She's an author, but she spends most of her time dealing with ghosts who need help moving on to the afterlife. Joey Malone: Joey is Rosa's spirit guide. He has a smart mouth, and it seems that he's from the 1930's. Joey can't move too far away from Rosa. Ryan: The first ghost that Rosa and Joey meet in this game. He has a bit of a temper. Jeremy Sams: One of Rosa's old co-workers. They worked at a newspaper together, and Jeremy calls Rosa out of the blue to ask for her help in writing an article. City Post Receptionist: The receptionist at the City Post is not very friendly to Rosa, and she refuses to let Rosa retrieve Jeremy's notes. Detective Durkin: A police detective, who is assigned to investigate the deaths of Jeremy Sams and Jamie Graham. Since Rosa is investigating those deaths as well, she meets him a few times. Madison Haines: The daughter-in-law of Penelope Haines. She is not on good terms with Penelope, and she tries to hinder Rosa's investigation of Penelope. Chris Haines: A small baby who can see Joey. Seagram Assisted Living Receptionist: A receptionist who helps Rosa find Penelope Haines. Penelope Haines: An elderly woman who hates her relatives. She knows Jeremy, and she has been brainwashed by Gavin. Danny Marconi: An elderly man who knows Joey Malone. Joey doesn't want to talk to him, and he doesn't want to tell Rosa about him. Gavin: A shadowy figure, who is somehow connected to many of the deaths in this game. He is very good at convincing people to do whatever he wants. Lisa Tensin: A fake psychic, who tries to scam people that come into her store. She sometimes sends her customers to Gavin, according to an arrangement she has with him. Jamie Graham: A college student, who comes from a small town and who was overwhelmed by life in a big city. Jamie's life went downhill once she started going to a nightclub all the time and doing drugs. Seb: Jamie's ex-boyfriend. They broke up when she told him that she was doing drugs. Professor Elaine Appleton: Rosa's former professor and Jamie's current professor. Professor Appleton teaches a writing course. Tiffany Walters: A morose woman whose obsessive behavior ruined her life. Rachel Abu: Tiffany's friend and former co-worker. She hasn't heard from Tiffany, ever since switching jobs. Sterling Temp Placement Worker: The worker from Sterling Temp Placement is an unfriendly sort, who does not want to tell Rosa about Tiffany Walters. Ken Sharpe: A man who was having an affair with Tiffany Walters. He tried to end things with her, but she became obsessed with him. Madeline: A ghost that Joey knows. She helps him during the endgame sequence. 003-Walkthrough --------------------------------------------------------- 003a-On the Yacht --------------------------------------------------------- The game starts with our heroes, Rosangela Blackwell (Rosa for short) and Joey Malone, climbing onboard a yacht. They've been hired to investigate the yacht, which is being steered by a ghost. Joey is a ghost, and you can switch between Rosa and Joey by pressing the tab button. Try this out now, and have Joey examine the carving on the side of the ship, in the lower/right area. Rosa can't see it, but because Joey can float, he can see it perfectly. The carving reads "Ryan and June". Interesting. There are two doors on the yacht. One is on the downstairs level, and one is upstairs. If Rosa tries to go through the upstairs door, she gets stuck because it's locked. That's not a problem for Joey, though. He can float through the door whenever he wants. When Joey goes through the top door, or when Rosa goes through the bottom door and turns on the lights, the ship comes to life with a jolt. Joey and Rosa go back to the main deck of the ship to see that it's now moving. Go upstairs as Joey. He sees the ghost responsible for the problems on the yacht. It's Ryan, and he's not friendly. Whenever Joey tries to talk to him, he shoots Joey. In the upstairs room, have Joey use his breath power on the key, near the door. Do this twice, and he'll move the key near the vent on the floor. Also as Joey, examine the diagram on the wall, which is made up of circles and letters. That's a clue to an upcoming puzzle, where you need to spell out the name "JUNE". You might want to jot down the diagram on a piece of paper, so you don't forget it. Joey can't do anything else here in the upstairs room, so go to the downstairs room as Rosa. Turn on the lights if you haven't already, and examine the vent in the ceiling, the one above the bed. The keys are near the vent, but Rosa can't open it. Use the dime in Rosa's inventory on the vent, and she opens it. Left-click on the vent, and Rosa puts her hand through. Click on the key, and Rosa grabs it. Now she can go upstairs. Before then, go left. There's a