Windows PC game


This is a point’n’click game. Instructions are provided how to access your 
inventory and how to play.

You are Charles Brown, the personal servant to Robert Harris, a rich London 
businessman. Jin Devlin, a groundskeeper has approached you with a plan to 
kidnap Harris’ daughter in exchange for a ransom. You assume he was kidding 
and hope it was a joke. 

The game is straightforward, though at times you may need to visit several 
locations (trial and error) before you know what to do where and when, so save 
at critical points. 

Only two hints appear to be necessary. The first is you need to meet the women 
and are asked to leave twice, before they are gone. Then you need to leave 
something that may frighten people at the door. The second is to carefully 
scan for new directions available to you when you return to the seaport.

Solution:

Because the location arrows are only visible when you scan the page with your 
cursor, the following walkthrough does not use directions. So you will need to 
explore the areas yourself.

You begin in the gardens. You hear voices to the south. Find and take a 
strawberry. You can take the mushroom if you wish. Find Mrs. Harris and talk 
to her. Grab Alice. Return and enter the house and talk with Harris who says 
his wife is late. Search his office and get the candle. Find Alice and Mrs. 
Harris who can’t get Alice to move. Grab Alice, who starts to laugh. Give her 
the strawberry and she follows you.

You find Alice the next morning, dead. Grab Alice. Enter the cave and leave 
Alice there.. Then return and take the carriage to the church and talk to the 
man and woman who give you some money. Go to the tavern, buy a flower and give 
it to the woman. When you buy her a drink, she tells you two women who know 
Jim Devlin and provides you with a means to escape. Leave and buy the 
newspaper. Go to the Cornwell estates.

The ladies ask you to leave, so do. Visit the seaport and talk to the captain. 
You find it won’t be easy to get past him. Return to the coast, take Alice and 
wrap her in the newspaper. Then go to the butcher shop where Joe helps you 
when you give him the newspaper. Go next door and take what you find there. 
Then take all that you can from the counter. Return to the two ladies and talk 
to them again. Then leave again, and return. Drop what you found in the meat 
locker.

Return, and Susan finally tells you where Jim is. Return to the seaport. Give 
the dog the two objects from the butcher’s and the man chases after the dog. 
Find Devlin who tries to shoot you, but you kill him. You get a sovereign. Use 
it in the tavern, where you get the name of a woman who may help. Return to 
the seaport and scan the location to find another exit. Return to the captain. 
And you are off sailing for America.
