Help ! I've been stuck in the janitor room since first night ... When Rooter sniff the shelf, Ace says it gives an idea, but that's it. Unable to climb the shelf, unable to have Rooter walk past the crate ...

Can someone help me on that ?

Thx

So what you want to do is "talk to Rooter"... this will turn him into a chest you, as Ace, can pick up.
Pick him up, click him on the shelf.

Now go into the radial menu and control Rooter.

I will stop with hints for there and let you explore what happens next or what to try next.

Fantastic - I never thought of talking to him !

Reminds me when I was playing Sierra's quests 35 years ago and calling my friend a zillion time for hints !

Thank you for your help : )

Always glad to help! Post in here if you need more hints!

I was stuck on this for a good 30 minutes before I gave up and watched a gameplay video of the alpha on YouTube. I knew I needed to pick Rooter up, but every time I used the hand icon on him, Ace would grab his head. Who knew using the talk icon on Rooter would cause Ace to whistle at him, and that whistling at him would cause him to turn into a toolbox. *rolls eyes*

Edit: Toned down rant.

Yeah. I am hoping they do something before the actual game, that's kind of a tutorial.

Like where Ace is in his starting ship and something goes wrong. And the Narrator says, "You will need to get Rooter. But as a toolbox. Whistle to him by clicking the talk icon." And doing so changes Rooter. And just general interaction "tips" tutorial. Not even player active - maybe just an opening segment that explains these things. Narrator "Clicking the talk icon on Rooter will allow you to whistle at him and pick him up." Type of stuff. Or just a PDF of the manual that would explain this.

Great suggestions! If tweaking the UI is out of the question, these would certainly help.

In my game, talking to Rooter in that room only has Ace pick up his head and the headless rooter walks around the room in circles.  

Good to know my thinking was on the right track..

Rather than the hand icon use the talk icon.

I eventually got it working. The talk icon was telling me we couldn't do it here because we didn't want to wake up the janitor.  Then all of a sudden it didn't do that..