knotty pine wall, with interesting knots. In fact, the layout of the knots matches the diagram in the upstairs room. Time to spell out "JUNE", by pressing the four knots that represent the letters in her name. | | | |U | | |S| I| | | | | |N| | | |E| |A |J| |Q| Once you press the J, U, N and E knots, in that order, a hidden compartment opens, containing a lot of money. Examine the money to learn that it all comes from GCT. That's all you can do here, downstairs. Leave the room, and use the key on the upstairs door. Rosa goes in, and Ryan shoots her, but the bullets do no damage because he's a ghost. Rosa talks to Ryan for a bit. He's worried about a bank and the police, but he eventually decides that Rosa is a harmless stowaway. At this point in the game, Rosa has a lot of information. The game wants you to learn how to use Rosa's phone, to process this information. It's pretty simple. Click on the phone in her inventory. Rosa's phone has email, an Internet search engine called Oogle, and her case notes. Examine the case notes now. You can click on one of the notes to read about it. You can also click on two different notes, and Rosa will try to make a connection between them. For example, try making a connection between the bank Ryan fears and GCT. Rosa figures that GCT could be a bank. A quick Internet search reveals that GCT is the Grant City Trust. Open the Oogle Internet browser, and search for "Grant City Trust". It was robbed by a disgruntled employee named Ryan, who died in a police shootout. Talk to Ryan. Consult Rosa's notes and pick the bank robbery. Ryan will admit that he robbed the bank, and he says he's not stopping the yacht until he's safe in Boston. Well, he's currently near the New York border, so it's probably going to be a while before he reaches Boston. Whenever you ask Ryan where you are, he examines the map. Move Joey near the map, and it starts going haywire. Ask Ryan to check the map again. Hopefully, the map now says that you're in Boston. If not, ask him to check the map again. Joey makes the map spit out random locations, and eventually, one of the locations that gets spit out is Boston Harbor. Once Ryan thinks he's in Boston, he goes outside to look. Follow after him, then talk to him. Ryan notices that he is not, in fact, in Boston. With some prompting from Joey and Rosa, Ryan realizes that he is dead. Ryan goes back inside. Now that Ryan is ready to move on, you can use the tie in Joey's inventory on him. Ryan and Rosa go through the portal, leading to the next world. Ryan talks for a little bit about his wife and the bank robbery. Rosa goes back to the normal sphere of existence. It seems that the yacht is going completely out of control. Oh no! Ryan sabotaged it, so no one could get the two million dollars inside! Quickly, go outside and left-click on the gap near the back of the boat. Rosa jumps off, shortly before the boat crashes into the New Jersey Harbor. Rosa and Joey then return home, slightly saddened by the fact that they won't get paid for their work that night. The opening credits then roll. 003b-Jeremy Sams --------------------------------------------------------- After the opening credits, we see Rosa and Joey in her apartment. Rosa gets a phone call from one of her old friends, Jeremy Sams. They used to work together as writers for a local newspaper, before she quit. He's now working for the City Post, and he has a nasty cold, so he wants Rosa to help finish writing an article for him. Leave Rosa's apartment, and a "where to?" screen pops up. Select Jeremy's apartment. Rosa and Joey go inside, where they are surprised to learn that Jeremy is a ghost. Talk to him about everything. Just like Ryan, Jeremy is in denial about his death. He thinks his death is just a cold. Jeremy wants Rosa to pick up his notes at the City Post. That's not too difficult. Leave the apartment, then select the City Post as your destination. Talk to the receptionist here. She doesn't want to let a stranger into Jeremy's office to get his notes. When Rosa tries to explain that Jeremy is dead, the receptionist becomes suspicious and upset. It's clear that Rosa won't be able to go inside the offices. Switch to Joey, and have him go through the door on the upper floor. This is where Jeremy's office is. Jeremy's cubicle is the one in the middle of the screen. Joey can't interact with any of the objects here, because he's a ghost. In fact, there's only one things Joey can do, and that's look at the post-it note on the computer. Read the post-it note to learn that Jeremy went to the High Line. Fortunately, Rosa knows where that is, so leave the City Post, then go to the High Line. A police detective is there, investigating a crime scene. Talk to the detective. Rosa is pretty sure that Jeremy is the person