Is anyone writing a walkthrough? I am in Lovisa's apartment at the beginning, have checked everything out (I believe so anyway) and don't know what to do next, cannot leave yet and don't know why......
Love, Betty Lou

Did you find the mail on the floor?

Ana

Mail should be in the hallway... have you examined your suitcase??

You've most probably got well past this point by now.
'Originally', the package is not there. You have to do at least two actions in a certain order for it to materialise.
Extract from partial walkthrough ..............

Thanks Sue, Ana, Tigger & LenG. I have found the letter in the hallway at the apartment (Lovisa's) and examined my suitcase too. Now that I have opened the letter and read it I have left and went to see Conrad's lady friend, been to the tower and looked around, now I have the partial walkthrough and will try some more.
Love, Betty Lou

Yes, I am. Have found one item at the church. Do not know what it goes to. Or where to go from here. Will wait for LenGand some more hints/help.
Am I the only one playing this game yet?
Love, Betty Lou

Betty Lou, which item did you find in the church and where have you been? I can help you, just let me know what you are stuck on.

Ana

AFAIK ... until somewhat later in the game, you only need to 'obtain' ONE item in the church (see spoiler below) ... and then USE it.

The "church key" !

I found that key but it does not open that locked door out in the church 'lobby', and I cannot find another door to try it on.
Love, Betty Lou

Extract from the continuation of my partial-W/T (not yet posted) .................

SPOILER BELOW ..................

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .............

***** It’s a church key … pick it up.
***** Return down the stairs and face the entrance door.
***** Go straight forward to the main door (3 times actually) and turn RIGHT towards a purple colored door.
***** Go forward to this locked door.
***** Open this door with the church key and enter.

Hi, if someone comes upon a chair (I think I need a chair) would he be kind enough to tell me where it is.

And his there someone good at playing the piano.

All of this in the church.

Thanks.


Chief.

Chief, have you come across anything else in another area yet that you can use to climb up on?

Ana

Ana, I had a ladder to go out a window in Gustav Grip's basement, but can't take it with me and can't go out by the stuck basement door.

Is it possible to take the ladder?

Thanks.

Chief.

Hi Chief....yes, you need to find an object in Gustav's office that you can use to hold the door open.

Hi Sue! :kiss:

Ana

Ana, I had not finish reading your hint that I has on my way to block that door. :kiss:

Do you play the piano

Do we have to play it?

Thanks.

Chief.

You're safe Chief....you don't need to play the piano. There is one "musical" puzzle but it's fairly easy (only 4 buttons).

Ana

Ana, thats good news, but right now I don't feel like playing: someone has hit me on the head.

Chief.

OK, I used my key from the pulpit on the purple doors, have searched the priests dressing area etc, and looked at some pictures of the old church, somewhere picked up a small key but don't remember seeing it or doing it but it is in my inventory, also went into that other purple door and searched, have been up to the balcony and searched, guess there is nothing else to find in the church, cannot unlock that door out by the entrance door. Guess I will leave. Where do I look to find Gustav's office/basement?
Love, Betty Lou

Are you all being literal or just funny? I am pretty far along-have ladder,rose,cleaning product, etc., but will stop if someone is going to hit me on the head. I have been fighting flu-like symptoms and a terrible headache all week and would like to avoid any more discomfort. So if a head injury is in my future, I would appreciate a "heads up".
Thanks, Carole

Carole, near the end of the game, you will get hit on the head. But it's not that bad.

Betty Lou, did you see the cleaning can in the chandelier?

And the basement door at Gustav is the one on the right as you arrive from the map.

Hope it's OK.

Chief.

Being funny? Who us? Take a good look at my avatar and tell me I'm not funny! I have found Gustav's "grip" been to the basement, bathroom, clothes line in the back yard and been to Vivetech found key, opened office took pestle, have missed a "chandelier with cleaning product in it" have to go back and look, would that have been in the church, at Gustav's in the basement or at Vivetech somewhere? Have not looked at any chandeliers yet, need to do some more searching. I like this game because it is not too difficult for me and I only check the (partial) walkthrough after I have 'done' an area and feel I have missed something, like now.......ho, ho, ho
Love, Betty Lou

Thanks LenG, just after I posted I went back to the grip, then the church and found it but need to use something on it and I don't know what, am I supposed to get it? or knock it down or something? and what can I use? don't see any sticks around or a ladder to stand on.......
Love, Betty Lou
P.S. me, funny? and here I am always trying so hard to BE Funny! Do I miss the 'mark' or am I just a silly-old-lady-who-looks-like-a-cat-wearing-a-big-fancy-hat-and-glasses?

