Dart game at Holmes Scalpel game

Post by venom_INC »

Hello,
I have some difficulties with the dart game in the pub. Can you somehow skip this? I don't want to play that thing! After all, this is an adventure and not a skill game if it is not possible to skip, maybe there is a game for it? :?:

Thanks!!!

Yes there is. As long as you're playing on a PC (or Mac as well presumably), pressing the Escape key should make you immediately win the game. Just something I added a while back for both Scalpel and Rose Tattoo's dart games, because I disliked them too :)

Maybe I'm misremembering, but isn't there also a way to get the information you need without having to play darts for it?

At this point, I recall very little about the gameplay, so I can't say for sure.

Yes, in Scalpel the darts game gets you an address that (1) can be obtained in another way and (2) is just a dead end anyway.

(In Rose Tattoo, however, you have to win at darts to progress.)
