Fade - The complete walkthrough
>The Beginning
My name is Everett and I'd like to tell you my story. I'm thirty, I'm a married man, I have my own business. Everything is okay, but still... I can't get any sleep... Always the same story, always the same dream... Let me introduce my wife, Anne. She is very pretty and I love her very much! She means anything to me. As usually, she remembers me my pills (3) before she gets her shower. I am now alone in my room with a horrible alarm clock sound. I better turn it off. Now it is good time to search the room. There is a train ticket in my wife's jeans, I take it with me! There is also one hidden safe behind one picture, but I cannot open it now.
[go to CORRIDOR] What a lovely plant it is. Wait, there is something hidden under the plant's leafes - a key! Come to my pocket, now. There is also one picture reproduction of "The Isle of the Dead" on the wall by someone called Boecklin, I remember I watched it since my childhood. Very strange picture...
[go to LOUNGE] A huge room furnished, in a manner of speaking, with bargains found during numerous weekends. First of all, I look at the fireplace, there is one nice poker. I am sure I will need it soon. Enough now, I need some coffee soon.
[go to KITCHEN] Look, there is my honey, let's talk about the pills safe (1). Of course, how could I forgot, I wrote the code to my safe into my diary! Unfortunately, if I look in my diary, there are only some unreadable words, probably written backwards. Time to clean my teeth.
[go to BATHROOM] Looking in the mirror, I got an idea. What if I try to look at these unreadable words using the mirror? Good, now I know the code. Opening the safe should be very easy now.
[go to BEDROOM] Moving the middle picture I unveiled a secret chest. With the key and code, it is easy to open it and get my pills.
[go to CORRIDOR] Going outside the bedroom, I can hear a shower. I wish I have a shower with my wife, but the door is locked. I can only hear Anne reporting me some problem with bath's plughole (1). I try to find something. Stuff like that is usually stored in a toilet.
[go to TOILETS] How smart am I, there is a plunger. I am sure it will help. Aaargh, while picking up the plunger, I dropped my keys in the toilet bowl! I really don't want to put my hand in it, I better use the poker I took at the fireplace. Now I can bring the plunger to Anne.
[go to BATHROOM] She takes the plunger from me. Helping my wife I always feel better...
[go to HALL] Who the hell is calling me now? It is too early! I answer the phone. It is Félicienne from my shop telling me she already sent the file to me, I should have it in my mailbox. She asks me to complete it and remembers me my meeting with Mr. Belleville (3, 1). Okay, let's check my mailbox.
[go to GARDEN] Opening the mailbox, I notice there is really one yellow envelope in it. I take it and open it, there is an incomplete file. I hope I got some pictures in my bedroom, I should check it.
[go to BEDROOM] I hope I left it on the table. Flipping through the notebook, I find one foto required to complete the file. The last thing I have to do is to combine the incomplete file with the photo I found in the notebook. Now I can go to my work.
[go to CAR] Starting the engine, Anne asks me for a lift (1). Travelling to village Saint Jeoire takes a few minutes, it is enough time to talk to Anne a little (2, 2, 1, 2).
Village Saint Jeoire - Antique Shop
Welcome to Saint Jeoire, a small village where I have my little antique shop. Time is running so hurry to work.
[go to ANTIQUE SHOP] While enetering the shop doors some stranger asks me for a cigarette (1, 3). Inside the shop, my favourite assistant Félicienne is trying to change a broken bulb. She seems to be stressed a little. Tell me why, Felicienne (1, 2)? Of course, she needs my help, I must find something to stabilize her. As I can remember, there is always light turned off in the back room, the only place where a ledder can be found. I have to go to my office and turn it on.
[go to OFFICE] It is simple - open the electrical equipment box and switch the switch on.
[go to BACK ROOM] It is a light here already. Great, a nice stool is ready to help me.
[go to ANTIQUE SHOP] I used the ladder to save Félicienne, I'm happy I don't have to find another assistant. But now it is really time to start to work. I should get rid of her, I have to work in this room now. What should I do? Think! A cigarette! I have to light a cigarette... Even if I don't like it, the smell should make her go away. The problem is that I have no cigarette to smoke.
[go to OFFICE] Well, let's check my desk first. What a lovely surprise, a pack of cigarettes! I don't like cigarettes, but I smoke anyway. It's an excellent way to get rid of Félicienne. Well, it is time to test it.
[go to ANTIQUE SHOP] Félicienne is still here. One little cloud of smoke and she left! Nice, it's working! Now, back to work.
[go to OFFICE] Sit dow at your desk and work. Just a few seconds after, Félicienne is calling me that Mr. Belleville is here (1).
[go to ANTIQUE SHOP] Mr. Belleville is a very interesting man and my valuable customer. But we always talked by phone, today this is a very first personal meeting. What can he want? (1, 1, 1). No, I can see the white light.........
