yet?

I'm stuck at the same point now! 

I'm only a little bit ahead and need

Spoiler

a blade. I can't find the knife that I threw away and didn't find something else with a blade.

[close]

Thanks for your hint, now I can help you...

Spoiler

Try to get back to the closed gate... Surprise, surprise...

[close]

Spoiler

After you talked with this guy standing on the edge, go back down the secret path and have a "close" look at the tree in the front... Again some pixel hunting: the bark looks different at a certain spot...

[close]

Thanks so far, I made it to...

Spoiler

... the graveyard, now I'm "puzzled" with this "five down and two in" thing.

[close]

Does anybody know what that means?

Spoiler

Counting gravestones or stones on the wall of the cathredal ruin?  Even the inscriptions of the gravestone don't give me a clue?

Hi folks,

this really never happened to me before, but I'm already stuck at the very beginning...

Spoiler

I spoke to the thief, I found out about the way going south barried with bushes, I would need something sharp... But I only have my medaillon. The forest is too dark... I already did pixel hunting, but there seems to be no more hotspot to interact with. The spider web looks interesting, but also - nothing I can do with it.

[close]

What am I missing?

Thanks, I'm a top agent now! 

I already made my comments about your game in the "Completed Game Announcements" board and voted for your game and left a comment in the AGS games database!

Really cool game, with lots of humor. The puzzles were just right, fair and logical, neither too easy nor too difficult. Also liked the graphics, the switching between the characters, the music and the bonus achievemets. Reminds me a little bit of "manic mansion", but this is meant as a compliment. 

Good work, NickyNyce, thanks a lot for making this game!

Cool game! Already made it to the end, but...

Spoiler

I don't know how to get the achievement concerning "A love note to my wife Algae"

[close]

I'll try and do my best.
And you have a nice vacation!

Hi Tabata, it's you again, how are you?

Spoiler

Of course you did find the room with the mice, as a "mouse fetishist" - me didn't, the entrance is not clearly marked I think...

[close]

Ok, once again: "Danke schön!".

I'm stuck in the NASA base...

Spoiler

... I have the CD, the black DVD and the bread, but do not find any hotspots or combination of items to proceed anymore. I'd need tools to get the key in the grate on the upper floor or to interact with the antenna or the lock next to the panel outside, but cannot find them. The crane outside doesn't work either.

Thank you very much, Romeo, for this outstanding, creative game.

Some of the puzzles were really difficult, somehow I liked that, so it took me some long evenings to find out the solutions. Imo, some games have much too easy puzzles nowadays, so you are through them pretty too fast! Although sometimes it wasn't too obvious what the game wanted from me, but the longer I played it, the more I understod the way these puzzles are constructed.

Really nice game, with a very unique style and atmosphere, afar from the mainstream, although with some little bugs and flaws - most of them already mentioned in this forum. Perhaps you can eliminate those in an updated version of your game.

Be careful, spoiler ahead for those, who didn't complete the game so far:

Spoiler

Some examples:
1.) I felt completely lost concerning the several use of candle wax, the keyhole in the crypt an so on, a few hints would have been appreciated.
2.) It was difficult to find out what to do in the egyptian desert, that I first have to follow the meteorite to find the bedouine, who gave me the stones which, with help of the fortune teller, finally led me the way through the paths corresponding to the star signs. 
3.) The possible crashes of the game mentioned before: in the side room of the pyramid, when producing an earthquake while your horse is in the shed next to your house, during the fight with the minotaur or when using the wind power at the wrong place.
4.) The game mechanics during the fight with the minotaur are unbalanced, it is difficult to find the correct timing when to attack.
5.) Overall, there are too many possible dead ends and red herrings.

In spite of this criticism, overall a great game and work of art, I had a good time playing it.

Romeo, hope to see and play more from you in the future, you really made a god job!!   

Oh, I see...

Spoiler

You didn't manage to kill the devil at the cemtery who tries to grab her just in time...

[close]

That's sad of course... 

I already voted for the game and made a comment in the database. 

Vielen Dank für Deine Hilfe Tabata, Du bist ja unglaublich engagiert und aktiv in diesem Forum! Super!!! 

Did you rescue the world including Leyla? 

Oh, are there several endings??

Spoiler

In "my" ending, Leyla wanted to live with me and the last scene was a romantic kiss with her sorrunded by a big heart.

[close]

What might the other endings be and what triggers them?

Yeah, I finally made it, the world is saved (for now...)

Thanks for all the help from Tabata, Axxes and Shadow and the other hints in this forum.

Greetings from Germany,

Thank you Shadow1000,

I did try follow the meteorite several times before, but i didn't think, that I would have to do this again and again several times, before sth happens. Then I got too much distracted by the hints about the star signs in this forum, because nobody mentioned to follow the meteorite to find the bedouine an then the real story wth the different star sign begins...

[close]

Now I am at last in the pyramid! Let's see what comes next...  

No, there goes nothing...

Spoiler

I've been in in the desert several times at night, combined the star map with the sky and saw the map appear on the sky, then took this and that path by chance... Tried to interact with the mteorite... Tried to combine the map of the sirius constellation with the sky and so on...
Went back to England and Italy, nobody wants to talk with me any more, I can't interact with anything else any more which would provoce any change...
The fortune teller still only shows me the meteorite and the moon+star sign, which means, that I shall ride in the desert at night, but no hint, in which order I should follow the four paths...

[close]

That means, once again, I am completely stuck an doesn't know, what else I should try or do!

Stuck in the desert...

Spoiler

I want to reach the pyramids. The fortune teller showed me two stones, one with the meteorite and one with a moon-and-star sign. So, what have these signs got to do with the four paths? There are for star signs which may be connected with the paths (if I got this right): leo, cancer, snake and bear. I really can't see the connection between these four signs and the two stones the fortune teller showed me.

[close]

Thank you so much, Tabata and axxesfun ,

Spoiler

combining the wax with the keyhole finally did the trick. Now, after a cool exorcism (it reminds me of the classic movie), I made it to egypt.

[close]

Wow, these puzzles get more and more difficult... or am I too stupid?!
I didn't expect this game to become such a huge challenge, but otherwise, there are really plenty of games containing puzzles, which are much too easy, so I won't complain!

Spoiler

I finally placed the melted wax underneath the letter now, but I still have no stamp. The idea with the chest key, which reminds me of an Archbishop's sign, seems not to work. On the other hand, I finally found the crypt in the cathredal, so I thought maybe to find the Archbishop's ring there, but nothing seems to fit in the keyhole... Or am I following the wrong path at the moment?

[close]

This seems pretty logical. Maybe I'm misssing an important item?

Spoiler

Neither with the knife, the fire tongs (seperated or together) nor with the bodkin I'm able to cut the candle...

[close]

Please, Tabata, I'm really desperate...
