Some serious issues!

[DrFreemanstein]

I have played about 75% through the game and have encountered a couple of MAJOR issues [Warning Spoilers Ahead]

The ENTIRE Summoned spirit cutscene is missing! Once you complete the ritual correctly, there should be a long cutscene with the spirit you summon, then you get teleported to Witchely's cell and the game continues. This version just teleports you with no spirit interaction!

Now, I am at the gateway in the field and I have accessed the Keyhole....but I cannot access my Alchemy Case to use the Key of the Ancients! So i cannot carry on!!

Very Miffed!!!

Also, kind of worrying, is that the game does not appear anywhere on Meridian4's site!?

I got the same problem. I can't play along because opening the Alchemy Case does not work...And the scene was also missing.

I have same problem exactly as you describe has anyone come up with a solution? Even replaying the game from the start does not work.

Contact them immediately and tell them so they can fix all these issues

Just messaged the following to Meridian4 on Facebook:

[SPOILER ALERT}

"Myself and a few others have encountered a serious bug in the recent Steam release of Necronomicon: Dawning of Darkness.

We have reached the Gateway to the Ancient City and reveled the Keyhole in which you are supposed to use the Key of the Ancients from the Alchemist's Briefcase....however, the Briefcase is now 'greyed-out' as it is at the beginning of the game and cannot be accessed, preventing any further progress.

The Map is also no longer useable, so I am trapped in this location.

A number of items have vanished from my inventory, likewise, several documents have gone from my bureau.

Prior to this, having previously played through the game on the PS1, I also noticed that the entire cutscene in which you converse with the summoned spirit of Eliphas Levi is missing! Instead, completing the ritual just immediately teleports you to Whitcherley's cell...

I have to say, I was excited when I read in the features that you had addedd documents and hints to improve gameplay, but thus far i have yet to notice any improvement. Many of the puzzles require just as much guesswork as before!

A swift resoloution would be appreciated."

Hopefully they will fix it

On a side note, correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I can see, there is no clue given that you have to summon Eliphas Levi...it's pure trial and error yes? Just like the Vital Fluid 'puzzle'...

i queried this problem with steam support and basically had to re config steam itself restart computer eyc and still get same result after starting new game what a joke

[DrFreemanstein]

Did anyone else here play this on PS1??

Do you remember the weird disappearing Golden Orb?

You picked it up from the 'study' just before the Disc change and progressing to the 'well room'...but once you changed discs...*poof*...Gone!

At least they removed that for this version....shame they also removed a large chunk o' game with it!! XD

[astralmodem]

Same problems here as well, sigh.

[dodge0655]

Anyone tried getting a refund fron steam?

[DrFreemanstein]

I would rather have a patch for the game...i wanna finish it again!

[hardr1an]

I have the same issue... :(

[Terra Power]

I just joined the club of the missing alchemy kit. :( All I want is to finish the dang game.

[msodkiewicz]

[hardr1an]