Paris - Hotel
There's nothing I hate more in the world than a phone call when I wake up. Ouch! I think I slept twelve hours in a row... I hear a phone ringing, why doesn't Anne answer the phone? Okay, I answer the phone (2). Great, I am in Paris now, is some unknown hotel. What am I doing here? I must find an answer. First of all, I must dress my clothes.
[go to RECEPTION] Receptionist is reading newspapers, I must disturb him and ask him several questions (3, 1). Good news, I can meet his coworker at the bar accross the street.
[go to CAFE] There are two customers sitting in front of the cafe. The first one looks nervous, I better leave him alone. The other guy in a white jacket looks better, I will talk to him (1). Nice guy and a beautiful morning, I sit down and try to order. Damn, I don't have my wallet with me, I must have left it in my room. I must go back to find it.
[go to RECEPTION] Great, the receptionist is not here, I can read the newspapers. Really bad news, police have not managed yet to arrest the serial killer who is still plaguing the 'Robertville sur Angeais' area. The murders all share the same horrible characteristic that has given rise to the killer's nickname of 'Salinger', which has come about following the discovery that all the victims were found without their heart, removed each time with surgical precision. Really horrible things happen! I better take the key of my room and go to find my wallet.
[go to CORRIDOR] The corridor, guarded by Cerberus in the guise of a chambermaid (1, 2, 3). Damn, this women will not pass me in. I must someone how to get rid of her.
[go to CAFE] Time to talk to the nervous guy (3, 1, 2). Thanks God, this guy wants to marry the chambermaid! I hope he will find her and I will be able to visit my room again.
[go to CORRIDOR] Cool, the chambermaid is no longer here. Now I can unlock the door and enter.
[go to BEDROOM] Home sweet home! Where could I hide my wallet? Here it is, I put it in the bed. Now I can get my pills and my first coffee at the bar.
[go to CAFE] Sit down and order the coffee. There's nothing like agood coffee to make you feel better. I really must take my pills now. Stupid me, I don't have them! I bet I left them in the bathroom of my hotel room.
[go to BATHROOM] Here they are, my pills on the sink.I will take them with me. Next I have to find a way out of here.
[go to CAFE] The guy in the white jacket is still sitting there. Maybe he can help me how to get out of here. I must ask him (2). Good news, I can find a metro station at each corner, let's go find one.
[go to STATION] What a nice station it is. My mather said that if I want to go by train, I need some ticket.
[go to DESK 3] I suppose I must ask an assistant for a ticket to Robertville sur Angeais (3, 1). Nice, really nice! She sent me at the end of another long queue in front of desk 6.
[go to DESK 6] After 37 minutes of waiting, I can finally ask assistant for the ticket (1, 1). Unbelievable! Their new computer system is down! Of course there is one possibility at the desk 8, but there is even longer queue...
[go to DESK 8] I am REALLY bored now. I want to get my ticket and I want it now (2, 2)! Finally, I have my ticket. I know it was not fair, but I really need it.
[go to TRAIN HALL] I love travelling by train. Unfortunately, I am too tired, I need some rest in my compartment.
[go to COMPARTMENT] I am in a very nice compartment with a very nice company. I like talking to a beautiful women (1, 2, 1, 1). To escape from a ticket inspector I went to the toilet. No, I can see the white light again.........
Back at home
Another weird awakening. I am in some bathroom, alone and hungry. After a short inspection, I relized there is nothing to do now.
[go to LIVING ROOM] I am at Jean's home. I must be on drugs. It is really his living room. What am I doing here? How did I manage to get here?? Is my memory still playing tricks??? Better I will ask him now because he is here. What, he thinks I have some serious troubles with my wife? I think I am drunk, I have to go out to get some fresh air.
[go to GARDEN] Walking to my house I noticed some strange symbol on my letterbox. What the hell this could mean?
[go to HALL] Home sweet home. But why is so dark in here? I guess the fuse must have blown... The worst of all, Anne is not here!
[go to BEDROOM] I remember my alarm clock is powered by a battery pack, I am sure I will need it soon. You know why? Because I got a battery-powered light on my table. Combining these two things, I got a mobile light. The only thing I need is a flat, stable surface to put it on.
[go to LIVING ROOM] It is too dark here to see something, I should place the light on the table. It is much better now. Examining a fireplace I found a key to my cellar!
[go to CELLAR DOOR] Unlock door takes only a few seconds. Now I can go further.
[go to CELLAR STAIRS] There is a circuit-breaker on the wall, but it is broken. I am sure fixing that little fuse might help. At least I think.
[go to JEAN'S FRONTDOOR] This is really strange, Jean is not at home. He left while I was drunk. I hope he left the key at the usuall place. Yes, it is in the right flower pot. Now I can get into the house.
