CHAPTER 2: MATRYOSHKA
============================================================
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LEADER’S HEART
HOTEL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LOBBY
You arrive at the
lobby of the hotel, determined to find out what happened to Anna’s
colleague. Look at the Leader’s Heart display in middle of the
room. Look at Closed Currency Exchange on the left - it’s closed.
Look at the Souvenir Machine - it’s broken. Enter cubicle on the
right.
Look at the
reel-to-reel player on the wall, and look at the keys on the wall. Talk
to Chief Of Security - apparently he’s too busy to talk to you. Leave the
cubicle.
Walk left, and
continue left, until you see the Restriction List. Read the Restrictions
List - that’s a lot of restrictions! Talk to the Receptionist. He
needs to see your relevant papers, and tells you to get an Application Form
from the Pass Department. Talk to the Second Guard. He’s actually
in charge of the Pass Department. Work through all the dialogue with him.
Take the BLANK ROOM APPLICATION he’s holding. Look
at BLANK ROOM APPLICATION in your Inventory - you can’t fill
it out yet. Look at poster on the wall on the left, and look at all 3
points on the poster. It tells you how to assemble a stamp. Walk
right, and continue right, until you see the giant golden statue.
Look at poster on
the wall next to the golden statue. Look at the golden statue. Look
at the kneeler in front of the golden statue. Look at the scratched
picture on the podium. Look at the message carved into the podium,
telling you to fill out each instruction opposite of what you were told
before. Use BLANK ROOM APPLICATION with the
podium. All the differing instructions are confusing. Just use the
chained pencil, and tick Box #1 only. Pick up ROOM
APPLICATION again, then leave the podium.
Walk left, and
continue left, until you see the Receptionist. Give him COMPLETED
APPLICATION. Now he needs your stamp for verification. The
problem is, you don’t have a stamp. Ask about everything.
Walk right, and
continue right, until you see the Closed Currency Exchange. Use the
Closed Currency Exchange to ring the bell 3 times. Look at the employee, who’s
fast asleep, and snoring loudly. Talk to him, and ask about
everything. Give him 1.10 COLLARS, and he’ll exchange that
into 50,000,000 RUPIEJKAS.
Walk right to the
Souvenir Machine.
Use the Souvenir
Machine to officially remove the red tape. Look at the Souvenir Machine
to see a close-up of it.
Now look at the various things you can buy. You want to buy some souvenirs, so use 50,000,000 RUPIEJKAS with the money slot at the bottom right. Now this puzzle is complicated. Look closely at the symbols below each souvenir - they are inverted shapes for the symbols you see on the keypad. Some of the souvenirs break, and are automatically disposed of.
To make it easier,
I’ll show below, which souvenirs you need. Remember to place your RUPIEJKAS in
the money slot for each souvenir, and pick up each souvenir as you get
it.
Press these buttons
to get ROUND KEYCHAIN
Press these buttons
to get CHEWING GUM
Press these buttons
to get LEADER MATRYOSHKA
Press these buttons
to get POSTCARD
The rest of the souvenirs will just break if you buy them, and they will automatically be disposed of. When you have those 4 items, leave the Souvenir Machine.
Look at all 4 items
in your Inventory. Use the CHEWING GUM to chew it, so
you create CHEWED-UP GUM. Now in your Inventory, combine CHEWED-UP
GUM with LEADER MATRYOSHKA to create GUMMED
LEADER. Finally, combine GUMMED LEADER with ROUND
KEYCHAIN to create STAMP. Now enter cubicle on the
right.
Talk to Chief Of
Security, and ask him to call for the Porter. He does so. Leave the
cubicle.
Walk left, and
continue left, until you see the Porter. Talk to the Porter, and give him
your SUITCASE. Walk left a few steps to the Reception
Desk. If the Receptionist is not there, ring the bell to summon
him. When he arrives, give him the STAMP you made.
