hi, how do i use an item from inventory? robert.

Hi Robert, this is according to MaG's walkthrough:

specifically, how do i use the electrical cable on the suitcase? robert.

Best to examine the suitcase first.
Then take the cable from inventory (if it is there) and then click it on the suitcase in the rubble.

hi Mag, how can you tell you have combined batteries with keyboard? robert.

Hi Robert, if the batteries are no longer in your inventory after having combined them with the keyboard, then I imagine you can assume that you did this correctly.

hi Marian, the batteries are still in inventory therefore i must be doing something wrong. robert.

Robert,

Marian posted how to combine items: Items can be combined by selecting an item, take out of the inventory bar and clicking it on another item in the inventory bar

So try this:
- Click-hold batteries in inventory.
- While holding move batteries out of inventory.
- Then go back in inventory bar.
- Click batteries on the keyboard.

hi Mag, how do you recover from a mistake you have made during this game? 1. i couldn't combine the box cutter/aluminum can 2. i have found myself close to the start. i don't want to restart the game. i think i hit the star icon in error. robert.

According to MaG's walkthrough:



Can you click on the Star and find a scene that represents an area close to where you were in the game before, and load that scene?

hi Marian, can the autosave feature be turned off? all errors are saved too and i'd like to continue with a clean sheet. robert.

I don't think the autosaved feature can be turned off. If I recall correctly, it autosaves at start of chapters. It is a feature that will help you if you forget or need to replay.
If you really want to remove them:
- check if there is a "delete" feature on that saved game.
- manually delete the file in the saved game folder. I cannot remember where the folder is located at the moment.

hi Mag, i have the iron bar in inventory and i'm supposed to pry open the train door with it but it won't work as the door is already open!! what do i do to close it? robert.

If the train door is already open - then enter and continue. HAve fun.

hi Mag, THANKS. Extractor fan. - i have messed the game up so how do i get back to the word 'ALCHEMY'? robert.

Do you have a saved game close to that and replay from there?

hi Mag. Find the second word. how do i open the cover of the safe to use the sharpened letter opener on the back of Dore's sketch? robert.

Hi robert, have you switched on the Jacuzzi and used the swim goggles when it's running to see if you find anything of interest?

hi Marian, i'm perplexed! have you got the correct reply? what does that have to do with the Dore sketch? am i missing something? robert.

Sorry, robert - I think I may have been confused about where you were exactly in the game. Let me take a look at the walkthrough again and see if I can get some info for you.

hi Marian, thanks. awaiting your response, robert.

Did you try using the fountain pen on the back of the painting that is covering the safe?

If I remember correctly - you click on that painting left of the bathroom door and see a safe.
You cannot open it until you get a key.

To get the key: you have to get an envelope from the desk clerk.
To get the envelope: you have to give him 2 code words.
To get the 2 code words:
- you have to work to get steam and read a word on the bathroom mirror.
- you have to use a cutout paper on Eiffel tower.
Then you get the envelope and get some words that you need to know the meaning of.
- you do this by calling Henry.
- Henry gives info that you can use to deduce the location of a hiding place.
- the hiding place has the key that opens the safe.

Thank you for your help, MaG.

I hope that gets you moving again, Robert.

hi mag, how do i get the passwords? i think 1 is ALCHEMY. i can't get the other. robert.