[go to JEAN'S LIVING ROOM] It is getting even more strange - while searching through his house, I found one room without any furniture, the secons one is filled only with big crates with cigarettes (I borrowed one pack), a real mess in the kitchen... I am confused, but at least I can repair the fuse using an aluminium from the cigarette box. Now I will be able to turn all lights in my house on.
[go to CELLAR STAIRS] I put a repaired fuse back to its place and turn on the circuit-braker. Hope it will work for a few minutes. I need not to forget to replace this fuse soon or it could cause a fire.
[go to HALL] What a surprise, a phone is ringing! Yes? I can hear only a strange sound from the phone. What does it mean? Fortunately there is a light...
[go to BEDROOM] Hey, where is my favourite picture? I loved it!
[go to CORRIDOR] No, there is another painting lost! What is going on here? Anne's disappeared, my mouse is wide open to anyone, someone has painted grafitti on my letterbox and my globe, my phone is out of order, possibly tapped, a whole lot of things is missing... I have to find some clue so that the police can start an investigation. I have to find my camera first. Or I can go ask our neighbors.
[go to HOUSE V.] I am stunned! After I ring the doors, I was told I was violent on my wife! They wanted to call the police on me!!! Maybe it is a good idea to try someone else.
[go to XAVIER'S HOUSE] Locekd. I am completely out of luck.
[go to BUS STOP] What am I doing here? I don't think some bus will come until next morning. Look, there is some bag with a broken camera inside! I don't need a broken camera, but the film inside might be useful.
[go to VILLAGE CENTER] Saint Jeoire by night. What a relief...
[go to ANTIQUE SHOP] What happened here?? What a mess! What a lack of respect for art...
[go to BACK ROOM] Felicienne is breaking down in the back room. She is crying, what happened here? I better ask her (1, 2, 3). She described me shortly what did she do and gave me a camera with several shots of the mess in my shop.
[go to OFFICE] Searching the room I found a Tranquill2000 pills in the Felicienne's handbag. I better take it with me. Well, this is a really hard night, I suppose I need a drink.
[go to BAR] First of all, I talked to a barman (3). He told me that Xavier is not in the bar, he is back in the street. I must see him.
[go to STREET] Yes, he is here. Let's talk (3). Well, he didn't tell me anything new. At least I found a crowbar there, I feel I will need it soon.
[go to BAR] I want to make a little joke. I put Tranquill2000 into the barman's bottle of beer and he fall asleep. Now I can take the red bulb hanging in front of the bar.
[go to BAR ENTRANCE] Now I can safely inspect the lamps and take the red bulb.
[go to DARK ALLEY] Isn't that nice? I am standing in front of house of Astrid, an old friend of my wife. I knock the door and she invites me up (3, 1, 1). It was fast, she gave me a key from my wife's dairy and unveiled me some strange things from my future. Now I am back on street.
[go to DAIRY] Using the key Astrid gave me, unlocking the dairy's door is easy. There is a nice cash register, but it is locked, and I don't have a key. I must find it soon. Or I can use force, I got a nice crowbar with me. There is a small tape recorder inside, I hope Anne left some message for me. No, there is some conversation between Anne and other man recorded on it. This is useless, but maybe I can use this tape recorder to record a strange noice coming from my phone. Of course I cannot forget on making shots of strange marks on my letterbox and globe. I need to change the film in my camera first...
[go to GARDEN] I make one shot of the strange mark on my letterbox.
[go to HALL] Using a tape recorder on the phone records that strange sound. Now I can proof it!
[go to LIVING ROOM] I make one shot of the strange mark on my globe. Now I need to develop them.
[go to PHOTO LAB] First of all, I have to replace the red bulb. The second step is to develop all photos from both films. Great, I shoul go now to the police station, I got everything they would need.
[go to POLICE STATION] Let's go, this is a very important thing. I should tell them the whole story. Everything was fine until I played them the strange sound coming from my phone. All men get mad and started shooting! That is the last thing I remember before I lost my mind........
San Lazarro Hospital
Where am I now? I suppose I am in a park and I can see some stranger speakin to me. Unfortunately, I don't understand him (3). After the man's leaving, I inspected the fountain. There are four different statues around it, three of them have some astrological mark on their head. While walking through the park, I found one big building. Let's see what is inside.
[go to LOBBY] I heard something so I decided to check it. What? There is some receptionist telling me I am a patient! (1, 2, 3, 4) It looks bad, I just spoke to her a little louder and she called for some tough guy... Now, I am in a locked cell. There is nothing except millions of bugs! The only thing I can do is to sleep now... Aaaa, a room service is here. I am invited to have a brekfest in refectory.