Now it’s time for
you to stamp the relevant forms, as shown at the bottom right. The 3
forms you need to stamp are: red phone, bed, oval room key. You
must stamp them in the space provided. However, the forms are mixed in
with other forms that are irrelevant to you. Quickly click on the forms
that show the relevant picture, along with your photo. In other words,
click on the forms that show:
- your photo, and a red phone
- your photo, and a bed
- your photo, and an oval room key
Each form is ticked
at the bottom right, after it is stamped. When you have stamped all 3
forms correctly, he authorises you to use Room 368. Look at the PAMPHLET he
gives you. Now climb up stairs on the left, and make your way to Room
368.
ROOM 368
Explore the
room. Look at the hatch next to the door, and open the hatch. You
can’t do anything with it at the moment, so just close it again.
Look at the GAS
MASK that’s hanging on the wall next to the Grandfather Clock, and
take the GAS MASK. Look at Some Document that’s on the floor
under the cabinet. Look at the light switch on the wall, and use the
light switch. It turns on the lamp on the right… but only for a short
time. Look at the bathroom - you need authorisation before you can use
it!
Look at the
Telephone Corner. Use the Hotel Flyer, flip through all the pages,
reading all the information on each page as you go. Take special note of
the phone numbers shown here. Dial 11 (Reception) and ask about
everything. Dial 22 (Ideological Hotline) and ask about everything.
The other phone numbers are not relevant at the moment, so just leave the Phone
Corner.
Look at the Library
Book Case next to the bed. Take CHERNOBYEL LAUNDRY DETERGENT.
Listen to the radio message about BEET 11\BEET 12\BEET 13. Now leave the
Library Book Case.
Use the light
switch in the wall on the right - this turns on the light in the
bathroom. Pick up BATHROOM APPLICATION, which is in the
foreground, on the right. Someone knocks at the door, so go and answer
it.
Open the door - the
Guard has arrived. Look at the door, and notice that there are 2 door
numbers shown on your door - how strange! Talk to the Guard and work
through all the dialogue. When conversation is over, give him your BATHROOM
APPLICATION. Now you have to stamp the application. It’s really
a picross puzzle. Click your stamp in the correct squares. If you
make a mistake, simply click in that square again. Fill it out, so it
looks like this.
You now have
permission to use the bathroom. Enter the bathroom.
Explore the
bathroom. Look at the mirror to see a close-up. Take SHAVING
BRUSH and take SHAVING RAZOR. Look at SHAVING
RAZOR in your Inventory, and pull out the pin at the bottom to
get RAZOR BLADE and GRENADE. Now leave the
mirror.
Look at the toilet
paper that’s hanging on a rope from the ceiling, and take ROLL OF
TOILET PAPER. Now leave the bathroom.
Give ROLL
OF TOILET PAPER to the Guard at the door. He gives you DISGUST
SOAP in return. Close the room door, so the Guard can‘t see you
anymore. Enter the bathroom again.
Look at the bath
tap, and use the bath tap to turn on the water. Use STAMP with
the plug in the bath to fill it up. Use DISGUST SOAP with
the tub of water, so it turns into a bubble bath. Now use the bath.
That’s Point 1 from the PAMPHLET ticked off. You hear
another knock at your door, so leave the bathroom, and go to answer it.
The Porter has
brought your suitcase, and throws it onto the bed. Look at your suitcase,
and open it. Hey, wait a minute… this isn’t your suitcase!
Take PACKED TENNIS RACKET from the suitcase. Take BLACK
SOCKS from the suitcase. Look at the flyer in the
suitcase. In your Inventory, look at PACKED TENNIS RACKET,
and open it to get the TENNIS RACKET. Leave the
suitcase.
Walk right a few
steps, and look at the dusty carpet. Use TENNIS RACKET with
the dusty carpet. You automatically wear the GAS MASK, and
beat the dusty carpet clean. The carpet falls, revealing Door 369.
When prompted, use the following dialogue options.
