Great gift, gave me something to do for twenty minutes this Christmas eve. Of course...

Spoiler:
The ending was a total cop out! I was waiting for the screen to boot up to Samorost or something, hehe.


Still though, thanks for the gift. Happy Holidays everyone!

You'll kick yourself when you get it.

BTW, there's a custom made ReadMe file that goes with the game, in case anyone's NOT used to AGS.

Oh c'mon, Karmillo! The tree is wilting, like any other plant. What does that mean, eh?

Well, now I myself am stuck. Can someone give me a hint about powering up the computer? Pleeeeez?

The game is somewhat non-linear. You can do some things in a different order.

As for hints, how about starting a thread in the hint forum? Seriously, there are only a couple puzzles IN the thing. Just asking about them is telling people a lot. If I weren't such a spaz at splitting threads, I'd do it. (Where's a mod when you need one?)

Okay, okay. I finally figured it all out. Sheesh, should have guessed right the first time, it was so bloody obvious!

Thank you so much, guys for all the work. It was lovely, best Christmas gift ever from any adventure gaming site!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Feels weird to offer hints for a game I partially wrote.

So I will just you all again and wish you a Merry Christmas. If anyone's still stuck tomorrow, then I'll offer some help.

Yes! fov and Jack, kudos to you for the 'bracing' humorous edge in the writing. I was snickering half the time.