[go to REFECTORY] Welcome to 'One Flew Over a Cuckoo's Nest'. Talking to the patients is worthless, all of them are crazy. Fortunately there is at least one guy who doesn't eat meat (1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1). After a small chat we were sent back to the park. Here I met Zampano, the italian tough guy. He told me several rules I have to respect - my clothes must remain completely clean, any spot will be punished, I can only access my room, refectory and the park, other places are prohibited, and finally I have to follow the doctor's treatment decisions, or they will force me to treat them. Well, this is a really nice guy...
[go to INFIRMERIE] There is a nurse in here, I will try to talk to him (3). He gave me a little flast to bring him my urine in it and sent me back to my cell. I think I have a better idea what to put in the flask - I will put all four bugs I found in it. And I think I know someone who could appreciate these bugs. Where could he be...
[go to CHAPEL ENTRANCE] Walking around the chapel there is one patient. I ask him for something (1, 3). The guy is mad. First of all, he is probably fascinated by a fire. Second, he told me he had hidden something in the park. Unfortunately he doesn't remember where and what it was. The only thing he remembers is one verse "Panting stars crying with spleen.".
[go to SHE-WOLF STATUE] Here he is, my old friend from refectory. What's up, boy? (1, 2, 2, 1). Great, he eats only insects. Good for him I got some in the bowl - enjoy! As a token of his appreciation he gave me... a denture! Thank you very much! Hope I will find some usage for it. Maybe I can try checking the library.
[go to LIBRARY] There are too many books, I should ask the librarian. Well, she knows in which book was it written, but she cannot borrow it to me - some patient had stolen it last week. She also told me that it's from the anthology. "Mausoleum of wood and stone, by Sharon." Wait, that reminds me something... Finally, I check the book she has on her desk. Now I know that Mario from the kitchen really loves one book.
[go to LEFT PATH] Yes, it is here! A stump! I will inspect it. There is a pile of stones in front of it. Now I can use the denture to dig out... a flask and a key. Time to visit the chapel.
[go to CHAPEL] There is a priest inside, I got to talk to him (3). He wants some 'Kir', I assume it is some drink. I have to find it before I will return here. I got an idea, I'll check the kitchen.
[go to KITCHEN] Of course, Mario is there. Fortunately I have a tip how to ged rid of him (2). It worked, he's away. Now I can make the Kir using the flask I found in the Park on other bottle on the table. Perfect, now back to chapel.
[go to CHAPEL] Father really appreciated my kir (3), but he get drunk a little. It was not bad, he was funny. He gave me a Bible. Interesting reading it is, but I guess someone else would like it more.
[go to TOOLSHED] There is a patient who looks in a state of Zen. I am sure he would meditate more effeciently with the Bible. I will give it to him. I got a reward for it - a picture magazine Playman. I cannot think about any other woman than Anne now, it would be a nice gift for someone.
[go to BUILDING FRONT] What about Zampano? I think he would love this magazine. Do you want it? Wow, that was fast! He has gone, now I can talk to the authorities... There is a lady dressed in white, she is looking at me with a strange smile. What's wrong? (1). Great, she will take me to the doctor (3, random answers). Stupid questions! How can I find out the answers??? ... Well, it took a while, but now I know all the answers. Let's get back to the infirmary.
[go to INFIRMARE] The doctor is still here. Yes, I am ready to answer your questions, sir (1, 4, 4, 1, 4, 2)! Damn thing! I am back in my cell, locked as a prisoner. I need to escape! Wait a second, what did that crazy patient say to me? There was some patient who had escaped one causing a fire. What was his name? I remember, it was Parx! I must meet him tomorrow... I am so tired now, I go to bed. ... Another morning in my prison. Some other nurse told me that Zempano seems to spend the whole life in the toilette... with my magazine. I should check it soon.
[go to REFECTORY] Today's breakfest is not very good. The bug-eating patient has problem with one extremly large bug, it stucked in his neck. All patients must leave the reflectory NOW.
[go to LAUNDERIE] I hope I will find here something useful. Yes, this broom and clothespin could help me in the future! I guess that is all I can find here. Time to visit my friend Parx.
[go to CELL 3] Through a small window I can see some guy with strange eyes. What is he doing here? (3) Parx told me that he can help me in an exchange for a small fire. I have to burn the toolshed in the park. Okay, I'll do my best to find a way out of here.
[go to 1st FLOOR HALL 3] There is nothing except one small trap door in the ceiling. Too bad I cannot reach it. Of course there is a solution, I can use to broom! The attic is just a big mess. In front of me, there's a man with a cloth on his head pointing at a spot on the ground. There is a small box with a matches in it! And God said "Let's there be light!" Time to check the other cells.
[go to CELL 1] The guy asked me for telling something to his neighbor. Why not?
[go to CELL 4] Message delivered! He doesn't look very pleased. I must deliver a reply.
[go to CELL 1] If I knew the meaning of all words I tell him. Of course he wants me to send a message back.
[go to CELL 4] This is the last thing I have told this guy, I am leaving now.
