Walking In Circles
The person who mailed the link to walking in circles to me (thanks looby) reckons this is a game and went so far to ask for help as she hadn't "got passed the third girl". I must be losing my point'n'click touch though as I haven't managed to find anything that seems like a game in it yet. To me it seems like a, albeit rather nice, little flash exploring oddity. However I know some of you are demons at these things so I challenge you to unleash hell on the thing and let me know what's going on with it. Mystery solving in the comments as usual.

Yup - that's about where I am :o)

argh now its driving me mad and i won't be able to go to bed until i've at least figured out what its all about. i just found the girl on her break though so thats a minor breakthrough

This game has been around for quite a while, so there's quite a few messages in the 'chat'/comments dealie. There are (far too) many hints in there on how to solve the game, if anyone feels like cheating.

And it most definitely is a game, with a definite end, and slight rewards at the end. I'd give you all the fake password.... but I can't remember what it is, alas!

And it will certainly take you a few hours to finish, at least (without help, that is); this is not a quick game. It probably takes like at least 10 minutes even if you know exactly what to do.

i just lost all my progress due to a power cut :o( there should be a save system for a game this size, i was on it for at least 3 hours and now its all gone *cries*

I found reading the instant messaging on the palm pilot thing quite helpful. There are a few clues. Also, once you have the photo albulm the aim of the game becomes a little clearer!

:
Horray! I've found Kimberley! She certainly is elusive!
Once you've seen her shadows and talked to everyone again, theres a new arrow option to click - you've just got to find it!

Looby

:
well at last I've finished. Woohoo. It only took me 24 hours on and off. Once you have the password, thats it. You've finished. But there are a load of extras to look at.

Comment 9, Friday, October 22nd 2004 10:30:00 AM

Looby

:
By the way DO NOT use the fake password. It takes you to a page that never loads and you can't go back!

:
I love this game! I played it months ago and it took me hours to figure out. Even knowing what to do, it takes at least an hour start to finish. There are some things that can only be accomplished during the night or day, so you have to wait for time to pass.

My tip is thusly this: Save all your art, poetry and comic admiration for the times you have to wait for sunrise or sunset.

Comment 13, Friday, October 22nd 2004 06:52:00 PM

Stu

:

any tips on where to start?

Emily

:
hey, i'm just starting out with all this... i've got nothing but 2 pics of the girl behind the bar, and i can't seem to find the girl near the projectors... any hints? have i skipped a step that i need to do before finding her?

Comment 15, Friday, October 22nd 2004 09:15:00 PM

Stu

:
emily, have you given the envelipe from the alien to mel yet?

if do, you need to look for nikki, try searching the drunks area

Dan

:
I've seen the shadow with the scanner and talked to everyone again.. now where is that new arrow? :-)

Comment 17, Friday, October 22nd 2004 09:01:00 PM

Stu

:
its in the main room when u look out to the drunk, its to the left

Comment 18, Friday, October 22nd 2004 10:01:00 PM

Emily

:
thanks for the advice, turned out i hadn't found nikki yet... heh *sheepish grin*

you don't happen to have figured out the gameboy thing yet, do you? i've been trying, but i figure it's hopeless if you've been at it that long (34 times? now that's motivation!) there's gotta be something else...

Comment 19, Friday, October 22nd 2004 11:32:00 PM

Stu

:
im guessing you have to get the drunk to talk dante as there's just no way i can complete that darn game (76 times now and many glasses of wine)

Comment 20, Friday, October 22nd 2004 11:46:00 PM

Dun

:
This is the best clickthrough I've ever seen.

You don't need to beat the gameboy, although I did manage to.

Comment 21, Saturday, October 23rd 2004 12:27:00 AM

Stu

:
HUZZAH!!! i finished it at last. this game is easiest the best p 'n' c game ive played, it makes the (before today) wonderful crimson room seem like playdays...

can confirm you dont need to beat the gameboy, thank god for small mercies, and the ending is definately worth it, plenty of extras to click around with

to echo other recent comments, where the heck is kimberly? i've been searching for her for an entire day. please someone help. where is this "shadow" ppl have mentioned? is it that fuzzy image on the scanner when you're facing the drunk's booth? damn this is aggrivating, but now i'm obsessed. i have to get farther in this thing. where's kim!?!?!

Comment 35, Thursday, October 28th 2004 02:57:00 PM

Martha corgan

:
if you use scanner on drunk you can almost see a girl behind him. i don't know if that is the "shadow girl" every one's been talking about. how do you find her? how do you fix the thing on the hill top? why doesn't the girl in the storage room say much to you? at night, in the storage room,what are you looking for? other than the book,i mean. where do you find the magnifing glass?

Comment 46, Tuesday, November 2nd 2004 07:11:00 PM

Mol

:
Hmm, what to do with the magnifying glass? And how to "get" the drunk quoting Dante? I mean, he's quoting him fine, but am I supposed to record it somehow?

Comment 47, Tuesday, November 2nd 2004 09:51:00 PM

Shan

Niki

:
I need to find the ghost and the third lady.
HELP

Comment 49, Wednesday, November 3rd 2004 01:14:00 AM

Dan

:
Again I have 10 pics but no VR and no magnifying glasse. The only thing I found after that was to click the last picture on Term2 so the druck said something different but still unreadable. All girls keep repeating the same message now.

So where is the magnifying glass? And where is the VR? Nikki will help me once I get the VR she said.

Thanks
