Evil Days of Luckless John-ViTALiTY
The (in)famous underground games group ViTALiTY released a brand new game called Evil Days of Luckless John. This game is a mix of genre’s which include adventure, arcade shooter and fighting. The game is inspired by various comics, cartoon’s and “humorous action scenes”. You can expect to see all of these elements cleverly integrated into the storyline.This appears to be quite an interesting game, a nice mix genres, really well done quirky graphics along with an interesting and engrossing story. Coming in at about 550 MB, it is very a good size for a 3D Adventure game and i cant sign off without giving ViTALiTY some praise for cracking that TAGES protection. Nice job guys! Enjoy!
John is indeed luckless. Everything he ever started turned out to be a major disaster. Until one day a distant relative dies, and the only heir of his profitable casino is – of course – John. Is he going to be lucky this time? Already thinking about the money that is supposed to pour in, already thinking about spending all his future riches, suddenly reality strikes back at John – again. The Mob wants to get their hands on John’s Casino. Being already responsible for the death of the former owner, John’s appearance makes them very unhappy. It looks like John is in big trouble…
At this point, the player of this beautifully designed graphic adventure takes control. He has to make sure that John will lose his nick name, or die trying. “Luckless John”, developed by Centauri, is in the best tradition of classic and fun graphic adventures, mixed with today’s 3D technology. The main character can be moved around in an almost open 3D environment, with a simple and intuitive user interface. Luckless John is appealing to fans of the adventure genre, while adding the modern look and feel to attract a wide audience of gamers who like to follow a humorous storyline.
Features:
- quaint mix of action, fighting and adventure genres with eccentric parody elements
- humorous non-linear plot

it really sucks :/
is it a Shooter or what is it ?!
I’ll give this one a try.
unless they let us rape the corpses… I’ll pass.
it’s both 3rd person and 1st person depends on the level
im stuck at the lock, i know the combination but i cant seem to get it right anyone?
I think the lock combo is 24-5-1872. If you mess up enough John will start ranting at you and essentially tell you the combo.
just curious, once u unrar the files can u play the game immediately or u need anything else. thank u
@hello: it is a bin/cue, so you just mount it with DaemonTools and you can install.
I can’t get this to work though, I can watch the intro movie but when the main menu comes up, I can’t move the mouse or press any keys. The core the game runs on is at 100% but nothing happens. If I skip through the intro video, I just get a black screen with music. In both cases, the only way out is to kill the process.

How are you guys installing this? i used daemon tools to install and play but then it asks for a cd. the .nfo says there is supposed to be a crack in the “vitality” folder, yet when you extract it there is no such folder, where is the crack then?

“I get an error message saying ‘Another CPAL3D application is already running’. Does anyone else have this problem?”
yes i have that problem too, the .nfo says if you get this error to close the game folder, but i didn’t even have it open so that was not the problem or a fix, someone please help!
Hi guys
I run the crack but it asks for the cd – even though it is in the drive. Have I missed something?
I checked the .nfo and it says “copy the crack” but does not say to where.
What do you mean there’s no Vitality folder? umm…It’s the folder named Vitality…I don’t know how else to say it. When you mount the bin/cue file with Daemon tools, look on the disc and it’s there.
As for copying the crack…you copy cracks over the original .exe files in the original game. Most crack operate this way, that’s why they don’t say where. I figured all this out years ago by looking around for “game cracking 101″ or something and so did everyone else. This game comes with a different crack for each language.
So look in the Viatality folder (that IS on the disc) and copy the .exe file that is the language you want. Open the game’s install folder and look for the similar named .exe and “copy the crack” over that folder. You’ll feel dumb when you do it because it’s kinda simple. Then 99% of game cracks work this way. There’s a whole big website gamecopyworld that has millions of these so you don’t need discs for games you legally own (what a crack is for). They might have more simple-ish instructions for people who don’t know what a file is or something.

Thanks for the umm, obvious info… I should have searched first!
But again, thanks for the very helpful post.
arrghh has anyone broke out the prison
can get downstairs but keep getting caught after the 3rd guard
what to do in the truck race?
how many races i need to beat?
cuz’ every time i finish they tell me the italians improved their time, and i need to race again…
THIS GAME NEEDS A WALKTHOUGH GUIDE
The game is very good. If you can’t do the safe you should never play this game again… The radio is quite easy… The guards are easy and everybody who has problems with this game is full idiot!
