I love playing games like this, and you got to stick to the theme. I failed on the first try, I think I was missing a clue or something. I only found 2 clues that were tell-tale, had to make a choice between the other 2, and I was misled because of the company founder thing ;p Good game!"},{"author_name":"filtoid","author_uid":"17606","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 8:25pm","epoch":1355775600,"text":"Yeah I like it - can't seem to restart though - think I got stuck, can't pick up screwdriver.
