Great game!

Not Bad, Not bad at all.

Wow! It's just over a year since Ice put out the very enjoyable Working Man. I hope there is another game being developed. Any updates Ice?

Hi, Working Man took me 2 years to finish, so don't get your hopes up too much just yet...

Hey Ice, with a complex plot AND graphics, I am not surprised! Looking forward to your next one whenever it happens.

[Happy tie]

Really one of the best AIF game I played.

Anyone have a problem with the .exe of this now?

I tried playing it after updating to WIN10 and getting a new version of Office, and I'm getting this error preventing me from loading the game:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

Currently playing on Win10 x64
Have you tried to run the game in compatibility? (Windows 7 and maybe Admin)

Only time I get the exception is if I "screw around" like click the "link" words multiple times....doing things too often. but so far the Compatibility thing has prevented exceptions.

(Now to the reason I signed up)

Does it mean its a game over if I exit the car without taking the keys?
I did so last night and today Laura wants me to goto the supermarket and I cant enter My car OR her's (says I dont wanna drive around in the boat...)
I tried to look for "spare keys" as you do when you lose your keys in RL, but that doesnt seem to be a workaround. so...Game Over?

Been quite some time since i played this game, so i may be wrong.
If you lock yourself out of the car, there should be some spare keys in a drawer in the hallway or the wife should give some to you. If not, then i'm remembering wrong and it probably is game over. But i do seem to recall that there should be a failsafe for those that forget their keys. (I too forgot them once, but i don't think it was a game over back then)
