    Stuck forever

    I'm stuck for days in this game ; after having dialled the phone number I went to the restroom,washed hands, was knocked out by the thug, stole the guard's access card, but no briefcase can be found anywhere... It is suppose to be in the restroom but no sign of it... Is there any bug? Thanks

    Hello landries!
    The briefcase is one of the non-linear parts of the game, so you don't have to find it. This part will be very important in the second episode - there will be different part of the story if you find and give back this briefcase, or not in the first episode.

    SPOILER
    Try to click on the lowest part of the last cabin (next to the window) in the restroom.
    SPOILER END

    Regards,
    The Moonwalls.

    Safe combination - can't make it open

    Hi Marcin, really like the game and looking forward to the next one! In the meantime can you help me with opening the safe? I have the numbers and have tried to be VERY precise when I'm doing it but it just doesn't open. The numbers on the dial are so small and I'm usually on a train myself when I'm doing it so perhaps I am slightly shaking, I don't know! I often find when I place it carefully on the last number, when I lift off my finger it slightly jumps which is very annoying. BUT, even so, I have managed to get it directly on each number and it still doesn't open.

    I had a problem with the clock earlier on but somehow, kind of randomly it seemed, after trying about 10 times, it seemed to accept the right time and progress the game. I haven't had any other trouble with gameplay but I'm on OS 3 so maybe that's why?

    Can you suggest anything to try? It would be a shame to not be able to finish.

    Thanks!

    Hello angbrown!
    I'm glad that you enjoy our game!
    If you try to open the safe, and make a mistake, you don't have to start over. I'll try to explain it - there is an attribute called "Safe", if this attribute = 3 then the safe opens. When you turn safe to the first position (SPOILER 13 left SPOILER END), this attribute changes to 1, then when you turn it to the next position (SPOILER 3 right SPOILER END), it changes to 2, and when you turn it to the third position (SPOILER 9 left SPOILER END), it changes to 3 and the safe is opened. If you turn safe to the first position, and then make a mistake, the attribute stays on the last value (so, in this example - 1). You can try to set the safe as many times as you need to - but if you leave the safe, then you will have to start over.
    You should remember about these things:
    1. If the first combination is for example 12 right, you have to turn the safe to 12 clockwise. And if the second combination is 2 left, you have to turn it to 2 counter clockwise.
    [​IMG]
    2. If you make a mistake, your combination doesn't reset. So if you make a mistake in the second step, you don't have to make the first step again (as long as you don't leave this scene).

    Game was tested also on iOS 3, and it worked fine. In the watch puzzle you have to be VERY precise.

    Regards,
    The Moonwalls.

    Still can't make it open!

    Hi Marcin

    Thanks for detailed reply. I can't see how I could be doing it wrong but it's just not opening. Is it necessary to have done previous things for it to be able to open? Could I be moving the dial too quickly/slowly? Do I need to pause on the number for a length of time? I can't think of anything else...

    Hello Ang,
    You can move the dial as fast as you wish, but you should release your finger after you turn it to the right position. Excuse me, but I completely forgot to write about it before :eek: So:

    SPOILER
    13 left, RELEASE your finger, 3 right, RELEASE your finger, 9 left, RELEASE your finger - safe opened.
    SPOILER END

    Hope that helps!

    Regards,
    The Moonwalls.

    That's it!

    It worked! I didn't think to lift my finger up in between numbers!

    Thanks for your help :)

    Hey I appreciate the update,
    I saw you have 3 - 4 threads about The Train, and almost 90% of the post is by yourself.

    How about if next time you go easy on the thread bumping and give a chance to other developer to showcase their work ?

    I think almost everyone in here already know about The Train :)

    Yes, indeed we have 4 topics related to The Train episode 01:
    1. This, main topic.
    2. Topic on iPhone and iPod Touch Games forum, made by ImNoSuperMan. Link

    Hello striped212!

    If you have the newest update (1.3), you are able to turn on the hint system. During the game you have to touch the gear in the down right corner, and in the In-Game menu click the Hint button.
    Hint 1 is always a small hint, and the Hint 2 is a walkthrough.
    To read about the Emperor's name, you should enter the Hint menu at the State Police Department.

    If you still need help, here is the direct answer:

    SPOILER
    His name is Gregorius.
    SPOILER END

    Regards,
    The Moonwalls.

    Hello!

    SPOILER
    Pencil is in the red room on the first floor. Check behind the piece of wood with a tree on it. There is a safe, and in the safe there is pencil and some other things.
    SPOILER END

    The Moonwalls.
