Floyd ] Introduction to PataNoir Floyd | "PataNoir" is a surreal noir game, which differs from an ordinary noir Floyd | story in ways that should become clear early on. Make sure you try to Floyd | examine and interact with everything in your surroundings, including Floyd | things that are not literally there. Especially those. Every time Floyd | something is "like" something else, you can try to interact with both Floyd | things. Once you have some things, try giving them to people or Floyd | putting them on other things. Floyd | Floyd | If you get stuck, you can talk to your trusty servant. He might be Floyd | able to provide some hints. If you can't find him, check the desk Floyd | drawer. Floyd | Floyd | The chapter Instructions for Play contains basic information on how to Floyd | play Interactive Fiction, for people new to the medium. Floyd | Floyd | If you are having trouble with the puzzle system, you can read the Floyd | "Similes and You" chapter in this hint menu for more detailed Floyd | instructions. You may find it more rewarding to figure things out Floyd | yourself, though. Floyd | Floyd | If you are still stuck, the final chapter contains a detailed Floyd | walkthrough, divided into sections corresponding to scenes in the Floyd | game. Some scenes expect you to be carrying things from earlier Floyd | scenes, so a walkthrough section may not always work out of context. Floyd | For convenience, Typing "WALKTHRU" in the command prompt will print Floyd | the entire walkthrough on the screen. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Please press SPACE to continue. | DavidW says, "I understand that Tale recently translated this game into German. My mind boggles." | |
| Zach says, "Hooray for games that include walkthroughs" | ||

Floyd ] Your Office 2 Floyd | Your Office (on the office chair) Floyd | Shadows huddle in the corners, like dark pools of oil; the sickly Floyd | yellow light from the desk lamp does little to dispel the darkness.

Floyd ] Your Office 11 Floyd | > Floyd | > TAKE KNIGHT Floyd | Floyd | I don't suppose the holy knight would care for that. Floyd | Floyd | > | MTW asks, "did someone dose the player character with LSD?" | |

| DavidW says (to Floyd), "talk to knight" | ||
Floyd ] Your Office 12 Floyd | > Floyd | > TALK TO KNIGHT Floyd | Floyd | What are you going to say? A bunch of platitudes about how everything Floyd | is going to be okay? Better to stay silent for now. Floyd | Floyd | > | JimKaplan says, "Oh, whoops, I see." | |

Floyd ] Your Office 14 Floyd | > Floyd | > OPEN DOOR Floyd | Floyd | It takes effort to push the chair away from the desk so you can get Floyd | off. You really should fix the wheels some day.

Floyd ] Your Office 15 Floyd | > Floyd | > TALK TO BUTLER Floyd | Floyd | "How may I help you?", you ask. Floyd | Floyd | "My name is Allan Jameson." His voice is as hard as his face. "I Floyd | represent the Baron Ahrend von Bülow. You are Douglas Reilly, the Floyd | private investigator?" Floyd | Floyd | You lean back into your chair, hoping to look relaxed and Floyd | self-assured. "That's right. What does a Baron want with me?" Floyd | Floyd | "The Baron, for some reason beyond my understanding, has decided that Floyd | a Private Investigator is the most discreet way of dealing with a Floyd | current problem. He has allowed me the courtesy of selecting one." Floyd | Floyd | "And I take it that you have selected me?" Floyd | Floyd | He raises an eyebrow. "I haven't selected anyone, Mr. Reilly.

