I do wonder why everything you picked up the first time magically restores itself when you revisit the scene. The crook goes into the inventory as a “grappling hook.” I’m sure that’s not an officially sanctioned use for the heqa, but in this situation a little improvisation is acceptable.Īnd now we’re back at the box office HOG: We still need something to loosen it-hey, didn’t Evelina say this embalming stuff was grease? Hey, there’s also this Egyptian sarcophagus with the crook. …and get, appropriately enough, a tragedy mask in return. However, while we’re walking back, we can give Hamlet his skull… I never noticed it until now, but with the candles lit and the masks surrounding it, the doorway to Christine’s room has almost the air of a shrine. The other two objectives currently available are the furnace room (getting the sheet music for the stand, no doubt) and the costumer’s hallway: Thankfully the rooms load quickly on my computer, so this isn’t too tedious. Probably the only real gameplay drawback in this is that you can’t use the map to navigate instantly between rooms-you have to “walk” the entire length between where you are and where you want to go. I told you there would be a lot of backtracking in this section.

As in aaaaaaall the way back in the introductory level. So yeah, the exclamation point on the bottom left? That’s the foyer. So let’s check our map and see what objectives are open now: So, enough chat, here we go!Įrik departs with another very un-veiled threat on Raoul’s life, leaving behind a record (“Songs to Terrorize Your Ex-Girlfriend’s Daughter By,” I think). It’s probably not the most efficient way of going about things and not recommended if you’re doing a speed run, but that’s how it worked out for the purposes of the game.

Eventually I decided to devote this first part into getting into Christine’s dressing room and the crypt (including getting the rose), and we’ll cover gathering the Plot Coupons for the final puzzle and the controversial conclusion in the next segment.

But this section involves a lot of revisiting places we’ve been already (though there will be new stuff as well) and not necessarily in any particular order-you have to examine some things or pick up others in order to unlock some of the hidden object games, so there can be a lot of backtracking and re-tracking involved. Up until now, the game has had a fairly straightforward progression: go to a level, do all the tasks on that level, get access to the next level. I thought a lot about how I wanted to go through this next part.
