Hetherdale
Hetherdale is a city of legend dreamed up by a mad poet... or so scholar Heather Montrose believes until she gets an invitation to come to Africa in search of it. A point-and-click adventure from the creators of Morningstar, Hetherdale is an ambitious game bogged down by some overly fussy puzzles, but with an interesting story at its core.

Cool game. I don't know if it's a bug or not, but at the end I was able to
Walk past the temple guardian and into the final scene with Ashcroft without doing any of the Necronomicon stuff
Bug? I dunno, but I can't
Examine the headdress under the microscope.
This game is really awesome for a point and click game you don't have to download :)
Tigrita --
It certainly seemed like there was a bug at the end, given that...
...the game lets you gather the things you'll need to create the shroud and pentagram. I assume there's a way to find the page that floats downstream (maybe from the alternate passage that showed a river), but before I could check that out I accidentally, and quite to my surprise, managed to walk right past the ghost like you did.
Can't progress, am I missing something?
I setup the explosives and connected the fuses, then spoke to the prof. Can't light the fuses b/c it says I need to setup the explosives and talk to the prof first. Grrrr....
Hi there,
Thanks for the review.
That was a bug at the end. It's not anymore :) Thanks for uncovering it, we'll be uploading the fixed version soon.
Regards,
The developers.
Quite enjoyed this game, though the ending was somewhat disappointing.
I did not encounter the bug, but then again, I didn't try to pass that part without
Banishing the guardian
Fritware, to get the page,
Go back to the embalming room and check the pond where you fell
Ellis
Are you trying to light the fuses at the wall or at the ends where Carrow and the Professor are?
I thought the ending was AWESOME. Perfect. This is a really nice game!
Toward the end of the game,
where you're supposed to use the torn page on the guardian, the guardian won't disappear for me
I even watched the walkthrough to make sure I had done everything else right, but no go. Is anyone else having problems with this?
Thanks, Althea.
On a separate note, I might just be squeamish, but I don't like puzzles in games like this where the solution is:
to kill an innocent animal to get some item you need. Specifically, the red bird. Most games, if they required you to fire a weapon at a bird in the first place, would have the bird fly off startled and conveniently drop a feather. Perhaps not so realistic, but at least there's minimal cruelty to animals.
Oddly enough, in a more cartoony game I'd have no problem with this.
-- F.
Fantastic game, challenging but solvable if you take your time. I enjoyed it very much (just as much as Morningstar).
Keep up the great work :D
Thanks for fixing the bug Red Herring Labs! Excellent game, I just played through again to do the part I missed the first time. I hope you release more games like this!
Game was good - only that I am really disappointed at the ending...
the bad guys will always be
the nazis
I'm at the part where
I've climbed over the wall, I've blown up the dam, and I've tied the chain to the tombstones. It says I'm not strong enough to pull the tombstone open.
Grrrrrrr, I was doing well until this part!

Enjoy ending.
In a way this game was similar to Morningstar. Had similar things going on.
Nevermind. That was a great game. I did find a glitch where I couldn't find the professor in the beginning of day 2. It didn't seem of any consequence though.
Interesting game although I had expected something a little harder, and the ending was VERY unsatisfactory, but a very well done game all the same.
Does anyone share my opinion on this?:
I thought the whole ending, with the death of Ashcroft and Dr. Harbach and her becoming insane was depressing, and I was annoyed by the fact that Mr. Burke is basically a red herring. SO, all in all If they had extended the game so that more things were explained plus because I think that an extended version of this game might actually be pretty cool.
But all together I liked the game
[Spoilers fixed. Please use preview to make sure your spoilers are formatted properly before posting. Thank you! :) -Jay]
I DONT know why my previous comment didn't have the spoiler thingys
so i'm SORRY if I just spoiled the ending for anyone reading through the comments. :(
Just wanted to know what people thought of this part of the closing scene.
In the final scene with Ashcroft, he warns you not to move. Given that he is watching you and menacing you with a gun, how on earth are you able to chuck something into the chasm? Also, if someone could explain WHY using the towel with the torch initiates the ending events, I would greatly appreciate the enlightenment.
That was really good. One of the best point-and-click games. I loved it.
Althea:
Underhanded toss from a flick of your wrist? Anyway, if you try to use the crossbow on him with the torch still lit, it says something to the effect of "this would be easier if it was darker". I think the towel was used to snuff the torch.
I also agree with Fritware. That was the first point where I really needed the walkthrough. It never occurred to me
that I would have to kill the parrot.
