I have just started playing and I am stuck already How do I force the gate open,.
I mean, I have got the machete, I press the E button, and the machete goes in the chain, tap the mouse button a couple of times, then the mouse icon turns red and the machete is withdrawn, with the gate still locked.. is there some way to extend that time limit or to cancel it altogether..

drongo,

I will move you to Action forum. I believe this is an action game.

Hopefully someone can help you there you.

Thanks MaG

Drongo, I haven't played this. I checked a couple of walkthroughs but they just say to open the gate with the machete. I looked for a cheat but did not find one. Will keep looking and let you know if I find out.

drongo,
have you checked this WT , I don't know if it has the answer in this case but they tend to be very helpful.
