February 2012

 

Carol’s home (1)

Carol is having a sleep-in, but has forgotten to turn off the alarm clock. Carol moans:  ”Oh no, I forgot to turn off the alarm clock.”

Click on the alarm clock to shut it off.

Get out of bed and go to the kitchen.

There’s a wallet on the kitchen table. Pick it up. Take the cash and look at the card about the Lunda Wheel.

Find your way to the living room. Carol’s mobile phone is on a charger on the floor in a corner of the room.

Unplug the phone and read the SMS from Carol’s friend Stina:

”Can you please drop by the kiosk? I have a favour to ask of you.”

Stina's kiosk appears on the map.

Carol comments ”That message must have arrived yesterday.”

Carol's mobile phone is added to the inventory.

Find Carol’s computer/TV room. Pick up the lipstick beside the computer monitor, and find out that it’s actually a ballpoint pen, which is added to the inventory.

Pick up the ballpoint pen refill beside the doll’s house.

In inventory combine the ballpoint pen refill with the ballpoint pen, and get a recently refilled ballpoint pen.

 

Carol’s allotment (1)

Pick up the keys in the allotment from the flower basket.

Use the keys to open the blue shed, and grab the hacksaw on the left wall.

Take a look at the rubber boat in the shed. Carol says: ”Stina gave me this rubber boat to use as a bird bath. I still haven’t figured out if she was joking.”

 

Stina’s kiosk

Look at the notice stuck on Stina’s kiosk.

 Carol says ”Accident? I must go to Stina at once.” Stina's home  appears on the map.

 

Stina’s home (1)

Carry out the conversation with Stina.

Stina’s attic (1)

Find room 8 at the end of the corridor.

There is a banana box on a high shelf. When trying to grab it, Carol says: ”I’m way too short.”

Take the toilet bowl in the same room.

Place the toilet bowl beneath the banana box to reach it.

Pick up the strange photo and the medical license from the banana box.

Carol reads the text on the medical license, and comments: ”That is  Stina’s grandfather’s name.” and ”There should be more information about this medical license somewhere.”

Look at the lower right corner of the license and see that the license was issued by the Norrköping Board of Medicine”, which appears on the map.

There is also a metal box with numbers on in the banana box. It cannot be opened at this stage.

 

The Board of Medicine

Talk to the clerk at the desk.

Repeat the question Can you please check for information about that medical license again?”

When the clerk turns to the computer, pick up the list on his desk.

Use the pen on the list and add Carol’s name.

A new question comes up, and the clerk will allow you to enter the archives.

Look at the door with the code lock. It can’t be opened yet.

Proceed forward and find the blue tin box. Look at it in close-up and pick up a desk key from it.

A jacket hangs to the left of the shelf with the blue tin box. Walk to the other side of the room to reach the right pocket of the jacket. Search the pocket and find a drawing of 4 hands.

Find a grey metal door which leads to another room. Examine the desks at the right side of the room.

One desk contains some sticky stuff.  Pick it up.

At the end of the room you will find a locked desk. Open it with the key from the blue tin box. Pick up the sign language book.

The door with the code lock can now be opened. The code is 2567.

We are now inside the actual archives.

Read the paper inside the green map on the table.

There is a sheet of paper stuck between the box files on the shelf by the wall. Look at it. It has arrows relating to the letters C,F and M.

We can now open section M, using the information from the green map and the blue sheet of paper. You need to turn the handle twice to the right, then once to the left, and finally once again to the right.

 

Find box file 0460 and read what’s in it.

The ladder on the second floor leads to another floor. Climb the ladder.

As soon as you reach the next floor look closely at the floor in front of you. Pick up the loop bolt.

Enter the windmill and climb the ladder.

Go to the inner half of the top floor, turn around 180 degrees and look up.

Below the enormous brake wheel there is a small red pouch of some kind.

The pouch contains a rusty key to the Eastern windmill.

There is a bird’s nest on the floor. Pick up the ring from it.

 

Carol’s home (2)

Put the diskette in her computer which stands on the floor in the computer/TV room. Carol comments: ”It’s a 3.5-inch diskette. I still have one of those drives. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to play some of my older games.”

Read the text displayed on the monitor from the diskette.

 Carol says: ”So there’s one more windmill.”

Someone attacks Carol from behind!

The Eastern windmill (3)

Go back to the Eastern windmill and mend the ladder on the second floor using either the planks or alternatively the hammer and nails – from inventory. If Carol says ”I think I need something else too.” you have missed  picking up either the hammer and nails from Broxtowe, or the planks from the Loredum Stones area.

Climb the ladder to get to the top floor.

As soon as you get to the top floor you see some symbols on the wall and a nail above them. Look at it in close-up, and hang the transparent film from inventory on the nail.
