I had solved the dream puzzle instantly. I still do not see what's so difficult about it. I consider that the dream puzzle is pretty easy compared to what you gonna see later in this game.

Okay... stuck again... I think.  I am in the Lucid dream.. got the old love letter... and I apparently am in the "middle of something or other" and can't leave the dream.  What am I missing here?  I tried the sequence in reverse and didn't get anything...  

lyra, do not use use the "interact" button on everything. Explore all the options you have, the "talk", "take" and later the "interact". The dream is one of the easiest puzzles in the game. Just read the story in each portrait. You are in the most interesting night I believe. Prepare for many plot twists! 8)

Mulkin is a good friend. Did you talk to him this night? Also, are you looking for the Gaelish Balsaad too?

Hi!

I just completed the lucid dream and Christian told me to find the video tape but I have no idea what to do next! I've been to every location on the map and can't figure out what to do. Can someone please help? Thanks!

Did you smoke a cigarette to get a hint?.

Hmm.  I'm not getting the arrow, so I must have missed a step somewhere.  Perhaps I've not actually finished correcting the map.  . . I'll go back to Romero's house and see what else I can find . . .

I see. Well, the "map of Sernov" in Romero's secret room is a puzzle itself. You need to solve and take it with you. Make sure you get all the other items from his room, as well. If I remember correctly, you take Romero's diary, the archeology book (Runes) and the "corrected map of Sernov" from his room.

Actually, I feel that I'm stuck slightly before that.

Spoiler

When I interact with the map, Donna says, "I don't need to use it now.  I know my way."   I'm not figuring out how to get INTO the woods, I think.

Spoiler

When you enter the woods, you see Donna and her car right? If you have the corrected map from Romero's room, the exploration event has just taken place. To the left of your car, the cursor becomes a green direction arrow. Click and Donna will move to the next screen. Then, "interact" the map.

I am on Night Eight, and I feel like I'm missing something obvious:

Spoiler

Donna has gotten the map of Sernov, marked down the areas listed in the book, and Donna has put a red "X" on the map, and taken the map.

Now what?

I've driven to the overlook of the woods, and it feels like I ought to be able to use that map somehow to walk into the woods and find a final confrontation of some sort, but I can't figure out HOW.  I feel like I've either missed a step somewhere, or I'm missing a hotspot.

Can anyone help me figure out what I've missed?

Spoiler

If the map is in your inventory, click "Interact" that map. Donna will look to the correct direction. Follow that path. Repeat the same process, untill you find the lake.

Did anyone make a walkthrough !

I am not sure. However, you will find solutions or hints for almost everything (puzzles, events, etc) here.

Thanks, but I have already made it, but now I am stuck again in hotel - night five. How to get out? These is just some bucket, which I am unable to use on anything.

Spoiler

Take the bucket with you.
When you come out from your room, do you notice that the SWAT team is heading for your room number "5"?
Smoking will give you a hint. There are four rooms. From left to right, room "5", "7", "9" and "11". So, your room is the first one to visit...How can you prevent them from entering the correct room? It is easy to figure this out. Take a break from the game and I am sure you will get the idea. The bucket will come handy in the following scene.

Hello. Awesome game!! Hard though. I am stuck in night 4, I got in antique shop, but dont know what number is the right shelf.

Spoiler

Smoke a cigarette to get a hint. You can always try smoking to get a hint for any puzzle or if you feel clueless about what to do next. Inside the antique shop, you need to get rid off the alarm from above first...Then explore all the room till you find a book.

SPOILERS: I think this is my last day. I completely useless with the map of the great woods. I found the notebook and smoke two more cigarettes, but I couldn't mark the right villages.  I just dont understand in which hints I should be focus (contours? cliffs? villages' names? white polygenes? numbers?) what "burial grounds" means?

It's really shame no one else asks about this part I really feel stupid  

Great game!  

Spoiler

Look at the Rune stone "Othala" in the archeology book (you can take the book with you). Notice the shape of the stone...When you finish the puzzle, take the "corrected"map with you. It will serve you as a compass in the woods...

Anyone knows the password that works on Ernest Rightwell's laptop in CS HQ? I have finished the game, though.

Silly question here....but when I downloaded the game, my computer had a pop up that said this download could be very harmful to my computer, it was written in red and caused me to cancel the download...
I have Kaspersky anti virus on my computer, I was wondering if anyone else has seen this. I'm sure it's not a problem, but I have never seen this before with any other game I have downloaded.

That's weird. I have Kaspersky Internet Security.It has never showed up any pop-up window to alert me for a possible virus/trojan while downloading or playing the game. Did you download it from the official site?

Btw, I got the game from the first download link (not the Mirror one)

Hello, AGS fans and creators!
The story was so mind-blowing. I've never seen this kind of animation before. They look like photo-animated characters. Compared to Downfall from harvester games, the animation is much smoother and better looking.
I kinda predicted the real ending coming in the last night, though. Makes perfect sense. Very well made game!

(1)When the vagabond drops the first note into the trashcan, it's not readily apparent that he does anything except walk around and then leave. Unless you're really paying close attention there's not enough to prompt you to search the bin. If you've missed this step, smoking a cigarette doesn't point you in the right direction, so you're left wandering around wondering what else you're supposed to do.

Spoiler

He throws the note into the trashcan. Isn't it obvious you can "interact" the trashcan after that everytime?

Spoiler

(2) If you save after setting off the alarm in the antique shop your game crashes upon re-loading. Lost several hours of progress this way.

[close]

Spoiler

Yes. Save before you enter the antique shop. Exit the game to windows, launch Donna.exe and restore the saved game.

(3) When you attempt to show the poem to the man in the Thai restaurant it does not work at first. I tried several times and he just threatened me with a shotgun. On my fourth or fifth attempt he finally took it and I'm not sure what was different but it took about an hour of trying different things before he finally accepted the poem.

Spoiler

First, "Interact" the door. The man behind the door will threaten you with a shotgun. Do not insert the poem ,yet. "Talk" to that door. A dialogue will take place.
