8 Days
Eight Days is the latest point-and-click game to be released by Anode & Cathode, that fabulous French duo that has created some of the finest casual gameplay experiences available on the Web today. 
Eight Days has just been released today, therefore this is not so much a review (since I haven't been given the opportunity to play it yet) as it is an announcement. However, judging from their past successes with The Museum, The Casino, and L'expresso Empoisonné, we are likely in store for another excellent adventure.
Eight Days will also be episodic, running for 8 days with a new episode being released every two days. And they are offering 17 T-shirts to the first players "of each ranking" that finish the game. What that means may be more clearly understood once we are able to actually play the game.
Join us here, either in the comments or the IRC chat room, and help us make it through the game.
You MUST first register at Anode & Cathode to be able to play.
Warning: 8 days can hurt young people sensibility. I assume that means it's not appropriate for a younger audience. Therefore, I'm tagging this one with rating-y until I can see for myself. You've been warned. =)
Cheers to Stan, and to Edgy Swordbearer for the heads-up about it.
Walkthrough Guide
(Please allow page to fully load for spoiler tags to be functional.)
Step-by-Step Walkthrough:
Starting from your room, look to your right to take the RED PAPER from the jar. SKIPPABLE: take the GREEN TUBE from the top of the light.
After stepping outside, move left until you reach the bar. You'll hear a phone ringing, so to the right of the bar window, you should see a small phone booth. Click on it and read the messages. After you're done, take the 500 BILL in the booth.
Enter the bar, and buy a round of drinks for everyone. Take notice of your inventory, and you should now have lost the 500 BILL and have a COIN left over.
Read the RED PAPER. For those who can't read it, it says 355457268.
Go to the phone booth and insert the COIN, then dial the number backwards (862754553). If you do this wrong, the COIN will appear in the change slot. If you do this correctly, a KEY will appear in its place.
Enter the bar and give the KEY to the man playing 5 Finger Filet. This unlocks the back door.
Enter the back door and talk to the man. A STONE will appear. Take the STONE and leave.
Leave the bar and move right to the statue. Take the NECKLACE on the neck of the middle statue. It may take an accurate click.
Go back to the bar and give the woman on the left the NECKLACE. Then give her the STONE. She will give you a JEWEL. Take the JEWEL and leave the bar.
SKIPPABLE: Near the bar entrance, there is an entrance to an alley. Enter it, and notice the picture of the statue.
Go back to the statue and insert the JEWEL in the square hole. When the buttons appear, do the following:
Adjust the left statue's back arm to touch the dark line (I assume it's a sword).
Adjust the left statue's front arm to extend forwards.
Adjust the right statue's arm to appear as though it's "grasping" the left statue's wrist/arm.
Adjust the right statue's head so that it's looking up. You must click this appropriate button at least once.
Change the left statue's eyes to red.
Change the middle statue's eyes to blue.
Click the JEWEL and it will become a PINK JEWEL. Take it from the slot.
Return to your room and insert the PINK JEWEL into the hole in the wall.
