Talk to George again and complete all conversation.

View the fruit box to the right of the bed – and open the envelope in it. Carol says: ”The Blood Falls? Maybe I can ask Stina about that”. Stina appears on the map.

Talk to Stina and conclude all dialogs.

Walk to the very end of the area and go through the squeaky gate, until you reach a rusty tunnel beside the waterfall. Carol says: ”I don’t see any colours here”.

Pick up the USB flash memory stick lying on the bench beneath the stairs in the tunnel. Carol says ”It’s a USB flash memory stick. It must have fallen out from somebody’s pocket”.

Home (2nd visit)

It is now night time.

Find the notebook computer in the living room and insert the USB flash memory stick in it. Read what’s on the computer screen. Carol says ”It looks like I will have to go there at night”.

SUMMER


Carol’s allotment (1st visit)

After the cutscene, Carol is lying in her hammock contemplating the sky. Leave the hammock using the back-arrow.

Look at the hammock in close-up. Pick up the allotment key.

Try the allotment key in the lock to the small house on the allotment. The key gets stuck in the lock. Carol says ”I think it needs some lubrication”. A gearwheel hotspot appears on the stuck key.

Talk to Stina, and read the newspaper article, which goes into inventory.

Find the small house behind the barn. Pick up the rake.

Enter the barn. At the entrance, pick up the fingerprint powder to the right of the old broken down cart.

Take the long metal ladder, which is lying on some straw in the inner room.

Prop the long metal ladder up against the wall to the right of the door leading to the inner room.

Look at the brown rectangular object on the floor in the hayloft. Try to take it. Carol says ”It’s too far away. And I don’t want to walk out there”.

Try to get the brown object with the rake. The object falls through the hole in the floor.

Go down from the hayloft, and enter the inner room again. The brown object lies in a stall to the right. Look at it in close-up. It is an old-style digital watch.

The Malte Stierngranat museum appears on the map.

When Carol leaves the barn area, she says ”Maybe I should check with George if Martin’s room still is unoccupied”. (This does not happen if the fingerprint powder hasn’t been picked up).

The museum has two floors. In the very small hallway, from which we enter the museum, two doors are locked: One leading to a room which is ;Being redecorated’, and one with a padlock on it.

Enter the chapel from the hallway. Read the information about Malte on the several sheets of paper lying on a table.

Climb the stairs in the hallway to get to the upper floor.

In the School Museum, enter the first door to the left, and go through the corridor. In the kitchenette, find the wastepaper basket, and look at it in close-up. Pick up the postcard, and turn it around. Martin mentions on the postcard that Carin has a studio. Maybe George knows something about that?

Talk to George and exhaust all dialogs.

The door to Carin’s small studio is to the left in the corridor.

At the first, white shelf to the left, there are some tools. Look at the red hole punch in close up, and pick it up.

The Malte Stierngranat Museum (2nd visit)

When the sound recorder has been picked up, and the sheets in the chapel viewed have been viewed together with the brochure on the upper floor in the Malte Stierngranat, the room that was previously locked for renovation on the ground floor is now open. Enter that room, and read the pamphlet lying on a chest to the left.

Find two statues, one depicting a man and the other a woman. Pick up the brochure lying in front of the male statue. In close up, look at what Mikael Nyqvist is holding in his hand. It’s a magnetic card with four holes.

Find a small bench in the center of the area. Pick up the magnetic card lying in front of it. Note that it has three holes.

Use the hole punch on the magnetic card to punch a fourth hole in the card, and get a punched magnetic card.

Go to the ‘ornamental Ark’ at the centre of the area. In close up, view the front of the Ark. Use the punched magnetic card on the slot there.

In addition, a code must also be entered in order to open the Ark.

After entering the Ark, look at the paintings on the walls. The Saint Maria Church appears on the map.

Enter the work shed through the right door. Examine the objects on the bench to the right. Lift the pouch, and grab the knife.

The swing doors at the end of the factory area can now be opened with the crowbar.

In the room behind the swing doors, lift the box with cables from the floor. Carol says ”I think we have an audio cable here”. Take the audio cable.

Enter the other room behind the swing doors. To the left, there is a filing cabinet with an open drawer containing a blueprint. Lift the blueprint. Emhart Zurich appears on the map.

It is night time when Carol arrives home after having picked up the audio cable.

Carol wakes up the following morning.

Combine the audio recorder with the audio cable and get an audio recorder with cable.

Go to the living room and use the audio recorder with cable on the notebook computer. We hear some loud noises that Martin had deliberately recorded (for the computer game he was developing) in the Sound Forge factory, followed by a message he left to himself: Note to self: “It just struck me that the perfect hiding place would be that strange space behind my wardrobe”.

Martin’s room (4th visit)

Carin’s studio (2nd visit)

Open the box.

The poem by Malte (in red) is the key to the code to enter the pyramid. The poem refers to the Bosch painting (or, rather, the two halves of it). The five stanzas in the poem each reveal one number.

The answers to the first 3 stanzas can be found in the half in the church museum. It hangs on the left wall in the church room in the museum.

George sends Carol a text message.

Talk to George and exhaust all dialogs.

Find the sofa at the far end of the living room. Look at the pillow in close-up. Read the note behind the pillow.

Walk forward once, and turn left to find the front door to the house. Ring the doorbell to the left of the door. Carol say “Well, here goes”. No one opens the door, and Carol eventually says ”They don’t seem to be home.” Try to open the door with the handle.

Turn left, and look at the table in close-up. Pick up the note with grid.

Turn right again, and open the door to the shed. There are several tools in the shed. ‘Borrow’ the crow foot to the far left of the screen.

Go all the way around the house, and find the terrace. There is a green code panel to the left of the door to the terrace. – Open it!!

Note that the pattern on the note with grid resembles the code lock. The single dot represents the first number that should be pressed, a dot with a circle around it represents the second number, a dot with two circles around it represents the third number, and a dot with three circles around it represents to fourth number.

This means that the code is 1970.

After backing out of the close up of the plank, there is a gear wheel icon on it.

Use the ladder on the gear wheel on the plank. Climb the ladder by clicking the up-arrow on it. Carol sees the plank in close-up, this time from a higher perspective. Click the hand icon on it. Carol says ”I can’t use my bare hands.” The hand icon changes to a gear wheel icon.

Now, use the crowfoot on the plank while still standing on the ladder. Pick up the key from terrace that is revealed.

Use the key from terrace to open the door on the terrace which leads to the house.

Listen to Erik until he shows us a psalm board miniature, that goes into inventory.

While Erik urges Carol to interpret the miniature of the psalm board, take the fingerprint powder from inventory. Carol says ” What if I unscrew this, and let him have a taste of it.”, opens it, and throws its contents in Erik’s face.

While Erik is moaning, run past him on his right side, and leave the house.

When Carol gets to the map, she automatically calls the police: ”It’s time to call the police. I hope they’ll be able to pick up Erik somewhere in the vicinity”.

Enter the church room, and look at the psalm board at the right of the altar. Carol automatically takes a photo of the psalm board, which goes into inventory.