who was killed here. The detective doesn't know who she is, and he finds it rather strange that she claims to know the murder victim, without having seen him. When she offers to identify the body, he refuses. Leave the High Line and return to Jeremy's apartment. There are photographs on a desk here. Look at them, and you find an old photo of Rosa and Jeremy, from six years ago. Examine the photo, and then take a copy of it. Return to the High Line. Show the photograph to Detective Durkin. The picture shows that Rosa and Jeremy know each other. He gives Rosa his phone number, in case she has questions, then he decides to investigate the lead that Rosa gave him: Jeremy's workplace, the City Post. Go to the City Post. The receptionist has spoken with Detective Durkin, so now she knows that Jeremy is dead. She agrees to let Rosa inside Jeremy's office. Take the elevator upstairs, then go into the office. In the office, there is a press pass on the left, near the window. Make sure to pick that up. Also, pick up the journal, next to Jeremy's computer. Rosa will read it. Look at all the various entries, to learn bits of information, like the fact that Jeremy lost his phone after someone tried to scam him and the fact that Jeremy was investigating a woman named Penelope Haines. Leave the City Post, then go to Jeremy's apartment. Once you read his notebook, you can talk to him about Penelope Haines. Jeremy wants you to talk to her, yourself. He gives Rosa the address to the Haines residence. Leave the apartment, then go to the Haines'. Rosa meets Madison Haines, the daughter-in-law of Penelope. Madison says they put Penelope in a nursing home, and when the conversation is over, Rosa leaves. You are given the option of sending Joey inside the apartment, once Rosa leaves. Have Joey go in, and make him go inside the bedroom. This is Penelope's room, and it's rather empty, besides for a pretty peridot pendant. Read the brochure on the dresser. It's for a nursing home called Seagram Assisted Living. Leave the Haines' now, and go to the Seagram Nursing Home. As Rosa, talk to the receptionist. Unlike the one at City Post, this receptionist is rather friendly. She tells you where to find Penelope, and she lets you go inside. So, take the elevator to the second floor. Talk to Penelope. She is somewhat odd, in that she talks about other realities and things like that. Talk to her about everything, then leave. When you do, the old man in this room briefly recognizes Joey. Joey is quite disturbed by this, and he refuses to talk about it. Return to the Haines' residence. Rosa will talk to Madison about Penelope. Madison will say that Penelope used to be a more normal person, but she was recently brainwashed by a cult leader named Gavin. Gavin pretends to be a spiritual advisor, but it seems that he is nothing but a glorified scam artist. After meeting with Gavin, Penelope changed her will so everything went to Gavin, and nothing went to the Hainses. Madison says that she gave a key to Penelope, and the key is in Penelope's room. Return to the Seagram Assisted Living, then go to the second floor. Talk to Penelope. She sings the praises of Gavin's spiritual work, and she claims that she never got a key from Madison. Penelope says that if you get her peridot, she'll tell you more about Gavin. Click on the ball of yarn on the table in front of Penelope. Rosa takes a piece of string from it. Then, go downstairs. If you haven't done so already, talk to the receptionist about Seagram Assisted Living, then take a brochure. Use the string on the brochure to get a sliding brochure...kind of. The receptionist now has a yellow chart in front of her. Earlier, she didn't have this. Use Joey to read the chart, and he discovers that Penelope lives on the twelfth floor. Take the elevator to the twelfth floor. Use the brochure and string on the door, and Rosa slides it under the door. Then, as Joey, go through the door. Use Joey's breath on the brochure to slide it, then use Joey's breath on the key to the Haines', which is on the chair in this room. The key falls on the brochure. Rosa can now pick up the brochure and take the key. If you make a mistake in solving this puzzle, you can use the game's autosave feature to reload, or you can talk to the receptionist about Penelope's room. The receptionist sends someone to clean the room, thereby resetting the puzzle. Now that you have the key to the Haines', go there. Madison opens the door. Talk to her about everything. She refuses to give the peridot to Rosa, and then, Madison, her husband, and Chris the baby leave to go to dinner. Time for Rosa to break into the Haines' apartment. After they leave, use the key on the door. Rosa opens the door and goes inside. Go into Penelope's bedroom, then pick up the