Hi FJT,

Yes, the method you should use to solve the work schedule logic puzzle is found in a blue binder in the theater office. It teaches you how to solve logic puzzles.

Alternatively, you can look at this link, which also explains the process, in a method similar to the binder in the game: http://www.pennydellpuzzles.com/upload/documents/How%20to%20Solve%20Logic%20Problems.pdf

Thank you CBSection31. I'll try attacking that puzzle again. Are you playing the game, by the way? And if you are, did you happen to save it at the completion of that puzzle, just in case I need a saved game from you, if you would be so gracious to send me one.

Thanks again,
FJT

Hi FJT,

I actually made the game! If you send me your saved game, I'll be happy to bypass the puzzle for you.

I don't have a save game FJT but I can give you the answer to the puzzle if you really get stuck.
That might be preferable - a save game might have solved other things you haven't yet done.

Hi flotsam. That would be great. I'll look forward to receiving it from you. Also, did you happen to solve that "You must have hope" puzzle. I got almost all the way through it, but the vowel commands and the way it was phrased kind of threw me. Is there a logical saying at the end of this?

Thanks again,
FJT

Yes, there should be a logical saying.

Wow, CBSection31 , you really made a great game, but I must say, very challenging indeed!!

It definitely is challenging, I admit.

I wanted to make a game that was close in style (and difficulty) to games from the early and mid-90s, like Myst and The 7th Guest.

Don't hesitate to ask if you need more help!

Thanks, Chris and flotsam.

Have fun, FJT.

Yes CBSection31, I remember Myst very well. That's how I lost all my hair (just kidding). You have certainly matched that game in difficulty. And I have much less hair now than I did in the '90's.

FJT, there is an easy way round this puzzle - there is a knobby looking thing about half way down the panel on the left side before you enter the close up of the puzzle. Click that and the puzzle is bypassed.
Given you are watching CB, what made you decide which puzzles you could bypass and which you couldn't??

I don't know whether CBSection31 will allow it, or even be upset, if so please ignore the following.

There uis a walkthrough of the demo **ONLY**which happens to contain the full solution of that very difficult puzzle.
Just the solution but not the extended logic behind the solution.


P.S.
In possible apology to the Developer:
As he is aeware, and with his permission I understand,the Demo walkthrough was posted well before any mention was made of an official walkthrough-guide of the whole game - in fact it wasposted and open to everybody since the full game had not been finished or released.

If the gamers need help, they can post and Chris or others that played the game can help.

Thanx MaG.

It might be a bit difficult to reproduce the solution since I think that it's a bit complicated.
But I imagine that it can be explained by the Developer or somebody else - as suggested.

flotsom - Originally, that slider puzzle was supposed to be a lot more difficult. In addition to sliding the pieces, the pieces also had to be rotated. Essentially, the original point was to make a puzzle that was nearly impossible to solve, and so the solution was to discover that you can bypass the puzzle.

Unfortunately, the rotating part of the puzzle would simply not work with Windows 7, so I had to disable rotation.

In other words, the whole point of that puzzle was that you were supposed to figure out you aren't meant to solve it!

I decided to include bypasses on a few of the other puzzles because of their difficulty level.

harhan3 - No worries! Len had my permission to write that demo walkthrough. I don't mind you posting it at all!
