Hi Pogwizd,
I'll try to explain again how to solve the puzzle:

Spoiler

the first line of the poster contains the "request" (11 12 11 or 1 1 1 2 1 1) that is the equivalent of the numers of knocking you hear (4 knock - 2 knock - 2 knock - 2 knock - 3 knock - 3 knock or 4 2 2 2 3 3);
the second line of the poster contains the "suggestion/solution" of the puzzle (31 12 21 or 3 1 1 2 2 1), that is the equivalent of the answer to give (1 4 3 2 2 3);
The concept behind this puzzle is that you have to undertand that the two lines of the poster are in reality a numerical sequence (and not a date and a time);
So, if the first line (question) is 1 1 1 2 1 1 and second line (solution) is 3 1 1 2 2 1, is because the first line is composed by 3 times the number 1, 1 time the number 2 and 2 times the number 1 (3-1 1-2 2-1)
If we would like to continue this numerical series, the third line after 3 1 1 2 2 1 will be 1 3 2 1 2 2 1 1 and so on;
In conclusion, if you hear 4 2 2 2 3 3 knocking (question), the solution is 1 4 3 2 2 3.
I hope that clarifies the position, but please let me know if now it is clear!

Hi Stupot,
I'm glad you decided to try this game!
Please let me know your comments after completing the game!

Hi Shadow1000,
I apologize for the delay in replying! I was on vacation. 
The italian version of the game has been tested by 5 persons: three out of five have completed the game without any hint and four out of five have solved the last puzzle independently!
Bye!

Shadow1000,
Concerning the hint on the poster

Spoiler

the poster says from 11 12 11 (that is the equivalent of the numbers of knocking you hear, 4 2 2 2 3 3) to 31 12 21, that is 3 times 1, 1 time 2 and 2 times 1 (the equivalent of 1 4 3 2 2 3, the solution for the knocking) 

[close]

About the other example

Spoiler

the infernal lymph doesn't exist in reality, as doesn't exist a drug named HELLISH, it's only a funny expedient to create a drug like that with a fluid "coming from the hell"

[close]

Bye!

Hi Pogwizd,

Spoiler

to solve the puzzle of the USB drive you have to examine the USB drive and use the hided number as "Key"

[close]

If you need here's the solution:

Spoiler

the password is MONKEY

[close]

If you have other questions try to see the Hints and Tips section of the forum.

Shadow1000,
I really appreciate your review and for it I thank you!
For sure I'll take into consideration your suggestions for the future chapters.
Anyway, I would like to explain you the last puzzle that, in my opinion, is the best one:

Spoiler

you hear from the other side of the door: 4 knock - 2 knock - 2 knock - 2 knock - 3 knock - 3 knock. So the solution is 1 4 3 2 2 3 because is a mathematical sequence, that is 1 time 4 knocking, then 3 times 2 knocking and 2 times 3 knocking. If you take into consideration the poster outside the club there's a suggestion to solve it

.

Thank you all again for your time!

Michael2968,
You have to

Spoiler

collect the empty bottle and the funnel inside the club, then combine them togheter. After that you can use the resulting bottle with funnel to mix the three ingredients for the drug

[close]

Shadow1000,
concernig the

Spoiler

fight sequence, you simply have to click (with left clic of mouse) the buttons in the right sequence (1, 2, 3, 4) within a specific time limit (not visibile) 

[close]

Shadow1000,
I mean

Spoiler

the receptionist at the entrance of the building (downstair). The dialogue option for the quest is the penultimate. So strange if it does't appear, but I can't help you further... If necessary, try to restart the game

[close]

Michael2968,
Here's the requested hint:

Spoiler

speak to the boss (Dr. Jacob Redfield)

[close]

Bye! 

Shadow1000,
You have to

Spoiler

talk with Marion Simmons of the pencil sharpener (she's the receptionist located at the entrance of the office (on the left of the screen)) and accept to help her to solve the problem of the phone number on the blocknotes. After that you can take the pencil sharpener situated near Marion Simmons, above her desk!

[close]

Let me know if you find it!
Bye!

Hi Shadow1000,
Here's the answer:

Spoiler

the pencil sharpener is above the Marion Simmons's desk (at the entrance of the TiBRAIN Offices), you can take it after completing the Simmons's quest, by giving her the blocknotes with the phone number written in pencil

[close]

Enjoy the game! 

Here's the solution:

Enjoy!   

Exactly

Spoiler

[close]

Let me know if you find it!
At your disposal for any questions!
Bye!

Hello everyone!

Concernig the last post here's follow a little help:

Spoiler

try to search in a place where are items that can be lit (e.g. candles  )

[close]

Let me know if you need further help!

Thank you all for playing Paul Romano and for your comments! 

Congratulations on finishing the game and many thanks for your review! 

The project consists of three parts, and I've just got all the necessary to complete the second chapter... Anyway, before starting the new work, I'll evaluate the popolarity of this first chapter.

Thank you again for playing Paul Romano! 

Hi Michael2968!
Thanks for your reply! 
Here's the answer to your question:

Spoiler

the pencil is above the desk of Paul Romano between the printer and the monitor 

[close]

Enjoy the game!
Bye!

Hi agentbauter!
First of all, thank you for the time you have decided to dedicate to this game and for your comment! 
I take into consideration your suggestion of a double-click to skip the walking for a future release!

Now, about the other matter...

Spoiler

you have to solve the puzzle taking into consideration the poster near the entrance. The first line of numbers of the poster is equivalent to the number of knocking you hear from the other side of the door... A little help: it's a mathematical sequence! Instead, if you need the solution see the following spoiler text!

[close]

Here's the other part (only in case of EXTREME necessity )

Spoiler

the solution is 1 4 3 2 2 3

[close]

Please let me know your comments when you end the game!
Thanks! 

I have taken note of your suggestion! 

Concerning the specific case:

Spoiler

The expedient of the graphite powder is really happened in my life! So, I figured that it could be funny to insert it in the game! Anyway, I agree with you, and in particoular with your suggestion to add an hint similar to: "The key fits in the keyhole but won't turn. The mechanism seems a bit jammed up. Maybe it needs some kind of non-liquid lubricant to get it turning?"

Thank you again for your help, Mandle! 

Hi Mandle!! 
I really appreciate your comments and your criticism (about the translation!).
To answer your questions, I would like to specify that I have been working on this project for almost 5 years with some friends, in our spare time.
We were doing the best that we could, with really few resources, and obviously we know that there are many imperfections, but our goal is to realize something of ours to share with the world!
Anyway, thank to your feedback, we'll try to improve some critical aspects, as the translation!

In regard to the other matter... if you are REALLY sure you'd like to know:

Spoiler

first you have to combine the pencil whit the blank paper, and then you have to combine the resulting (pencil+paper) with the pencil sharpener; in this way you can obtain the graphite powder!

[close]

Again, thank you a lot for your reply and I am looking forward to receive you opinion when you end the game!

For now I thank all who wish to try this game, and thank you all for your time!

I look forward to hearing your comments.

I need to make interactive movies by the appearance of some buttons (GUI) that, according to their proper combination, make that the video processing in one way rather than another.
Anyway I decided, following your advices, to combine parts of video (in which is no interaction) linking to sequences of images loaded via dynamic sprite and for now everything seems to work very well!
Thank you very much for helping!