- Anna Eaglove
- Trust the man
- Focus on finding the recording
The Prisoner behind
the door tells you that there is a secret recording device hidden somewhere in
the room. Look at the restaurant elevator next to Door 369. Pick
up RESTAURANT APPLICATION. In your Inventory, look at RESTAURANT
APPLICATION, then open RESTAURANT APPLICATION. You have
to stamp the 5 correct forms, as shown on the right. Give RESTAURANT
APPLICATION to the Guard at the door. As before, you need to
stamp the correct forms in the space provided. The forms are mixed in
with other forms that are irrelevant to you, so you need to be careful.
Quickly click on the forms that show the relevant picture, along with your
photo.
- Fork
- Beetroot Borscht
- Vodka
- Ham
- Can
When you’ve done it
correctly, he authorises you to use the hotel restaurant. Use the
Telephone Corner. Use the phone, and dial 55 (Restaurant). When
prompted, choose the following option.
- Order the ‘Sticky Fingers Combo‘.
Walk right a few
steps, and use the restaurant elevator 2 times. Use tray from the
restaurant elevator 2 times. Look at the Fish Feast note, so you know
exactly what’s on the plate. Take LOAF OF BREAD from the
tray. Take glass of KVASS from the tray. In your
Inventory, look at LOAF OF BREAD, then use LOAF OF
BREAD to get some FLOUR. Now look at KVASS,
then use KVASS to drink it, and get the EMPTY GLASS.
In your Inventory, use FLOUR with the EMPTY
GLASS to get GLASS OF FLOUR. Click on the cover to
send the empty tray back down to the restaurant. Leave the restaurant
elevator.
Walk left a few
steps, and use the Telephone Corner. Use the phone and dial 55
(Restaurant). When prompted, choose the following option.
- Order the ‘Colours Of Red Combo‘.
Walk right a few
steps, and use the restaurant elevator 2 times. Use tray from the
restaurant elevator 2 times. Look at the Meast Feast note, so you know
exactly what’s on the plate. Take BORSCHT (beetroot
soup) from the tray. Click on the cover to send the empty tray back down
to the restaurant. Leave the restaurant elevator.
Walk left a few
steps, and enter the bathroom.
In the bathroom,
look at the mirror, then use TENNIS RACKET with the mirror, to
smash it. Look at the hidden camera and the hidden recorder.
Take SPY RECORDER from it’s hiding place. In your
Inventory, look at the SPY RECORDER, and press Play to listen to
the recording. The voices on the tape are planning to kill someone!
Remove the ruined tape from the recorder. Leave the SPY RECORDER.
Leave the mirror.
Look at the empty
washer on the left, and put BLACK SOCKS into the empty
washer. It becomes Socks In The Washer. Use CHERNOBYEL
LAUNDRY DETERGENT with Socks In The Wash, then use the Washer to turn
it on. Your BLACK SOCKS turn white. Pick up WHITE
SOCKS from the floor. In your Inventory, use WHITE
SOCKS with BORSCHT to get RED SOCKS.
That’s Point 2 from the PAMPHLET ticked off.
Use GLASS
OF FLOUR with the tub of water, and you end up with a GLASS OF
GLUE. In your Inventory, look at your PASSPORT, and
use RAZOR with the PHOTO in your PASSPORT to
cut it out. Use SHAVING BRUSH with the GLASS OF
GLUE, then use GLUE with your PHOTO to
get PHOTO WITH GLUE. Leave the bathroom.
Walk right a few
steps, and talk to Door 369. The man locked in that room gives you
a BLANK PASS. He also tells you to listen to the radio.
The phone starts ringing, so answer the phone. It’s Anna. She talks
to you in code, so that anyone eavesdropping on the conversation won’t
understand what’s really going on. After the conversation, combine PHOTO
WITH GLUE from your Inventory with the BLANK PASS to
get a PASS. Walk left a few steps, and give PASS to
the Guard at the door. The Guard finally allows you to leave the
room. Walk left to the hall.
LOBBY
Head right, and
continue right, until you see the cubicle. Enter the cubicle.
