grrrr... trying to get into the music store, all I need is a nail, which is not a special quest. used up 3 hints already. it keeps showing a different spot on the window and no matter where on the window (even the letters) I click, I get the message "the store is closed!" can anyone help me without me going thru the trouble to create a photobucket thingy? PLEASE??!?! Pretty Please?
Thx!!

OY fugedaboutit (I just got the store to turn on its lights)

Glad you got it!

I am loving this game ..

This is a great game. Thanks BFG.

I am in Chapter 7,in cabin 12. I need a bucket of water to put the fire out in order to complete this last task of the chapter. My problem is that the kitchen where the water is cannot be accessed. It has a check mark on the map. So how do I either start chapter 7 over or get back into the kitchen to get the water? There doesn't appear to be an option to go back to a closed site. Thank you for any help you can be. Great game and would not like to have to start all over again.

I need to find a mouse hole and a triangle in Cabin 7. Any help?

Tammy64 look at the bottom near the right side of the door and you should see a small brown hole.

Thanks Cherie. Any ideas as to where the fly is in the luggage room? That's the last item I need to find and I've been looking for hourse.

I found it.

Tammy, I glad you got it.

Still so jealous here reading all of your rave reviews of the game. I heard from BFG yesterday and sent info back to them today.The weird thing is that games I downloaded just before and just after The Serpent of Isis are fine.LOL!!

Cherie, did you get past your problem spot?

Trying to find the paperclip in Karell's taxi - Chapter 6. Any suggestions?

Well, I found that one too.
The last item I can't find is the letter A inside the Magician's.

I am stuck in Chapter 1 - that's right, Chapter 1. I can't haven't even got on the train!

I didn't have any problem at all in the hotel room or the cupboard but, quite seriously, I have re-started the entire game FOUR times to get past the ticket buying station and still no success.

(This, mind you, despite playing on untimed mode, which can no longer punish you for unlimited clicking once all your hints are gone!)

One time I had all the numbers so I had access to the ticket in the safe, but STILL couldn't find all the items! And guess what? Ticket or no, unless you find everything, it still won't let you move on!

Seriously, this game is SO super dark at points and some of the items are (apparently!) so well-hidden, how on earth are you all finding these things?

And on another, but for me, related, subject, does the music ever change? Music really adds a lot to a game for me, but I am really, really, REALLY sick of listening to the same music over and over and over again ...

I have a headache!

There are some really tough dark spots in this game; I agree. I haven't finished the game yet because after struggling to see items when playing the game during the day, I tried playing it at night when there was no glare on my monitor, and this has made a world of difference; I now see items on the screen that I couldn't see during the daytime. So, being as I only play the game at night, I'm not finished yet. This is kind of a crummy compromise, but I do like the game enough that I will persist (in spite of the fact that I have to play a different game during the day--not a hardship, just a little annoying because I'd rather be playing Serpent of Isis and stick to one game at a time).

GPM, have you tried adjusting the gamma on your video card? I just finished that part of the game and everything was bright enough and I am playing next to a large window with the sun shining in.

Thanks Pokey, I was just going to suggest that also.

Well, I finished the game and couldn't get enough of it. It was perfect for me. I haven't been stuck even once, didn't use many hints, had 34 hints left at the end and didn't skip any puzzles. This game just hit my spot. I liked it so much, that didn't want to give up and use the hints, so was very patient to look for the most difficult objects. I could see pretty well even in the dark areas. This game is awesome!

I'm just past the maze and in the Gardens... it's a very dark scene and I found everything EXCEPT a handbag... anyone know where it is? The walkthrough doesn't show it. I'm out of hints--- oops... found a hint. Got it! I was looking for a purse-like object...duhhhhhh

I am enjoying the game immensely but I really don't like these dark scenes... I have to get my nose right up to the screen to find things. If the rest of the game wasn't so good I'd never put up with it.

Looney4Labs.......I never did get the problem resolved. It seems I have no way to re-enter an area that is checked off as finished...So I started the game from the beginning under another profile. That was a bumber but perhaps it will save someone else from doing the same thing I did. What I am doing this time is leaving one item un-found in each area then at the last I go back to each area and clean up the last items. That gives me the option of doing anything that might come up later. I hope it works out I haven't caught up with myself yet.

Thank you for asking.

Well, I made some adjustments to my brightness and contrast, and there's a decided improvement in graphics quality. Still not as good as it could be, but I suspect I need to invest in a better monitor!

One of the things that I REALLY like about this game is that, for me, the puzzles are just right--just challenging enough that I don't have to tax my brain overmuch, but not extremely easy either. For me, the puzzles are just the right fit.

The slot machine puzzle was lots of fun.

Marian, you will get a much better effect by adjusting the gamma. It will not give you the washed out colors you get by increasing brightness.

This looks like a really good game.

Thanks, Pokey; yes, adjusting the gamma was very helpful, and I will remember that in future!

I just finished this game untimed and it was a ton of fun. For once I didn't skip a puzzle. Hope the sequel comes out soon .

Cherie, that sounds like a good strategy. Thanks for sharing. Let us know if it continues to work well

Ramona

Ya'll make me want to play

yikes! what an exciting lead-in to the sequel. When is it coming, BFGuy?

Guess I'll have to start again and play from the beginning while I'm waiting ... going to try adjusting the gamma like some one earlier on suggested
