It has been excellently and almost uniquely devised for a non-linear game so that the player can get help at EVERY stage of the game without revealing future gameplay. ****** But if you so desire --- carry on ! ******
FOREWORD
{A} This walkthrough describes ALL the actions which you must take in order to succeed. However also included are 3 activities which are not ESSENTIAL to completing the game --- these are included and described without any differentiation since they are well worth playing. However, please
don’t use this walkthrough unless you absolutely have to. Some
aspects which are not absolutely imperative have been omitted.
A lot of these are interesting and provide much of the background
story to the game, and particularly to the fascinating (and artistic)
character, scenery and history of Norrköping
… a relatively small town in {B} “Warning”:- The main purpose of this game is to examine items, interview people, view the interesting sights and scenery, and generally ‘act the tourist’, etc. . If you simply take this walkthrough in your hand and follow exactly what to do and not to do, you can probably finish the game fairly quickly. However that would completely defeat its whole purpose! {C} The
walkthrough does not do justice to “ There is a lot of interesting history and material in Norrköping, a small but quite important city whose population is a little under 100,000 and whose original roots date back to the 14th century, or earlier! {D} This is a first-person game and much of the intricacy and pleasure lies in browsing around … and as aforementioned there is a lot of that. I personally frequently ‘got lost’ looking for some location or object (even occasionally inside a residence!), and sometimes after finding it, lost my way again on returning in order to continue the game. {E} “ However there IS one main puzzle for some players which runs right throughout the game. It is the necessity to ramble around (maze-like) without losing one’s way and getting frustrated due to this. Generally, the player is only told where to go, but not exactly how to get there! Where this is somewhat more tricky, simple descriptive hints are given to help in orientation. But there are some locations where this may not be sufficient for some players. In those cases this walkthrough contains exact instructions such as:- Move right twice (R x 2); then move forward (F); then left three times (L x 3); then move forward five times (F x 5); and finally move right (R) again. KEY :- Right .…. Left ….. Forward (‘Up’) ….. Back (‘Down’). It is sometimes rather difficult to exit a location after having fulfilled all possible tasks there. However. since the location is now much better known, in this walkthrough, no detailed description is given as to how to exit. If the worst comes to the worst, the player is bound to stumble upon the large exit icon sooner or later. {F} Upon entering every new location, it is highly advisable to browse around as much as possible in order to explore the general layout. However, the walkthrough never tells you explicitly to do this! {G} You should most certainly NOT have to follow the same order of accessing locations as described in this walkthrough since the game is NOT linear and only one route is outlined here. There is a VER large number of permutations of routes, and it is almost impossible that any pair of players will follow exactly the same itinerary. In addition it is most likely that this walkthrough does not describe the best or even optimum route to play the game (and finish it completely)! Some locations of course will not appear on the map until you have completed certain tasks, and so a particular order is sometimes obligatory. Other than this, you are free to visit (&/or revisit) all locations as you wish ! {H} There is no need to describe ANY of the ‘mechanics’ &/or interface of the game. It is all contained in the Manual which is to be found in the “Black Circle” folder on your Hard Disc (after installing of course), and also as a shortcut in the same program group as the installed game. {I} There is no so-called ‘bad language’ or ‘adult material’. It is all first person and mouse driven point & click. There are full (and excellent) subtitles for ALL speech. {J} As in most games, it is easy to make a wrong or redundant move! So it is advisable to save frequently. There are 108 save-slots… in case anybody needs that many! Since each save is fairly small, saving and loading is reasonably fast, presenting little delay to progress. N.B. There are absolutely NO dead-ends or crashes in the game! {K} EVERY TIME you obtain items, they appear in your inventory. It’s always worthwhile observing each new inventory item by right clicking on it to get an excellent greatly enlarged picture of the item together with a very brief description of it. N.B. It is imperative to view, and sometimes to manipulate, some of the inventory items in close-up to complete the game. {L} There are no instructions in the walkthrough to close drawers, cupboards, cabinets, etc since the game ensures that you cannot continue if you do NOT!. {M} There are a number of puzzles in the game. Wherever there is an outright spoiler, I have inserted it in smaller print and a light green color that is not TOO easy to read, as follows:- Spoilers are inserted like this ……… I have done this deliberately since many players do not want to see spoilers unless absolutely essential.
The Walkthrough
~~~~~~ In the text, all objects which are acquired and entered into the inventory are written in bold-underlined-red. ~~~~~~ All objects which are taken & used from the inventory are written in bold-underlined-blue.
~~~~~~ Whenever and wherever a new location is added to the map, the event is marked in bold-dark-red --- generally in the form:- “…which is now added to the locations on the map”. ~~~~~~ N.B. ….. The first time you are about to access any location, it is displayed on the map in green. Every time after that in ordinary white.
