darkchiron plays Deja Vu - Part 1 of 5


darkchiron makes an introduction for his LP of Deja Vu.


Now for the game!

You wake up in a bathroom stall. You have a huge headache, your right hand is covered with dried blood which most likely isn't yours, you have a tiny puncture on your left arm and you have complete amnesia.

This is going to make for an interesting game.

The gameplay is very similar to Shadowgate, and also similar to Uninvited, which I still have yet to cover. The action will be in the upper-left, the  inventory will be in the upper-right and the commands, map and text that summarizes all the action will be at the bottom.

Take the coat. From there, take the .38 caliber pistol off the hook that you'll find behind the coat. 

Believe it or not, you can Use the .38 caliber pistol (known hereafter as "Gun1") on Self and prematurely end the game, making for one of the fastest Game Over attempts in video game history.

Okay, okay, enough funny business. Open the Coat. Take everything inside. When you get to the Wallet, Open the Wallet and take everything in there as well. Open the door in front of you. It's time to get going. Use the Move command and the screen at the upper-left corner to get to where you need to go.

When you head forward, Examine the mirror. You'll look at yourself and realize you don't even know who you are. You can now leave the bathroom.

When you enter the dingy hallway, you'll see a trail of water when you open the door back to the bathroom where you came from. Go back in. Turns out there's a door to the left of the sink. Open it up. You'll find a toilet, and if you Examine it you'll find out it's cracked and leaky to the point that water ends up in the hallway. If you Open the toilet, you'll find out nothing is inside.

Go back to the dingy hallway. Open the door on the right and go in. You'll be in Joe's Bar. Take the Seltzer that is on the counter, then Use it on Self. You'll drink the Seltzer, which you'll need to do so you don't die this early in the game. Be sure to use the Gum on Self as well.

Go up the stairs and examine the pictures of the boxers oon the wall. One of them will be a picture of you with the name "Ace Harding" under it, but it still doesn't ring a bell. Open the door in front of you and go in.

You'll be in an office that smells of cheap perfume. Open the desk, then open Envel.1. Inside the envelope is a Bill. Examine it. It's made out from Doctor Brody to Joe's Bar, 934 Sherman St., Chicago, Illinois. Apparently it's for capsules, Sodium Pentothal, Medrezine and Diethanol Trimene. It is made out for a total of $132. That second item on the tab is pretty suspect, since it can be used for anesthesia as well as lethal injections for death penalty executions.

You'll record the Sherman St. address after you finish reading the Bill. From there, Take the Bill.

The door will be left. Thankfully, you have Key1. Use Key1 on the door to open it. When you go in, you'll find a dead man slumped over with his hand on a phone receiver, which is cut. There's something in his pocket. Open the desk and Take the Key3 and Pencil.

Open the pocket, To do this, select the Open command and use the hand cursor on on the dead guy's suit. Take the Key2 from him, then Open the window behind the dead guy. Before you leave, Examine him. He seems familiar, but you can't quite put your finger on it.

From here, move to the window and go up. Open the window, then go in. There is some sort of chair with straps on it here. Take the middle of the three bottles below the window, which is Medic.2. Use the Open command on the wastebasket between the chair and the elevator door and Take the Capsules.

Use the Hit command on the button next to the elevator. The elevator will open. Get in, and press the second button out of the four to go back to the second floor. Go back down the staircase and open the door behind it. You'll be in the wine cellar. Use the Open command on the winetap on the barrel to the right to open the spigot. Examine the wine rack and you'll notice there's no dust on the rack. Use the Hit command on the wine rack to open a secret passage! Go in!

There are two doors, one to the left and one to the right. There is also a ladder in the floor leading downward. Open the door to the left first. Inside is a casino. Use a coin on the slot machines. Get some coins while you're here.