[go to BACKROOM (from the Lobby)] From this place I will borrow a bottle of a White Spirit. Very good for setting a fire!
[go to RECEPTION] This is the third time I meet this women. Hope she will be more nice now. I'm going to talk to her (1, 2). Am I the only one who thinks she loves Zempano? If I managed their date, I could use the phone she has on her table. I must go to tell it to him, now!
[go to RESTROOM] He is still here. Zempano!
[go to TOILETS] He has gone, but the smell is still unbearable. I better take the toilet paper and leave.
[go to RECEPTION]What a nice view, they look like a couple in love (3)! I must go to tell the thing about two patients to the doctor.
[go to MORGUE] Doctor is here, working on some body (2). He left immediately, I have a few minutes to search the room. There is a camera on the table, now it belongs to me. Time to set a fire!
[go to TOOLSHED] This is the hut I must burn. First of all, I have to prepare a Molotov cocktail. I must combine the toilet paper and the White Spirit to make it. Then use the matches to burn it. Finally, I have to throw it on the hut. Unfortunately, there is a camera pointing on the hut, I must prevent this first. I take a photo of the hut and put it in front of the camera.
[go to ENTRANCE GATE] Now it is simple. I must combine a picture of the hut with clothspins. Then I can put it in front of camera. Success! I will not be disturbed anymore!
[go to TOOLSHED] 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. FIRE!!! Hurry to the Parx's cell!
[go to CELL 3] Hey, buddy, did you see that? He really liked it so he told me how did he escape. It is a very simple way, I have to hide in a mobile laundry table.
[go to LAUNDERIE] I am here, now I can hide in. Hope this is my last day in this prison... No, no, no, I will never be able to escape from here (3, 3). It is getting worse. I am locked in a high security cell with all walls padded to prevent suicides. I am completely naked. They really think I am mad! After a few minutes I tried to call someone, the door was unlocked. I tried to open the door and it worked! Wait, I know that strange sound! It is the same sound I have heard in my phone!!! What the hell is that? I should check my cell first.
[go to MY CELL] They took me everything, maybe I can find it in my bed. There is a key I found before, I take it with me. Now I should find someone.
[go to RECEPTION] I think the sound comes from here. There is a voice recorder on the table playing the sound in front of microphone, that explains why should I hear it in the whole building! I should turn it off. Yes, the silence is much better. Searching the opened drawer I found an envelope, of course I take it too. There is a white sheet inside, withe a lemon smell, but no letters. I think this could be written with a secret ink, I should find something hot to put the sheet on it. What about checking the place of fire?
[go to TOOLSHED] I don't have to stay perfectly clean, I can search the garbage. Look what's here, there is a wrench! Using the sheet on the garbage I got letters visible. Now I know that the last symbol on statues on fountain is Cancer (others are Gemini, Libra, Lion). Okay, now I have a key and a wrench. The key must be from some lock. Let's go to find it.
[go to SHE-WOLF STATUE] Inspecting a wolf statue I find out some slot. Trying the key was successful. Then I was able to open the panel and use the wrench on machines. Hope I have opened some way home.
[go to WELL] Yes, it seems very good, I can go down the well. It is muddy and wet here. There is some bronze door in the distance, I should check them. There is some mechanism on the door with zodiacal signs. I remember I have to push these signs in this order: Gemini, Cancer, Lion, Libra, and then push the central button. Finally, there is a tunnel in fron of me! I can go away! After a hundred steps, the cave seems to be opening onto a big room.
[go to MEETING] What is it? Is it some dak ritual? After many events, I have lost my mind........
Back at Home II.
This morning seems to be absolutely ordinery. My house is fully equipped, every thing is on its own place. The only thing I miss is Anne. Where could she be?
[go to HALL] The phone is ringing. Yes? (2) What??? The police officer told me they found my wife! I must hurry!
[go to BEDROOM] I have to dress up, here are my jeans on the chair. Now open the doors and go to the Love woods! There are two police officers and one naked body in the grass. No, it cannot be true! I am asked to examine the corpse. It is not possible to identify it from behind, I have to turn it... Noooooooooooooo! It was her body. I cannot believe it! Why her? ... Funeral. There are many people I have never seen. Anne knew so many people. Now they are all in our house. I am not in the mood to talk to them now, but I have to talk to Mr. Belleville and Felicienne. Then I can talk to Jean. Thanks a God, the corpse is not Anne's (3). Finally at home, I must think now. The body looked like her, but its face was different. I suppose I know what have happened. Anne lives and I am sure she left me some message. But where? Maybe it is in a broken toilette.
[go to TOILET] While trying to open and fix the toilete I found out I have to turn the water off before I will try to fix it.
[go to KITCHEN] This is the right place where to turn valves off. Now it is save to fix the toilet.
