answering machine at beginning

Post by eric.malitz »

I just started Policenauts and did not listen to the answering machine at the beginning of the game; can someone tell me what the messages say, or will I be able to visit this later and listen the messages? (I'm on the flight to Beyond right now)

No, it's not possible but if you really want to hear them why don't you just start a new game and listen to the messages right away, it's not like it'll make any difference later in the game whether you listened to them or not.

That must be the only thing I don't like about this game. If you wanna click on everything and hear everything, it's risky 'cause you could trigger the next scene without knowing and you miss stuff that can be interesting. They should have given you the option of moving on to the next scene or not.

^Oh, I dunno about that being a flaw, personally I like that part of it; makes for replay value.
