I installed the game and have a question. When starting a new game, it has 2 choices, Director's cut or The last visit. Is the director's cut, the full game with the new chapter and the last visit, is just the new chapter? If the answer to this is in the manual, I must have overlooked it. Thanks. smile

The Director's Cut is the full game of the original, with some new puzzles and enhancements. The Last Visit is the new chapter, which takes place about six years later after the events of the original game. So, if you want to replay the entire game again, you should start with the Director's Cut section first and then play Last Visit. wave

Inferno,

"Playing Scratches by lightening and thunder." Reminds me of playing Dark Fall 1 at 3 am in the morning with ALL of the house's lights off!

I'm going to have to order this!

It's very quick to download and install. I suggest you apply it, even if you found the way to open the door!


We're sorry about this problem - we do hope that you enjoy all the features we included, especially the new chapter with some shocking revelations! smile

Do you like the new control method?


Geez Louise, Rael! I all this time I thought that you did that on purpose!!! heeheeheeehe. I love the enhanced music --- controls are terrific, sweetie.

I've played the first part of the game. It plays exactly like the first game. I'm kinda disappointed. I'm on the final chapter.
The graphics do look better than the first one tho.

I agree, I played the first one as well and I didn't find any difference in game play. The graphics were better, much better than the first and the music was good, but I didn't run into anything new, at least I don't think I did. I'm on the final chapter, but haven't gotten very far yet. You know with it being Mom's day and all, kind of hard to tell the family I'm busy if you know what I mean? : )

I noticed many differnces ---

Enhanced graphics
The 360 degree world has far less wobblines and more direction
The music and sounds have been enhanced as well
Michael has a self updating journal.

Far more easter eggs than before.

And there is supposed to be an alternative ending which still escapes me.

Hi Inferno! wave

I've tried various combinations, but the alternative ending is also eluding me. I've also not been able to find the ending points for the game. duh

Have you had any luck finding your ending points?

The alternative ending trigger is not just one event. It is doing an action several times each day.
Rael is working on a patch to change the accessibility of the alternative ending.

Points? think

Thanks MaG, I guess I'll wait for the patch.

Points - I meant the scoring system that was mentioned in the game manual. Maybe Rael could also give us a pointer about where and how to use the scoring system.

Hey everybody!

As you all know, this has been quite a troubled release. Several odd issues slipped by, some of them downright unacceptable (I'm certain the door problem will become infamous in no time). I basically wanted to let you know that this was due to an internal problem. We will make an official statement about it the next week.

We obviously had a rough weekend here but I will be replying to all your inquiries in no time. I really want to thank you for your incredible patience and understanding. So far, no one has insulted us yet, which I find extremely surprising

Jokes aside, I also wanted to let you know that there's a big surprise on the way, especially being made for the Director's Cut edition. And this is going to be big in every sense of the word!

All the best,
Agustin

Director Cut --- means that it is the original adventure but enhancements set in to it --- just as many Movies have "Director's Cut" versions. This issoes has an alternative ending which the first issue did not, and an added chapter, a fixed mouse while 360 degree panning --- and enhanced sound and graphics. There have been more Easter eggs included in this issue. If you play the game exactly as you played the original you will miss much of the enhancements.

The scoring system did not work well and therefore has been scraped. I'm hoping a patch will some day be added for it.

Easter eggs might be fun to find, but they are not why I buy a game. Actually I'm surprised at the number of technical problems with the game. I have the patch installed, and am still having a lot of random crashes.

Personally, I'd be happier with less Easter eggs and a game that runs smoother. Hopefully, with the next patch, they will have resolved some of these problems. It's a little disheartening to be at a choice scary part of the game, and have it crash to the desktop.

I'm glad, and I hope it continues to do so for you. Because in my opinion it's a great game. For some reason, I'm having a random crashing problem. Hopefully, it's limited to just me. lol