Anyone else got problems in the dungeon when you need to wiggle out of your handcuffs? You need to press certain keys in sequence, but it doesn’t appear to register any keystrokes at all… Bug?
nightveil, i have the same problem. its bugged, i manage to do the first combo, but not the second…
redji i bet we all wish we could be as cool as you you doyle
i didnt say the game wasnt easy
you cock munching arse bandit
Yeah… The handcuff part is bugged. Seems we shall have to wait until the game comes out or perhaps the cracked .exe has caused it.
Also.. I had no troubles with this game except for the demolition race.
The handcuffs bit is not bugged.
You have to do two things:
A. Use WASD.
B. Enter the keys when the -question marks- appear, not when the keys themselves appear. (So, not like Guitar Hero and DDR and all those other games.)
thanks for info Oriz0r, i got it atlast. i think i had given up the game if i hadent read her today
Thank you Oriz0r!
Do hit the keys on the question marks, but normally I can only get a few and he’s ‘damn.. I need to start all over’ even though I didn’t miss anything.
How very odd.. I just tried it again and it kept doing the ‘ I need to start all over thing’ but all of a sudden it just worked.. How odd.
You’re welcome.
I’m stuck in the part of the part right after it though…can’t
get out of the sewer after completing that carboat. If anyone can help me, please email me at ori_baruch_levi@yahoo.com (as to not spoil it for anyone.)
Yeah.. I’m having trouble with that area too. I saw a walkthrough somewhere online a few days ago, but I cannot remember where it was..
To open the safe click left arrow to 2 then right 4 and then right to 5 then left to 1 and continue to 8 and then click left to 7 and 2
and for guards go to electric chair press switch and guard walk to close it then steal his teddy from table and put it pn the chair and then press switch
I need a key mapping or something. I can’t even figure out how to get out of the prison cell. Can you interact with objects other than pushing enter? What do I do? It seems like I tried every key.
This is a great game and quite challenging! I have made it out of the prison, into the factory, and have successfully contacted a getaway driver who has already arrived and is waiting for me. The only problem I am having is finding something to pry the locker door opened! i went outside and found a pipe, but it won’t let me use it. I have searched the entire factory inside and outside, both the locker room as well as the office that has the phone, but I’m unable to find the item needed to pry the door opened, can someone please tell me if I need to backtrack to a previous room to get it?
Heh.. I had some trouble with that.. Go talk to the getaway driver again.. He should give you a crowbar.
Heh.. I had some trouble with that.. Go talk to the getaway driver again.. He should give you a crowbar.
Ph0tik.. The left mouse button also works. Hold tab to show all the things that are interactive in the area.
ppl who r stuck on handcuffs when it shows the arrows and then the question marks repeat that arrows with wsad keys
and for the glass shards in church place the shards from the hole its easier
bAdsTalkEr:
That does not work. When i try to go left to 1, i get the ‘halloflame’ response
I been for a long time searching for a GOOD Adventure game, that is enjoyable to play. I mean a adventure game like Syberia (that is a good game in my opinion).
But when I downloaded and tried this game, was I as disappointed as I been with the last 30-40 NEW adventure games i downloaded. It doesnt at all catch my lust to continue playing, it has some fun parts but they are too few to make up for the bad ones. So sorry to say it, but I just give it 2 stars out of 5.
I need help plz.
in the level when i try to find the uncle
all the doors says go to the ub40 where the fuck is that!?!?!?
or should i use the combinations between the doors
plz HELP ME
I’m stuck… how do I get away from the mob, they keep on killing me. This is after I get out of the building. I did the safe but now I am getting killed after I go out side. Help me please. BTW any walk through for this game?
omegaman: Just keep running down paths that don’t have mobsters. You may have to run into them and take a side path.
I once saw a walkthrough on some russian site or something.. I cannot find it anymore.
coa: Try the first booth on the left… I guess talk to them, check the counter and try again.
Hmm, I’ve copied the correct language crack into the game folder, and when I click it I get the following error:
“Warning
Insert the CD and run the game from the Start menu or desktop shortcut.”
:S What the hell? I’ve restarted the computer, closed all folders, and whatnot… Argh.
Hah, starting it from the Start menu made it work now.
This safe is sickening annoying, I go… Left to 2, Right to 4 Then left, and then I can’t do anything, although after that I can go left to 1 then right, and then left to 8 then right, but nothing else.
God damnit, my patience is excellent and I grew up to adventure games like these… Monkey Island, Full Throttle, Broken Sword, you name it… But this is f-ed.
