Walkthrough Chapter 1

In the Afternoon

After the intro click on "Chapter 1.”  At the first scene (small wall) go left, then left again.  Sort the card out of wooden boards.  Follow the forest path to the chapel and look around.  Where the map is on the left, go to the cemetery on the right and talk to the doctor.

Head back to the first scene (small wall).  Go straight.  At the next scene on the left, find and take the tape recorder in the bushes on the right (click on the battery compartment several times).

Go to the next scene after that on the left to the junkyard behind the wall.  Find and take the batteries out of the container there.

Pass the house, and go down the stairs on the left.  Look around there to the right and left.  Take a pencil from the window sill to the right of the stairs (view from below).  Open the manhole cover near the gutter and take the medicine bottle.  Go straight forward.  At the next building look left to the gutter.  Overhear a conversation.  Then pick up the mailbox key.  

Go straight ahead two scenes, then left.  Use the pencil with a notepad found on the left under the parapet.  

Go back one scene to the bridge and look to the right at the river.  Look at the railing to the left (a message has been scratched there).  On the opposite side (river weir) ducks swim on the dammed water surface.  In addition, see an old boot that can be taken out later with a suitable object.  At the end of the bridge there is something wobbly on the wall that can also only be fetched later.  

Go left.  Then go left twice more to end up under a bridge.  Find and take the fishing rod with you.  

Go left twice and straight ahead twice. Then go to the right several times to where the ducks are.  Fetch the boot with the fishing rod and note the mark on the sole of the shoe. 

Head back to the wall.  Take the loose angle iron and combine it with the fishing rod.  Go to the scene with the ducks and all the way down to the water basin. Combine angle iron with tang.  Fish out the clown mask on the right edge of the picture.  Open the right mailbox with the key.  Find a tape and combine tape with tape recorder and batteries.  Place the tape recorder on the light shaft grille next to the stairs and listen.  

Then go left.  Click on the square recess in the house wall.  Read the code for hologram opener.   See poem: tent = triangle, 9 o'clock = point left, night = black.  

Go down through the grill door.  Take the keyboard out of the closet and combine the mask with the camouflage jacket.  

In the Evening

The garage is now also open.  Click on the book on the left, take the list of names with you.  Go back to the cemetery.  Have another conversation with the doctor.  If questions are asked, give him the medicine bottles.  Continue dialogue.   The doctor gives you a code.  After the conversation, look at the gravestone inscription and decipher the code (301202).  Remove the tape recorder from the light shaft.  Listen to a new recording.

Turn right when looking at the hall gate.  Plug the keyboard into the high voltage socket and enter the numerical code (301202).  Open the hall door, click on the entrance.  Place camouflage clothing onto clothing symbol.  Enter the hall.  Look around (bookshelf etc.).  Click on the small window in the railroad car.  Have a conversation with the prisoner.  Then enter the adjoining room.  Look through the window into the treatment room.  There is someone standing there.  Tell the gangster that someone has been brought in to be lured into the hall.  Tell about the secret sign and ask for the flashlight.  Give name list.  The correct name is "Jacob Frank.”  Look at the mirror over the sink.  Turn the mirror over and shine the flashlight on it.  Return flashlight.   Back in the big hall behind the train car, wait until the "real" boss comes.  Then quickly go to the bookshelf to use the secret mechanism (pull the second book from the right).  Click on the fig leaf for Adam and Eve.
