Just to the west of Alfolter's front door is a bench with a Newspaper on it. On the way out, take the Telescopic Key to the factory from the coat stand near the front door. Looks like Kate isn't going home anytime soon! Alfolter tells you to start looking in the factory for possible clues. It appears that Hans Voralberg, Anna's younger brother, is still alive. Take a seat, then ask him about 'Mission'. Head to the east, then through the double doors to meet Alfolter the notary, to whom Marson's fax was addressed.

The person inside uses the automaton to read the fax, and you are admitted into the building. use the lever on its chest to lower the head, then place Fax 2 into its hand, and finally pull the lever at its shoulder. It appears to be an automaton that can read, so. Continue onwards and you will come to a building where you can examine something in the doorway. A baker standing outside the boulangerie will inform you that all the shops in Valadilene are closed today as a sign of respect for the passage of Anna Voralberg. Once outside the hotel, head to the west. OK, we've done everything we can do here for the time being. Then take the two Cog Wheels from the table, and the two from the floor. Note the pattern that Momo has etched into the table. Then go over to the table where Momo was working and examine it. While you're at it, grill the clerk about all the new conversation topics that have appeared. Sure enough, if you now go back downstairs and ask the clerk about 'Mission', he produces Fax 2. Marson promises to send a fax to aid Kate in her mission. When he leaves, go over to the bedside table and read Fax 1, then call Marson on 12 458 902 and inform him that Anna has passed away. Then he takes the suitcase and walks you up to Room 6. During the conversation, the clerk chases off Momo. That's when you learn that the funeral you witnessed upon your arrival was that of Anna Voralberg, the person with whom you were supposed to arrange the takeover of the factory. Talk to the clerk again, and ask for 'Help'.

When you try to pick up Kate's suitcase, she says she's too tired to carry it any further.

So head up the stairs next, and Kate informs you that you need to take your luggage. He's busy working on something and can't be disturbed at the moment. Before you head upstairs, you can go to the left side of the room and try to speak to Momo. Talk to him, and Kate informs him that her company booked a room. Use it on the figure to wind him up, then press the red button. Examine the little figure on the reception counter, and then pick up the Reception Bell Key to its right. Just to Kate's right after she enters the hotel, there's a cabinet which contains an Advertising Brochure that tells you the history of Valadilene and the Voralberg family, famous producers of intricate automatons. Then she enters the hotel and the game begins. Kate views a funeral procession presided over by some curious looking automatons. Publisher: Microids/DreamCatcher/The Adventure Company
