lol! and then I find out that opening the gate is the last thing you can do in the trial. Contacting TetraEdge now to see if they’re prepared to put up their games on Mobihand…

Ah I found it. Of course I was thinking I was done with the candy machines after taking the money. (I appeared to have turned the wheel on accident in order to wind the train, I had trouble duplicating that). Now I have both the train wound up, and access to the gate, so I’ll try and make some progress now!
Thanks again!

Hmmm candy machines! I tapped everywhere I could, well so I thought. After your comment I did find it, so I’ll have something new to explore!
Thanks!

Have you looked at the candy machines in the store yet??

Thanks for that, good stuff!

I’m stuck though, quite soon in the game. I’ve found a key, but it doesn’t open the gate to go down to the “lower class” people. The girl that spoke about the key is replaced by another character that can’t be tapped (or spoken to) so I can’t give her a present (assuming that the key is the present, I only have the key and my phone).
The robot says I need to find coal, the store manager (Colonel) says that I’ll have to wait some weeks for maintainance.
I feel like I’ve spoken to every person three times with the same responses, but I can’t progress.
Do you still have the game installed, or remember anything about this that might help?
I can’t save my game in the trial so I’ll exit it for now, but it looks quite addicting.

OK. One point of clarification. I just heard from TetraEdge. They told me (and I confirmed) that there is a trial version available for Syberia 2.

You can find the trial at Clickgamer:

I agree, SPM. These kinds of games would really benefit from a trial. It could be done, a la Astraware’s Broken Sword, with a seperate file that contains only a small part of the game.

I have been playing Secrets of Da Vinci and I think it could be their best game yet.

I’ve been looking at TetraEdge games since they look really stunning, but since there is no trial and they’re only available at Handango, I won’t be running any TetraEdge games unfortunately. I’ve got a large gift certificate from the Aximsite store (sorry JAMM, I won it over there) so I’d simply purchase Secrets of Da Vinci or something like that if it was available. But apparently that won’t happen.

If Tetraedge is reading this, please make a trial available. Games like yours, or K-Rally are much more approachable if a trial is available. Of course for such a large game it’s hard to create a trial, but wouldn’t it be worth the time to create a demo that’s not larger than 30 MB and which lets you play a small part of the game?
