Mansion II

Wow. A very interesting and sometimes complex game. I thoroughly enjoy the details like the maps and the potions. Putting the computer together was awesome. I’m going to brag that I put it together without cheating. Basic computer hardware knowledge is actually helpful there.
The torture items were a bit eerie but an interesting puzzle.
I haven’t had time to play through the entire game but the first part of the game is almost flawless and very playable. You make mention at the beginning of the game or the faq (I forget where now) that you designed it to be more playable by clicking on the items, etc. You did a good job with that.
To be honest, I found one error so far. It was quite minor but I did notice it. In the cell at the beginning, if you take the cot, find the grille, solve the puzzle on opening the grille…..you leave the room and if you return, the cot can be moved again to reveal the grille again as if you had never seen it before.
That is the only error I can recall.
It wasn't exactly like playing the first Mansion game and playing the first Mansion game is not required to enjoy this one.
I score this puppy a:
5 out of 5

EDIT:
I completed the game. It is pretty good and it is compelling. I found a couple more errors but it was less than a handful. Since the intro to the game indicates that this was designed to utilize the inventory block, in other words, more mouse-friendly, I did not hold it against the author that certain details were not addressed in the rooms. For example, a room would describe that ivy is growing and there is a broken chair in the room. The available objects to interact with are the ivy and a broken chair leg. If you decide to type in commands and say “look at chair”, there is no chair.
In regular text games that would count against the score in my opinion. I may play this again and see if I can go through it without typing anything at all. I have a feeling that I can.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game.. The use of the chemicals was an excellent idea. I did complete the game though without readin the secret paper or opening the safe in the office. Were these extra?
Well done 5/5

I think this is a great game! However, lol, I am stuck and in need of help. I cant figure out how to activate a security card with clearance for area A. I cant use the freight elevator. I have tried everything I can think of. Can someone please help me. Thank you.

Really enjoyed playing this - puzzles were just at the right level. But found it really annoying that the text used "it's" where it should have used "its" (you don't write hi's or her's do you?) Also, once you are carrying a lot of stuff, you keep having to scroll down the inventory to find the flask and chemicals.

I escaped the island on the boat, but I didn't manage to expose the corporation. I'm sure it has something to do with getting evidence from the console, the scrap of paper and the safe. It's possible that the combination of the safe is written on the scrap of paper but I have not been able to figure out how to get the scrap of paper to 'reveal itself'. Can anyone help?

(I tried chucking it into the fireplace at the old house, but nope)

[Patch49]

As far as I remember (though it's a while now since I palyed it) you have to mix up the chemicals and find the one that, when poured over the paper, reveals the writing.

oh thanks very much! it works!

I'm stuck in the uncles old house. I dropped the flying duck in a cool room(apparently the wrong place) and now it won't let me pick it back up. Seems to be an error in the game because when I click "take flying duck" it says that I took it, but it's not in my inventory. Can't figure out what to do next =(

[blinarelli]

Without giving my the full answer can someone give me a hint on what do to with the duck? I've put it down in the rooms and whatnot but nothing works.
So far 5 out of 5 on this one!

It's been a while since I played, but if I recall correctly, you're on the right track putting the duck down in a room (you gotta get the right one). If you have put the duck down in the right room you need to return to a particular room (I think) for the game to move on. That is presuming you have done all the other things correctly.

[blinarelli]

I still can't figure out what to do with the duck. I'm usually pretty good at these things, but I've been on this for about a week. Help please!
