14. CHAPTER TEN: VERA HUNG HERSELF
======================================================================
Wow, that's fast! Chapter Ten!

Depending on what you chose just now, you'll get a different ending at 
the end of this chapter. Regardless, you'll hear voice upstairs when 
you resume control at the foyer. You may want to save your game now to 
see the different endings. 

SECOND LEVEL
------------
Once you reach the second level, you'll see a cut-scene. Watch now as 
the killer confronts Vera. After watching the explanation, you can:

CHOICE #1
---------
Enter the bathroom and watch the murdere shot Vera shot dead. If 
you didn't save Lombard earlier, you'll achieve Ending #1: Narracott 
survives.

If you've saved Lombard earlier, you'll achieve Ending #2: Narracott 
and Lombard survive.

CHOICE #2
---------
Attack the murderer with the large chunk of marble (select it and 
point to the murderer's hand, which is holding the revolver). You'll 
rescue Vera. If you've didn't save Lombard earlier, you'll achieve 
Ending #3, Narracott and Vera survive.

If you rescued Lombard earlier, you'll achieve Ending #4: Narrcott, 
Lombard and Vera survived.

The murderer in all four scenarios are Emily Brent, or rather, 
Gabrielle Steele! The explanation of her motives is rather bland and 
unconvincing, really. A nice try by the game developers.

Below is a description of all the four endings:

ENDING #1: NARRACOTT SURVIVE
----------------------------
Your brother arrives and you escape from the island quickly in his 
car, so that you won't be misunderstood as the murderer.

ENDING #2: NARRACOTT AND LOMBARD SURVIVE
----------------------------------------
Lombard, or rather, Morley, agrees to write a statement to save your 
brother. He leaves soon after.

ENDING #3: NARRACOTT AND VERA SURVIVE
-------------------------------------
Vera explains to you about what happened between herself, Hugo and 
Cyril. It was Hugo who left Cyril to die. Both Vera and you get hot.

ENDING #4: NARRACOTT, LOMBARD AND VERA SURVIVE
----------------------------------------------
This is a combination of Ending #2 and #3. Morley writes a statement 
to save your brother, and Vera explains about Hugo and Cyril. Both 
Vera and you get hot.
 
Regardless of which ending you achieve, you'll get the opportunity to 
watch the REAL ending, that is, the original ending from the book.

To watch this ending, you'll have to play the game a little longer.

FOYER - BEGINNING OF ORIGINAL ENDING
------------------------------------
You'll begin in the foyer, beside the gramaphone. Hear Owen explains 
this ending, and heed his instructions to go to the dining room.

DINING ROOM
-----------
Examine the dining table to find an intact sailor boy figure - the 
last one there. Take it.

Head to the screening room now.

SCREENING ROOM
--------------
Examine the projector, and close-up until you see the drawers. Notice 
the bottom left corner of the top of the drawers has a small square. 
Select the sailor boy figure and point it towards this small square. 
This will unlock the previously locked top drawer. 

Open the top drawer to find a reel of film titled "Hello Again". Take 
this film and place it into the reel, and then turn the switch on the 
projector to watch the confession of Judge Lawrence Wargrave. 

Yes, the judge is the murderer in the book, and it's totally believable 
too. All hail Agatha Christie for this ingenious ending.

Congratulations to you for beating the game as well.
