Ok, I give up. I've played hours yesterday and today. I've drawn him twice, but can't beat him. He cheats!!!

Can you send me a saved game Mag? I've had to close my windows here so the neighbors don't hear me cursing!

TA DAAA!!! I won! Now where is that darn scarf she left that I was supposed to win? Surely I don't have to win more than one game.

Well done! I gave up on the stoopid billiards.

Did you check your inventory in case the scarf automatically went there?

I found it, thanks Rushes. I just about pulled my hair out with that billards game. My poor cat has been in hiding.

Glad you got it.

I have a very peculiar problem now. I did not give Olga the scarf. I also didn't do the looking at the picture in the study till much later in the game, and didn't get the photograph album.

Anyway, in my version Simone is the one who was killed, not Olaf. I walked the stranger up to see him, and didn't give him the suitcase, and I've been wondering around since then. Hincus won't give me more information, Bruen won't open her door, Olaf and Barnstocre just keep saying they hope they've helped the investigation, and Alec says he can't remember anything else. Oh and I've talked to the maid too.

Any ideas?

Edited to say, I'm going to look at the walkthrough a bit more, and maybe just go back and replay from dancing with Olga since that may have been what made the difference, and I can see from the walkthrough that gives the best ending. Decisions decisions.

Look around Simone's room; talk to stranger. Check Olga or Mozer's room or find them to talk.

I've done all that. I have the suitcase, I've talked to stranger and turned him down about suitcase. I talked to Olga and Mozer in their rooms and now he won't disturb them anymore. Hmm.

The trigger for the next ending is the talk with Hincus. You have to interrogate him again.

Thanks! I've done that though, over and over and over. He just says he won't talk. So I've gone back to right before the party when I have to get the whiskey for him.

Hope the replay works for you.

We'll, I've redone everything over, and followed the walkthrough faithfully. I finally got Olaf as the corpse and not Simone. There are so many variations I think in the game. Anyway, the stranger is here, Olaf is dead, I've talked to everyone, except I can't get Bruen to reopen the door to tell me what happened with Olaf. And Hincus still will not tell me who tied him up. I spent about 10 minutes clicking on him over and over.

Any ideas?

I sent you my 3 endings. See if they will work for you.

Thanks, Mag, it worked and I was able to play the 3 endings. I enjoyed the game -- I might have been disgusted if I'd accidentally played the first ending first, but the last one was good.

For the life of me I can't figure out what I didn't do throughout the game that I couldn't get through to those endings. Unless you actually have to do the first ending, and then can go back and do the others? I may try it if I get ambitious.

Anyway, thanks again!

You have to meet the stranger; then do the second ending and finally the third. Glad you saw all of the endings though.

I also cant seem to get past the darn pool game and im a pretty good pool player. the angles seem wrong...weird

bestoufan - see the PM I posted. The e-mail was denied.

Do you have another e-mail address?

HI, I would also appreciate a savegame after the pool game. Thanks in advance.

Micronta,

The saved game is sent.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome. Have fun.

Hello.

I'm having a problem to get in the shower room.

I did not get the comment from Peter realizing that no one is in the shower room.

Reading and following the WT in the "Find out who is in the shower" chapter, when I go to the shower, Simone and du Barnstocre are still there.

Any special action that must be done to get in the shower room?

Thanks for the help.

Chief

Hi Chief,

Yes, you'll need to go around and speak to absolutely everyone in the hotel. Once you've found them all, you'll have eliminated all the possibilities and will be able to enter the shower room. You might have missed just one person?

Thanks Rushes. I'll go around another time to see what I missed.

Chief

Rushes, please send me a save gave for around the time before or after the shower room. Thanks.

Must have miss something else even after retalking with everyone.

Chief

My saves aren't labelled, but I'll send you two from around this point (at the Pool game, and the save prior to that).
