Let me messsge you privately. Are you on Discord or elsewhere? 

I may not have allowed for a second syringe to be used in your case… let me take a look and see. Alternately, if playing the remastered version, you can restart from the beginning of Act Three. If you have this version, let me know. I can also create an updated version to get around this situation when stuck. 

Yes, that’s right. If you toss the keycard at that point you are stuck and need to reload. But anyone who throws a keycard away amidst such dangers must be tired of living anyway!

If you used the syringe on Suave Blanc and successfully answered his questions, he will give you the L3 keycard. If you fail the questions, he will slump back into his state and you will be unable to proceed, requiring a reload before the failed questioning. 

Thanks for your love for the game!

The "UFO" is a bit misleading... there is another 3-letter acronym that is more commonly used these days as a replacement for UFO. That's the acronym you'll want to enter.

Happy adventuring!

Are you on Discord?

Let me see what I can do for you.

I've been teaching students to make games for Playdate on Pulp for the last two years. I always like to see children building.

Love it!

Thank you! I hope you enjoy. 

intellikat here. Writer and artists. Mediocre coder. Looking for a team to jam with. https://intellikat.itch.io/

You'll have to wait to swim further past that big ole boat in Act 3 when it's pulled out of harbor... so don't worry for now. 

Yes, the code to the door will require a bit of thought. Do you remember where you've seen those symbols before?  To use as the key for a substitution cypher?

Have you listened to the guards’ conversations near the lake?  There’s an item you can get from the truck using the crowbar that will distract them. It’s also shiny and bright. It looks like something that was studied secretly at another lake by the name of Groom… 

Greetings stuck one! Is there anything you might use the (full) pot of water on? Something that might respond with a hissssssss???

Any progress? I made an update to the game a few days after your previous message which was uploaded here. Let me know if it's working for you or if you're still having an issue.

I've sent you a special patch for your situation on Discord. Good luck!

Thank you for the support! So you currently are playing one of versions before the remastered release? If so, let me create something for you that will allow you to pick up from Act 3 near the stuck point. 

OK let me take a look. Can you give me any other info, such as what’s in your inventory and importantly, was the call with Whiskey Joe triggered when you entered through the door with the keycard? You can also connect with me on discord .

First question: are you playing with the latest version of the game?

Well done. Quest on!

Did you find the cutters at the dockyard?

Thanks for the high praise and thank you for venturing into Pine Island! You’re getting well into the adventure now.

Since that water is so, so cold you will need the appropriate gear to enter and retrieve the case. Have you hunted around on the next level down in the facility using your L2 keycard? Beyond the beam defenses? 

If it’s the first guard bot in the moveable crate room,  you’ll need to move the crates. If it’s the second one after finding the cardboard box, the suppressor can be found in a marked crate in the same room as the bot. You need the crowbar to open the crate.  

You’ll need to suppress your rifle and take the bot out from behind. 

Sorry, just getting back to you. Happy continued adventuring! :D

For anyone who has progressed far into the game (or won it), feel free to support future adventurers by adding to the walkthrough guide found here: https://playdate-wiki.com/wiki/Pine 

Hey there! Congratulations on progressing so far.

The terminal allows you to cycle through three images which have been referenced in the game thus far. Each are three- or four-letter words or acronyms.  The trick is to know enough of the alien alphabet to spell these words or phrases. Do you remember where this alien language has been seen previously in the game? 

Cool-- thanks for the feedback.

👍🙏

The updated version includes 4 variations on the ending... only one pure "good" ending now.

New update including different endings thanks to your comment!

That is correct... the Spirit may know you've been there before...

I actually wanted to clarify that a bit more AND add a purely good ending but ran out of time, as I turn into a ware-wolf every Halloween at 12am.

May update for fun (along with another little secret) in the days ahead.

Thanks for the positive comments-- very often, the early stages of a game have me messing around with a new mechanic or a form of art, and the story develops out of this. That's a bit how this one started, with the movement animation, which is being incorporated into QFTX2 as well.

I believe you cheated the devil by playing the game more than once...? :D

Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed!

I would say play it in the dark... but there's no backlight :D

Thank you for you playing as well as your positive response! I'd be happy to contact you later this week. BTW, The Spirit of the Law is available for free download now. Please enjoy your tour of the Thrombey Estate... yet do read all the fine print!

Released!

Hi! Thanks for the report.

This is definitely a known issue we found on one of the passes before the remastered release this month. Are you playing the most recent version of the game (the remastered version in one .pdx file instead of three)? I took a look just now at the issue in the most recent build and it looked to have been updated. 

Let me know and I'm happy to support you getting back to adventuring.

Thanks for the interest and support! Will release this week.

Yes, all three acts are combined into one .pdx game file. Pine.pdx is the file you will want to sideload. You will need to remove the older, separated versions from your device through your Playdate account if you want the remastered version to be the one you now solely play. It will not replace the others automatically.

Thanks for your question and your playing!

Which fence area? Have you looked at the walkthrough? https://playdate-wiki.com/wiki/Pin

Thank you!
