The town hall records quest is different depending on which version of the game you are playing. The walkthrough you are using is written for the version of the game where Evelyn is the protagonist's sister.Hi. I don't know if this is an error or if I messed up somewhere along the way. I don't think I did, but I've run into a problem. I do have v1.01 of the game and v1.0.1 of the guide. On Day 24 Morning, your guide says to go through the records. I can do that. I check the
parents -> Reynold -> Death Year -> Back
and then the guide says to pick Evelyn. Evelyn doesn't show up as an option for me, so I thought maybe it was a mistake and I was supposed to check Tom's birth date because there's an obvious contradiction there. Fast forward to Day 27 morning and I'm supposed to confront Aldred with what I found. I can do the dark secret and the first option of "According to the town hall..." but after that, nothing is quite as the guide lays out. I ended up telling him of the 4 year discrepancy and it seemed like that was the right option. But then in the afternoon when I confront Evelyn, it doesn't go right at all. It says I can't do her dark secret because I haven't learned it. I assume that Aldred was supposed to confess something to me, but since the guide didn't line up, I didn't get it. I reloaded my save from the morning of Day 24 and tried again, just to be sure and it went the same way again.
So now I'm wondering where the error is? The guide, or me? Did something happen earlier that I missed or where the guide was wrong? It would take a long time to start over and get back to this point so I'm hoping you might know. I just want to re-emphasize that I'm positive I followed all steps exactly as written up until this point.
Thanks!
In the version of the game where Evelyn is not related to the protagonist, then the quest is not about her and her parents, but about her fiancee and his parents. Everything else about the quest is the same (search the same records, talk to Aldred for more info, etc), it's just no longer about the same people.
With Aldred, you ask him about the clue you've found, he refuses to talk to you about it. You do the reveal secret/remove inhibition thing, and finally you have to talk to him again about the clue to get confirmation and added details.
There's only ever one clue for this quest, with the image of the town hall records as its icon. But, it gets modified by talking to Aldred after revealing his secret. Without the details Aldred adds, it's insufficient for revealing Evelyn's secret.
