That's what I do, I went to the office, I got the salad, I looked at the books, the papers on the desk, the computer and... I got nothing afterwards.
When I go back to see Sara, nothing more happens.
When I go to the downstairs bathroom or first floor bathroom, he either tells me there's no one there or someone's having fun.
The talk powder, I can't find it anywhere. And I don't have it in the bag, in case I accidentally looted it.
I'm at 100 in love points with Andrea, 50 with Nancy, 35 with Lilly, 59 with Sophia, 5 with Sara, and Isabela is pregnant.
I done the section again, and this is the step by step guide.
*Ok just checked The mandatory talk is happening the first time you get into richards office. So nevermind that about the entering when you shouldnt, to trigger the jeweler and launderer discussion. It happens anyway.
As a memo you get the key from Andrea at love points 50.
Ok so what I did:
I. In Office Take the Salad, Investigate Books, Investigate Papers, Investigate PC, Continue
*Exit to test if it triggers or not*
II. Basement (impossible to enter)
III. Get back in Office (SAME NIGHT) -> Talk to Lilly (SAME NIGHT)
IV. Exit
V. Advance to daytime
VI. Go to Sara -> Talk about Richard (it tells you to go to the basement)
VII. Go to Bathroom (First Floor, where Richard Office is) at any hour, should work I did it at 09:55, and Look yourself, Take the Talcum Powder
VIII. Basement - Use the Talcum Powder, Enter, Talk with the man, Talk with John, Give Drink. Ask his imprisonment. Press Back and advance to the next plot line. Seems DEV fixed the back issue now, the getting stuck into conversation.
That is it.
*Also Richard has some new discussions about Andrea.
Hope it helps.
Thanks, it worked. Now I'm basically at the maze labyrinth stage.
I went to mechanics and read the letter.
I know that by going to the balcony, you can see the maze in the distance but... how to reach it? There is the question.
Otherwise, when I go back to John, I have no follow-up dialogue or an option to go back, except to reload the save.
Get Sophia on 20 Love Points, she will tell you about the maze and you can explore it from the Garden.