peridot pendant. When Rosa tries to leave, the Hainses suddenly return. Oh no! Rosa can't leave the apartment as long as they're here! Switch to Joey and move him to the main room. Use Joey's breath on the thermostat to turn it up. Madison will then open the door to the left, in order to offset the higher temperature. Have Joey talk to the baby. The baby can see Joey, and it will now follow Joey around. Have Joey leave through the now-open door on the left, and the baby goes there. Madison soon follows, leaving the main room empty. Switch to Rosa, and have her exit this area, while Madison is gone. Return to Seagram Assisted Living. Go to the second floor and give the peridot pendant to Penelope. Now, when you ask her about Gavin, she gives you the address of Lisa Tensin. Lisa was Penelope's contact person for Gavin. Go to Lisa's area. Lisa is a street psychic. Ring the buzzer to talk to her. She lets Rosa in, and she tries to scam Rosa into buying a $200 candle. Lisa doesn't want to talk about Penelope or Gavin or Jeremy. Rosa will eventually leave Lisa's office. If you remember, Jeremy's notes say that he lost his phone, shortly after Lisa tried to scam him. That means Jeremy's phone is probably somewhere close by. Use Rosa's phone to call Jeremy's phone, and it starts ringing in the trashcan. Go through the trashcan to find Jeremy's phone. Then, return to Jeremy's apartment and show him the phone. Jeremy becomes confused because he already has his phone...right? Jeremy leaves for the High Line, upset. Follow him there, and you find Jeremy, staring at the chalk outline on the ground. Talk to him, and Jeremy realizes that he's dead. Jeremy is ready to move on now, so use Joey's tie on Jeremy. Rosa leads Jeremy to the afterlife, and the two of them say goodbye. Return to Lisa's. Since Rosa found Jeremy's cell phone in the trash can outside Lisa's, she has proof that Jeremy met Lisa. Press the buzzer outside Lisa's door, then go in and talk with her. Lisa tries to bluff her way out of things, and eventually, the conversation reaches a dead end, Rosa gives an impassioned speech, and Lisa throws her out. Rosa and Joey return to Rosa's apartment, where they decide to call it a night. The game skips to the next day. Return to Lisa's. Try talking to her through the buzzer. Lisa refuses to see anyone tonight, so you can't have a conversation with her. Darn. Send Joey inside Lisa's building. Have him move past the crystal ball room to another room, where Lisa is looking at a photograph. Have Joey examine the photograph. It's a picture of Danny Marconi, someone Joey knows. Send Joey back to Rosa, and he says that Danny is the old man from the nursing home. Return to Seagram Assisted Living, and ask the receptionist about Danny Marconi. She says that he died, earlier that day. Return to Lisa's, and this time, when you press the buzzer, mention Danny Marconi, then mention the fact that he's dead. Danny is Lisa's grandfather, and she seems to be upset about his death, which is why she closed her business today. Lisa wants to know how Rosangela knows Danny. Pick any of the options here, to learn that none of them convince her. Ask Joey for help, and after his first hint fails, he gives a lot of information about Danny. Lisa lets Rosangela inside. Go through the conversation with Lisa. Lisa thinks Rosa is part of an organization that is related to Gavin. Lisa gives Rosa the names of two women: Jamie Graham and Tiffany Walters. These are the last two people that Lisa sent to Gavin, besides for Jeremy. Rosa now investigates Jamie and Tiffany. You can investigate them in either order, and you can investigate them simultaneously. There's really only one thing which overlaps between the two investigations, which is a clue on the noticeboard in Tiffany's apartment complex. 003c-Jamie Graham --------------------------------------------------------- Jamie lives at some sort of college. By coincidence, it's the same college that Rosa went to. Jamie's room is locked, so send Joey inside. Have Joey read the note on the backside of the door, which says "Remember Waterloo". Use Rosa's phone to look up Waterloo. That was a battle that took place in 1815. As Rosa, enter 1815 on the keypad on the door, and the door opens. Now Rosa can go inside. There are a few things in Jamie's room that are worth noting. First is the computer, which is locked with a password. Second is a poster on the wall, for Jamie's favorite band, Epileptic Fish. Third is Jamie's class schedule, on the whiteboard. Read Jamie's schedule to learn that she has Elaine Appleton for a professor. Elaine used to be one of Rosa's professors. Use Rosa's phone to look up Elaine Appleton, and Rosa gets her phone number. Call Elaine Appleton and talk to her about everything. Elaine