backup system is a chemichal system situated down on level 4, but it has to be engaged manually. That means there are a few possibilities. Either no-one has engaged it, and everyone in the lower levels is choking to death just like we will be in a while..."

Emma frowns and rubs her eyes, glancing at her oxygen supply.

Emma: "Not much left for me, by the way. Maybe an hour with luck. The other option is that someone HAS engaged the atmosphere generators, but with the flooding on the lower levels, the other survivors have shut off the upper levels, cutting off our air as well. That's about it, as far as I can tell..."

Emma looks exhausted, possibly because of the poorer and poorer quality of air she is breathing.

[> Ask Emma to bring up all the information she has on Andrei Winogradski]

> Ask Emma to bring up all the information she has on Andrei Winogradski

You ask Emma for the file for a "Andrei Winogradski". She Gives you an odd look.

Emma: "Why would you want to see your own file...?"

She pauses for a moment, blushes and begins to tap away at the keyboard again.



Emma: "Sorry, I just... keep forgetting..."

You: "It's okay, just give me the basics"

Emma: "Andrei Winogradski, unmarried, age 29, technical assistant working under Félix Thiers on level 4 of the main facility. You lived in a private apartment, room 318 on level 3 of the main facility. You were relocated to this facility from an evactuation camp in the temporary seaport of Chalna, chosen due to psychological analysis, military experience and extensive technical training in pre-floods Moscow. That's the jist of it."

I can't be sure what dates I can travel on, due to work related issues, but I am putting in my papers to get a passport by end of next week!
Exciting times!

Hurrah! Downloadering!

Will be on a trip for a few days (sweet summer vacation) so no updates until probably tuesday.
Feel free to use this time to come up with theories, ideas and plans for future actions.

[> ASK EMMA IF SHE KNOWS C. NEWELL'S LOGIN, USE THAT AND "MARBLEHORNETS" AS THE PASSWORD]

> ASK EMMA IF SHE KNOWS C. NEWELL'S LOGIN, USE THAT AND "MARBLEHORNETS" AS THE PASSWORD

You ask Emma what the login information of "C. Newell" might be. She swiftly turns around and begins to tap away at the computer.

Emma: "Let's see... Christina Newell, wife of Gregory Newell, works in the green facility as head of medical. Login: 'christnew', no clue as to the pasword, I'm afraid. You got an idea?"



You: "I think so, let's see..."



You enter the username "christnew" and the password "marblehornets".



You: "Dammit! So much for that idea, then..."

[> Ask Emma where the room with the body is.]

> Ask Emma where the room with the body is.

You ask Emma to identify the room the dead body can be seen in. She turns to face you, checks the ID number visible on the monitor in question and references it to the LED panel on the wall.

Emma: "That room is a security room down on level 5, near where the access shaft down to level 6 is. The image looks a bit blurry, I wonder if that's smoke on the screen?"
