That's a touching story,

The best cat I ever had sought me out and found me. 10 years later when we had moved cities and I took her to the vet for a check-up, the vet asked how I came to have her. I told the story, and the vet remarked "They are the best cats!". Note that the kitten must have been introduced to humans in the first 8 weeks of its life, otherwise it would be permanently and irrevocably feral. A Queen (momma cat) will have her litter in a private nest and when their eyes are open, she will bring them out to introduce them to the rest of her family - yes, that's right, when you have a dog it becomes a slobbering noisy intruding part of your family, but when a cat spends time with you, you become part of its family. They are amazing animals and poorly treated by most humans, but absolutely intriguing to observe. If you're in a position to have a full time pet, go for it, reasearch the whole cat ownership thing and enjoy unconditional company and love. If not, I hope somebody else does. I hope it works out!

Oh what a difference a night's sleep makes. It was difficult to see, but I finally found

the white petal, which I gave to Queenie who made a petal heart which I gave to the bride.

Onwards! To think I nearly gave up on this excellent game...

Thanks PuNKKoMmANDO77 (I hope I got the capitals in the right places). I should have seen the theme similarity... I am still lost with:

Spoiler

I cannot give the ring to the Reverend. The Prince gave me the precious memories, I was thinking that when I give the ring the wedding will start. I must have missed something.

I'll keep looking.

Thanks for the help, I'm really enjoying this game, it's a little bizarre and psychedelic but great fun. However I'm stuck again in Wurm Mansion.

In inventory I have:

Spoiler

feather, cushion, magic lips, Big worn-out bell, stardust, trident, black petal and wedding ring,

[close]

I have done 3 of the things needed to start the wedding but I can't find

Spoiler

anything to make a drink for the prince. Sharaf said he needed foam (which I think I can get from Drooling Bonzo) and a container and stopper to make an aperitif, but I haven't seen any of that. I've found the metal tree but I think I need the katanas to cut it down and the pinappurai won't give them. I think also that I get the container from the altar, but need to get rid of Rev. Ray first

Any hints please?

Hi!

Great game, but I'm stuck totally.

In inventory I have

Spoiler

Bistian head, Love sweater, Desert capital, Pumpkin megaphone, Broom, Dancer's costume, Moon moon outfit, Medusa's invitation, Balloons,and Choko choko pralines.

I have so far

Spoiler

disrupted the magic show and wounded Rummy.

I think I have to :

Spoiler

Get Rummy out of the store, so I can use him on the bird in the office, I probably need to attack the supporting colums to bring down the crystal on the robot watching the store. I need to make a distraction in the police station, but I have no idea how.

Any ideas?

Thanks to Baron for a great comp, and wonderful to see the engagement of the community!

The competion has been tough, and I have read and re-read all posts - but my voting goes as follows:

Best character : Captain D - I look forward to the sequel:-)

Best overall: MandleI -the ball; I love that story as I have said before.

Best word choice: KyriakosCH - it really made me think. Well done all, and hoping for similar or greater participation in the next one!

I have sent you a PM, I'm happy to help this fabulous game become more comprehensible, and I have played it multiple times.

[Climate change â€" the real cause.]

Great story Frodo! Seeing as how Mandle has had "two bites of the cherry" as we say here, here's something to think about:

Climate change â€" the real cause.

In 1930 the population of the Earth reached 1 billion people after 250,000 generations. In 1969 men walked on the moon, and the population was 3 billion, after 39 years which included a war which killed 50 million. Today it is closing on 8 billion. Can any of you see where this is going? Everyone of them wants a western middle-class lifestyle with cars and appliances.

Overstock a paddock, and all feed is depleted; the whole herd dies. Already people are making protein from insects, and harvesting Antarctic krill for human consumption; save the whales?

People with large families are actually proud of their acheivement, and smile like the newly lobotomized. Mathematics says carrying capacity will be reached by 2150, and you cannot run from mathematics.

But we'll be dead by then, so it's not our problem, is it?

Sorry Baron, but when I wrote it the Microsoft Word "Tools Menu, word count" option came out at 144. Bloody Microsoft's fault I say! Thanks for letting it stand - and no, don't count "now".

