Boy I wish I knew German! This game looks great, but I won't understand a word of it...

Resurrected to ask a question:

Spoiler

How do you solve that Error 743 computer puzzle? Which connection(s) are we trying to make?

[close]

EDIT: Nevermind! I got it!

Couple things I noticed:

Spoiler

I attempted to use the screwdriver on the exhaust tube, but the game went ahead and used the potato on the tube instead.

Also, I'm still not sure how I triggered the escape pod. I set the buttons to Red, Green , and Blue, like the RGB letters on the CD indicated, and the lever moved. After that, I tried to used the lever but the hotspot seemed to be gone. I clicked around a bit randomly and then suddenly the escape pod triggered. Where you just supposed to wait after setting the buttons?

The items in the inventory sit rather high up in the inventory box, actually pressed up at the top.


Anyways, it was entertaining and a good first game!

Thanks for all the help! I've finished the game, and I'm glad I stuck it out.

I'm at the end of the game now, and it's been really fun so far.

I have to wonder though,

Spoiler

when you get the dog. what is that "NGGRRRR!" sound you(or the dog) makes when you look at it in inventory? Doesn't sound like any dog I've heard.

On another note, wow what an ending!

Im stuck really early on, at 12%,

Spoiler

I have the factory, gallery, park, apartment locations, i need to get a double zoom camera for the kid and in my inv i have my wallet, the camera, a broken wrench, a lockpick, the gum device, a leaflet, the shovel, the magnifying glass and the glue

[close]

please tell me what the next thing to do is.

@noviigrac:
You missed something at the factory.

Spoiler

Answer:check the gutter/drainpipe.......grab the broken piece.

[close]

further help:

Spoiler

doesn't the magnifying glass zoom in?

you need something to attach it to the camera though.

[close]

full answer:

Spoiler

Use the wrench on the broken gutter to break it into two piece. Use the glue on the gutter pieces and then the magnifying glass on it to create a zoom lens. Last, attach the zoom lens to the camera. Voila!

Okay, now my question. I'm at 86%, in the Epilogue.

Spoiler

The Newsboy has asked me to find his dog. I know it's in the park, but I don't know how to get it.

Trish:

Spoiler

you need the combination to the safe, which can be found in the closet. post back if you have trouble opening the latter

SHADOW

I have already

Spoiler

opened the closet, but he only says he doesn't need the contents.

[close]

I'm at 41%, and I'm a bit stuck as to what to do next.

Spoiler

I have the office, Maletti's club, hotel, graveyard and park locations available.

I've gone to the Dragon Suite in the hotel, which by they way I figured by trial and error (it was actually my first choice) I don't know if you were supposed to get the room number from somewhere. I've looks at the Kongo painting in the suite and locked safe and drawer. I don't know where the next step is....

Gotta say, love the tribute? parody? shout-out? to Horatio Caine of CSI Miami. As soon as I heard "YEEEEEEAAAH!" that Red Justice song made sense. I loved that show, but Horatio was really cheesy.

On the topic of music, I only get music at the title screen not in the game, is this intended (super minimal music)?

Well, there are some areas without music and in some places the background music in the game is pretty low key and quiet (at least for me) so if your volume isn't up too high, you might not hear it.  For instance, in the well, the music is almost equal in volume to the running water.

Thank you JSH for all the comments. We will draw conclusions (some people might go jump off a bridge, but never mind that) 

In some places you can't even click past the speech at all making it even worse(like the guitar guy song).

This was intentional because of the timing with the music. But you're right, it should've been skippable entirely with ESC. Btw, I had a problem with skippable cutscenes, namely the game was freezing after pressing ESC. It only worked in the intro for some reason.

I get the timing with the music, but the thing is, I'm one of those people who don't always play with the sound on. If I hadn't read these posts, I wouldn't have known why the text wasn't skippable. Maybe you could have some of caption or cue there that says something like "turn up the volume" so those of us who might be playable with the volume down know to turn it up to get the full effect.

Yay! It worked! Thanks!

Hah, I though I had already tried the

Spoiler

bottle on the component

[close]

but it looks like that was probably the only thing I hadn't tried.   Thanks!

I feel dumb. I can't even figure out what to do in the first screen.

Also you could try

Spoiler

picking up the sneaker and looking at it right after the intro (skipped with ESC)

[close]

I did that, I even tried redownloading it. On a different computer. Still won't let me have the string.

I am currently playing, and as much I am enjoying it, I seem to have run into a problem. I am now at the stage where

Spoiler

I need the string for the firecracker, and according the helpful Shadow1000 over at the Hints & Tips forum, I should only have to look at the sneaker to get the shoelace from it to use as string.

Unfortunately, I have looked at the darn sneakers a thousand times, and all the bum does is describe it. I have even tried starting a new game, grabbing the sneaker right away and looking at it, and even looking at the sneaker while it's on the ground. He still does noting beyond describing it.

Is there some sort of a bug here? Or am I missing something?

No, I tried it again...

Maybe try using

Spoiler

sneaker on sneaker, using the hand icon

[close]

and then looking. I know that you don't need to do anything special or use anything else.

SHADOW

Yeah, still nothing. Maybe there's something I need to do before I can get it? Is it doable right from the moment you pick it up?

Yes, it is...it's right there from the beginning of the game. Maybe the author can suggest what's going wrong? I did restart the game to confirm before I posted my answer.

SHADOW

Huh...I know you can get the sneaker at the start of the game, but I have tried interacting with right after getting (by restarting and looking/grabbing first thing) and in my current save game. No dice either time.

No, I tried it again...

Maybe try using

Okay, I'm confused. How do you get

Spoiler

the string for the firecracker? I though maybe it was the shoelace from the sneaker, but I can't for the life of me get it off of the sneaker. I think I've searched every inch of the game...

[close]

Trish:

Yes, you are right

Spoiler

try simply looking at the sneaker

[close]

Good luck

SHADOW

See, I already tried that. All he does is describe the shoe. Am I missing something?