[go to TOILET] First of all, open the water tank. There is a small plastic bag inside causing problems! I'll take it with me. There are some photos in the bag, I will check them in the living room. It is true, my wife is not dead, she is in Paris in my mother's apartment! I will go there to find her immediately!
Mother's apartment
It has been a long time since I was here for the last time. It is my mother's apartment. There is a nice music box on the table near the wall. I tried to open it, but it is locked. I remember I locked it and lost the key many years ago. I should search also other rooms.
[go to LIVING ROOM] There is some symbol made from salt on the floor, I bet this is the same as was on my letterbox and globe. Searching the closet I found a very strong pills called 'Tranquill 6000'. Maybe I can use them later.
[go to BED ROOM]This is the bed where I found my mother dead. I got bad feelings... I have to sit on it for a while. What was that strange sound? Maybe is something under it. There is a small key! Now I will search the armoire. There are several things here, I will take them with me - a coathanger and Anne's sado-masochist clothes in her briefcase.
[go to BATHROOM] Entering bathroom shocked me - Anne is cultivating a marihuana there! I cannot believe it. It is too much for me, I need a refreshing. This is strange, the water doesn't empty, the pipe must be blocked. I would unblock it, but not with my hands. I should use the coathanger instead. Oh, there is a key to the musicbox. Now I can inspect it.
[go to FOYER] With the key, opening the musicbox is very easy. There is a small notebook hidden in it. I should read it page by page. I know most people mentioned in the notebook. I will try to call them all. Only number to Gisele Montfort worked, but she hung up immediately after I introduced myself. This is strange... I'm going to talk to Gisele, maybe she'll be more social if I talk to her in person.
[go to ENTRANCE M.] Here we are. There is an intercom with many buttons. I found the right one and pressed it. She really doesn't want to talk to me. I tried to push all the buttons, but nobody opened me... Let's try it again - someone called Gradoux thought I am someone else (I had to ring the bell twice). Then I ring on the Josephine Petipas, but she called me Ramon and sent me to the drunken doctor. Finally I ring on the doctor Ali Kafour's button, introduced myself as Ramon and he let me go in. Now I am in front of Gisele (3). I know, my tone was not very nice, but it helped. Gisele told me that she saw her a few days ago, she was dressed like a whor and with several friends she went to the swingers bar EXIT. So, my next stop is the EXIT. Seems to be closed now. There is only a streetsweeper in front of the bar (3, 1, 2, 3). Dear Felicienne, thanks the God you came with me, I have a little business for you.
[go to HOTEL] This hotel looks familiar to me. I should ask the desk clerk (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2). Well, let's try and convience Felicienne now.
[go to BEDROOM] She is waiting for me. I need her so I must be kind, I will smile on her. Now it is a good time to talk (2, 3, 2). Well, we spent the whole night in a nice restaurant, I should now try to prepare Felicienne to spend a very interesting evening (2, 4, 2, 3, 1). She doesn't want to hear about it. I have to try something else. I am stupid, I spilled a glass of wine on her dress! She left for a few minutes to clean her dress. I must find a solution soon. Maybe I can replace Tranquill 2000 which is on the desk with Tranquill 6000 I got in my pocket. She is back, I have to look apologic (3, 1, 3). ... The EXIT looks open. I remember I have to be dressed in a different style. Fortunately I got everything in the briefcase. Now we are ready to go inside. I have to ask the bouncer. I understand why they expect you to wear special clothes. We would ruin the ambience otherwise. Let's have a drink.
[go to BAR] There is only one strange guy, maybe he knows Anne (1, 2, 3). Great, I am alone for a while. I can take a few towels now.
[go to COUCHES] There are two woman and one man. I will talk to the man first (2, 3). He told me there is a club inside a club called The Hell. He also invited me for a drink! I am pleased, VERY pleased... The women told me that Christine will be here tonight.
[go to RESTROOM] I met Christine in front of the restroom. (3, 3). There is more silent here, I can rest here for a while before I get out from here. I can unscrew and take a pipe meanwhile. Then I can go to window, wet the towels, put them on the glass and then break it with the pipe. A way away is free! ... Here we are. 23 Crimee Street. I can go inside, the doors is not closed. There is a toolbox in the lift, I can open it and take a hammer and a screwdriver. Then I can use the A.S. key in the keyhole and turn it. The lift has started climbing down. Where am I going?
[go to ENTRANCE HALL] The statue is holding a nice spear, I will take it. Let's move to the other room.
[go to KITCHEN] There is nothing special except some flour bags in the lower cupboard. I will take one bag with me.
[go to BATHROOM] One thing in the bathroom is not perfect - the mirror on the wall is not attached well. Using my screwdriver I will remove it from the wall. There's a note with something written on the back. It is some 4-digit code.
