During his desperate getaway, in the company of a mysterious striptease dancer, he ends up meeting a wide range of unusual characters. But which ones are tryingto help him and which ones are planning to blow his head off? You will have to be very ingenious to figure it out, without forgetting that nobody is who they seem in this explosive mixture of murder, money, ambition, santería rituals and deception... ...a whole lot of deception. ============================================================================== WALKTHROUGH ============================================================================== CHAPTER 1: WAKE ME BEFORE DYING Search out the room for useable items: pick up the Gina's bag from the locker, the sheet from the bed. Search out the bag for some matches. Pick up the glass and the pills next from Gina, and examine the bathrooms door. Examine the map on it. It says: the storeroom is next to us. Go to the bathroom, and pick up the bottle of alcohol, and search out the wastebasket for a marking pen. Go out from the bath now, and climp out to the window. You are in the storeroom now. Check out the left shelves, and pick up the spray bottle and on of the syringes from the boxes. Get the pillows from the floor, and check the file cabinet on the right. It has a book on it, and in the opened desk: a blank paper. Get the head of the human body, and go back to Gina. Check out Gina's bag again, and now there is a new item: a wig. Put it into the human head, and combine it with the pillows, we can make a fake patient lying at the empty bed. Go to your inventory, and fill in the syringe some alcohol to it. Now you can pump it to the pen, and write some fake id's to the medical chart. Change it with Gina's, so the mafia will think: the fake patient are gonna be Gina... Go through the bathroom, and wait for the killer to shoot down the fake doll. Now go outside, and check the book what you found in the storeroom, which says: you can wake up Gina with some water. Because your glass is broken, you must use the spray bottle alongside with the matches at the fire sprinkler - and voila, you earn the end of this chapter! ============================================================================== CHAPTER 2: THE MYSTERIOUS CRUCIFIX Talk to Dr. Oliwah, and after she didn't want to restaurate your crucifix change it into some mayan item from the shelves next to her. Searh out the room for another useful items. Go to the right part of it, and pick up the strange brush next from the helium tank. As Brian said, it's a talcum powder brush, what is using by the police to indetify some kind of fingerprints. Now check the briefcase next to the skeleton, and pick up one of the many varnishes. Go out to the corridors, and go downstairs. Talk to the janitor, and he gave you his business card. Ask him about his business. As you see, he go upstairs and enters the Analysis Laboratory. While he's in there, go through the door in your right, and immediatly turn back. After Willy is in his place again, go upstairs and use the colorless varnish on the laboratorys control panel. Then you must earn that Willy step in to this room again - so go to the phone at and of the hall, and call him. The trick works: he is in the lab! While he's there, go to Clives office, and pick up his books from the desk. Whoa! Some kind of strange keyhole appeared under the books. Remember this! Go out, and use the talcum powder brush on the laboratorys panel, and there you are: his fingerprints marked four buttons what you must use, if you want to go in. The numbers are: 1, 3, 7 and 8. The combination to the lab is: 8137. Pick up the strange golden object from next to the first aid box, and read the letter what is under that: it's some kind of key... Try to open the thermal chamber, but it needs some kind of voice recognition. Head to Clives office again, and use your golden object at the keyhole. It opens a secret safe in his desk. Pick up the voice recorder device, and go to the Restoration Laboratory. Use the recorder on Dr. Oliwah, and now you can use it on the thermal chambers button. But damn, the battery went low. So you must need to recharge it. Look at the liquid nitrogen tank at end of the room, and let's think. If you can put into it somehow, the battery will fully recovered. So, pick up the ladle next to it, combine with the battery, and put the whole thing into the tank. Put your recharged battery to the voice recorder, and use it in the chambers button. There you are: you can pick up now the mayan mask. Use your strange mayan object on it, and you can separate the big red diamond from it. You must change the lasers diamond in the Restoration Laboratory, and watch the show: Dr. Oliwah brokes her first artifact ever. In her deep letargy, all she's needed: some kind of coffe. Go to the corridor, and finds the coffe machines empty. Go to the Mayan Exhibition and pick up one of the pots from the center of the place. It looks like some kind of coffe. Show it to Willy, but he's deny to put it to the coffe machine. Go upstairs, and in Dr. Oliwahs desk, use the machine to grind down it. Go back to Willy, but he didn't want to fill the machine with some kind of used material. Go upstairs, and check the wastebasket to some kind of coffepaper. Use your grinded coffe on the paper, and gave the whole thing to Willy. After he fills up the machine, make a cup of coffe, and give it to Dr. Oliwah. Wait for its effect, and back to her room. Pick up the finished crucifix, and go to the lab, to search for it origin. Whatch the cutscene, and prepare for the third chapter of the game. ============================================================================== CHAPTER 3: THE GREAT ESCAPE See it in the next update... ==============================================================================
