Pick up the case - bug and walkthrough
There is a bug in the release version of the game - if you leave the first screen without picking up the case, the case will vanish for the rest of the game; and you need it at the end. When the game starts, be sure to right click on it to pick it up - it will be at Moe's feet. Also, don't forget, left mouse to examine, right mouse to use stuff.Here is a walkthrough of the game, universal hint system style:
| This dog is in my way. |
| Give him something to chase so he is not in your way. |
| The item you give him can move on it's own. |
| It's a living creature. |
| But when you first get it, it is too tired to run. |
| Give it something to make it more energetic (highlight next hint for full solution) |
| Get squirrel from the hole in the tree, use the soda on the squirrel, use the hyper squirrel on the dog. |
| How do I get the squirrel? |
| You need to lure him out. |
| What do squirrels like to eat? |
| The item you need should be obvious when you find it, but it can't just be picked up somewhere. |
| You have to get into the car first. |
| The hobo has what you need. |
| Trade what you get in the car to the hobo, and then use that to get the squirrel. |
| How do I get into the car? |
| You'll have to break in. |
| But you don't want to be destructive. |
| How would you break in if it was your own car? |
| The tool you need is actually a part of another item. |
| Use the suit on the car door. |
| How do I get into the shed? |
| You will have what you need later in the game. |
| It will be obvious when you can. |
| I guess you just want to cheat through the whole game? |
| Cheater. |
| Mow the lawn with the lawnmower to find the key. Use the key on the shed door to unlock it. |
| How do I get the lawnmower to work |
| It needs gas. |
| The car has gas. |
| Maybe it can be siphoned? |
| Need a container to hold the gas, and something to syphon it with. |
| Too actually siphon the gas, you need to use the two items together. |
| So combine them before using the combined item on the gas tank of the car. |
| Use the gas on the lawnmower, then use the mower to mow the lawn. |
| What is a good container for the gas puzzle? |
| The soda doesn't work as a container. |
| There is only one other item that really makes sense, and it is an easy item to find. |
| It's the lawn gnome watering can. |
| I still can't get gas. |
| Pick up the lawn gnome |
| Pick up the hose |
| Use the hose on the lawn gnome |
| Use the gnome/hose on the gas tank. |
| What's with the hobo? |
| He trades random things for random things. |
| When stuck, trying to trade any leftover items to the hobo may work. |
| Highlight next hint for the list of items you trade. |
| Trade the smelly sock and the ladder. |
| How do I ring the doorbell without bad things happening? |
| You need to get in the shed first. |
| If you've been in the shed and cleaned it out, you should be able to fix the problem. |
| It's a problem with the floor, not a problem with the doorbell. |
| Use the boards, nails, and then hammer on the trapdoor to cover it up. |
| I don't have any peppermint! |
| You don't need peppermint, that's just Henry's lame mannerism. |
| Just try to sell him the breifcase (use breifcase on henry. |
| If you don't have a breifcase, you didn't read the topic of this post and you have to start the game over again. |
| What's Henry's problem with me? |
| He will only buy from a proper businessman. |
| He tells you the two things that you need to be in order to be considered proper. |
| Greasy hair, and a suit. |
| The suit should be obvious - you already have it. |
| The grease is a bit of a stretch |
| You will find the grease you need if you have traded with the hobo twice. |
| Use what he gives you on your hair to handle the grease. |
| Still don't get it? |
| Trade ladder to hobo to get pizza, use pizza on moe to grease his hair. |
| Sell breifcase to henry and win the game. |
