Wow, released almost 9 months after it was announced? The main character should have a baby by now.

Double-click on a piece to turn it clockwise.

Or, if your mouse has a wheel, hold your mouse button down on a piece and spin your mouse wheel up or down to turn it clockwise or counter-clockwise.

Yup, you're on the right track!

It has to do with the number on the Valentine card AND the book list.

ENGINE ROOM PUZZLE:

The maximum capacities of the gauges are 5, 8, and 6 from left to right. The numbers 3-4-6 scratched above indicate that the gauges should contain 3, 4, and 6 units of liquid, from left to right. The 2 top buttons below each gauge are used to fill and drain. The lower button transfers liquid to the gauge on its right. The rightmost gauge will transfer its contents equally between the other two.

NAVIGATION ROOM PUZZLE:

Set the coordinates for the Hidden World by choosing the 6 correct metallic cards and placing them in their proper positions. The coordinates for the Hidden World are on page 13 of the journal. As you place the cards on the slots, the markings of each row and column will be combined on the 5 black areas. These should look like the symbols on the 5 coordinates.

On Wed Jul 21 10:33:16 PDT 2010, pistachio said:

The code on the postcard is 832619. These correspond to the following books on the list: Moby Dick, The Origin of Species, the Bible, The Iliad, Alice in Wonderland, and The Raven. The symbols representing these books are: whale, monkey, cross, Trojan horse, rabbit, raven. Click on the symbols in that order.

If the PDA is green, then click it again. Sometimes you'll be given 5 or 6 objectives one after the other, all in the same room, and you end up with so many tabs on your taskbar!

On Wed May 19 16:10:24 PDT 2010, pistachio said:

Check the PDA icon on the bottom left of your screen. Is it glowing green or red? If so, then you have another hotspot to find that will help unlock that object.

Also, check if you have several tabs on your object bar. Click on the tabs to switch between them, as there may be other items to find first before the locked object.

hi lizi! Sorry I just saw your message now.

If all the numbers are lit except for 2, then press these next: 1, 3, 8 to turn them all off. Then press the center and all the corners to light them all up.

Enjoy the rest of the game!

If ever you're stuck at any time during the game, you can refer to Gamezebo for the walkthrough:

It also contains solutions for the marble puzzles in Hard Mode.

I don't see any competition between the two sites (GOG & Gamehouse). They carry completely different catalogs. I'm an annual Funpass subscriber here, and over at GOG I bought Riven, Myst and Uru. Is Gamehouse planning to carry those games anytime soon? The only game on GOG that also appears on the casual game portals is Syberia. But Gamehouse doesn't carry it, so I don't see any reason to flag this thread.

Thank you for FINALLY acting on one of our suggestions

even if it took 5 months after the request was made!

Now how about working on the other improvements?

Hi Tim!

I'd point you towards the walkthrough for the tutorial here (http://www.gamezebo.com/download-games/born-darkness/user-tips/walkthrough-tutorial-sequence) but I don't think you have problems following a tutorial. You also mentioned turning on and off the custom cursor, and also switching from full screen to windowed mode, but with no luck in either.

If Gamehouse Support can't help, I would suggest to try downloading it from Shockwave.com and see if that version works for you. But if it still doesn't, then my next recourse would be to write the developer of the game, Pobros, at support@pobros.com or through their website at http://www.pobros.com/contact/index.html

No trouble at all. Better to cancel on the 6th day, to be sure. I've had no need to call or get phone assistance. Everything is done easily online, in the My Account section. It's just a simple button which you click, and that's it!

I'd like to be able to install games on my D: drive instead of defaulting to C drive. Does the new Games Manager do that?

Someone posted a workaround on another forum:

1. If you're on fullscreen mode, switch to windowed. And if you're on windowed mode, switch to fullscreen.

2. Move the magnifying glass around the scroll until you see the symbol that matches the first colored button on top.

3. Put the symbol in the center of the magnifying glass. When you click, the colored button is supposed to light up. But in some cases, clicking doesn't do anything, so obviously there's a glitch.

4. Here's the workaround -- MOVE your cursor downward, till the top of the magnifying glass covers the symbol, and THEN click.

Let me know if that worked!

Hi Gina! Just indicate what numbers are pink and grey right now, and then don't touch a thing! After you post, I'll try to guide you on what buttons to press next.

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

If I don't check back here right away, you can send me a Private Message at the Gamezebo forums, as I'm usually there all the time.

Hi brandy! Still there?
Sorry I only got to see this post now.
If your lights are still in that position,
press these in order: 8, 4, 6, 5
That should do it!

I think the soy sauce is on the left door of the cupboard, beside the fire extinguisher. The dog bone biscuit is on the right door of the cupboard, on the bottom shelf below the 3 bottles. Let me know if that worked!

Hi betty! You need to press the button once, then pull the handle once, then do both steps 3 more times. In other words, press this:

button

Hi Poppet! There's no way to reset the keypad, unfortunately. I replayed the whole game this morning just to see if that mini-game could be reset. But sadly the developers didn't provide this feature. Even going to another room, or exiting the game doesn't reset it.

So here's what we can do. Tell me what lights are turned on in your keypad, and I'll guide you through what buttons to press next.

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

Just indicate what numbers are on right now, and then don't touch a thing! After you post, I'll reply with the solution to your keypad.

Hi all! I've been a member of this forum before the RA merge. But the reason I don't post very much is because I don't find the forum software (layout, organization, interface etc) intuitive at all. Perhaps that could be a reason why people from other forums prefer not to hang out here. The members are warm and inviting, but the forum software...not so much.

On Sun Jan 31 23:47:25 PST 2010, pistachio said:

I use a spreadsheet too! I'm kinda OC (obsessive-compulsive) and need to make lists of everything. I take note of games I've tried, and which sites they're from, and I rate them. So that when I have a game credit, I check my wish list of must-buys and choose from there.

I also list games I purchased, where I got them, and how much I bought them. And there's an automatic sum total at the bottom, to warn me how much I spend on this addictive hobby!

Oh, by the way, you can access the yearly Funpass subscription here:

On Fri Jan 29 02:12:58 PST 2010, pistachio said:

In other words, are you suggesting that, if the Gamehouse site detects that you are FunPass member, then it shouldn't display the Free Game with ads?

Now what if, I only plan to continue my Funpass subscription till the end of this month? Wouldn't I be interested in downloading the Free Game with Ads, for future use? I know that the full version is free to me right now, without ads, as a FunPass member. But once my subscription ends, I will no longer have access to that. So I would like the option of downloading today's Free Game with Ads, that I can play in the future when I'm no longer a Funpass subscriber. The free game is only offered once, so might as well take advantage of it while it's there, right? And keep it as a free investment.

On Fri Jan 29 02:06:25 PST 2010, pistachio said:

About your original question on why the ad-supported games don't work with Funpass, is because it's an entirely different download version. They have 2 versions of the game -- the regular version (the one with 3 tabs: FunPass, Register Game, and Free 60-minute Trial), and then there's a totally different version with added commercials. So if you want the real thing, go to the game's official download page, download and install it again.

You'll need to uninstall, then download the newest version of the installer. Gamehouse fixed the bug that causes the game to crash when creating a profile name. They put up a new build on the site that addresses that. So just uninstall, re-download, and re-install. It should be fine after that.
