about the only exciting thing i did today was go out tonight with Jon and Steve to see Brent’s stand-up show. it was funny. i’d think about doing stand-up if i wasn’t such a procrastinator and could be bothered writing material. meh…
so, to bulk up this post, here’s another section of the walkthrough to adam’s wordl…
LEVEL 1 - HOUSE:
directly to your right, there is another sliding door that will take you to the garage. here you can select from a variety of melee weapons including, but not limited to: a claw hammer, a saw, various screwdrivers (both flat head and philips), and an old printer. be careful what you take (if anything), as carrying too much can seriously encumber you. once you have selected a melee weapon, the melee weapon tutorial becomes available to you. simply go to the far end of the garage, and a multitude of boxes, books, and various other junk is there for your melee pleasure. every weapon in adam’s wordl has both a primary and secondary form of attack. for all melee weapons, the primary attack is simply swinging the weapon. the longer you hold down fire <mouse button 1>, the harder you will swing the weapon, resulting in a powerful, but very slow attack. a more common strategy is simply to press fire <mouse button 1> rapidly, resulting in a series of weaker, but faster attacks. every weapon has a different secondary attack <space bar>, and some come in useful throughout the course of the game. some like the saw (secondary attack - cut) are pretty obvious, and it’s up to you to discover the pros & cons of each weapon.
there is 1 secret in the garage. if you search along the workbench at the northeast end of the garage (look at the compass on your HUD), you will find one part of a secret weapon - the weedeater. it won’t work until you find the other part, but it’s worth having.
exit the garage. there’s a staircase leading up to the main floor of the house. under the staircase there is nothing of interest (yet - wait until later levels). go up the staircase. you can ‘double-jump’ <right mouse button twice> while going up the stairs to jump up more that one stair at a time. if done in perfect timing, you can gain serious bonus points, but be warned that if you mess up the timing and fall down the stairs, you might die. [note: if you die in the game, that's it...this game is only available in hardcore mode, where you are given only one life].
once upstairs, feel free to look around. there are a number of rooms you can check out:
* sister’s room
* other sister’s room
* spare room
* parent’s room
* bathroom
* lounge
* kitchen
* dining room
[note: it is not recommended that you look through either of the sister's rooms, as this can result in a serious decline in your approval from both of adam's sisters, and even adam's parents!]. if you decide to search through the sister’s rooms, look in both for a secret diary. if found, these can be used later in the game to earn cash from adam’s sisters. (if misused however, these can result in a serious loss of cash, and a huge decline in your approval from adam’s parents). there is not a lot else of interest in either of the sister’s rooms.
there isn’t a lot in the spare room. you can open the wardrobe and look around. if you search under the fake floor, you’ll find a shotgun. ammo for this isn’t available for a few levels though. you can use a book <shift> to load the ‘reading books’ minigame. this minigame basically involves reading the book you selected. this minigame can be dangerous: if played for too long, it can be hard to exit the minigame until you finish the book - this can seriously reduce your game time in adam’s wordl.
