Inferno,

Hi boomers! Regarding the front door bug, we're not sure what happened with it, but we're investigating what the problem is. In the meantime, if you can't open the front door, please download this patch:http://www.nucleosys.com/files/scratches-dc-patch.exe 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!   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.  inferno ======================================================== Eureka!!! Found me an Easter Egg I didn't see in the original.  Look in the  The music is indeed far more wicked than the original version -- really puts you on edge.  inferno Hi Inferno, I've been all over    and can't find the Easter egg.    Can you give me a hint to where it is, please.      Oh well ---- OK   In the Master bedroom --- go to the Bureau Dresser ---open the bottom drawer --- you will see 3 shirts --- examine them carefully and you will find it.

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.

 Still the Alternative ending escapes me. Hi Inferno!   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.     Have you had any luck finding your ending points? "Q"

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?   |  |  |

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.  "Q"   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

Ok Guys... I am 5 minutes into the game... Question...I hope this game is different then  the first...Hope I am not playing the same thing all over again... Thanks   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.  inferno

Hi All! 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. "Q"

 So far...the game is playing A-Ok for me.. 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.     "Q"