Look at the
reel-to-reel player on the wall. Interact with the reel-to-reel player to
get AUDIO TAPE. In your Inventory, use AUDIO
TAPE with the SPY RECORDER. Leave the cubicle.
Head left, and make
your way back up to your room.
ROOM 368
In your room, walk
right to the Library Book Case next to your bed. Listen to the radio
message about BEET 11\BEET 12\BEET 13. Look at the SPY
RECORDER in your Inventory, then press the Record Button on the SPY
RECORDER. The AUDIO TAPE should already be
installed. When prompted, choose to record the following message.
- BEET 13
Exit the close-up
of your SPY RECORDER.
Walk left a few
steps, and look at the hatch next to the door. Open the hatch, and it
becomes Nuclear Shelter 10-Z. Look in the Nuclear Shelter.
Look at the socket
in the red area at top left of the Nuclear Shelter, and plug your SPY
RECORDER into the socket. The red area turns green. Look
at the big red button on the left, and press it a few times to see that the
output cycles between Bathroom, Bedroom, and Hall. Press the red button
until the red Hall section is highlighted. Now use the SPY
RECORDER at the top left to play the recording BEET 13 out in the
Hall. Leave the Nuclear Shelter.
Open the bedroom
door and go down to the lobby.
LOBBY
Walk right a few
steps - you should see all the hotel employees kneeling in front of the golden
statue. Use this opportunity, and enter the cubicle.
In the cubicle,
look at the keys hanging up on the back wall. Take KEY TO ROOM
369 from the back wall.
If you click on the
wrong key, the hotel employees will stop worshiping the golden statue and
return to their posts, and you’ll be caught. If that happens, you’ll have
to play the recording in the Nuclear Shelter in your room again. When you
have the correct key, leave the cubicle.
Head left, and make
your way back up to your room.
ROOM 368
Walk right to the
locked door, and use KEY TO ROOM 369 in the locked door to
unlock it. The Prisoner is free! He gives you a CHESS PIECE,
then hides out… behind the locked door again! Walk left, leave your room,
and go back down to the Lobby.
LOBBY
The hotel employees
are back at their relevant positions. Go to the Reception Booth and talk
to the Second Guard. He tells you that you cannot leave the hotel
property, so give him TENNIS RACKET, give him GAS MASK,
and give him PAMPHLET. Head right, and continue right, until
you see Sergeant Miedviediev standing to the Exit door. Talk to Sergeant
Miedviediev, and he’ll take you out of the hotel, and into Crimson
Square.

CRIMSON SQUARE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CRIMSON SQUARE
Walk left a few
steps, and talk to Carter. Unfortunately, he only speaks Matryoshkan, so
you can’t understand him. Look at Carter’s horse. Look at the Florist
next to the Hotel Entrance door, and try and talk to her. You can’t
understand what she’s saying. Walk right a few steps, look at the
Butcher, and talk to the Butcher - you can’t understand him. Look at the
Wisent skull that’s hanging above the Butcher’s stall. Try to talk to the
Guard that’s standing in front of the Metro Station - you can’t understand him
either. Look at the proclamations on the wall of the Metro Station.
Look at the long line of people. Look at the fountain, the plaque, and
the statue above the fountain. Now walk up, into the Construction
Site.
CONSTRUCTION SITE
Sergeant
Miedviediev has followed you into the construction site. Explore the
area. Talk to Senior Citizen on the right, and work through all the
dialogue with him. He gives you a MATRYOSHKA PHRASE BOOK.
Look at MATRYOSHKA PHRASE BOOK in your Inventory, and read
through the book to understand the Matryoshka language. Take the DOOR
MAT that’s lying on the ground in front of Senior Citizen - it turns
out to be a COMIC BOOK. Walk lift, and return to Crimson
Square.
CRIMSON SQUARE
Once again, Sergeant
Miedviediev has followed you. He’s sitting at the fountain below the
giant statue. He’s determined not to let you out of his sight.