Betty Lou....have you seen any collection baskets in the church? Did you use a ladder anywhere in the game?

Ana

Ah, yes, saw collection baskets, used ladder in 'grip' basement, did not realize I could pick it up and take it with me, mmmmm, now need to find something to prop open that darned door! mmmmm, thinking is so hard this morning but will give it a try and have to leave to go to my church soon, I am one of Santa's helpers for the family/kids Christmas craft day and lunch. Gonna forego one of my usual hats and wear those antlers that I grow once a year, the one with the long blond wig attached....."gonna have a good time" with the kids and their parents today, will need a nap when I get home after lunch.
Love,Betty Lou

mmm, that would be OK, just need to have hubby take one of me with his digital then figure out where to post it - TheDerman's GB album is gone now.....and cannot remember where or how to post on our 'other' GB album.....I should also get busy and post pictures of me in my various hats, will add this to my list of things to do...
Love, Betty Lou
P.S. Any ideas what I can use to prop open that silly door? or how do I make the magnet stronger to hold it open for me?

There's a cupboard in Gustav's office (quite likely you've GOT the (rather rare) item already in your inventory ?!?

Betty Lou, I see by your earlier post you have the item you need to prop the door. There is a hotspot on the bottom of the door that is a bit tricky to see....Have fun!

Ana

Oops! Yes I do have that cup, now do I slap my forehead? Yes! Thanks much
Love, Betty Lou

Len...when you take the pestle isn't it inside a mortar? Looks like a cup...

Ana

Turns out I do not have any cup in my inventory. I have the pestle but have not been able to pick up the mortar. Have seen more than one coffee cup in the offices at Vivetech but cannot pick any of them up either. Just where do I get this "cup" that I can use as a doorstop? Scratching my head over this one.
Love, Betty Lou

Well, got the ladder out and went back to the church, have been everywhere but cannot find where I saw those collection baskets earlier, feel like a hamster in an exercise cage, getting tired of going round and round and round and getting nowhere.....where did I see those baskets? please
Love,Betty Lou

They are in one of the rooms that are all connected in the church up high on a rack. I want to say you need to turn around when you walk in the room and look up, but I could be mistaken.

Ana

Found them, got cleaner. Now have to sleep on it and think about what I should do next. There is no new place to go and I have no idea what to do next or what to look for......goodnight - and thanks for your help. 'See' ya tomorra
Love, Betty Lou

I have the cleaner, don't know where I am supposed to use it - back at Vivetech? And I have no "downtown" area on my map nor Marianne's residence, what did I miss?
Love, Betty Lou

Ah,,,,, I found downtown, been back to Vivetech and finished up there. Now for a stroll thru the area and gotta get ready to go to church, for real.
Love,Betty Lou

Good going ... I guess you missed some stuff at Vivatech and returned & did everything there.
B U T Did you read the yellow post-it there ... it's ESSENTIAL (for later) !!

If you like scenic ambience ... wandering around "Downtown" will be a REAL pleasure for you ... actually MUCH more for you to SEE than to DO !
But there IS one thing you MUST DO.
So as not to give you an actual spoiler ... did you CAREFULLY note the P.S. to the page-5 of the printout at Vivatech ??

Haifa weather ... on the whole fairly nice (especially up here on Mount Carmel). Rather similar to coastal California I think but maybe not QUITE as nice. Beautiful Spring and Autumn (Fall in USA I think ?). Hot summers ... not BURNING since it's fairly high up and on the Mediterranean Sea (which tends to produce too much humidity to be pleasant at times). Cold but generally VERY FAR from freezing winters ... Coldish but nice now !!
P.S.
*** Lots of Biblical associations between Haifa & the prophet Elijah !!
*** Also I had an uncle who was born in London (must have been about 1890 ???) who when he was in his 20's or so emmigrated to Sacramento for some sort of health reasons, married and lived there for the rest of his life. His name was Mathews (my late mother's 'maiden name') ... but he had no children or family and died there decades ago !!

Betty Lou, the clue for what you're searching for downtown is found on the page printed on the printer on Vivatech.

