Ben Jordan - Case 1 In Search of the Skunk-Ape Produced by: Grundislav Games +==============+ | Introduction | +============================================================================= Ben Jordan the Paranormal Investigator is a series of games that revolve around the Investigator Ben Jordan and his adventures into the paranormal. After graduating from college and unsuccesfully finding a job, he decides to pursue his life-long dream of investigating the paranormal after finding a handbook online. This case revolves around the mystery of the Skunk-Ape and the bizarre murders taking place in the Florida Everglades. This walkthrough, like most of my others, will be completely spoiler-free. You will not find an iota of plot related information unless it is required to understand how to proceed. This walkthrough is presented in bullet-format with secion headers to indicate where the action is taking place. If an action will give you a point, I will indicate it out to the side of the action. This game is a classic point-and-click adventure game. Left clicking will perform the action indicated by your icon, and right clicking will change the action you can perform. If you move your icon to the top of the screen, a bar will drop down. In this bar you can change your icon type, open your inventory, save, load, and quit. In your inventory, there are four options. The spyglass allows you to examine objects more closesly, the hand allows you to manipulate it, the arrow adds it to your current icon so you can use it on objects outside of the window. With all that, here we go! +=============+ | Walkthrough | +============================================================================= Murder Scene (Ugh, what TERRIBLE voice acting!) ----------------------------------------------- _ Question the ranger. - Skunk Ape - What is the Skunk Ape? - 2 Points - Sightings - 2 Points - Animals - 2 Points - Park - 2 Points - Plan - Ranger Rick - 3 Points - Manipulate the Corpse - Take the Hair from his hand. - 2 Points - Exit out of the screen. - Open your Inventory - Manipulate the Map - Select the Ranger Station - TOTAL POINTS: - 13 Points Ranger Station (It's called a CD player, very useful) ----------------------------------------------------- - Open the door - Manipulate the drawers. - Recieve the Diuretic - 2 Points - Question Ranger Rick - Nature Amulet - 1 Point - Open your Inventory - Manipulate the Map - Select the Visitor Center - TOTAL POINTS: - 16 Points Visitor Center (I'm meeting you hippies half-way) ------------------------------------------------- - Question the Strange Man - Protests - 1 Point - Open the Door - Question the Receptionist - Anamatronic Miccosukee - 1 Point - Open the Bathroom Door. - Take the Toilet paper - 2 Points - Use the Toilet paper on the toilet. - 3 Points - Use the toilet. - 5 Points - Exit to the lobby. - Use the Diuretic on the Mug on the desk. - 3 Points - Manipulate the Display case - 1 Point - Exit to outside.