[go to LOUNGE] First of all, I take a musket. Then I search the whole room, but there is nothing more special. Only a wine glass, but I have no usage for it now.
[go to BEDROOM] Inspecting the dressing table, I found a small mirror, which is in my pocket now.
[go to ROOM] An extremely dilapidated room, hardly furnished at all. Inspecting the table I found an isulating tape. Next, I watched the videotape inside the camera. Strange, really strange! And disgusting! Anyway, now I got enough things to solve the closed door puzzle. First of all, I have to combine both mirrors I am carrying. Then cut a piece of tape and combine the roll of tape with the lance. Finally combine the lance and mirrors together and a clever mirroring system is created. Now I can go to corridor and use it.
[go to CORRIDOR] There is something I cannot see. I can use the flour on the sides and voila! Laser beams are visible! Now I can use my clever mirroring system on it. Believe it or not, but I am a pure genius! It works and I can safely open the bronze door.
[go to OFFICE] Looking at the table I noticed a real mess. I can tear one page from the notebook. Then I can look at all photos. Searching the bookcase I found the wall behind it sounds hollow. There is some strange digital fingerprints scanner in the other bookcase, I suppose I should get some fingerprints first.
[go to LOUNGE] There is a wineglass on the table. I try to get fingerprints from it. Opening the musket I got a gunpowder in the sheet of paper. Using gunpowder with the glass makes fingerprints visible. Using the piece of the insulating tape I can get them with me. Hope it will work.
[go to OFFICE] Let's try the tape with fingerprints on the digital scanner. The library is opening. Now get out from here!
[go to BELLEVILLE] It is time to visit my old friend Belleville. The sun is rising so there will be more light. Belleville's hous seems very expensive, but there is nothing interesting, the door is locked... Maybe I can try to break-in the garage. There is a very expensive car inside. Unfortunately, it is locked too.
[go to BACKDOOR] There is some strong iron door in the back of the garage. There is also a digicode! I remember I got some note with a 4-digit code, let me try it. 2319. There is nothing special except one little glass of a concentrated acid inside. You can never know when you will need such a thing.
[go to GARAGE] The acid helps me to open the car's trunk. Just a few drops on the lock and trunk silently opens. There are several things I can take in the trunk - a picture, two paper notes and a small paper in one shoe - an Attorney paper. Anne's shoe! But the car still remains closed. I remember I saw something in a movie with Mac Guyver, I can try to open it using the coathanger! Success! Now I can look inside. There is one thing in the glove compartment - another note. Fine, I think I found everything that could be of interest. I deserve some rest now. It is too early to go to bank. I will return to my mother's apartment.
[go to MOTHER'S APARTMENT] Oh no, Felicienne is waiting for me! Ans she doesn't seem happy (2, 3). Suddently the phone is ringing, Someone called Alex is calling (3). I must see him now!
[go to ALEX'S APARTMENT] We are in front of Alex's door. I try to knock the door, but no answer. I try to open the door and it opens with a silent sound. This is horrible... A man hanging on a rope! Alex! I cannot help him, but he can help me. I will search his body. There's a small key, I will take it. There is also a cigarette box on the floor, but no cigarette inside, just a lighter. Felicienne doesn't look too combortable, we will return to the hotel.
[go to BANK] There's nobody here, I am lucky I won't have to wait. I think I should talk to the banker. He carefully inspects my procuration (3). Then he shows me a locked safe. Fortunately I got a key! There is just a Bible in the safe with some photo inside the book. There's a message on the back. Time to return to the Exit!
[go to EXIT] Knock, knock on the door. (2, 3) Inside again. There is some woman wearing the same kind of gown I saw before in the San Lazzaro underground cave. I can talk to her (1, 2, 2, 3). No I am in front of the crowd. I can try to talk to the man on the left. He finally leads me to the St. Arman. What's up, boy? (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) After a very long opinion exchange there is a fire! I tried to flee one cult member, the a shot fired from behind me! Then I can see St. Arman with a gun in one and some picture in the other hand. I have to ask him what happens. He didn't tell me anything, he just gave me the picture.
[go to MOTHER'S APARTMENT] I don't know how but I am back in my mother's apartment. There is dark as in the dungeon here, I can only touch some candles. I will fire them to make some light using my lighter. Now I can try to make a ritual they told me about.
[go to BATHROOM] I need some plant, I can take as much as I can carry.
[go to LIVING ROOM] There is a nice place above the fireplace, I can hang there the picture. Then I mixed a paper with tobacco and put it into braziers. Finally I light them up. The room is full of smoke, I hear some noise... Am I dead? Where am I? There is some sihouette near to me, I can ask it. (1, 3). She will take me to the Isle of the Dead, but I have to pay her. I don't understand that, but there are some coins in my pocket. Now I can board.