There must be a way to distract him, so you can get on with things without him
watching you. Give COMIC BOOK to Sergeant
Miedviediev.
Walk right a few
steps, and talk to Mysterious Lady sitting next to the gate of the
palace. Ask her about everything. After a weird conversation with
her, she gives you a SMALL BOTTLE. She also tells you that
the code for the radio at the station is 777, Remember that.
Walk left a few
steps, to the fountain. Ignore Sergeant Miedviediev. Use SMALL
BOTTLE with the fountain to get SMALL BOTTLE OF WATER.
Talk to people in
the Long Line. They’re rather hostile towards you. Walk left a few
more steps, and talk to the Guard outside the Metro Station - the Station is
apparently closed indefinitely.
Continue left and
talk to the Butcher - he tells you that he doesn’t have any meat, because the
Leader took it all. Look at Map on the wall next to the Butcher, and look
at all the various places on the Map.
Walk all the way
left, and talk to Carter (next to the horse). Give CHESS PIECE to
Carter - he tells you about an old secret tunnel that can get you into the
Metro Station, and the entrance is under Jozwiok’s house. Jozwiok’s house
has been torn down, but the entrance is still there, in the Construction
Site. Walk right a few steps, then go up into the Construction
Site.
CONSTRUCTION SITE
Look at the
concrete slab on the ground - the entrance to Metro Station is hidden under the
slab - you just have to find a way to move the slab. Talk to the
Surveyor. He’s rather busy, and needs to concentrate. Use the horn
next to the Surveyor to reveal the sleeping workers. Use the horn again
to lower a steel bar. Look at bathroom and toilet in the building in the
background. Talk to Welding Woman - she’s not very happy about being
forced to work here.
Step onto the steel
bar, and you’ll be lifted up to the top of the crane. Talk to Crane
Operator and ask him to move the concrete slab. When prompted, use the
following dialogue option.
- Offer vodka
Now ask him to
lower you down.
You need to find a
crate of vodka for the Crane Operator. Walk left, and make your way back
to Crimson Square.
CRIMSON SQUARE
Walk right, and
continue right, until you see Suspicious Guy. Talk to Suspicious Guy - he
tells you that if you give him a bottle of vodka, you can play him to win an
entire crate of vodka. Talk to the Mysterious Lady, and work through the
dialogue to get some clues.
Walk left to the
Butcher, and talk to the Butcher. He tells you that he’ll give you a
bottle of vodka if you give him a meat ration card.

have a MEAT RATION CARD or a SUGAR RATION CARD.
They will each trade their RATION CARD for some flour.
Walk all the way left.
Talk to Carter on
the left, and use the following dialogue option.
- Ask for help.

CRIMSON SQUARE
Walk left, until
you see the Florist in front of the hotel. Talk to the Florist and tell
her that you need a flower. The customer leaves. Talk to the
Florist again to see a close-up of her. Look at her and talk to
her. She’s having a hard time making ends meet. Look at the baby,
and talk to the baby. He likes strange new words. The Florist asks
you to make him smile. Use the following dialogue options.
- Chimanarium
- Danfangogrim
- Vernehood
- Keymonlandis
You manage to make
the baby laugh, so the Florist gives you a ROSE to say ‘Thank
you’. Talk to the Florist again, and ask about the CARNATION.
Give her some RUPIEJKAS to buy the CARNATION.
In your Inventory, combine CARNATION with SMALL BOTTLE
OF WATER to create BOTTLE OF PERFUME. Look at the
dog, and look at the empty dog bowl. Poor dog. When you’re ready,
leave the Florist.
Walk right a few
steps, then go up to the Construction Site.
CONSTRUCTION SITE
Give ROSE to
the Welder Woman. Give BOTTLE OF PERFUME to the Welder
Woman. The Surveyor turns around to face the other way. While his
back is turned, use the Theodolite equipment, and adjust the camera to look at
the top of the building, to see some sand on the roof. Walk up to the
Building Under Construction.
You have to enter
the correct doorways to find your way up to the roof. Go through the
doorways like so.
