I haven't played the game myself, so I would suggest you check out a written walkthrough and a video walkthrough that can probably help answer your questions.

There is a video walkthrough for the game here.

There is also a written walkthrough here.

By the way, it sounds like the group of carnival masked people occurs in an intro or something like that. That is the way it seems to me from reading the walkthrough.

Follow the walkthrough step by step and you should be fine.

What Marian said of course. So, if you have talked to the director, Claire, and then the director again, go back to the workshop and start looking around to see what you can find. That's according to the walkthrough.

You are early enough in the game that you can restart it to see that introduction if you think it will help. You can save your game where you are and just restart to watch it and then either continue on in that new game or load up the saved game if you don't want to repeat any conversations over.

And don't forget to check the notebook at the top of the screen. It will be helpful!

Thank you, oldbroad! It's so much better when someone who has actually played the game can help. Otherwise, deleterman, all those of who haven't played it can do is refer you to the walkthrough!

Yes, it would be nice if the moderators of this forum had omniscient powers, but unfortunately we don't. grin

Well, I did play the game but don't remember a whole lot of it. I don't think I liked it too much though. What I mentioned above is just what is in the walkthrough. smile

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 05/16/21 10:44 PM

All I can do is refer you to the walkthrough as I haven't played the game. So, please check the walkthrough and see what it says! I've suggested before that you print off the walkthrough and just check off each step as you finish it to make sure you haven't missed something.

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 05/16/21 11:14 PM

You can also check out the video walkthrough that I linked to above. It sounds like you are moving along in the game.

Posted By: oldbroad

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 05/22/21 12:08 AM

Did you do this?

Jupiter: Go down to Exhibition hall. Look up at the ceiling-vault.

Click on vault and see the planets. Jupiter is the 5th planet from the sun.

Digit Claire knows: See that Claire is not here. Exit to courtyard via the bottom screen.

Talk to Claire by the well. Learn that the second of March is their day

that does that do ? please let me know ok.
Posted By: oldbroad

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 05/22/21 12:43 AM

It is what the walkthrough says to do so I'm assuming it triggers the clue so you can enter the 5 and 2. I cannot actually remember so this is just off the top of my head. Give it a try and see if it works or not.

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 05/22/21 06:49 PM

No problem, deleterman! We're always happy to help... but since all we are doing is referring to the walkthrough for you, you will save a lot of time by doing it yourself first!

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 05/23/21 12:04 AM

thanks , now at the part where i need to combine the map pieces , can't find my tweezers ,that do i have to do now ? please let me know ok. thanks for your patience with me . send help soon ok.
Posted By: Marian

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 05/23/21 12:44 AM

Looking at the walkthrough, here is the first mention of the tweezers:

Quote
Go back to workshop.

Now that Claire mentioned about the Dictaphone, search Marcel's desk at the workshop.

Open the drawer and take the Dictaphone and tweezers.

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 05/23/21 05:26 PM

thanks . i go back and try that.
Posted By: deleterman

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 05/23/21 11:14 PM

i did do that , now looking down at the chest how do i get the pistol with the ramrod ? looks like i messed up some where , how do i get back on the right path ? please let me know what to do now ok .
Posted By: oldbroad

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 05/23/21 11:28 PM

Did you open the chest? Are you in close up view? Did you then click on it?

There doesn't seem to be any trick to it. The walkthrough just says:

" Combination: After getting the clues and the numbers associated with the clues, enter from left to right: 8 5 2. Click on empty space on the dial to allow the arrow to move to the correct number.

Place the correct number inside the square. Hear a click. Click on chest while in close up.

Take the pistol with ramrod and the pistol spanner. "

As always, just follow the walkthrough. Thank you for posting from the walkthrough, oldbroad! Hopefully that will get deleterman through this part.

thanks so how do i get the the pistol with ramrod and pistol spanner ? looks like i messed up some place how do i get back on track ? please send help soon.
Posted By: Draclvr

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 05/24/21 03:06 AM

All we can do is refer you to the walkthrough. Are you able to access it yourself to go through the steps leading up to this point?
Posted By: oldbroad

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 05/24/21 03:42 AM

It sounds like you just click on it. Maybe the video walkthrough that Marian linked to above would help?
Posted By: Draclvr

