Through the Forest Quickly

Before you use this walk through of the episode, you should attempt to solve this episode on your own. That being said, some people had trouble figuring out what the goal of the episode was. This is exasperated by the simple fact that the goal for this episode changes when it becomes obvious that the goal can not be achieved in a straight-forward way. The ultimate goal is to get hold of the ax so that you can chop down trees to build your raft. Charles will not give you the ax, but you will notice that the cave he is sleeping in is similar to one you should have spotted in previous episodes. This means that the true goal of this episode is to get the pieces necessary to build a torch so you can explore the cave in the next episode.

Now for those of you who are still not able to finish the episode without aid, let us go through the episode. The episode starts with you near the entrance to Charles' cave. The first thing that you will notice is that the GPS unit is not part of your inventory. If I ever made a version of this game that combined all the episodes together, the presence of the GPS unit would be determined by the actions taken in the previous episode. As each of the episodes is currently designed to be stand alone, I decided that the player would have to retrieve the GPS unit. This is done by heading east one screen and then heading north into the forest.

This time the forest is represented by a map that allows you to quickly go to the location you wish to by simply clicking on the appropriate X spot. You want to head to the orchard. Once there go to the plane and enter the cockpit of the plane to retrieve the GPS unit. Head back to Charles.

You give Charles the pen by using the pen on him. Giving him the pen will make him remember what his real name is and as a reward for doing so he will give you back your flint. Next give him the GPS unit. He will tell you that if there is anything he can do to help to let him know. Click on the ax in the entrance of the cave. While he will not give you the ax, he will give you your knife back.

Moving east two rooms will take you to the big rock that you will be using to launch the raft from. If you carefully look at the ground you will notice that there is a branch on the ground. Picking up the branch gives you the final component that is needed to make a torch. Head back into the forest and click on the X by the cave to finish this episode.
