Official Walkthrough

written by  Trecision

Note: The two numbers within brackets after each action indicate the time increment and the game time when the action is successfully performed. The game is not timed. The time changes only after the player has either entered a certain area or performed a particular action within the game.

Most actions can be performed with both characters, but in this solution we have described the actions to take with Darrel or Victoria, to beat the game in the shortest time.

Darrel:

• It is 9:00 AM.
• Take the lift downstairs
• Go outside to the gardens, near the green house. The door to the gardens is located near Jude in the swimming pool area.
• The Greenhouse explodes (+20   9:20 AM)
• Go to look at the WELL and try to take the cover off (Raul comes to stop you)
• Take the PLASTIC BOTTLE Raul throws into the bin To get the plastic bottle: Left Click on the trash bin. Darrel should now be standing to the left of the bin and facing toward the well. Go into first person mode (spacebar), then use the down arrow key to see into the bin. If you can't see the bottle yet then lean forward (shift key + forward [or up] arrow key), and then use the down arrow key again. repeat this until you can see the bottle at the bottom of the bin. Right click on the bottle.

Victoria:

• Go to the swimming pool.
• Try to open the old wooden door. It's locked but Greta comes out (to enable the "Old Wing" conversation item)
• Talk to Jude about Carla Hoffman, and then about "Carla's private life".

It's a good idea to use this time to explore the Castle and grounds before anything more happens. Also all of the inhabitants should now be at the Castle, so find each one and talk to them about all available subjects so that you can begin to get an idea of what is going on. You get basically the same information using both Darrel and Victoria, but may pick up something additional using one or the other on certain subjects (they'll usually tell you if the other one should ask the question). At this time we found the Administrator Anderson in his office on the 2nd floor (up the stairs from the kitchen), his wife Jude by the swimming pool, the old Caretaker Henry in his house on the garden grounds, Raul the Gardener working near the Mausoleum in the garden, the Supervisor Greta up the stairs from Anderson's office area in the Lounge, Carla the maid on the 4th Floor, and Stephen the Cook in the kitchen. Note that new subject lines will be added to talk about as the game progresses (they'll appear in white if you haven't talked about them with that character), so you will want to keep checking. Also note that scroll arrows will appear to the right if there are more subjects to talk about than can fit in the subject box. Also make sure you periodically read the Log in your PDA (especially after learning something new or something unusual happening) because it may give a clue as to what to do next.