says that Jamie was a good student, with a fondness for Middle Easter History. However, Jamie got mixed up with drugs and a nightclub called Munray's. Jamie's dead body was found, near the nightclub. Professor Appleton mentions Detective Durkin. Rosa still has his phone number, so call Detective Durkin. He agrees to meet Rosa at a caf�. Go to that caf�, and talk to him about Jamie several times. He reveals that Jamie never did drugs. Use Rosa's phone to look up Munray's, and Rosa will get the address for that place. Go there. Most of the people at Munray's don't want to talk to Rosa. Switch to Joey, and have him go to the VIP area, which is roped off. He meets Jamie, who is a ghost. She is not very friendly towards Joey, because he's an old guy. When he asks her to dance, she refuses, because the music isn't very good. Switch to Rosa. Next to the roped-off VIP area is a tablet device that controls the music in the club. Have Rosa use it, and type in "Epileptic Fish". That band's music starts playing. Switch to Joey. Now that Jamie's favorite band is playing, she's willing to dance with Joey. Go through the various conversations with Jamie. You'll notice that a few conversations won't go away: the conversation about Jamie's dog, and the three conversations about Jamie (her hometown, her interests and her studies at school). This is actually a dialogue puzzle. Joey needs to finish all three conversations with Jamie. For example, ask Jamie about her studies at school. Mention history, then mention Middle Eastern History. Professor Applegate said that Jamie liked Middle Eastern History, and she was right. Once Joey mentions that, Jamie becomes much more interested in the conversation. Now we just need to figure out the other two things-- Jamie's hometown and her interests. We can't figure that out here, though. Switch to Rosa and leave Munray's. Return to Jamie's dorm room. Go inside Jamie's room and use her computer. The password to the computer is "benji", without capitalization. Yes, she used her dog's name as a password. Read through all of Jamie's emails to learn that she broke up with her boyfriend Seb, once she started doing drugs. Seb likes to spend time at Munray's. The emails also reveal that Jamie is from Illinois, near Mattoon. Return to Munray's. The blonde man near the bar is Seb, Jamie's boyfriend. Talk to him about everything. He is not very talkative, and he is upset that Jamie was a drug user. Using Rosa's phone, connect the Coroner's Report (from Detective Durkin) with Jamie and Drugs (from Seb). Seb said that Jamie used drugs, but the coroner's report says otherwise. Talk to Seb again, and this time, ask him if he lied. Seb becomes upset when he hears that Jamie was only pretending to take drugs. Seb mentions that Jamie's favorite author was Ashbless, and then he leaves. Use Rosa's phone to look up Ashbless. The Internet says that Ashbless wrote a book called "Anubis at the Gate". That's all the information you need to solve the puzzle with Jamie. Switch to Joey and have him go back to Jamie. Since you read the email about Mattoon, Joey can mention it to her. Ask Jamie about her hometown, and choose the midwest. Then, choose Illinois. Then, choose Mattoon. Jamie is interested to meet someone who is from the same area as her. Finally, ask Jamie about what she does in her spare time. Mention books, then Robert Ashbless. After that, mention "Anubis at the Gate". Jamie becomes interested in this topic, and she recommends some other books for Joey to read. Once Joey finishes all three conversations about Jamie--the one about her hometown, the one about her studies and the one about her spare time--Jamie decides she's sick of Munray's, and she wants to leave. She kisses Joey, then exits. Return to Jamie's. Joey goes inside the room and speaks with Jamie. Jamie realizes that she's dead, and she reflects upon her life. Jamie says that Gavin is responsible for what happened to her, and then Rosa and Joey send her off into the afterlife. Rosa returns and speaks with Joey for a bit. Rosa wants to see Lisa again. Return to Lisa and tell her that Jamie is dead. Emphasize the fact that Gavin is responsible for Jamie's death. 