Deadline Hints
How do I find the new will?
1 of 16: First, wait until the will reading.
2 of 16: You'll see George around. If you've been investigating properly, you'll know that he was left out of the new will, but he *was* in the old one.
3 of 16: Maybe he has the solution.
4 of 16: First, you'll need to make him crack, so he'll get the will.
5 of 16: Show him the calendar from the library to him to make him nervous.
6 of 16: Follow him upstairs, but don't go into his room.
7 of 16: Instead, go into the library.
8 of 16: Hide outside, and wait for George to come.
9 of 16: He'll open a secret passage! Once he goes in the passage, enter back into the room.
10 of 16: Save the game at this point, this requires a bit of experimentation.
11 of 16: Look at the bookcase, and you'll find a button.
12 of 16: If you press it right away, George won't open the safe inside, because he doesn't have time.
13 of 16: Instead, wait about 4 turns.
14 of 16: Then, press the button, and head on in.
15 of 16: If everything was timed right, you should see the will, and you should be able to get the papers in the opened safe.
16 of 16: If the will isn't there, or the safe won't open, you were either too early or too late. Reload that game I told you to save earlier.
