I'm playing this new game, Cradle, and am really enjoying the lonely weirdness of it, so I don't want any help (Yet!) but I do have a question of anyone who has finished the game. Does the game ever explain how and why an amusement park was built on the steppes of Mongolia? Indeed, am I so geographically challenged that the question is a dumb one? Anyway, I read a lot of bad things about the game, but far it suits my yen for something really strange. Is anyone else playing it?

We have had one other thread here in Hints about the game so far; you can find it here.

Maybe the two of you will be able to compare notes.

Yes, the game does explain how and why an amusement park was built on the steppes of Mongolia

Thank You; I now have another thrill to which I can look forward.

I am trying really hard to like this game because I REALLY like the visuals, but it's awkward at times. When I go into the amusement park and ride the elevator, I know the robot is supposed to call me and then do something for me. She doesn't. I must have missed a trigger somewhere. Note that she does call me earlier before I enter the park. Any ideas?

I hope someone can help.

I combined your new Cradle post with your original Cradle thread; that way we can all follow along better with your progress and it helps keep the forum tidy.

Yes, she usually opens the door for you in the park. If she does not - then you missed something or you are at the wrong door... What chapter are you in and what is the current task?

When I hit "Resume Game" I start up after the long conversation with the robot. She asks if I've brought the thing back yet and then I head for the park. (Which I enter without difficulty.) According to the "Tab" hint, I'm looking to "Find and inspect pavilion 7." I think that is "Up." However, I just noticed that my inventory is empty. Should it be?

That's the first time you are in the park? Do you try to enter door 7, and not some other?

I simply entered through the front door of the park. I'm not sure I ever saw a # 7.

Oh ZOUNDS! I have once again led myself down the rabbit hole. I mistakenly believed that there was only one working piece of machinery. I was wrong and have now found pavilion number seven and a new save spot. I can't wait to see what dumb thing I do next. Thanks for interest.