003d-Tiffany Walters --------------------------------------------------------- When you first go to Tiffany's apartment complex, examine the buzzers on the left. It tells you that Tiffany is in Apartment 2, which is right through the door on the right. If you want, you can look at the noticeboard here. It talks about using your dog's name as a computer password, which is a hint for one of the puzzles concerning Jamie Graham. Send Joey through the door on the right to find out that Tiffany is a ghost. Talk to her and learn that she doesn't want to talk to Joey. There are two things in Tiffany's room to examine right now. The first is a photo on the bookshelf, which is of Tiffany and Rachel. The second is a letter on Tiffay's table. The letter is from STP, and it sounds vaguely threatening. Leave Tiffany's room. Now, examine her mailbox, which is in the bottom/right of the mailbox area. Joey can look inside, but it's too dark to read anything. Switch to Rosa. Her glow-in-the-dark business cards should take care of things here! Use one of her cards on Tiffany's mailbox, then have Joey look inside again. He sees a letter from R. Abu. Switch to Rosa. Using her phone, connect the notes on Rachel with the notes on R. Abu. Rosa figures that R. Abu is actually Rachel Abu. Do an Internet search for Rachel Abu, and you learn that she is at the local cafe. Leave now and go to the caf�. Rachel is working as a barista. Talk to her about everything, especially the things dealing with Tiffany. Rachel mentions that Tiffany was obsessed with a man named Ken, and she says the two of them worked at the same temp agency. Using Rosa's phone, open up the cast notes. Connect STP with temp agency. Rosa learns that STP is really Sterling Temp Placement, and she writes down where that place is. Leave the caf� and go to Sterling Temp Placement. The man here doesn't want to talk about Tiffany at all, not even when Rosa pretends to be a reporter for the City Post. Return to Tiffany's place. Send Joey to talk to her about Sterling. She says that they terminated her contract, but she doesn't say much else besides that. Return to Sterling Temp Agency. Show the City Post press pass to convince the man that Rosa is a reporter for a popular newspaper. Then, talk to the man about everything, especially Tiffany's terminated contract. Eventually, you get the option to blackmail him. Rosa pretends that she will write something nasty about Sterling Temp Agency, unless he tells her what happened to Tiffany. The man says that Tiffany was sent as a temp to a man named Ken Sharpe. After the job was finished, she became obsessed with Ken and started stalking him. That's why STP terminated her contract and sent her the nasty letter. Rosa leaves the temp agency. Go somewhere else, and use her phone to look up Ken Sharpe. He works at Sharpe Sounds, and Rosa takes note of the address. Leave and go to Sharpe Sounds. It is through the doors on the left. Go through the doors, then talk to Ken about Tiffany and Sterling Temp Agency. Even when Rosa prompts him, Ken says he doesn't remember any Tiffany. When the conversation is over, Rosa leaves. Send Joey into Sharpe Sounds. There is something inside Ken's desk, but it's too dark to see. A phone is there as well. Switch back to Rosa. Have her go to the doors on the right. There's a note on the door, saying that Ken has Becca's phone. Read the plaque to learn that Becca is Gal Friday, of Gal Friday Publishing. Use Rosa's phone and do an internet search for Gal Friday. This gives you her phone number. Then, call Gal Friday's phone. Switch back to Joey. Now that the phone is ringing, there is enough light to read the letter in the drawer. It's a love letter from Tiffany. Switch back to Rosa and have her hang up the phone. Re- enter Sharpe Sounds and confront Ken. Go through all the dialogue options here. Ken tells the whole story about him and Tiffany. He and Tiffany had an affair together, and when he tried to call it off, she became obsessed. She even called him her "Turtledove". Return to Tiffany's apartment. Go through the door as Joey, then talk to her about Ken. Joey repeats some of the things that Ken said, but Tiffany refuses to believe it. Have Joey mention "Turtledove", which convinces Tiffany that he has met Ken. She then goes flying off to see Ken. Return to Sharpe Sounds. As Rosa, talk to Ken and have her confirm that things are over between him and Tiffany. Rosa does a good job of steering the conversation, so Ken is responding to Tiffany without even realizing it. Tiffany leaves, depressed. Leave the studio, then talk to her. She is unhappy about how she ruined her life, chasing after Ken, all because Gavin said to do so. Ah, so Gavin was behind Tiffany's death, too! Use Joey's tie on Tiffany. Rosa takes her to the afterlife, then Rosa returns to Joey. Our two heroes agree it's time to pay another visit to Lisa. Go to Lisa's and tell her that Tiffany is dead. Emphasize the fact that Gavin is responsible for Tiffany's death. 