Floyd ] Your Office 22 Floyd | > Floyd | > TALK TO BUTLER Floyd | Floyd | "I assure you that you will not regret hiring me. I will serve the Floyd | interests of the Baron to the utmost of my abilities." Floyd | Floyd | A smile lights up his face. "I am very glad to hear that, Mr. Reilly. Floyd | You sound just like the person we need. Unfortunately, I can't just Floyd | take your word for it, you understand. I just need some kind of Floyd | assurance." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x tuxedo" | ||
Floyd ] Your Office 23 Floyd | > Floyd | > X TUXEDO Floyd | Floyd | Not a speck of dust is visible. It's either brand new or he just Floyd | picked it up from the cleaners. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Your Office 25 Floyd | > Floyd | > LOOK Floyd | Floyd | Your Office Floyd | Shadows huddle in the corners, like dark pools of oil; the sickly Floyd | yellow light from the desk lamp does little to dispel the darkness. An Floyd | old cigarette butt lies in the ashtray. Your desk is covered with old Floyd | case files - reminders of past glories. Apart from the desk, the only Floyd | other furniture is an old office chair. Floyd | Floyd | The office door to the north leads to the corridor outside. Floyd | Floyd | You see Allan Jameson here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Your Office 29 Floyd | > Floyd | > X CHAIR Floyd | Floyd | The rust has long since caused the wheels on the chair to get stuck. Floyd | It would be much more comfortable if you fixed them. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

| Zach says (to Floyd), "x desk" | ||
Floyd ] Your Office 37 Floyd | > Floyd | > X DESK Floyd | Floyd | Countless cups of coffee have been spilled across what was once an Floyd | impeccable wooden surface. It's not pretty, but it serves its purpose Floyd | well enough. It is currently covered with old case files. The desk Floyd | contains a single drawer. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x files" | ||
Floyd ] Your Office 38 Floyd | > Floyd | > X FILES Floyd | Floyd | You haven't had much work lately, so you have been reviewing some old Floyd | case files, remembering old times. You never know if you might learn Floyd | something. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

"If you need me to do anything, Floyd | just say something like 'Wesson, take the ball' or 'Wesson, attack the Floyd | man'. I will do my very best to fulfill your wishes. If you can't Floyd | figure out what to do, you can always talk to me. I might be able to Floyd | give you some hints." Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "oh geez" | |

Floyd | Floyd | He thinks for a few seconds. "I am not certain. You seem like a pretty Floyd | decent person, but perhaps I should investigate some other options Floyd | before I decide."

Floyd | Floyd | He laughs heartily. "Please, call me Allan. It's really been a Floyd | pleasure talking to you, Douglas. I am so glad I decided to visit you, Floyd | instead of going with one of the other people. They were all so glum Floyd | and cynical." Floyd | Floyd | "The pleasure is entirely mine," you say with a smile. "Now, shall we Floyd | go see the Baron?" Floyd | Floyd | "Of course. Follow me." Floyd | Floyd | Outside The Mansion Floyd | The stately mansion of the Baron von Bülow looms in front of you, Floyd | like Floyd | a sleeping giant. Light seeps out from a single window on the second Floyd | floor to the right; all the others are dark. Two large mahogany doors Floyd | guard the entrance to the north. The path to the south leads to the Floyd | gate, away from the mansion. Floyd | Floyd | "Here we are, sir," says Jameson. "If you will just follow me." Floyd | Floyd | He opens the doors and disappears into the mansion. Floyd | Floyd | > | JimKaplan says, "Hee hee hee" | |

Floyd ] The Hall 67 Floyd | > Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | The Hall Floyd | It almost seems like a waste for such a massive entrance hall to be Floyd | used to welcome a single person. The floor is a frozen lake of grey Floyd | marble. Two sets of stairs lead up to a balcony above. French doors in Floyd | the north side of the room lead to the back garden. To the south, the Floyd | mahogany doors lead back out. Floyd | Floyd | You see Allan Jameson here. Floyd | Floyd | Mr. Jameson ascends the stairs.

Floyd | The floor is covered in a thick luxurious red carpet. The air smells Floyd | of dust. Floyd | Floyd | You see Allan Jameson here. Floyd | Floyd | The Baron sits in a black leather easy chair on the east side of the Floyd | room. He has been reading a book, but when you enter he puts it away Floyd | on a small table next to the chair. A hint of something that might one Floyd | day grow into a smile is briefly visible on his face. Floyd | Floyd | "Ah, Mr. Jameson. You have brought the detective. Excellent; you may Floyd | leave us." Floyd | Floyd | Mr. Jameson leaves through the door, closing it behind him. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
