Fallacy of Dawn--Help Please

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.int-fiction (More info?)

This is a request for help in the IF Fallacy of Dawn. Someone really
should make a walkthrough.

OK, I'm in the sushi bar, broke, at maximum health and ree. I am
carrying a quarter, a token dispenser, and an empty pillcase. I
blacked out for some reason while talking to Clara (probably because I
ran out of ree, but I had a pill so it's OK.)

Anyway, the thing is: I can't get past Johnny Dapper. I think it's
been established that I'm screwed if he recognizes me, so I need to
escape beforehand. Hints please?

I am stupid. I forgot to talk to Porn and Clara before asking for
help. I'll post here again if I get stuck again. Sorry!

'k, now I really need help. In the building I was taken to after
entering the pawnshop, I have talked to N***, knocked out the guard,
talked to Billy, and retrieved my gun. How do I proceed from here?

I am mad. It's not that this thread hasn't been replied to yet. It's
that it's RIGHT ON THE GODDAMN FRONT PAGE and apparently nobody has
seen it yet.

No need to yell. It's been seen. Apparently no one has the answer or
has time to write back, though. (I've played the game, but I remember
the endgame sequence being pretty finicky and so I don't recall
exactly how to get through all of it.)

You may need to email the author directly -- though authors also may
take a few days to answer their email, or not be willing to give hints
at all. But it's often worth a try. Another thing to try is
searching google's archives for Fallacy hints and seeing whether your
question is answered there already.

Assuming you find out the answer, you could even make a walkthrough
yourself, for the sake of posterity.

(It is NOT EXACTLY ON THE GODDAMN FRONT PAGE in my newsreader,
probably because my newsreader doesn't have a front page, goddamn or
otherwise.)

I've read your messages, but I haven't played Fallacy of Dawn yet,
so I can't help you, sorry. And probably other people too.

You shoot a bunch of people and a bunch of furniture.

I have searched for Fallacy of Dawn hints and got no help. Thank you
for the suggestion, though.

I am considering writing a solution for the game, but I haven't done
everything yet (haven't even beaten it, as you could probably tell)
and I have no idea where I'd post it anyway.

Also, if my memory serves me, you were the one who charged this game
with a lack of detail. I disagree, it seems to me like there's
slightly excessive amounts of atmosphere in certain places.

Yes, which is why I said "Assuming you find out the answer..."

Ah! Well, you could upload it to the ifarchive, to be added to the
large number of walkthroughs and hint files stored in the solutions
directory.

What I said, I believe, was that the implementation didn't show enough
attention to detail -- and given the number of weird behaviors and
bug-like things I ran into while playing it, I stand by that
assessment. That doesn't mean that any given portion of the game was
too bland or undercharacterized, just that the programming thereof
could have been more consistent.