Isle of the Dead
While sailing to the isle, I got a plenty of time to remember last few days. Many things happened and I don't understand them. Together, we leave the boat and wait along the beach. (3). Now I am alone on this island. There is just one broken boat next to me. A boat hook is inside, I will take it. Then I start discovering the island.
[go to ASTROLAB] I don't know why I walk here, but now I am here and can search this place. There is a small statue in one of the bowls. I am not sure but it looks like Alex! Unbelievable!
[go to AMPHITHEATER] There are 5 big statues in this arena and one empty pedestal. A little open box is nearby, but I am interested in the Alex statue more. I tried to put Alex's statue in front of the big statue of him on the pedestal and then... I am back in front of my shop. When I try to enter it, I meet Alex (1, 2) In front of me, the music box has opened. There is a music box spike roll, I will take it. Now I can fix the broken music box in front of the empty pedestal. A strange sound... I can hear something like water flowing.
[go to FOUNTAIN] There is much less mud in the fountain. I can see something that looks like a statue. I will take it with me.
[go to AMPHITHEATER] As before, I can use the statie on the pedestal in front of the big statue of Christine. I am back in the train, I see Christine in front of me (3). Also this music box opens and I can take the babylon batteries with me. I suppose I will use them soon.
[go to DEVICE in the HOUSE] This is the right place I can use the babylon battery. I put it in the hole and two lights have appeared on the disk at the side. I suppose I should remember them!
[go to TEMPLE HEART] There are some strange symbols under big statues. Two of them are the same that have been highlighted in the house. I will push them and push the button. A sarcophagus has opened! I look inside and there is a Jean's statue! Back to the amphitheater.
[go to AMPHITHEATER] Now I can go in front of Jean's statue and put the small statue on the pedestal. I am back in the Jean's apartment (4). A lovely dagger is hidden inside the music box. I take it with me.
[go to TEMPLE HEART] Back in the temple. There is another sarcophagus on the ground, not yet opened. I will try the dagger to open it. Okay, now it is opened. Another statue is inside it!
[go to AMPHITHEATER] Now I can go in front of the doctor's statue and put the small statue on the pedestal. I am back in the San Lazarro hospital, I see the doctor in front of me (2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1). Yet another music box is opened. There's a rope inside it. Now I can climb the mountains.
[go to MOUNTAIN] Such a high mountain it is! I have to combine the hook and the rope together. Now I can use it on the table. After climbing up I noticed the small oil lamp. I will take it with me, there are many thieves around. It is bad but I don't have any idea what to do next.
[go to ISLE of the DEAD] Examining the left dog statue I noticed it is strongly surfaced by a moss. I hope I will be able to burn it using my oil lamp. Now there is a small hole unveiled. Searching it I found another statue! Hope this is the last one!
[go to AMPHITHEATER] Finally I can put the statue in front of St. Arman's. I am back in the place of fire in front of St. Arman. I will take the painting from him, but will not flee now. I will put the painting into the flames and wait... The last music box opens and I got a nice cutting stone. There's a fragment missing on one side.
[go to ASTROLAB] Insecting the statue I found a small spot. The only thing which will fit in it is the cutting stone. I put it there and then I heard some strange sound coming from below... I hope it is some elevator in the well. I am going to jump into the well now! After a never-ending trip downwards, the lift stops and opens on what look like the heart of a mining well. I can see a tunnel in the distance.
[go to LAVA LAKE] There's an infernal heat in here.
[go to MOUNT] Belleville and Anne are there, waiting for me. I have so many questions! I will talk to Belleville first. (3) Then I ask Anne. (3) Enough, I am leaving this devil's place!
[go to MOUNT] Belleville is dead, swimming in the lava, and my Anne is dying, shot by him! (3) She just told me to get her pendant and... DIED! Noooooooooooo! I have to go away, and fast! Just take the pendant and leave.
[go to ASTROLAB] I feel like in a dream... I have to finish my job... The pendant has the same color as the stone I put in the statue's hand. I will try to use the pendant on it. The bright light came from the stone....
The Great End
Where am I? And why am I completely naked? It looks like I am in some spaceship! There are some strange things around me and I don't know how to manipulate them. There is my Anne too, in one of the tubes. She is lying there like a Sleeping Beauty. There is a LCD screen above Anne. The resolution is awesome! After several minutes of searching the room I heard a noise. Someone is trying to open the door with a blowtorch! Then, a stranger came to me and told me the whole story.............. And this is the end. I hope you liked the game and had a great fun playing it. If you have some questions, please ask in the discussion forum (the link is on the right side of this page).
Finally, there is a small easter egg for all who had finished it. Once you have finished the game, restart a new game and when you'll be in the bedroom (interctive scene) Type : Left,Up,Left,Right,Down,Down,Up,Right :)
Important note for iPaq users: get the Fade GAMMA patch v1.07 [698KB], it allows you to set brightness so no more too dark screens!
