I am good & proper stuck

It's not an easy game - and sin addition, all speech is in Hungarian and the English subtitles flash by too rapidly for my very bad eyesight This does not make it any easier

I posted a comprehensive 'Help' S.O.S. on the 'Hints & Tips' forum – please access it !

But according to the paucity of views (and no reply as yet) it seems that not too many members access that section frequently ?!?

Perhaps this will reach a wider audience ?|?

At any rate – VERY MANY THANKS IN AVANCE FOR ANY ASSISTANCE !

[size= large]never played that game, sorry

[size= large]And yes i admit that i rarely visit the the hints & tips section, i usually only visit the first 2 sections and the off-topic forum 

Hi Len,

I read your message in Hints and Tips.

I remember having trouble at this section too. From what I remember, it was the only part of the game where I needed to use a walkthrough!

My problem in getting to day 3 was that I neglected to do something that I needed to do before completing the line puzzle. Did you find Yoomurjak's first message in the cellar already? All I can really suggest is going back through the walkthrough and checking that you have done everything.

Many thanks for taking the time & making the effort to reply, and so quickly. 

Bears out my assumption that not too many members access the "Hints & Tips" forum frequently !!!

Thanks a bundle !  

Before wring my 'Help-S.O.S.' I suspected the same problem & hence solution as you did above !!!

However I thought it might be something less ominous &/or that somebody could send me a savegame immediately after this game stopper !

However I think that you are right unfortunately since going back is a very unpleasant solution.

It is almost like a DEAD-END which is one of the worst bugs possible (after nearly 20 years of beta testing I have encountered MANY of those - and had them eliminated !!).

There is no way of knowing how far back I have to dig - there are well over a hundred locations and actions  to examine.

For all I know, I might have to return right to the begining of the game - several hours of (unpleasant) slog work

Hello Len,

this was indeed a hard part of the game. There are many pre-requisites for the solution to trigger, including looking at objects in the antique shop and public library that do not otherwise appear to be interactive or of importance. So while I can not help you with what you have to do, I will be happy to send you a save game just after that particular puzzle is solved.

You can pm with an e-mail so I can send you the file. If you are uncomfortable doing that, I could try to upload it to a hosting service like rapidshare, but since I have never done something like that, it's a hassle I would rather avoid if possible.

I have already returned to TWO locations which seemed to be promising and did everything possible at then both in order to stumble on the missing item –  but this did not help in either case !.

Check your email Len, the save file must be in it

Many MANY  THANKS !
Not everyone is prepared to devote time, patience & energy to practically helping another player (and JA member)!!!

Thanks once again and best regards ---- Len.

Mr. Innocent

Not experienced or worldly;

One of the several dictionary definitions of INNOCENT is ""Not experienced or worldly; .

At least as far as games are concerned, the opposite applies to you !

As I thought :-

Your savegame could not have pin pointed the EXACT point in the game where it was needed,

I am almost 100% certain that my stuckness was due to some single small  action I had overlooked previously , out of VERY many !!!

I am now continuing the game which I would not possibly have been able to do without that save - other than starting again from the very beginning (which I would not have been prepared to do !

Once again (for the last time !) THANK YOU !!!

You are welcome, Len

I hope you will be able to go on with the game, the issue with the fast moving subtitles is not going to become any easier I'm afraid

Still, I enjoyed Yoomurjak's Ring, and  I hope you will to

Tjhere are a few what are known as "Memory-bugs" throughout the game (not serious)  !

Also some save-game glitches !

With regard to the latter, having only 8 save slots is a disadvantage – although by saving batches of saves I have collected about 80 saves from the first half of the game alone and hence have experienced these shortcomings !!
