Getting Office Key from the Guard

[JMA401]

I ABSOLUTELY cannot trigger getting the key from the guard for the office. I have the drugged bun, but I never get the "cake for you" dialog EVER. I've tried everything I can think of in every order ... nothing will progress my game. I ALSO NEVER GET the hot coffee scene.
I cannot progress in the game, and this is just the beginning. I'm dead in the water here. I've read, and tried, everyone's suggestions but nothing I do can trigger the proper sequence of dialogs.

Hopefully between the replies in this thread, and the replies to your posting in the other one, you can now get the office key from the guard. If not, please send me your save game file so I can specifically point out exactly what you have left to do. Beware that step 5 from the post above this one is not quite accurate, but is close. I believe the response to the other post you made will give you the complete picture. If not, please post in that other thread again.

Instructions for getting your save game to me are in the reply I made to your other post: https://steamcommunity.com/app/362680/discussions/0/3826414483640661572/#c3826414483641838986.

Hurray ... I uninstalled, and reinstalled the game ... this time I finally got the "cake for you" dialog and was able to continue the game. Thanks to all the suggestions.

I am SO HAPPY that I got past the guard and the key because I love this game. It's been several years since I played it; but I'm thoroughly enjoying it

I have the same problem right now, I replayed up until that point like 12 times, it doesn’t work. Might actually have to reinstall, this ain’t stopping me!!!!!

Hello Yrathea,

If you aren't specific about what you did to try to get the key I can't tell if you're doing what is required. If you don't do what is required, a reinstall won't help. The puzzle does work slightly differently in the default (new) version compared to the Legacy Game Maker (old) version. Since you didn't say which you are playing, that only adds to the confusion in trying to help you.
