Graphic novel time! That's where I'm off to now
EDIT: I took out the first half of the post because I realised I was talking about a completely different character to what was mentioned And man - what a graphic novel! That was even better than I had imagined. Such great background material. Tetelo is scary But an interesting take on the slavery of African's in relation to Tetelo's father. Is their actual myth that suggests this kind of thing anywhere in voodoo history?

Finished day 6 already!
Firstly, thank you so much for your posts introducing each day Andrea which are interesting and really get me in the mood to crack on! It's really interesting and useful to have the tie in information between game and novel, as whilst I have read the novel it was a fair while ago. Day 6 is a great day, with some pretty tough puzzles Spoiler:but still remaining mostly logical and clear and always driving the story on, not just incidental obstacles that distract attention away from the story. Gabriel is getting deeper and deeper into this as every day goes by and, as Andrea had said, he is beginning to take responsibility for "the sins of the fathers". The way this comes together with his feelings for Malia and the previous Gunter/Tetelo relationship is really a masterstroke. But I'm getting a little ahead of myself here! Something I noticed about getting into Moseley's Office Spoiler: |

Intense, this issue is a known one, probably related to a speed problem occurring on modern machines.

Hmmm, that's strange as I am playing on a modern machine, didn't change the speed and was able to get past while he was outside! I suppose when I have played it before I had changed the speed all the way up which meant I couldn't?
I'm just confusing myself now! |

Finally, I've finished the day 6 with 214 points. I don't remember now if there's optional points, or we are going to finish it with all 342?

Huh. I never knew that you could wait for Frick to fall asleep. How long does it take usually?
Either way, I've never had any problems with that part, both using the Windows Installer and DOSBox. I find it strange how officer Franks doesn't see Gabriel through the window.

Starting day 6 right now. And it starts off good I know it scared the hell out of me the first time I played it, so much that I did what I usually do when all of a sudden something creepy happens: I look away. So in my first playthrough I never actually saw what was lying on the floor because the inset had already gone by the time I got over the shock and looked properly again

Maybe they are just too busy buying beignets?
Anyway, just finished day 6, and still love it. All the puzzles in this day make sense and are perfectly integrated. I just love Spoiler: Then the second part.... Spoiler: Also love how this day reveals even more of the mystery, and yet keeps on creating more questions.

The Day 6 timer issue is fixed with both Endroz's Windows installer as well as my DOSBox installer. In fact the DOSBox solution doubly fixes it with a patch by NewRisingSun and by the use of DOSBox itself.

Yeah I definately screwed something up here with the way I installed it. I was playing Dosbox with no other installers or patches, and that bloody Frick went out and in before I had a chance to even move the mouse
Even the other option, waiting for him to Spoiler:lasted but a second, and took me many many MANY attempts before I found the half-second window of opportunity. All the comic-style video clips seem slightly sped up too - I don't think I've ever had a playthrough of the game without it being this way, unfortunately. Next time I'll look into this patch...

I actually get slowdown while playing the game with Dosbox. Not my computers fault, that's for sure.

Bad idea and totally not needed. You can set the speed of DOSBox through the config file. You can even get speeds as slow as that of an 8086. Besides, the DOSBox installer applies a patch for the speed issues for GK1.

I installed with dosbox AND tried to bring the speed waaaay down (ctrl-f11, slow down emulation) but it still seemed to go fast. I'm sure there's something I've done wrong or overlooked
