I love the idea and style of this game, but I'm pulling my hair out with the English language final version already, and I'm only on level 1 (1899). Can you help, please?
My big problem is that I'm stuck, seemingly unfairly. I set the machine according to the diary advice, throw the temporary lever, with my two friends helping but the machine over-heats. I repair the broken wires in the hall, but the machine overheats again and breaks those same cables, but the second time I can't fix them as they're said to be also fine. Perhaps I'm missing something?
There are some bugs/problems I spotted that take you out of the rich atmosphere. There seems to be no tracking of your two friends. They ask the same questions repeatedly, they magically appear in the workshop, knowing what to do, without me telling them. They at one point seem to be simultaneously in the living room warming their hands, whilst also being in the workshop panicking operating the cranks on the amp.
This is nit-picking perhaps. I would be happy to help you take another look through the English translation. There are some glaring mistakes, such as describing the daguerreotype as "the bride with Leslie". The bride is female, and the groom is male. So it should be something from "A portrait of our wedding from twenty years ago, 1880" or "Leslie and myself, 1880" or "the bride and groom", etc.
One of the friends also exclaims "jeez!", which is American English, I believe. It certainly sounds wrong in the context.
This all said, I definitely would like to keep playing the game, but I'm completely stuck.
Some wrong words have been used, but most noticable is that "P" is missing from "Power" when you are in the Time Machine in part 1. In part 2 it should be "The cell is empty" when David is not there, and not "Battery is empty" (and maybe it would be better with no picture, instead of the picture where he is still there ?). In part 2 the game freezes when selecting "You stand in front of the guns" and when your friend is killed, and you go back to the policestation, it is possible to go down and try to rescue him again. He will be alive again, you will get new time, and if you run between different streets several times, then the timer will mess up and you will get 255 seconds.
Thank you very much!! we are going to repair that puzzle and improve the language. You already know that due to the rush, the game has not been tested, but I observe that the errors are few and easily repaired. thanks!!
Is this the correct answer that is not working, or will I die by selecting this ?? Is part 2 possible to pass through now, as it is, or do I have to wait for your update ? Also in the beginning of part 1 this text would be more correct:
Try to play again in phase 2 to avoid that error, it is possible to go to phase 3. Maybe it is possible to pass despite the failure of 255 seconds. I have to find a time to fix everything. Thank you very much for playing and for your suggestions, I am writing them!
"You say he is working on an experiment" should be "You say you........"
Part 2:
"You stay away from the vehicles" should be "You step......."
If you speak to David just 1 time, then "Questions about the cell" will not be there, but if you then go to the garage, you will be able to select "You light the floor with the lamp" (that you have not got yet) and will get the message "The ground is dark, nothing can be seen" and get game over.
Part 3:
Same problem as in part 2 when restarting after dying.
You get info that "At dusk the moon shines" is the password. In the menu you can select this x2 times, but both answers will be wrong - you have to answer "At dusk shines the moon"
At some places "usas la pistola" and "pisas el acelerador" is not translated.
When going back to Harry with the gun, after the truck has blown up, you can not open the inventory or speak to anyone, you can only select to go north. And you are always shot when trying to use the Time Machine... A bug ??
What to do, to complete this level, if it is possible to pass..???
I think I have fixed everything you tell me. There may be one more error (even in grammar).
I have write your name as thanks within the game (intro) and here, in the description of this page also. Tell me if you want me this nick Spirit003 or another name. Thanks! And any error you see tell me because you help me a lot. I would like to make the game as good as possible in the English version. I'm sure there will be more updates. :)

Hi,
I have just seen a video on Youtube with physical copies of your Spectrum games. Do you have a website were I can purchase any of these please?
Thank you
Alex
Final version 1.1 ready! Thanks!

Part 2:
It is possible to get 246 percent pressure in the Time Machine by pulling the lower pulley.
If you die and would like to retry, this is not possible, because you start in the inventory, and "Close inventory" is missing.
Part 1:
"You say he is working on an experiment" should be "You say you........"
Part 2:
"You stay away from the vehicles" should be "You step......."
If you speak to David just 1 time, then "Questions about the cell" will not be there, but if you then go to the garage, you will be able to select "You light the floor with the lamp" (that you have not got yet) and will get the message "The ground is dark, nothing can be seen" and get game over.

Is level 3 possible to pass..??
When going back to Harry with the gun, after the truck has blown up, you can not open the inventory or speak to anyone, you can only select to go north. And you are always shot when trying to use the Time Machine... A bug ??
What to do, to complete this level, if it is possible to pass..???
Can you confirm it is possible to complete level 3 ??
I just finished an UPDATE >> 0.9.3