003e-Stopping Gavin --------------------------------------------------------- Once you finish the storylines about Jamie and Tiffany, return to Lisa and tell her the results of your investigations. When Lisa learns that Gavin killed Tiffany and Jamie, she becomes disturbed. She decides to leave town, but not before setting up a meeting between Rosa and Gavin. When Rosa leaves Lisa's business, she meets Gavin. He knows that Rosa has been investigating him, and he knows that Rosa has a spirit guide (Joey). Gavin knocks her unconscious with tranquilizer. When Rosa wakes up, she is tied up inside Lisa's house. It seems that Gavin is holding Rosa hostage for unknown purposes, and Lisa is Gavin's accomplice. As Rosa, talk to the door. This starts a conversation with Lisa. No matter what Rosa says, Lisa won't help her. Switch to Joey, then go downstairs. Gavin is on the phone, talking to an unknown person about Rosa. Click on Gavin, and Joey overhears the conversation. Gavin is speaking to his superiors about Rosa. He says that Rosa is the bestower they've been looking for, and that he knows exactly what to do with her. Gavin also mentions that he will take care of Lisa. Switch to Rosa, then talk to Lisa again. Tell her that Gavin plans on killing her. Lisa becomes upset, and Rosa convinces her to betray Gavin. Unfortunately for Rosa, Lisa doesn't betray Gavin by freeing Rosangela. She betrays Gavin by leaving through the fire escape. I guess that means it's up to us to escape. Use Joey's tie on Rosa, then pull her to the right twice. Pull her backwards, towards the cabinet. (You can't do this until Lisa leaves.) Then, use Joey's breath on the glass on the cabinet. It falls down and crashes into pieces. Switch to Rosa and have her pick up a piece of the glass. Use the glass on Rosa, and she cuts the ropes. Freedom! Go through the door to find... ...Gavin with his gun. Talk to Gavin if you want to. Once the conversation with Gavin is over, switch to Joey. Have him go downstairs, then left into Lisa's main room. Lisa is now a ghost. Talk to her about everything. She refuses to talk about Gavin, as well as her grandfather, Danny Marconi. Go right. Use Joey's breath on the photograph of Danny Marconi twice. The photo goes to the next room, the one with Lisa in it. Go back to the room with Lisa and talk to her about the photograph. Lisa reveals that her grandfather Danny always had regrets, because Joey Malone died to save his life. Joey forces Lisa to confront the fact that she's dead, and she leaves the room, upset. Go to the next room. Joey meets up with Rosangela, who has been brainwashed by Gavin. Rosangela takes Joey to the afterlife, then leaves before he floats through the portal going back to this world or the portal going to the next world. In other words, Rosa abandons Joey, leaving him stuck between the two planes of existence. There's a brief scene with Rosa and Gavin, and the game switches back to Joey. Amazingly, there is someone else here. Float right and Joey meets this person, Madeline. The two of them know each other, and Madeline is somewhat morose about the fact that she's been stuck here for years. Talk to Madeline about everything. Madeline goes into detail about the link between Joey and Rosa, which is slowly dissolving. Once the conversation is over, use Joey's tie on Madeline. After all, the tie is his link to Rosangela. Madeline is shocked to learn about this, and before the tie disappears, she uses it to send herself and Joey back to Earth. Madeline immediately leaves, but Joey doesn't have time to worry about her right now. It looks like Gavin is trying to kill Rosa by draining her energy, or something like that. Joey talks to Lisa about it briefly, but eventually, Lisa leaves, too. Gavin is surprised that Joey made it back to Earth, but he doesn't seem too worried, because Rosa is under his control. Click on Rosa to start the final puzzle of the game. This is a dialogue puzzle. What you want to do is insult Rosa at every turn. This makes her upset, and she fights back, a little at a time. When talking about Jeremy, say "good riddance". When talking about Jamie, say "you're nobody". When talking about Penelope, say "not a damn thing". When talking about Tiffany, say "you are no better". Once Joey insults Rosa and disagrees with her four times, Rosa manages to break free of Gavin's grip. Gavin dies and becomes a ghost, but he is not overly concerned, because he knows that he will return to his body soon. Lisa then returns and attacks Gavin. While the two of them struggle, use Joey's tie on them. Gavin, Lisa and Rosa get taken to the next world. Gavin is destroyed by some unknown force, and Lisa goes on to the next world. Rosa returns to Joey. The two of them are somewhat introspective, and they talk about where they're going with their lives. The business of finding different ghosts and helping them doesn't satisfy our heroes anymore. No, they want to do something else: stop the organization that Gavin was working for. Maybe then they'll find fulfillment. 004-Credits --------------------------------------------------------- This FAQ is copyright of The Lost Gamer, 2011.
