I’m stuck in two places in Radicofani., and the walkthrough doesn’t seem to be quite right.
First, in the bar the walkthrough says you’re supposed to acquire a certain item: a sleeping pill. The walkthrough says you’re supposed to look at the ground after talking to the other customer, but I did that and no sleeping pill appeared.
Second, since the game is on a timer, and I realized I was running out of time on my first playthrough, I restarted. However, this time I couldn’t reach the second stage of the game because I couldn’t leave the apartment. Following the walkthrough exactly doesn’t help. There must be some event that triggers your ability to leave the apartment. Does anyone know what it is?
I was able to win between the two walkthroughs (there’s an Italian one for an older version of the game) and some dumb luck, but I’m not 100% sure how to solve both of these.
For the second issue, the things I remember doing included finding the locket in the dishwasher, opening it, and unlocking the drawer and getting the phone and attendant papers. I definitely didn’t open the bench or futz around with the albums in my first go-round, nor did I unlock the phone in the apartment, but was still able to leave.
It looks like what worked was to turn off the TV. Then the answering machine started beeping, and I was able to listen to the message, which mentioned Radicofani. Then the game let me leave and travel to Radicofani.