Any help?
Hmm i’m stuck at the church puzzle with the broken mirrors, anyone got to that one, pls help?
@FAK#
collect all the glass shards from that room and place the glass shards from the hole
Hi this sis a great lil game, tho im stuck in the prison toilet with a toilet brush, can some1 tell me how to get down the hole to escape ??? thank you please !!!!
PANOPTICON : i think you have to go RIGHT when cracking the safe,
start RIGHT then LEFT then RIGHT then LEFT and so on …. i hope you get it working.
qiss, u need to make the brush into a torch..
This is fun little gem, not too easy when u turn off the ‘help’ .. nice little minigames, i enjoyed the ‘ballroll’ at the end, nice oldschool stuff.. 8/10 for trying to make something different
I’m actually stuck on the ball roll. The last part is kinda hard and the devs didn’t put a checkpoint there….
And a hint to qiss.. What is hot and frying?
I got a bug with the moving platforms, started falling through them, re-start of the game halped on that.. yep, its a bit tricky, but the challenge level is on the spot. Good fun , remember to check the extras, theres a time trial level too
Hmm there’s no more pieces of glass in the church(i press tab and there’s no more stuff to find)… and then i go to the altar or wtvr.. put the shards of glass on it… but then nothing happens… and when i try the 2/3 to solve the puzzle the game crashes on me
… could someone post a picture of the glass puzzle completed? tks
F/\K3.. You can rotate the pieces by right clicking.. Try using the triangle lines to help you put pieces together.
Tim, that’s what’s wrong with my game(besides crashing now and then)… i can’t rotate… i’ve tried all keys and it doesn’t rotate but instead it drags the piece(like with the mouse).. :\ thought it had to be that.. thanks anyway.. i’ll see if i can work out on what’s wrong with my game
Cheers.
Well got past the church puzzle.. finished the last tractor race and my game crashed when HElen’s being kidnapped, lolol… oh well have to start that level all over again
Hi, I am in jail. I have the chair leg, now I am trying to get away. Went out of the jail… got by all the cops but what do I do? Help please.
Heh… I seem to be lucky. I haven’t encountered all that many bugs yet.
I’m stuck in the part of the part right after it though…can’t
get out of the sewer after completing that carboat. If anyone can help me++++
please
cesd have you made a boat out of the car? i presume you have, if so you have to go to the room with the 4 “cranes” and tap them all, and the water will get high enough to get out… to make the boat you have to use the 2 fan`s. you have to jump to get them, and the tuba. then helen can help you push the boat into the water….
i had some serious bugs >>>when i blown the gate,and kill the
gangstas,jump down in the big pipe
land …saving game… and then john starts moving to the left
on its own,i don’t touch anything it goes to the left by its self.but as soon as i land there is some huge container on my
left side & he keeps going to the FUCKING LEFT,does anybody has the same problem?!?!?

Thanks gadzooks… great find
your are right Tim ;D
Aha! That’s the one I saw! I couldn’t find it after looking on google for like an hour. Nice find.
I dont understant the part with the hand cutts!
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
The handcuffs bit is not bugged.
You have to do two things:
A. Use WASD.
B. Enter the keys when the -question marks- appear, not when the keys themselves appear. (So, not like Guitar Hero and DDR and all those other games.)
PLEASE MORE INFORMATION it dosnt work by me..

Could someone leave a comment on what time I have to beat the tractor race in?
I can’t seem to get under 200sec no matter what shortcut I take.
what is zaprygivayte ? It’s in the walkthrough
zaprygivayte – means “jump on somithing”.
Game is crap! 100% pure horseshit.
The handcuff part is indeed bugged, but not so much that it is impossible to pass. The hit detection is pretty bad sometimes and other times it’ll say he screwed up yet you do it perfectly.
Doesn’t this game come out Q4 of this year? How the hell did it get leaked this early and why is it complete except for bugs?
i think i found a bug in the sewer. I’m stuck in the water tank bit, i got both the wheel and the lever but dont know what to do after that, i think i found a bug here. walkthrough is in really bad english.
So you haven’t constructed the boat? Keep looking for pieces.
I’m stuck in the sewer after making the boat. If I go to the skull room where the 4 cranes are, and I try to use them. John’s hands are like butter or something and nothing happens. What can I do?