Thanks, I now have the yellow rose and the hairpin, but just where is Marianne Stridh's residence? Rydgatan 3 is not appearing on my map...now what have I missed?
Love, Betty Lou

~~ BLBJ ~~ :kiss:
From my walkthru ... Gustav's office.

***** There are many files lying around. They are of no interest except one red one

Thanks LenG, I kept looking on every computer screen I could see and could find no postitnote, thanks for pointing me in the right direction, yet again......love this game! I do OK for a bit then get stuck and use your hints-w/t to help me along. And I can't believe how many have 'peeked' at this thread.....over 500+! :kiss:
Love, Betty Lou

Remedy - truly a delightful game! Great use of music, appropriately atmospheric.

I'm now standing by, prepared rag in hand, ready to clean... something.

Can't wait to find out what!

Arb, can I suggest a plaque.

Have fun.


Chief.

I appreciate the suggestion, but have searched high and low (OK, mostly high) for said plaque.

No luck.

I can't recall ANY hotspot (except for the safe) for which I didn't/don't have the right inventory item.

Clearly I haven't yet SEEN the plaque. :-{

Arb, go for an industry. Hope you have that cleaning can.



Chief.

mmmm, cleaning rag + industry? Do not remember seeing a plaque at Vivetech, guess have to go back and look or maybe downtown? Didn't see a plaque at the 'allotment' either......side question = is an 'allotment' in Sweden a garden? or a vacation property? or what?
Love, Betty Lou

~~ Arb & BLBJ ~~
I suppose that you ARE in the "East DOCKS" !!
P.S.
In England an allotment is a little patch of ground usually fairly near to one's house ... but not a garden ... usually for growing vegetables and the like (for eating).
I assume the same for Sweden ???

Betty Lou...you are looking for the docks location.

Ana

Yes, the docks are more appropriate and the allotment will be a garden.


Chief.

Oups, sometime in french, we may use the word "jardin" (garden)as for flowers or a space for vegetables.

Sorry for the incorrect information.

Chief.

Folks, what must I do to make the docks location show up on my map?

You're all terrific, btw!

Arb I got that location after talking with Bob in his lab at Nanotech.

Did you talk to K. Vogel in her back yard?

Chief.

Ya lost me - East Docks? Lab? Nanotech? Am assuming I must go back and talk to ? again, this time in her back yard? None of these other places are on my map and the only industry I have is Vivetech, didn't see any plaque there.
Love,Betty Lou

Betty Lou, please let me correct myself : when I said a plaque on an industry, I was thinking of a buildind (industry)or a warehouse at the docks.

Sorry to have misleaded you.

Hope you get back on track.

Chief.

WONDERFUL GAME!

I figured that the only place I hadn't been was inside the safe. Suddenly I realized that the code was (at a certain location) staring me in the face!

Everything else fell quickly into place.

And did I mention the lovely music? :-}

Looking forward to the sequel!

So I will get "the docks" on my map if I go back and talk to whats-her-face? in her back yard?
Love, Betty Lou
P.S. Leading me astray, oh what fun!

Betty Lou, if you talk to Mrs. Vogel, you will get Bob's address at Nanotech on the map.

Then, talking with Bob will get you the docks on your map.

Yes what fun!

Chief.

It appears that Mrs Vogel is not at home and I am not sure how to go about 'just hanging out' somewhere to waste time and wait for her return. It sounds as though I have missed doing something somwhere. Any ideas?
Love, Betty Lou

Plaque is probably a correct word; but it is somewhat more mundane than that ......... more a simple (rather small) sign(notice)-board attached to a large closed 'entrance'.

~~ BLBJ ~~
You're getting quite near to the end of the game. I'm also there with my walkthrough but haven't yet double (or rather triple) checked this yet !!

BUT .....................
**** S P O I L E R S ****
(1)Did you visit the allotment ?
(2)Did you see a poster on the wall.
(3)Did you return to Conrad's apartment?
(4)Did you open the safe and read ALL the contents ?
(5)Did you THEN visit Katarina (in her garden)?

** All this ++ ** should lead you to Bob at Nanotech and from there to the Docks.

Betty Lou, have you been back to Conrads flat?? I remember something happened there, could be a trigger

Hooray, I have found Madeline. Now I used my knife to cut my ropes but can't use it on hers, and cannot untie her, what have I missed yet again?
Love, Betty Lou

Look around .........