When you reach the roof, take the RAKE from the pile of
sand on the right. Look at the ladder on the left. Leave the leave
the building. Walk left, and leave the Construction Site.
CRIMSON SQUARE
Walk left to the Butcher. Notice the hooks next to the Butcher,
and look at WISENT SKULL above the hooks. Use RAKE with WISENT
SKULL to reach it. Talk to Florist on the left, to get a
close-up of her.
Place WISENT SKULL in the empty dog bowl. It
lands on the dog, preventing him from getting to you, so now you can take
the EMPTY BOWL. Leave the Florist.
Walk right to the fountain. Use EMPTY BOWL with
the fountain to get BOWL OF WATER. Now go up into the
Construction Site.
CONSTRUCTION SITE
Pour BOWL OF WATER into the concrete mixer on the

the concrete mixer to get BOWL WITH MORTAR. Leave the
Construction Site.
CRIMSON SQUARE
Head left, and continue left, until you see Carter. Give BOWL

horse. At the end of it, you’ll have CAP WITH HOOF.
Walk right a few steps, and go up into the Construction Site.
CONSTRUCTION SITE
Give CAP WITH HOOF to the Welding Woman. She’ll
give you a HORSESHOE in return. Leave the Construction
Site.
CRIMSON SQUARE
Go left to where Carter is standing. Give him the HORSESHOE.
Take BAG OF FLOUR from his cart. Walk right, to the Long
Line of people.
If you remember, there are 2 people wanting flour. Wait until you
see the icon for the sugar, then give BAG OF FLOUR to the
woman, who will trade you for her SUGAR RATION CARD. Now head
up into the Construction Site.
CONSTRUCTION SITE
Walk right, all the way to the Senior Citizen. Give him the SUGAR
RATION CARD, and he gives you a MEAT RATION CARD as
trade. Leave the Construction Site.
CRIMSON SQUARE
Walk left to the Butcher. Give MEAT RATION CARD to
the Butcher, and he gives you a bottle of DOBRA VODKA. Now,
remember Sergeant Miedviediev, who’s sitting at the fountain? Before you
do anything else, you’ll need to move the Sergeant out of the way. Take
the COMIC BOOK from him, then walk up into the Construction
Site.
CONSTRUCTION SITE
Sergeant Miedviediev is sitting on the bench here. Give him back
the COMIC BOOK to keep him busy, then leave the Construction
Site.
CRIMSON SQUARE
Walk right, and continue right, until you see the Suspicious Guy.
Give DOBRA VODKA to him, and he challenges you to a
game. The aim of the game is to choose which of the 3 glasses contains
water, after he has juggled them around. You have to choose correctly 3
times. This changes for every game, so you have to watch carefully.
When you win, the Suspicious Guy should pass out drunk. Take CRATE
OF DOBRA VODKA from the stall. Walk left a few steps, then go up
into the Construction Site again.
CONSTRUCTION SITE
Time to move Sergeant Miedviediev again. Take the COMIC
BOOK form him, then walk up to Crimson Square.
CRIMSON SQUARE
Sergeant Miedviediev is sitting at the fountain - give him the COMIC
BOOK to keep him occupied. Walk up to the Construction
Site.
CONSTRUCTION SITE
Walk right, onto the steel bar, so you are lifted up to the Crane
Operator. Give CRATE OF DOBRA VODKA to the Crane
Operator. He lowers you back down. Use the horn next to the
Surveyor, and the Crane Operator will lower the hook. Attach the crane
hook to the concrete slab, then use the horn again. The Crane Operator
raises the hook, thus lifting the concrete slab. Look at the bottomless
hole that’s revealed - you need a ladder. Enter the Building Under
Construction.
In the Building
Under Construction, attach the hook to the ladder - the ladder is automatically
lifted down to the ground.
Use the horn next
to the Surveyor again, and the ladder will be placed into the Bottomless
Hole. Climb down the Bottomless Hole.
Watch the cut
