Wait...is that Bill the Cat I see in the screenshot there?

If I don't see Opus when I start playing, I will be VERY disappointed...

Hmmm.. pretty much stuck. I've got some puzzles to which I don't seem to have the hints and some hints to which I don't seem to have the puzzles...

Almost done... what do you need?

Well, first, a hint (not a spoiler) for the

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)

password for the chess CD

would be good, thank you. I've tried about 20 different ones, but none worked...

I see. Thx.
Does it have to do anything with the

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)

position of the chess pieces on the board - either the starting position or their current position on the coffee table?

I feel like I am missing a tube someplace with a

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)

blue ball inside...

that's what my last puzzle suggests.

Any help?

yes.

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)

If it's not a word, reverse it.

Aha. Then what i was afraid of turns out to be true... what I managed to get off that hint was included in my tries - though, however I interpreted the clue, it wasn't
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)

a meaningful English word, no matter which way of the possible two I tried it

So, at last now I see where I should look (again...)...

Thx for the hint.

TBH, I got rather bored after spending like half an hour going round and round in the room, seeing the same things, checking everything time and again, trying the same codes or passwords knowing they woudln't work anyway... Having a long period where you don't find ONE vital clue so you cannot proceed quite kills any escape game, i guess...

The mystery key (to the left side of the cabinet) has no tokens to suggest where it would be.

So...

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)

it's taped up behind a cracked surface.

Had to find a walkthrough elsewhere.

All right, I guess I lost my interest in this game. That stall was just too much... I can't interpret the chess-board hint, all I get out of it is useless.

Shame, because I liked the first 10-15 minutes of it. But from then it all went South :(

Well, anyone else playing?

The passcode, ironically, is what you have after trying to get the answer:

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)

The numbers on the side indicate the direction, the letters on the bottom indicate the letter. The pieces on the board on the coffee table represent the letter for each position. HEADACHE.