On a related note, I was also stuck at the point where
you had to blow up the wall.
I kept trying to think of ways around it.
Destruction of archeological sites is really not a good think, okay?
Althea --
Good questions.
I sort of assumed that Ashcroft didn't really want to shoot you (since he didn't just kill you when you came in), and so minor distractions wouldn't cause him to pull the trigger. That's inconsistent with his general disregard for life, but maybe he really wanted a live witness to his apotheosis (as all madman Nazis seem to want).
The towel: Although it's a little vague, I think you quickly smother the torch with the towel, plunging the chasm into near-darkness. In the darkness, Ashcroft can't really see you, so his bullet misses you while you get off a lucky crossbow shot. With Ashcroft dead, the entity locks onto you instead, provoking madness. Part of the confusion is that you don't actually need to use the crossbow on Ashcroft (I was expecting that you'd need to click on him in the dark with the crossbow).
-- F.
I am extremely upset by the fact that I had to destroy valuable archaeological artifacts just so that I could use a crossbow to kill a bird and obtain its feather.
As if that wasn't enough, one of the artifacts was destroyed unnecessarily to obtain feathers for fletching arrows, when everyone knows that crossbows don't even shoot arrows. They shoot bolts, which don't require fletching. It's precisely this sort of ignorance that has led us to our current state of global crisis.
Just saying.
Splendid game, loved the ending - very appropriate! Several games recently have reminded me of favourite authors; this storyline (though not the dialogue) could almost have been taken from a Lovecraft story. Now I have to look at Morningstar, too.
Decent game, though I didn't like how the bit with
The woman the poet was seeing was never resolved
Could have used some more explanation and tying up of loose plot ends - much like morningstar, actually.
For some reason the game won't load past about 10% for me. It says "infin seconds remaining" and then just sits there. Did anyone else have the same problem??? I really want to play the game, but since it won't load, I can't! BTW, I'm using Google Chrome. Would another browser work better?
For me, it's the
part where you blow up the dam with the grenade. Whenever I try, it says "I need to choke the detonation".
Did I miss something??
Oh and im sorry Jay, as soon as I posted the comment I realized that my spoilers didn't work and I couldn't edit my comment so I felt bad :(
But NOW I get how to use em'
THANKS

[No worries, thanks for the effort. :) -Jay]
What's so cool about Red Herring is that their games are superbly taut. There's hardly any red tape, or loose endings: everything fits together logically.
That fluidity of logic goes for the plot as well as the mechanics.
In terms of plot: for Morning Star as well as this one, they succeed in creating subtle characters that do things that fit with their type, without these things being trite.
In terms of mechanics, I'm happy that for once I don't have to combine the hairdryer with the stick of gum to create an atomic bomb. the logic of object handling adds to the realism you get from their games.
One thing I found a bit off putting was the whole guardian thing: far fetched and ill fitting. Otherwise, really well done, Red Herring. Engrossing, well-written, original. Keep it up!
Gabe,
make sure when you throw it in the river,it shows the hotspot. It'll say "river" where you are to throw it. just clicking any part of the river won't do it.
Sweet sweet game, the best of this kind i played online to be fair.
Its a shame that the ending sucks so much
I thought the ending was a nice twist, I like twists :)
Really great game to play, loved the storyline, the images and the game mechanics.
However, the only thing that I found irritating was having to traverse back and forth to solve puzzles. It made an already long-ish game longer than it needed to be.
Thanks for posting this one Dora. :)
Thoughts on the story's resolution. Does anyone else have impressions or opinions they'd like to share?
Okay. So Ashcroft(? -- I'm already forgetting the characters' names) implied earlier that he already knew all the things that our heroine has been discovering. That plus bits of the story itself led me to think some kind of time travel was involved. When Heather, at the very end, winds up in an insane asylum, it seemed to me as though she'd changed history somehow: The strange rift or whatever it was, instead of taking Ashcroft into the past, took Heather, and she's now taken the place of the poet who went mad.
Or am I mad and pulling strange things out of the ether?
@ Ray9na
Concerning your thoughts (and mine) on the game's ending:
The ending seemed confusing to me. The flash back at the very beginning was confusing. First of all, what does shooting the crossbow at Ashcroft do? Considering it's a crossbow I would think that it kills him, but it seems very against the Heather's personality. It could be she was consumed with anger over the professor's death, but that seems like a reach, and if so, isn't very well expressed.
Did it take them into the past? I thought it was just supposed to give them knowledge.
