Thanks for this detail-- I'll have a look at your particular circumstance to see what the issue might be. Ought to be a quick patch. BTW, you won't need the kid's book. Have you gone above that screen to the tent yet and heard the conversation between the guards to the right of that screen?
Yeah, I heard the guards conversation although it didn’t really seem to tell me anything (and I already forget what was said, would be nice to be able to revisit clues…). I went to the tent of course, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to save. I removed the hubcap from the truck too. Have absolutely no idea how to progress from here. Any other clues you can give me? Otherwise I’m looking. Forward to the patch.
A conversation might not seem to contain much information at first, but that's not necessarily true. On the other hand, as the director points out in one radio call... sometimes these guards do like to yammer! The guards conversation was regarding UAPs, and the need to hunt them down in the woods if another one were to go down. Maybe there's a way to distract the guards and gain access to the fenced-in area using this clue and an object.
I'll upload a patch in the next hour. There is a little gift to you on the tent screen in the form of a new interact-able object. It will allow you to basically reset your inventory to zero (except if the key has already been used and is stuck in the truck lock. You won't be able to get the key back as it's no longer necessary.) This should allow you to proceed from your save point and collect any items afresh (such as the crowbar from inside the truck). Let me know how it works.
Ok the new patch works! However for some reason the path I was using to get to the upper left area with the ID card no longer works. The guard in the upper left spots me every time now no matter where I stand, so I can’t retrieve the ID again. Also after trying a lot of stuff it turns out I don’t know what your clue means still :(. I’m totally stumped. I feel like I’ve tried everything from using the crowbar on every guard to using the hubcap on everything else. No idea. The game also crashes if I try to use the crowbar on the guard in the lower left of the main area, so hopefully that’s not what I’m supposed to do.
Yes-- that guard was actually never supposed to allow intruders past. We had to have a strict talking to him before this latest patch and now he's promised us that no one will be getting through as easily as in the past. You're going to have to find the intended way to gain access to that upper area from now on... as it was originally designed. But don't worry about that just yet. That's for later. I'll update the devlog to indicate that change as well in the event others were sneaking past that lazy guard.
There is an object you have which might resemble a UAP... no? Maybe you could use that...
And don't get too violent with that crowbar! :D I'll check out the instance of crowbar-crashing you mentioned.
Haha ok I’ve made some progress. Stumped so far at this code door, have no idea what to do or how to even use it. You don’t need to tell me, but I figured I’d mention it looks like it’s leaving behind some artifacting of the 2nd tile for the finger (presumably a draw issue on the non-player tile)
(Edit: I figured out the puzzle so definitely no need to tell me lol)
