The devs must be big fans of LSL because this game in many ways feels like a spiritual successor of sorts to that series.

It’s very hard to tell. According to Himalaya, they were unaware of FPFP when they designed this game. While I believe them, I also find it hard to believe. The lead designer did consult with Josh and review FPFP artwork.

The narrator is another thing entirely.

Somehow I don’t believe that. While Freedy Pharkas wasn’t the biggest Sierra hit, it did come out in 1993, Al Emmo originally in 2006. The people at Himalaya are such Sierra fans, that I doubt they would have missed the adventures of Frontier Pharmacist.

Because of other things I didn’t get to start Act 5 until this morning. Was worried I might miss the deadline. Didn’t need to. About 40 minutes later, maybe less, I was done. VERY short act.

Ready to start Act 6 when we get the go ahead.

I’m going to start Act 6 tomorrow, (Tuesday, my time,) and suggest we finish by Saturday. I’m not going to post screen shots or anything like that. That’s Diego’s turf. But I know he has some computer and scheduling difficulties, so I thought I would give Act 6 a jump start.

Sorry guys, private life got in the way. I’m surprised and thankful for your patience and having me still as a game leader! I’m catching up with the duty today, and expect the quiz very soon. You have a greenlight to start the:

ACT 6: Indian, a Stone, and the Last Town Raid

I’ll set the deadline on the fly, I think this chapter is longer than previous two ones, but I need to remind myself.

The biggest, and most time-consuming, problem with this act is finding the various locations, since none of them are currently on our map.

OK, let’s take a little break and test our Anozira knowledge and power of deduction!   Don’t sweat, it’s for fun only!

green
red

diving suit
biohazard suit
astronaut suit

3. On Bubba’s Barnyard sign, one of the letter is “mirrored”.

letter “B”
letter “N”
letter “D”

4. Only one of these names is an actual name seen at the cemetery tombstone:

Sierra
Ned Goldjumper

5. There’s a clock above the Anozira train station. Does it changes time?

Yes, it shows the actual time
Only when the Act changes
Never

This is the painting that can be found at:

Mayor’s house
Lou’s office
Hospitality House Room 3

7. http://picosong.com/WCGG/

With a prairie dog
With two indians on the cliff

8. “I have everything I need right here.” is a quote said by:

Lou Heifer

10. Kevin wears a badge that says:

Kevin’s

pink
red and white
he’s not wearing any underwear

I am just surprised at the overwhelming number of objects you can interact with. Even 2 bushes in two different screens will get different comments from the narrator.

Not to mention the cacti!! One of my favorite quotes comes from the narrator after inspecting (or “touching”) on of the cacti in the desert:

“You swear you’ll take an axe to these when the game’s over. There’s only so many cacti one man can take.”

I have played this game many times and never figured out where the chili sauce went to so please, if someone figures it out, let me know!

Like SoccerDude said, it disappears at the beginning of Act 3. It’s an interesting design choice (perhaps it was unintentional, and they had a use for the chili down the road, but never included that puzzle) that not every object in your inventory is necessarily “usable” in the traditional sense. I haven’t seen many games do this. (Monkey Island 1/2 had a few items like this, and it’s also often seen in games where you have money/shop and an option to buy several items where only one of them is the right one). Or it could be that the chilli is just a “red herring” to go along with the mustard.
