What do you do with the waxwork figure?

Comment Kmo73

Totally stuck on this game 😒

Comment cmulville

Ah... once I worked out what to do with the noisy watch, it all fell into place.

Comment cmulville

Apologies for spoilers. OK... So I've got as far as finding Lord R's experiment. (I liked the clue for the door!)
But now I'm stuck. I've got: A file, shovel, glass, photo, piece of paper, hecate crystal, and a fobwatch.
The boy ghost has been satisfied
I don't know what to do with the ouija (I'm assuming the glass is involved.)
I can't get past the rat (although I've a fair idea what to do with what he's guarding.)
I don't know whether the corpse is a red herring or not.
I don't know what to do with the experiment now I've found it. (I believe it may need feeding, but what?)

Comment JollyMolly

The game froze up on me early. It's a bit glitchy. I takes a bit to respond to me, so much so I have to sit back and wait, then I get confused. When it stuck on the Aquarium I thought it was just being slow to respond again. Listing the starting floor in the description would be nice. I'll give it a try or two more before I give up on it. Oh, one question, do you take the whole aquarium or just the fish?

Comment bewitchedatlas

So far, the game has been lovely. My biggest hangup has been finding the right wording for certain actions. Instead of using an object on something, I've had to place it on or in what I want it to interact with, then it does the action I want. I've also had a bit of a time figuring out how to successfully find objects. The wax figure was a bit of a trip. Overall though, it has been a lot of fun and I'm excited to figure out what happens next.

I'm having great difficulty with the corpse, the library, and the freezer though.

Comment BeautyvsAshes

I am so stuck! I don't know what to do with the zombie, the hand, the glass... Ugh! However, it is a lot of fun :)

Comment Lighnagain

Some progress...
Figured out what to do with the hand. Found Yellow block.
Got the blue block.
Found a place with a diamond. Cannot get to the diamond.

Comment Lighnagain

I too am finding myself stuck regarding what to do next.

I have coerced several people into revealing information, but aside from doing a little digging, have been unable to follow up with any of the information I received.

Spoilers ahead, I don't really know how to be sly.
I have the following items:
2 blocks (green and red) - I know where the blue one is, but I don't know how to get it, and I know I need to find 2 more from speaking to the ghost.
Photograph, which I showed to the witch and she gave me some interesting information leading me to the Loki room I presume, but I have no idea how to find what she hid.
I had chocolates, but I fed them to the Hunchback and he told me about another location I don't know how to access
Mummified hand, haven't been able to figure out what to do with that.
Wine glass, same.
Fobwatch, same.
I have a cryptic message on a piece of paper, which seems like it's lending toward some sort of numerical code, but I haven't run across a place to use that
I am carrying and have read the file about the other experiments that have been conducted.
I have a shovel.

Comment Scarlett Phantom

For people who got stuck with the zombie/think it's useless, you have to examine the zombie's ribs after a certain action.

Review Scarlett Phantom

Bits and pieces of this are... not helpful. It's a good game with a fun story that might belong more in the horror genre than it does fantasy, but there are parts where the game becomes difficult to play. If you miss a certain detail, you might not examine an object more closely, which could lead to you missing a very important piece of the puzzle. That irks me, honestly. There are two times I can think of where it did this, though there might be more (my game froze): the zombie and the wax figure.

Overall, I thought this was fun. There's a lot of mythology in the rooms as well, and I really appreciated that. It was a cool touch. It's also pretty difficult. Honestly, I got stuck quite a few times. Some of the puzzles didn't immediately make sense to me, but that was probably because I didn't completely read all the descriptions or forgot details.

Would I recommend this? Yeah, I think so.

Comment Scarlett Phantom

I'm not a huge fan of how closely I had to examine some things for an item to show up it in my inventory, like with the zombie or the waistcoat. I think it helps the game's atmosphere, but it makes it really easy to miss things, as the thing being looked at may or may not be on the places and objects list.

Comment Scarlett Phantom

Wow, okay. There's so much in this game, though it does seem shorter than something like City of Blood.

Review johnhf

Enjoyable, but difficult in places.

Comment Jamex

Perhaps you could provide a hint.......?

Comment Jamex

Hey, great game so far, very challenging.
I am stuck and there are so many venues on the go, I'm not even sure which one to ask for a hint about. :/
The Ouija, the rat, the boy, the fish?! Lol
