    I was able to now. I was one of those that sent an email, but I assumed we were to download the files on our computer, dra into itunes and synch. Maybe other testers made the same mistake?

    Yeah, at first I tried to download it to my computer but after your instructions I got it working. As some of the posters above, i'm also stuck on the first puzzle

    Yeah I had some problems but I was doing it from my desktop and not my iPhone and in the end I was about to download it.

    So any help on the first puzzle?

    Regarding the first puzzle although I don't have a solution, below is what I have so far. Let me know if anything else.

    - The intro discussion mentions the character has been away 8 years (this is mentioned 4 times so must be important) and that he left when he was 13.
    - Engineer Felix states the lock combo is a graduation date.
    - The yearbook title reads "Yearbook 2, March Pierre 34, Saint Troite Elementary School"
    - I googled March Pierre. The best indication I got was that perhaps March Pierre is a character name. Originally I though March was a month (03).
    - I can not find a year the game occurs (originally thinking the yearbook was from 1934).
    - Combinations 1934-1950 do not seem to work work, nor doe 1834-1850. 0234 also does not work.
    - Given variants of the date format I assume the lock answer will be a full year date (i.e. 2011) excluding date/month.

    That is pretty much my exact thought pattern (and attempts) so far.

    I am now assuming the lock combo must be in the range of 1800-2000 so will test each of these 200 digits until something clicks, here's to hoping.

    That's dedication. Well let us know if something works. I certainly hope more testing time is given if nobody figures this out. Although from the first five minutes of cutscenes and basic gameplay, I can see this has some really great production quality. I was actually interested in the story, even though i was never one for puzzle story games.

    Combinations between
    1700-2000 do not work
    . I am now thinking it must
    not be a numerical year
    , unless the game is
    based in 1600s which seems unlikely.

    Regarding Saint Troite,
    aside from in-game mention there is no actual Saint Troite.

    Edit: Also checked game trailer on first post and facebook screenshots for spoiler hints regarding lock puzzle but nothing.

    Unless I missed something,
    1500-1600 doesn't work either.
    . Now I'm getting pissed off. :(

    So now my inclination is that the combination is a month followed by the year. Example: 0334 or something like that that indicates match 1934. This is because Felix says the combination is the graduation date, not the graduation year

    No combination of numbers
    ending in --34 work either
    .

    Found the solution to the first yearbook lock combo puzzle!

    If you want a hint then
    use a date format with a 2 digit year followed by month and day.

    If you just want to know the answer it's
    3432
    .

    It's an awkward puzzle
    because not every culture puts the year first in dates or keeps the same numerical arrangement
    so I'd recommend revising it in the final game.
    I guess the "yearbook 2, march" means march 2nd.

    Thanks to Watabou for the pointer!

    I've just realized that this is one excellent game. I've just
    unlocked the count's study with the dice. Kinda hard but if you need help, just listen to what Alberto says.
    . The story is awesome.

    Aside from the difficulty at times, this has a pretty amazing story so far and seems to be a great game.

    So now I'm on Chapter 4 and stuck on
    the optical illusion push panel. I know L and R mean left and right but I don't know what to do with the numbers. Can I get some hints on how to solve this please?

    Unfortunate that the name changed.

    I really like the allusion to the Island of Dr. Moreau.
