I'm having trouble getting the scrambler to work at the Country Sons headquarters. Maybe I just don't understand how it works, but I'm finding it nearly impossible to match the sound frequencies together. I keep getting them wrong even though to me they sound very similar. I also don't know how many I need to get right in a row to open the gate. I'm able to get one correct by guessing after trial and error but the beeping sound doesn't change, or I don't notice the change. Not sure how to go about solving this puzzle. I've had C explain how it works about 3 times and I still don't understand. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Edit: I got it, never mind. I just kept trying and eventually It worked.

No, all the way to the left. Past the things that look like barrels. You have to walk to the far left, there is a space beyond what you see. I hope that was clear. It was a while ago that I was at that point in the game.

Shadow, have you tried walking to the left of the screen?

Shadow, this is what worked for me: I think I looked that the window with the vine or tried to interact with it. The main character noted that she needs to distract the cops with a sexy lady. After that happened, I went to the Dreaming Ladies or whatever it's called and talked to all of them until I found the one who would distract the cops for me. I paid her and she did it.

[AGAIN]

Actually, I knew that I needed to distract the guards with girls because I used a smoking hint and it told me so.

I'm actually stuck AGAIN. (SPOILER HERE) This time at the hotel I'm staying at. I reversed all the numbers on the doors and took the bucket of water. I'm stuck in the room now and I know I need to create a short circuit. The logical solution for me is combining the bucket of water with something electric in the room, like the cord from the tv or a lamp or something, but I can't combine the bucket of water with anything. I've tried it with the tv on and off, I've tried the lamp, I've tried combining the electrical sockets with the screw driver, even. I'm at a loss of what to do.

By the way, I'm absolutely loving this game. It's been so long since I've played a decent point and click game.

Thank you, sthomannch!

Edit: Okay, I feel really stupid, but I got the necklace and now I can't figure out how to distract the police men. I know I need to find a 'sexy lady' to distract them but the Dream Ladies are of no use. I've gone to every other woman in the game and none of them can help either. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be awesome thanks!

Also, what you suggested worked for me, thank you.
Could you give me a hint though? Do I just have to keep guessing which numbered shelf it is on? Or is there some kind of clue I am missing?

Edit: Okay, I have the hint about finding a filing system but I can't find one in the room. I'm really bad at timed puzzles. I always panic.

I actually can't remember if I saw the game over screen or not. I think it might have flashed for a moment before the crash. I pressed the space bar because I knew I had lost and wanted to try again (after realizing it was a timed puzzle).

I was on day four, and just entered the antique shop. I didn't know what to do about the alarm, and then I heard sirens and saw police cars pull up. At that point the game crashed. I tried to load my previous save from day four, but got this error:


An error has occurred. Please contact the game author for support, as this is likely to be a scripting error and not a bug in AGS.
(ACI version 3.02.1024)
Error: SetActiveInventory: invalid inventory number 0

Was there something I was supposed to do that I missed that set this off? I have a save from day three but don't want to continue if the game will crash again.

Hi, I am really stuck right now.

(SPOILER)  I'm in the Bookery, and I've passed the first test. I'm on the second test and I understand the pattern and rules for the game. I can't figure out how to win, though. I know I need to reply with a philosopher whose name starts with W, but I don't know where to get that information. I've tried everything, and I can't figure out what to do. I've tried all three conversation options and they all mean I lose the game. (fuck you and uhmm were two options, if you were wondering which question I was on.) Can someone tell me what I need to do? Thanks.
