Regarding Molasses Pie - it is real - look up Shoo Fly Pie. I hadn't had it until just about three months ago. It's one of those things you go "Yuck" till you try it, then its "Yum" Very sweet, as you might imagine. Wiki has it as localized to Pennsylvania Dutch and Southern (US) cooking. The recipe is a litany of everything that is considered to be BAD for you. Molasses, lard, sugar, brown sugar, butter, salt...
I'm glad You decided not to spoil the word Shattenjäger. People may decide to find out what it means but knowing it won't help to understand the significance in the game.
I think including the grandmother was actually a pretty good way of covering this "fill in Gabriel's background" stuff. My own grandmother tells me stuff I already know about my family all the time, I assume others' do the same.
Did you use a walkthrough the first time you played then? Or is it not necessary to get the photograph and letter? Just wondering since you said you didn't figure it out the first time.
@WarthogDemon I used hints to get the solution of this puzzle. It is required, though it's not required to do it on Day 1 (there are a number of things you can do during the first couple of days).
Looks like they had some trouble with a Dashade... =p
I think this is another one of those translation errors.

I do not speak either language, but German always sounded like a much angrier version of Dutch to my ears.

"Be careful of the dust!" "Why? Is it likely to attack?"
I lol'd. That's exactly what I was thinking when she said that.

It means "shadow hunter" in German, and "treasure hunter" in Dutch.

I love attics. I miss having our old one, I would just go up there and see whatever I could find.
That's how I discovered Monkey's Island and Loom! XDD

@pornace I'm just wondering how there can be a "Jäger" of "Schatten". The "Schatten" are with you - always. XD
