Hi, I picked this crazy game up a couple of weeks ago and started playing yesterday. I think I'm stuck trying to scratch Mr Johnson's car. Any hints or tips for me?

So far I killed him two times and then got the electric chair and he killed me once. I've also been shot and blew the town up a few times. On that note I'd also like to ask if you know whether saved games can be written over because I'm sure to run out of save spaces.

I'm not sure if you can overwrite saves in this game or not, but I suspect that you probably can; I can't think of any game I have ever played where I was unable to do this. Maybe another player can tell you for sure.

You should be trying to scratch the car at night rather than during the day.

I don't want to give spoilers so I am trying to keep this vague. Have you figured out what you use to scratch the car? Have you gotten into the garage?

You can also make a new folder, label it with description and then copy - paste your old saves in there to preserve it if needed. You can then overwrite the old ones. You can copy back those saved games to original place if needed. luck

Okay, thanks to both of you regarding the saves.

Marian, at this point I was thinking I'd use a key to scratch the car. I'm not really getting very far and can't get to Tuesday night. Monday night came and went without me being able to do anything.

I've been getting myself killed a lot, sometimes on purpose, and going back in trying different things. It's gotten to where I'm not sure what's been done at certain saves. I think I am going to start again at the beginning of Tuesday and see what happens. There is really only one big thing that I can think of that I'll have to re-do, everything else has just been trial and error (as far as I can tell anyway).

At this point, I appreciate the vagueness.

I'm sure I'll be back!

Well, I've been playing all day. Replaying doing things differently. I found a couple of different things but nothing that is moving me forward.

I don't know if there is any vague guidance you can give or if I should just take a look at the walkthrough.

Thanks for trying to help me!

I'll be more specific and yet still vague. wink

According to the walkthrough I am looking at, scratching the car occurs on day 2 at night. The walkthrough first has you going to the cemetery at night, watching something, then doing some talking, and then picking up an item. Then you move on to Johnson's residence and do a few things, get into the garage, do a few things, and then scratching the car.

Ok Marian. If I can find my way into the night, I'll be alright!

Thanks. I'll let you know. Back to work tomorrow so not sure how much I'll be able to play. Going back to it now for awhile though.

Hi Marian,

Just letting you know that last night I finally made it into Wednesday. There were some items I had not found and that was why I couldn't progress.

Stand by and Thanks!

Still stuck in Wednesday. I'm sure I know what I need; don't know how to get it.

Well, I can always take a look at the walkthrough and give you one of my vague rambles, if needed. Good luck. smile

There's stuff you accomplish in the morning on day 3 and also stuff you accomplish at night. You need to talk to several people during the day including mom, Hank, Edna, Mr. Pottsdam, Johnson, and Pat. Your main goals are to save Karin and to find tools for breaking into the fire station. At different points, you are going to need to go to the cemetery, the diner, and the general store, among other places.

What I just said here probably won't be any help at all, so let me know if you want me to get more specific in terms of the initial steps/actions you need to perform.

Thanks Marian. Didn't get around to playing tonight but hopefully tomorrow I can.

Seems to me I did all of the above except I don't know who Pat is.

I will let you know!

Hi Marian. I guess you better get a little more specific. I just can't get anything else. Talked to all those people and been to all those places. Found and returned the girl, bought some stuff at the store. Played off one save several different ways, different conversations, same results.

I'm assuming I need meat but cannot figure out how to get it. Maybe my subconscious just does not want that particular meat!

I'll give you some steps for after you have returned the girl and then maybe we can see what you are missing.

Click to reveal..
Bring her to her mom. Receive the reward money. Ask Pottsman about it. He'll keep denying it. Go to the school. Break the fire alarm. It should attract the fireman's attention. Go to the fire station. Get the fire axe and the ladder from the garage. Go back to your house. Use the dolly with the shelves. Hey, it's an alarm button. Turn off the alarm.
Go out. Use the phillips screwdriver with the security bar at the window. Enter
the room. Talk to your father. He'll sign up the meat slip.

Hi Marian,

I only looked at it up til the part about the firemen. I had broke that alarm at one point and nothing happened so I am going to try that again and go from there. If I can get that to happen I'll keep going until I get stuck again before I finish reading what you wrote for me.

I will update you.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I didn't get very far. When I broke the alarm still nothing happened but I went to the firehouse and the truck was gone. I then proceeded to get myself mauled to death. When I went back in and broke the alarm again, this time I got the truck and sirens and I managed to stay alive but I'm not seeing anything in that sarcophagus so I'm right back at square one.

Too tired to play anymore now since I'm not getting anywhere so I hope tomorrow I'll be able to move forward.

The fact that I haven't just gone straight for the answers means it's a good game (to me) but I am getting tired of just wandering now. I showed my brother some of the game but not the meat house. He'd probably make me feel guilty for playing. We are both huge cat lovers.

Well Marian, I did have to look a little bit more at your spoiler but not quite at all of it. I just keep missing some hot spots. Anyway, I have now completed the part through the fires and am waiting for something from the Order.

I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.

Thanks.

Hi,

I think I'm stuck again. In the lodge there's a room with 3 doors leading to a room with a fireplace and bear rug, the wardrobe guy, and a room with 2 corpses. The 2 corpse room leads to the kitchen on one side and the bar on the other. The bar leads to a fountain and a head chomping plant.

I've gotten into the cash register and had my clothes cleaned. I have the following items in inventory: Harvest blade, sandwich, glass, 2 chunks of meat, bar key, and $200. Can't seem to do anything with the plant or wardrobe guy with this stuff. Probably missing a hot spot again, I don't know.

As usual, as little answer as you can give would be appreciated.

Thanks.
