Well, I'm about ready to give up on this game, shocking as that might seem, but I simply can NOT solve this weapon/girder puzzle



I couldn't work it out from your hint, either, dragonuk44, because you don't give a starting point

Just had another dozen or so attempts, kjos, but still no go !!



And I'll have to stop for the moment. Run out of "play" time

Mad,



Gil.

Richard,

You may already have gotten this but in case you haven't, the clue you need for the crossword is in the book in the bar.



Gil.

Thanks so much Gil. I didn't do any of that. I used a coin on the rocker and he played the jukebox and I read the book. Now I have to figure what to do next.Richard

Richard,

I can't remember if he leaves while you're there.
If he doesn't, just Exit the room and go back in again.

I really thought Herbert the fig would be the Trevor the cockroach of this game.
But no.
Darn.

Gil.

Gil how many hours have we played on this game. I've never had a harder game. MaG is just laughing.
Richard

Now you go back to the grocery store, Richard.
Click on the owner and fill in his crossword.
You only have to fill in that one clue.

Look at it this way, we've been such a help MaG can just whiz through her walkthrough.
Snickering a lot.

Gil.

Solved the crossword puzzle,
Wonder if MaG will ever write a WT fir this game.
Richard

She could be mean and just tell anyone who asks for one to read this thread.


Gil.

Okay, I will be mean.

That works for me.

off to red rock need some help in the restaurant. Something to do with the window.

Richard,

Read back a little in the thread. Dragon asked about this.

Gil.

Dragon said just close the door but there isn't any door just exit.

I went back and played that part again, Richard.
Here's the way I did it.


Gil.

Where is this in the game? I didn't do any of this, but still finished the game....WEIRD.

You had to ask me.
Do you know what a short attention span I have?
Ah...well, the way I got there this time (I won't swear I got there this way before) was to do the bit in the boathouse then talk to the shop owner who sent me to the waitress who told me where the photographer's work was being shown.

How's that for a run-on sentence?

Are you sure you didn't do this, JonVox?
I can't figure out how you finished the game if you didn't.
That photo is key to the solution.

Gil.

Hmmm...Definitely didn't do it.

The game knew who you were.
You got preferential treatment having been a part of it.



Petter Ljungqvist dove into some pretty heavy themes for an adventure game.
I'll admit the ending brought me up short and left a bad taste in my mouth despite the "happy" ending, but then I thought there's never been any dearth of games about war and weapons manufacturers or religious cults; it's only the very sensitive subject he touched on that was so shocking.
We cringe away from it and wonder how on earth anyone could do that.
Sorta brave of him to make a game about it.

Gil.

Ha! Think so? Wish it would've given me preferential treatment in a couple other spots in the game...

I just found a video playthrough, so I see what I missed....yeah, not sure how it let me finish the game. Seems like a crucial step.

Shoot, I added a comment in the post you replied to, JonVox.
What did you think about the game's ending?

Gil.

Out of the frying pan into the fire !!


So I'm having to ask for help again, please, as timed sequences in Adventure games are not and never have been my thing
