The Search for the Dahu
Intrepid reporter Crystal is in the alps, trying to hunt down a strange and reclusive creature, but with the amount of obstacles in her way and the oddball way she solves them, that's easier said than done in this short point-and-click adventure from Carmel Games.

Very short game. Walkthrough!
Van
You can't do anything here yet. Note the locked van and the long grass, then continue on to the cottage.
Cottage
Take the AXE from the stump and the FISHING POLE from the porch
The locked cabinet:
Code for the cabinet is 495
Take the METAL DETECTOR
Van
Too bad you can't see in that tall grass. Anything you have that could help?
Use the METAL DETECTOR on the grass to get VAN KEY
Open up that van!
Use the VAN KEY on the VAN and get the SCREWDRIVER and WALLET
Go right twice to the pond
Pond
Why don't you try fishing?
All you got was a boot? Try again
And a can? Try one more time
Take the POCKET KNIFE
Cut the BAMBOO with the AXE
Use the KNIFE on the BAMBOO to make a whistle
Hm, looks like that SIGN is held on with a screw
Use the SCREWDRIVER on the SIGN to get SIGN then head right to the bottom of the mountain
Bottom of Mountain
You can talk to the French woman for some funny dialogue, but nothing important
Talk to the man (Augustin) to learn you need a helmet costing 45 euros
Expensive, but pay for the helmet so you can go up the mountain
Ouch, that looks like it hurt. Maybe we can help him later
Turn the LIGHT from red to green, then proceed right into the tunnel
Tunnel
Uh oh, looks like the stairs are broken. Do you have anything in your purse that would help?
Use the SIGN on the stairs to make a ramp
Examine the button and the round gear. Drops a rope down but nothing comes up.
Nothing more to do here, so proceed right to the mountaintop
Mountaintop
Check out the view. Too bad we can't see anything
Grab the HOOK sticking out of the ground and head left to go back down
Tunnel
Use the HOOK on the rope, then send it down
It's stuck on something! Head left back down to the bottom of the mountain to investigate
Bottom of Mountain
You pulled the rock of Augustin. Take his BINOCULARS and head back up to the top of the mountain
Mountaintop
Is there a way to call the Dahu?
Use the WHISTLE on CRYSTAL
Something tiny is on the far away mountains. Use something to see it better
Use the BINOCULARS on the ANIMAL
Congratulations, you've found the Dahu!
Something not mentioned in the above walkthrough:
To get the code for the cabinet, translate the Roman numerals written on the tree by the pond.
Thank you! I knew I forgot something!
For those of you who don't know French, I'll really translate what she just said:
First -
"Hello, my name is Christine. Let me give you some advice: whatever you do, don't climb the mountain in those high heels - it's very dangerous!"
Second -
"That's not what I said! I'm pretty sure you don't speak French."
In case you wanted to know what the joke here is, the Dahu, much like the Drop Bear of Australia, is a fictional creature that French, Swiss and Italian native like to convince foreigners is real and spread tales about. It usually looked like an ibex mixed with a mountain goat, but around the time of exploration of the North American frontier the myth traveled further and the description became more vague as explorers claimed to see them in other places. This led to the adoption of many names for it, including Guyascutus, Cutercurse, Cuter-Cuss, Godphro, Gudaphro, Gouger, Guyanoosa, Gwinter, Hunkus, Lunkus, Mountain Stem-Winder, Prock, Prock Gwinter, Sidehill-Dodger, Sidehill-Ganger, Sidehill-Gouger, Rickaboo Racker, Rockabore, Sawger, Sideswipe and Sidewinder.
Even when I knew they were there I couldn't see the
Roman numerals on the tree
because they were so dark. I had to get out my virtual magnifying glass to see them.
I think it's better when puzzles are hidden in plain sight (they could have used the bamboo) than just obscured with dark on dark (I'm looking at you too, Monkey Go Happy).
Short, simple, and a little boring. No offense on the creator, but they could have chosen a better voice actor for the interviewer...it was painful to listen to her speak and draaag ooout eeeverythiiing she saaid for a horrible dramatic effect. I can understand if the character is trying to portray someone whose kinda silly, but...the acting just killed it...
