Video Walkthrough 24

Escape from the Book Store - Chapter One Walkthrough by Suicune:

step 1- before navigating anywhere, click on the 3rd bookshelf from the left, top row, to zoom in. click on and obtain the tall book at the top right of the screen, zoom out.

step 2- turn right and click on the blue book on the floor (it has text on it). once obtained, examine it and open it, take the note from inside.

step 3- examine the note you just obtained. note the colors of the circles at the bottom, this is really a code. exit examine view and look at the bookshelf in front of you. under the "childrens books on sale" tag, there are 5 white books. clicking on these will change thier color. match the colors on the note you just obtained with the colors of these books and the shelf will move! there is nothing more to do here yet though, come back later.

step 4- turn right and obtain the orange book at the bottom row of the 2nd bookshelf from the left.

step 5- turn right again and obtain the lemon at the bottom left shelf, and click on the bottom middle shelf to zoom in on it. take the ulysses book. examine it and turn it over, get the knife from behind it.

step 6- examine the lemon, then drag the knife to it to cut it. now examine the 1st book you got and open it (the life and opinions of tristram shandy). use your cut lemon on page 71 (the gray rectangle) and it will dissolve leaving you a code!

step 7- zoom back out and turn right twice. pick up the wastepaper basket and zoom in on the cash register. take the note from behind it, then zoom in further on the register (click on it again). remember the code from the book you used the lemon on? this is where we will use it. input SPOILER4951SPOILER and it will open, giving you the battery!

step 8- zoom back out and turn left. click on the window to zoom in, and obtain the red book from behind the column of books on the right. zoom back out and plug in the lamp. also, you can examine the door if you like, and it will say that in case of fire, door will open. looks like we will need to burn the place down!

step 9- revert to standard view of this room. move your mouse to the top of the screen, and you will see you are able to look at the ceiling. put your battery in the smoke alarm. and zoom back out.

step 10- now return to the shelf you moved back in step 3 (either turn left 3 times or right 3 times from the door screen). click on the wall safe to zoom in. seems like we need another code. examine the lined paper in your inventory (obtained in step 7, if you missed it). note the times, and the names. now lets look at the books youve been picking up:

the book "ulysses" has a white star at the back. there is a white star above 1 of the dials on the safe. note the author of this book- joyce. according to the note, joyce=3:00, so move the 1st dial into the 3 o'clock position (turn it once)

the karl marx book has a moon at the back, so set the moon dial to the 9:00 position as the note says (turn 3 times)

the pynchon book has a sun at the back, repeat the above logic for the sun dial (12:00 position)

there is 1 more name on the note: "wallace". but the book with the rainbow doesnt say wallace on it! doesnt matter, there is only 1 dial left, and only 1 time left on the note- 3:00. so just set this last dial to 3:00 and the safe will open! magnifier obtained!

***to summarize the above step, set the dials on the safe to point SPOILERrightrightupleftSPOILER***

step 11- you now have all you need. return to the screen with the door and lamp. set the waste basket down next to the lamp. turn on the lamp. finally, drag the magnifier to the light coming from the lamp. the place will catch fire and you will automatically escape! congratualtions!
