Why can't our character kick the door out himself instead of food making? ( I mean the door of the shed ).
To make the story more than 5 hours play? :

No solutions please. Just yes or no.
Kinda along the right track. but I think you are still missing a couple of items.
Have you been everywhere or are there places to look that you can't get into at the moment

Do not worry, I will not give you the solution.
But, if you still need another hint concerning the peanut butter part. Here it is:
Have you talked to Carla, the fat drag queen?
Remember that Carla told you that their friends hid the key to the refrigerator? Now where could it be....
If you did not find the key yet, that is probably the reason why you are stuck. Work on finding the key!!
Before finding the key, though, you need to deal with the annoying muscle dude at the barn. He is clearly guarding something...but what? Have you passed that part?

Yeah, I thought I need the key, but where is it? I'll have to do some pixel hunting today...
Oh, and by the way, I got past that muscle guy.

Possibly you might need to close the bus door with something

You are wrong about one of the items mentioned.

Mr.'s Brian's inner mind - I feel angry today. Let's kick some bikes. This nice crowbar should help me. Ohh, I feel the rage. Here, take this, take this, you big bad motorcycle.Oh my, a handle came off. It might be useful you know...
P.S. Thanks for help.

My final thoughts: could have been an incredible adventure game but some flaws make it barely a good one.
In-game graphics: A
Animations: A
Music: A
Story: B
Cut-scenes: C
Overall game-play: C
Puzzles: E (with a few exceptions at B, but come on, the train area for example was way too stupid for me ! Not funny, not logic, not clever, just plain dumb)
Final ranking: C+

I think most people will agree with you. I have a bit higher final ranking than you Baron, but I totally agree on the puzzles bit. Lots of them did not make much sense, and were tucked in the game without much relevance to the story + extreme pixel hunting.
But still I think it is the best adventure released so far this year...

Really pleased until I hit chapter 2. Holy sh*t! Enough with the Mayan ruins already, people! Okay, so far, they don't dominate the game, but just the site of anything Mayan in an adventure game makes me want to gag! That is so played out! Let's focus on another culture for a change, as long as it's not Atlantis!
Okay, on to Chapter 3.....

Yeah, I know what you mean. I was a little worried they might center another game around "The (insert ancient culture of your choice) knew the answer to life, the universe, and everything, really!" But chapter two is the last you'll see of them, thankfully.

If it's not as dead easy as Syberia, then the puzzles must suck, right? I did not find Runaway difficult to solve and actually liked the puzzle design that doesn't just let you pick up everything that isn't nailed down.
In fact, comparing the "sensibility" of puzzles in Runaway vs. Syberia might be interesting. Maybe the problem is that Runaway is a game in more or less realistic setting while most of the places, people and situations in Syberia are so bizarre that no puzzle solution can be too weird?
I forgot my sig.

| Deleted User | Disagree with you Baron & Dimi :-
Stinger (Evan Dickens) review gave it 4˝ stars out of 5 ... almost their highest accolade.
I personally thought it was VERY good, & would rate it as somewhere between 8˝ & 9 out of a max. of 10.
I certainly liked it enough to write a walkthru ... to be polished up a bit & reposted in 2 to 3 days time!

As far as pixel hunting, I didn't find that to be a problem at all.
I look forward to playing it again.

***SPOILER***
Am I the only one who thought Brian had much more chemistry with Sushi than with that bitch Gina, who was unconscious most of the time and lying through her teeth the rest? Even in chapter two, before knowing the plot, I was just wishing he'd kick her out of the car when she was guilt-tripping him about not wanting to help her out. Thinking about it, "Brian's Berkeley Adventure" brought to you by the people who made "Igor: Objective Uikokahonia" could have been pretty fun

I agree! I thought for a minute there that he was going to dump Gina off at the bus stop and stay with Sushi. I was hoping he would, anyway). Oh well, maybe she'll surface again in the sequel and steal his heart away.

Hmmm, let's see...
A healthy, normal young man who had already spent WAY too much time indoors studying with practically zero exposure to fun social activities and wordly experiences - let alone sex...
and then along comes an exciting, gorgeous, dangerous girl with many secrets who immediately lures him into a whirlwind adventure all across the country to combat bad guys and solve a great mystery.
In the end, she also arrives in a very cool new, red convertible with lots of cash and offers him a year of total freedom on a luxurious tropical isle - presumably with lots of hot sex.
If he had turned her down, I think he should have been shot on sight.
Cheers, Terry