Ah crap, tractor thing is impossible. Did the race in 185sec, Italian did in 182…. anybody have any idea how fast the race has to be done?
how do y pass the radio ?
im stuck at the radio can someone plz tellme how to pass it? :S
does any body have a saved game just after the handcuffs thing, i cant seem to pass this, i guess my cordinatation isn’t much, or it is damn hard.
thanks.
JB:
you wont have to race to much. If you took the job at the farm from the guy at the bar then you will get more than enough money to pay… Just go back and collect the money from him.
Guy:
You use the A – S – D – W keys instead of the arrows.
A = left
D = right
S = up
W = down
If you do that then it’s peace of cake to finish this.
Figured out the tractor bit (for anybody interested):
1) You only need to win the tractor race once
2) when you win the race, it will be easier for you, if you take the longest time possible (and still come 1st)
3) After you win the race, you will be told the Italian has beaten your time…. DO NOT TRY AND BEAT THIS TIME.
4) Go get your false papers, if you don’t have enough money speak with Kid (at the bar).
5) Continue with the rest of the game
6) Eventually you will be able to improve your tractor with a secret ingredient (I’m not going to spoil it)
7) Do the tractor race again, and win (as long as you take 1st place, the italian won’t beat your time.
There is a bug in the game… if you win the tractor race in too short a time (without the secret ingredient, you will never be able to beat the game, as you will have to beat an impossible Italian’s time.
(I made this mistake, won 185sec without ingredient… had to somehow beat 159 sec, which is pretty damn near impossible.)
Bonus locations?
I got most of them, Anybody know the other 2?
1) At the start, running away from the mob, through the streets… a little bit before you start pushing blocks to jump the fence.
2) Outside the casino
3) In the sewers (straight after the prison), drain one of water tanks, it’s hidden in a sort of tunnel at the bottom.
4) Going to get the map, half way between where you start and the map is located.
5) going to the graveyard, you do a big jump, the bonus is located just afterwards on the left
6) the matrix esque zone… you get strapped to a ball. half-way along your trip, there is an alternative route at the end is a bonus. (Start looking when the platforms you are on become concave, and snake-like)
7) the 2D platform style level (with flame throwers and buzz saws) about 3/4 of the way through, you come out of a pipe… and your instinct is to continue right, head left instead.
(ok so I’m missing 2 more – Shooting 1 & 2) Anybody know whereabouts?
You’re talking about those ‘Bonus box’ things that you can pick up? There’s one in the sewers right after the handcuff part.
to open the safe do the following for anyone
the code is 2451872, right?
so
the first number is “2″ you enter it by the right arrow
then when you arrive to the unit that has “2″ on it enter the second number “4″ in the opposite direction “left” and continue like that until you hit the last “2″ and then youll here the voice of something unlocked and ul open the safe with the handle and grap the key
hey guys
after the handcuffs
the symphony car that ul drive in the sewer “the poison gas”
there is a place that has somthing like 4 pipes in it
and you have to hit the pipes in some order in order to make a flood and get out above the rubbish that is closing the way behind the the gate
there is a 2 ways to go to the place that im talking about
right,
there is a short way and there is a little bit longer one
when you go from the long one start like that
hit the one on the side of your left hand “your personal hand”
and then the second one is the one on the right hand of yours the third one is the one on the same side of the 2nd one the fourth one is the one on the same side of the 1st one
anybody wants any help contact me
corazon_12789@hotmail.com
coz i think that im about nothing to finish the game
il give the game generally “download it and play it”
7/10 regardless of the graphics and the control “gameplay”
im just talking about the story
best regards
There is one bonus in the sewers that can be reached only after the “change”, opposite of the long tunnel to where the change is created.
Hi Guys,
I have a very important question to ask! When i’ve installed the game with Daemon tools en then copy the english language from the ‘Vitality’ Folder and paste it into the installation map, it gives an error: Cannot find d3dx9_32.dll Does anyone know what whent wrong???
Im stuck at the radio help please
for Jaydon!
that error is shown because you didn’t installed DirectX 9.0c with the game or you don’t have it installed! try installing DirectX and then it should work!
I’m still seeking a walkthrough for this game – I’ve searched EVERYWHERE I can think to look – does ANYONE know where I can find a walkthrough? I’m stymied and will not be able to play without one — I can see it already.
A walkthrough:
http://my.afterdawn.com/urekismet/blog_entry.cfm/2225/evildayslucklessjohnbabelfishedfromrussian
I’m stucked at the last part. I have to blast te gate but I don’t have the thinner for the bomb. Where can I find it? It’s not in the walkthrough…
I just found the paintthinner…