About the game overall:
I thought there were a lot plot holes. Or I just missed them. First of all, the crossbow arrows threw me off, mainly because crossbows shoot bolts. Which has been said before. We never really discovered what the poet was afraid of, as he said in his diary. Was he afraid of being sacraficed? I also didn't like how to figure out what you had to do next, you had to wander around and talk to everyone.
Overall, this was a great game! I loved the graphics and the gameplay. Don't get me wrong, it's very different from Morningstar, which I love. But it's a good different.
@Chicktionary,
You mentioned about having to traverse back and forth, and I just thought I'd tell you that you don't have to to that. If you open up the map on the upper left hand side, you can just click on the red x's and you'll be taken to wherever. The map is gone on day three, however. :)
Great game - kept me occupied for two days, off and on.
Pros:
Logical items/uses/combinations, for the most part (quill pen/blood/shroud?)
Logical unfolding/progression of locations.
Map (should be there throughout the game as it speeds up the play).
Captions! Hooray. Not only can I mute the sound. but hearing impaired people can play.
Cons:
The little character you have to direct (POV games are my personal preference)
Continual need to return to previous scenes.
Need to repeatedly talk to the same characters.
Map disappearance.
Subtitles missing in final sequence.
I'm not a stickler for plot, but this was a good one. It seemed like it could have been even better with a few tweaks and cuts. Still, as one commenter pointed out, this was a very big, fulfilling game for a non-download.
Thanks again, JIG!
Did anyone else think that Prof whatever her name is was sexy?
That said I'd like to share my thoughts on the story
The story was confusing, but I think I got i figured out. In the beginning clip, I noticed our character didn't shoot the crossbow that time. I think this might be a different rift in time, in which Ashcroft lived.
Obviously this couldn't come to be so the "spirit" gave her another chance to stop it. That is why the second time Ashcroft knew about the temple already. Also it is why in the ending clip she shot him readily even though it was out of her character.
So the "spirits" of the temple decided it was more important to save the world than keep Prof sane. Oh well
Good game took me about an hour
the ending is sad
Some slightly convoluted puzzels (as expected) and a bit of a Lovecraftian ending.
Be interesting to see the sequel.
ok look i think Patrick pretty much has it right and i do like the idea of the whole time travel thing, BUT DIDNT ANYONE SEE AT THE LAST CUT-SCENE THAT SAYS and i quote "to be continued" all you people say is on make a extended or bad ending but its going to be continued fbldfbglrghlfhglidahfgaih
anyway really great game
Patrick in regards to intro ending:
Actually if you watch the beginning movie again she does shoot him, it's just a much shorter sequence with pieces cut out. In both the beginning and end she seems shocked that she shot, the end seems to show it as an accident as a result of the thundering sound. There doesn't appear to be any time shifting, just a more detailed ending.
Cool game
Wish I could find the next one if it's coming out
Is it still possible to win the game without the crossbow?
On Day 1 I repeatedly spoke to the Professor to try to get the crossbow but he only spoke of other things. I never attempted to give the axe to Ashcroft.
Now it's Day 2. The PC refuses to give the axe to Ashcroft, and the Professor is nowhere in sight...I cannot ask him for the crossbow.
Is the game unwinnable under these conditions.
I became frustrated as the dialogue revealed that the PC Heather is an airheaded ditz. Hard to believe she atteneded Oxford.
And the concept of any "scientist" killing a native creature just to get one red feather to decorate a statue is so absurd its not even worth comment. The feather could drop to the ground, as in Legend of Kyrandia.
Hey, does anyone think that
Heather might have gone in the past and that she is/was the woman that Dunmore wrote about?
Good game,really,though
This game was awesome!! Can't wait for the Hetherdale 2!!!
Great game! Is it a Hungarian one? Because the 'fehér-flower' means white and 'húsevő-plant' is meat eating - (native language in the game)
Nothing important, just interesting :)
Please help! Im in the temple
but i cant seem to open the tombstone
About leaving the room with the mummy...
I was having trouble so I read the walkthrough and it said I needed to use the lighter on the tomb. I tried that already. It kept telling me that I didn't want to throw the lighter in there. I kept clicking with the lighter and finally it did let me through... I think it was somewhere close to the right side where I clicked.
Help! Bug?
Somehow I lost the chain in the temple with the mummy. It's not in my inventory anymore, but it's also not attached to the ring.
Did anyone else experience this? How did you solve it? I don't want to start all over!