~~~~~~ If you are not too acquainted with this type of Quest-Adventure game, play through the tutorial which will familiarize you with the controls and interface. **** Otherwise… skip it! **** [ 1 ] Home (Carol Reed’s apartment)

hole in the main gate of the foundry area. ***** Enter through it. There
are 3 entrances into the extremely large, complex, and spread out
foundry building itself. One possible entry cannot be entered immediately.
A second one can be entered, but never leads into the foundry
proper and hence is of no use in advancing the game at all. ***** Go
into the third entrance (Call it Entrance A). It is a large open double
door covered with yellow and blue graffiti. ***** If you have difficulty in finding that
Entrance A ---
From the first screen INSIDE the foundry grounds (i.e. after
going through the hole in the main gate:- go Fx5;
R; Fx2; R. ***** However, the ‘easiest’ entrance (Call
it Entrance B) is possibly the one nearest to the main gate. The only
way to make it accessible is to first EXIT through it --- after
which you can re-enter and exit it at will. In
order to do this, you have to travel inside the foundry
to this entrance, i.e. from -A to -B. ***** If you have difficulty in finding this useful
Entrance B --- From
the first screen INSIDE Entrance A (i.e. after going through the graffiti
door):- go Fx4; R; Fx2; L;

a big rectangular opening in one of the outside walls. **** Use the ladder to exit via the opening.
After you
have done this once, you can enter and exit that opening (Entrance B) whenever you like. N.B. You can
access any/every location in the foundry from either of the
2 entrances. One or the other
generally involves a shorter route than the other depending upon each
individual objective sought! ***** Enter the foundry
itself through Entrance B. ***** Walk forward and right
(once each only). ***** You are in front of
a huge oven affair. One door
is wide open and the other has a red graffiti ‘word’ “PLOP” (or similar)

additional location has been added to the locations on the map ---
the Train Repair Depot. Important Note:- Carol must have read about the Madonna Cult in the library
before accessing this notice board --- ( See [ 16 ] ). ***** Exit the foundry building --- You are
very close to Entrance B and only have to walk a half dozen or so
steps to exit the building. ***** Go to Entrance A. ***** Walk to a large opening without doors.

most gruesome murders in Norrköping’s history
might finally be unveiled. It all started
when Miss Reed took an interest in the disappearance of Edvin
Vergerus, whose mutilated body was found
in the Norrköping River last week. Among Edvin Vergerus’ belongings, Miss
Reed found several clues that led her to the brothers Abel and Joss
Kant, who were ritually murdered in 1996. Their employer, and leader
of the so called Madonna cult and owner of the Berling
Foundry, Hugo Berling, was arrested by the police as the sole suspect for
the murders. He died from a heart attack before the trial started.
Since he didn’t deny the crimes, and there was no other suspect, the
murders were considered solved by the police, and no other investigations
were conducted. Miss Reed’s investigations
led her to a hidden letter at the Berling
Foundry from Joss to Abel Kant, which led her to conclude that the
Kant brothers were local drug pushers. The letter revealed a secret
location in the old foundry, where the brothers had hidden 500 grams
of cocaine. The letter also divulged that a man named Ben Dorner
was trying to compete with the brother’s drug business. This was where
the parallel factors really started coalescing for Miss Reed. She had met the
very same Ben Dorner only days before, then
in the role of Edvin Vergerus’
parole officer. Edvin
Vergerus’ former girlfriend, one of Ben Dorner’s
acquaintances, had suggested that he’d take on the assignment of parole
officer. Miss Reed later
established that Ben Dorner was a (previously
unknown) member of the Madonna cult, and drug dealer, and that he
now used Edvin Vergerus for deliveries and
pickups. As Miss Reed’s
suspicions of Ben Dorner grew in many directions,
she managed to secure evidence that Hugo Berling
had given Ben Dorner keys to the back entrance
of the foundry on the day that Hugo Kant was murdered, working alone
in his section at the foundry. These facts alone
were enough to make Ben Dorner the prime
suspect for the murder, since Hugo Berling’s
possession of the keys would have been the prosecutor’s main argument. The day after
the murder of Abel Kant, his brother Joss was found murdered in his
home. His heart was later discovered in a chalice in a ceremonial
area used by the cult. This bizarre
episode was repeated 13 years later, when Edvin
Vergerus’ fingers were found in a secret vault close to another
area which was used by the cult for ritual ceremonies. Ben Dorner will not be charged for the murder of Edvin Vergerus, however. It has been determined
that Edvin Vergerus
died of an intravenous overdose of morphine and cocaine in the same
syringe (commonly known as a speedball) prior to being mutilated. It is most likely
that the state prosecutor will uphold the theory that Ben Dorner was going to move some narcotics by boat, probably
to the Norrköping harbor, and furthermore
that Edvin was going to deliver these narcotics. But Ben Dorner found Edvin Vergerus’ dead body at the pickup spot. Ben Dorner will still face several charges though: - The murders
of the Kant brothers. The statute of limitation period has not yet
expired. - Several drug
related charges. - Desecration
of a human corpse. Erik Bergman The End. 2009
