The Sydney Mystery Walkthrough, by Phil Darke

 

The Sydney Mystery by Twighlight software is a point and click adventure and is supplied on 1 CD and runs direct from the disc, requiring no installation. The puzzles are not particularly difficult but you do need to sweep the mouse cursor over the whole screen to avoid missing anything.

            I particularly would like to thank Mag from Gameboomers, without whose help I would not have completed the game.

 

Act One

 

The game opens with a cut scene of your uncle being kidnapped.

You start at the entrance to your house. Walk forward to the door, open it and enter. Walk to the living room and take the boomerang from the wall. Walk left to the dining room and on into the kitchen. Look at the counter, move the jar and pick up the knife. Look at the second counter and listen to the answering machine message. Return to the door and go left into the bedroom. Look at the bed and pick up the shirt and coat hanger. Return to the bedroom and look at the ground to the left of the bed, pick up the scissors and tape.

Return outside and click travel elsewhere. Click on the City and then on North of the City. Go to Uncles house. Walk up the driveway to the front door, read the note and enter.

Next travel to the City, at the first screen go right to the street. Walk forward to the phone box on your right, look at the phone box and take the coin. Walk back and then look at the ground to your left. Use the coat hanger to retrieve the screwdriver from the drain and then use it to remove the screw. Remove the cover and use the beer on the leaves, then pick up the coin. Step back and then continue forward along the street, to another telephone on the left. Pick up the “URGENT” sticker. Continue forward to Martin Place and look at the flowers. Use the scissors on the flowers and pick them up.

Return to the first screen and walk forward to the Town Hall. Keep walking forward until you come to a seat. Look under the seat and use the knife to remove the Silver Key, pick up the key and then use the stick on the gum. Walk back twice and walk up the steps. Pick up the brochure

Walk through the house and the garden until you see Dame Gertrude. Talk to her about everything and show her the business card. She will tell you the Exa Corporation’s location. Next go and talk to the neighbour and ask her about the Jalan Sehala restaurant, she will tell you where it is located.

Go to the City and the South Of the City. Enter the restaurant and talk to the waiters. Show them the menu and talk to them again they will tell you about the beach man and Manly beach.

Leave the restaurant and travel to the City, Walk toward the Town Hall and walk forward. At the location before the seat where you got the key earlier look at the stone on the left. Use the blunt pencil on the stone to obtain a sharpened pencil.

Travel to the North of the City and from there to the beach. Keep walking forward until you see a man in a Koala Bear suit. He won’t talk to you and says he wants some water.

Walk forward twice and talk to Snakey. Give him the wad of cash and talk to him again. He mentions Jessica Doe. Talk to Reg and ask about Jessica Doe. He tells you where to find her.

Travel to the headland and try talking to Jessica Doe, she won’t help unless you are wearing Green pants and shirt.

Go to the neighbours house and walk to the back, wear the Green pants. Now return to the beach man and ask him for his shirt he won’t give it unless you give him a replacement. Offer him the Yellow shirt, in exchange he gives you his Green shirt.

Now return to the Headland and talk to Jessica Doe. When you have asked about all topics return to the City and to Hyde Park. Walk forward to the fountain and then left to the trees. Continue forward until you see a man sitting on a bench. This is Mr Michael Iden. Talk to him. At first he refuses to talk unless you can prove your identity.

Pick up the crowbar from the bath and use it on the pipes. Pick up the pipe and walk back. Snakey appears and locks you in.

Walk back and go to the sink on your right. Pick up the hammer and walk back. Look to the left and pick up the jacket.  Use the hammer on the door window and look through the broken window. Use the jacket on the floor, then use the pipe on the keys. Pick up the keys and use them to unlock the door. Walk forward and watch a cut scene of  Snakey being attacked with the hammer. Look at the note, it says “Harbour Bridge 7 O’clock Tomorrow morning”. Leave the Warehouse.

 

Act Four

 

Travel to the harbour Bridge and walk toward the man. Walk forward and look at the case. To the left you will see some symbols. I don’t know if these are the same every time or random but in my case they where $ % ! *

Press the numbers on the case corresponding to the symbols on the keyboard i.e. 4518.

The case is now open but the timer is still running. Walk back and under the bridge. Walk up the hill and forward. Walk to the bench and look under it. Pick up the gum and return to the bomb. Use the gum on the clock. Walk back up the hill and to the clearing look at the tree on the right and use the boomerang on it.

Approach the tree and look at the man lying on the ground. BIG SURPRISE!!
