THE STORY:

What are friends for? That's precisely why you decide to help out a friend
who's in way over his head. But you never expected this...

Your friend Alex goes missing, a trail of notes and clues left behind,
pointing to his possible whereabouts. All the while, you uncover an artifact so
powerful you wish you had never laid eyes on it, and you learn of an ancient
order of monks with ties to it. And the key to all three lies in -- the Oracle.

How do you get the rubber stopper?

eugene · 07-03-2006, 04:47 PM

It's inside the hut, inside one of the hanging baskets.

Dannyyou · 07-03-2006, 04:53 PM

.

eugene · 07-04-2006, 02:39 AM

Walk to the post office and click on the door. The dog will growl at you. Proceed back to the park (behind the mailboxes) and pick up the dog toy. Lastly, throw the dog toy on the ramp next to the dog. The coast is clear.

There is a hint thread for the game located here:

fajerkaos · 07-04-2006, 02:47 AM

yeah but thats the problem... cant find dog toy anywhere, maan.

its probably just me who is retarded, but still?

eugene · 07-04-2006, 02:56 AM

Enter the park through the gate visible behind the mailboxes. Once inside the park, you'll see something buried in the snow. Approach it, and you'll see it's the dog toy.

fajerkaos · 07-04-2006, 03:07 AM

ohh... you can open the gate? thanks!
EDIT: im so used with that it is some sort of lock on it, didnt even hit me this time that you might be able to open it.

Hmmm... i guess i was retarded, sigh...

eugene · 07-04-2006, 03:16 AM

Sometimes it's the easiest things that we miss when we play adventure games!

MadTricks · 07-04-2006, 03:17 PM

i have lost interest in couple a days
can anyone motivate me with that: how far ist the end?

Im after founding body, portals,and visited 2 portals...

eugene · 07-04-2006, 03:38 PM

You're right near the end. You just need the three stones, one from each portal.

MadTricks · 07-04-2006, 04:12 PM

ok...thx.
Ill try today..

mathall1 · 07-05-2006, 04:46 AM

I need help with this game plz.Ive gone through all the hints but im really stuck and its frustratin

Im at the begining iv thrown the dog the toy got the mailbox key from the post office.In the hints it says right click on keys which ive done but this is where im stuck.The description gives me house keys car keys and mail box (E7) thing is everytime i click the keys on any box it gives me message "keys not used properly or something" i cant even see E7 on any of the 6 or 7 mail boxes.Am i looking at the wrong place.Im at the bit just infront where i found the dogs toy.

eugene · 07-05-2006, 04:54 AM

I'm not sure if you're looking at the correct mailboxes. Your mailbox is located outside, infront of the park. Your actual box is E7, refering to the 5th large box from the left, and the 7th mail door on that box. When the cursor is over it, it'll say "my mailbox".

Goodluck!

mathall1 · 07-05-2006, 05:10 AM

Thx for that eugene not yet tried it due to being half way through a disk defrag.I ll give it a go when thats done.Good game to
