Lights Out 8: From Time to Time

Aha! I don't know if I've made much progress (although the storm in 2004 seems closer), but I've sure been getting around!

Storm getting closer

First, I did the haunted radio puzzle again with the dials set according to the photo in Andrew Verney's puzzle box. That got me some numbers that I haven't been able to use yet. Wandered around and finally realized that there were more of those numbered cards to find, even though the puzzle box uses them. I got the number two card from the puzzle box, and found several more, one labeled "L", which I think is going to translate into "5."

But so far, no further puzzle calling for these things has appeared.

Polly is still hiding in Drake's room, so I did more exploring. Now that I have the ghost glasses I'm getting all kinds of encounters. I've talked with both James and Robert. Drake, apparently, lurks. I swear I don't remember those conversations in the earlier version, but it's been so long since I've played the game that I can't be sure. 

All this exploring has led me to both of the other time zones, although I didn't explore them. I've now found easy ways to bounce back and forth to any of the times I want. (Yes, that means I solved the puzzle in Drake's 1912 closet.)

So now, I guess, I should do more exploring in one of the two new time zones. I seem to have just about exhausted the possibilities in 2004. Think I'll pick the past, and see if I can pick up a useful item or two there. I know that period is the least extensive of the four (although still a bitch to navigate).

But! That was fun! Exploring and finding things is my most favorite thing to do in adventures!
