Chapter 1: Introductions
| Where is everyone? |
| When you and Kimi get to your room, she suggests that you obtain an item that would help you find your way around. |
| There is a lodge brochure in the curio cabinet's drawer. |
| Type the following text parser commands: "Open drawer", "Search drawer", "Take lodge map", "Look at lodge map." |
| Visit all the rooms on the map and type "Talk to people" (or their names) when you meet someone! |
| How can I make time pass after dinner? |
| After dinner, Mr. Richards suggested something you can do to help out. That would pass the time! |
| You can pass time in the kitchen, if you make yourself useful. |
| Go to the kitchen and type "help Jack". |
| How can I listen at the boudoir door? |
| Walk up to the door and type “listen”. Nancy has an idea about that! |
| Mr. Richards is in the conservatory, you can “ask about listening”. |
| You can also ask him about glasses, if you’re not sure where to find one! |
| The drinking glasses are in the upper cupboard to the right of the stove. |
| Are there conversations I can miss? |
| Yes! Sometimes characters will mention they will be meeting somewhere to chat later. You can also try wandering around the lodge a bit during different points in the game, especially near doors. You may stumble into a conversation! |
| Nathan and Evan mention during their conservatory conversation that they will meet in the study after dinner. |
| Maybe you can find a place to conceal yourself in the study after dinner! |
| Enter the study right after dinner and type "hide behind tapestry." |
| Nessa and Corvus also have a couple conversations in the bar after dinner. |
| One of Nessa's and Corvus' conversations in the bar happens right after dinner. You need to find a good place to listen! |
| You can listen to the conversation from the hallway if you open the door and type "Listen" near the doorway. |
| You can listen to the second conversation right after you help Jack with the dishes. |
| Are there fun things I can miss ? |
| Yes! Did you try taking a shower in the pink bathroom at the end of the hall? |
| To shower: Walk up to the bathtub, type "turn on water", "pull valve", and "remove clothes". Don't forget to lock the door! |
| You can "spin" in the chair in the study after you've sat upon it. Seconds of frivolity! |
| You can "drink whisky" in the dining room, but please enjoy responsibly! |
| You can "take almonds" in the parlour. You can also try giving them to the other characters. |
| You can tell the other characters about mineralogy and geology! |
| You can ask the other characters all sorts of questions: Guests, parents, continent, land claim, inn, and more! |
| Can you find the blue cup in the game, which is the logo for Adventure Game Studio (the engine The Crimson Diamond is made with!)? |
| The blue cup/mug is in the cupboard closest to the west wall. "Examine mug" after you've taken it to see the version number of AGS I'm using! |