Here is my effort, against great competition I must say. The effort starts... wait for it... wait for it... Now!

Is the glass half full, or half empty?

…is a question that is designed to determine whether you are an optimistic or pessimistic. The optimist says “Half full”, while vice-versa. I say it depends upon who you are.
A theoretical physicist, such as Schroedinger (a cat-lover) would say the glass simultaneously exists in both states.
A God-Botherer would say that the glass has been created to hold fluid, so it fulfills its purpose while containing anything â€" and will therefore earn its place in “glass heaven”.
An existentialist will say that the glass spends most of its time empty, so its current state is an absurdity.

It's not about the glass. How much is left in the bottle? Do we have any more bottles, or is anyone right to drive to get more?
If the glass is all I have â€" it must be bed time!

Oh Mandle, I loved that story - you have "set the bar" very high, rather high indeed. Thanks Baron for the clarification, 143 spaces you will get. Methinks this will be a great competition! (I saved a few words there!)

If I write a year, e.g. 2018, is that considered one word "2018", two words "Twenty-Eighteen", or many words "In the year of our Lord, Two thousand and Eighteen"? Some people may be looking to economize on words, but some may be needing to use them up. Shakespeare wrote some beautiful sonnets (14 lines), and also wrote plays of many acts. I look forward to the challenge, but this has to be clarified please.

You actually have all you need.

Hint:

Spoiler

You need to combine 2 inventory items.

Stronger hint:

Spoiler

Look for the item that, when used with something else, results in "it doesn't fit" - that's one of the items

[close]

Complete spoiler:

Spoiler

Use the dictaphone on the glass jar

[close]

It then becomes magical, if not slightly silly.

Thanks, I actally worked it out after a sleep. Now I'm stuck right at the very end - I'm missing an item. I have:

Spoiler

Crystal Ball, feather, Tarot cards and book all placed inside the circle. Nothing else I have is magical. I used the truth dust twice on Beata and the sorcerer and it's gone.

[close]

What have I missed?

Also the game crashed a lot during the

Spoiler

seance.

[close]

Did anyone else experience this? I played through again from a previous save and got trapped at home, could not leave. It kept saying it was the "decisive moment". I think the game thought I was in another place.

EDIT: Disregard - I solved it and finished the game. Thanks to the developers and the Polish government for a good game!

I'm stuck trying to

Sorry for being cryptic,

The implement you need is at the crime scene! There are no hotspots, so you just need to click on things - if you can dig that. You will find something that can help you out of the hole you are in.

Complete Spoiler follows:

At the middle to top of the screen is an object in the sand. It is a shovel. Click on it and use it on the middle of the light patch on the left of screen

Hi Shadow1000,

You haven't found the "Spear & Jackson" #3! (sorry, that's an allusion to "Ripping Yarns") I actually own a Spear & Jackson, and it's very handy for digging up evidence, particularly in a

Spoiler

discoloured spot in the middle of a light spot.

[close]

The "Ripping Yarns" episode was "The Ballad of Eric Olthwaite"..."It were always raining in Denley Moor...

In the spacecraft there are hotspots you can examine. One of them opens the hood. In a car, is the hood inside or outside?

Hi Peter,

There are 5 hotspots in the hangar, the one you need is not near any tents or equipment.

I am not a serial pest, but I have another problem with the game I have just finished and played again twice to be sure. My copy of AGS 3.4.0 has a licence agreement which requires accreditation to Chris Jones as AGS author. When I release my game I will comply with this. This particular game doesn't have that, not in the opening nor closing credits.

The opening credits are author x 6, then Kevin MacLeod, then author x 2; the closing credits are author x 6, Kevin MacLeod x 5 and then author x 4. You ladies and gentlemen have been in this a lot longer than I, but something just doesn't gel with this game, particularly when it was released initially as a commercial game, and it cannot be found in the AGS database.

I thought twice about doing this, but the game is "Yago, the coquerrestrial", just so you are not kept in the dark. The game itself is fabulous - apart from tragic translation - so I'm not being bitchy, do devs need mentoring? Or is enough info available on the site? (I think so.) Do we need greater accessibility for people who speak another language?

Thoughts?