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 05/24/21 04:35 AM

Oh, good idea with that video walkthrough too. They have saved my bacon several times!
Posted By: deleterman

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 05/24/21 05:06 PM

thanks , is that going to get me pistol with ramrod and the pistol spanner ? i have a save just befor that , will that help me ? please let me know ok .
Posted By: Draclvr

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 05/24/21 05:09 PM

What does the walkthrough say? That's all we have to go on, deleterman!
Posted By: deleterman

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 05/24/21 05:42 PM

yikes , still can't get the pistol with ramrod and the pistol spanner that is what is holding me up ! no matter what i do can not get them , please help me get them .....
Posted By: oldbroad

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 05/24/21 06:21 PM

I can only refer you back to what I wrote earlier. If you've opened the chest in close up view it seems you should be able to click on the pistol with ramrod and the spanner to pick them up. Other than going into the game to see if there is something missing from the walktrhough (which I highly doubt), I don't know what else to tell you. Sorry.

You can also try watching a video walkthrough of the game. Here is the page listing all of the videos. You will need to figure out which one corresponds to where you are in the game. Watching this should help you figure out how to get past the part where you are stuck.
Posted By: oldbroad

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 05/24/21 07:47 PM

Watch Part 3 "Opening the Chest" (from the link Marian sent above). It shows you exactly what to do right at the beginning. You can see where to place your hand to click and pick up.

thanks , let me know if i am on the right track - i have the tweezer, dictaphone with memory card . - rope- wire - container with binder . now where do i need to go ?
Posted By: oldbroad

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 05/27/21 12:23 AM

Did you get the pistol with ramrod and pistol spanner? There is SO much to be done in this game and lots of it can be done in different order so you really need to follow the walkthrough as much as possible.
Posted By: deleterman

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 05/27/21 12:59 AM

no did not get pistol with ramrod and pistol spanner , just pistol ! or just a photo of it. i will go back at my last save and go from there . thanks for your help on this game.
Posted By: deleterman

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 06/06/21 11:31 PM

thanks i did get in to the secret compartment , does that mean that the chest is open ? and i can get the pistol with ramrod and the pistol spanner ? going nuts please let me know ok.
Posted By: Marian

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 06/06/21 11:34 PM

Have you followed these steps of the walkthrough:

Quote
Secret compartment: Look close at chest side.

See a hole at bottom center of chest front. Use the pistol spanner on the hole. The base popped out a bit. Click on it and Sylvie says something blocking it.

See a hole at bottom left corner of the left side of the chest.

In inventory, look close at pistol with ramrod. Click on the pistol at close up and see that the ramrod separates from pistol.

Use ramrod on the hole at left corner of the left side of chest.

Pull the front secret compartment and take the old manuscript.

yikes , i got in to the secret compartment does that mean that i can get in to the chest to get the pistol with ramrod and the pistol spanner ? i never heard a click ! is something wrong ? please let me know what i need to do now ok.
Posted By: Marian

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 06/07/21 06:12 PM

When you follow the steps above that I posted, at what point are you unable to progress?
Posted By: deleterman

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 06/08/21 08:00 PM

can't take the pistol with ramrod and the pistol spanner , i did get in to the secret compartment . does that help me or not ? please let me know if this is good or not ok and what should i do now to get going ? ok,,
Posted By: Marian

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 06/08/21 08:26 PM

I would suggest that you look at the walkthrough steps that lead up to this section to see if you have missed doing something along the way.

Also, you could look at a YouTube video walkthrough for the game. I posted the link to it after your original post in this thread.
Posted By: oldbroad

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 06/08/21 08:27 PM

I really don't know deleterman but if you followed the steps that Marian posted above and you say you got in to the secret compartment, it sounds like you already picked up the ramrod and pistol spanner as you had to use it to get into the secret compartment. duh

I think you should move on to a different area of the game and see what happens. Use the walkthrough to see what's next after opening the secret compartment.

Posted By: oldbroad

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 06/18/21 01:59 AM

Did you find the dictaphone earlier? The dictaphone and tweezers are in a drawer in Marcel's desk in the workshop. I can't tell you how to get back to the workshop so I hope you can figure that out.
Posted By: deleterman

Re: chronicles of mystery , the tree of life - 06/18/21 05:39 PM

yes i did find the dictaphone not hard to get back to the workshop, just hope i can get tweezer .....thanks for the info.
