Quoting: razing32I think I am playing on normal but not sure.
Have not played in over a week as all the characters I have make things confusing at this point :(
I gave all (transferrable) items to one person to have a better overview. But if you find it too confusing and not enjoyable, better play it on easy mode than not at all. You would have to start from beginning, though, difficulty is not changeable later on.

Quoting: razing32Uhm , there is actually.
Spoiler, click me
There's a ghost in there that messes with the controls preventing you to get to the penthouse until you get her something.
Not in the easy mode to the very best of my knowledge (which is: I played it today).

Quoting: NanobangThis looks like one of those games I'll be buying on principle, which is good, as I haven't found the notion of a point-and-click anything to be attractive, and this may as well be my entry into the genre. I'll be supporting Linux and and a good game and an enlightened developer in one go.
It's a very special point and click, though, with an interface from the nineties. And if you want to give point and click a try and don't mind the nineties' interface, my first bet would be Day of the Tentacle remastered.

*edit* I don't want to stop you from buying and playing it, though! :)

Quoting: crabelI recommend to play the game on easy mode first. The riddles are far easier and you know later in the hard mode, what you need to generally do. In hard mode, it is very easy to get lost with the many options, people and places. Finishing the game in easy mode first gives you a general impression what you need to do next.
I played hard mode first and was surprised how much is missing (even several places) in easy mode. I don't think the puzzles are too hard (as you said, not as hard as back in the times) and some things even make no sense in easy mode.

Like when you're reaching penthouse in the hotel, the man there says that the lady in the elevator (forgot their name) didn't do her work correctly - when there's no lady in the elevator in the first place.

Anybody knows if Gilbert talked about his future? The game somehow feels like a closure... On the other hand, in the credits, he expressed his hopes he never needs to do real work... :-)

That's a great number!
Maybe there's some... special intersection between retro loves and Linux users...?

If you're into point and click the slightest, do get this game. I had wondered if verb choice is still ok - now I wonder how anything else could be ok. :-)

This image is stupid.
Stupid it may be BUT the person in it actually believes those words.
On the contrary. [External Link]

Quoting: Power-Metal-GamesAnd when we hear from Feral what game is it exactly?
Earliest when it has been officially announced.
It's not like a riddle they're going to solve next week...

Quoting: razing32Bioshock infinite ? :(
I never got a chance to play that.
Guess will have to skip that part of the stream to avoid spoilers.
Too bad Metro did not work.
Yes, play it on your own without watching videos/streams in advance!
Still have to play Burial at Sea, this reminds me...

Quoting: chui2chThis makes me think it is Dawn of War III.
Makes sense. Where does it come from?

I don't know how Dawn of War III would solve the feral radar riddle but would make absolute sense, because Dawn of War is in Ferals porting realm.
It's from the DOW 3 steamdb page
