When you find the map, and look at it, Trilby should say something about a room he can't find. If you look at the map you'll see what he means. It shows a stairfrom the kitchen, wich you can not see. That is when you should use your pickaxe on the wall (at least that was when I did it ... before showing the map to Phil)

The salty bear + stick should point you to the down right corner of the basement (I can't spell dungoun -.-). I think one of the screenshots show where Trilby has been digging up the ground and finds some green bones. That is where you should stand. Use the salty bear + stick, and when it points straight down, you put it away. Then you can "use" the area on the ground and he'll start digging.

In day 3 you need 5 pieces of info: "two diaries, book on the family and the article Phil gives you" and the paper the lies beneath the phone in the hallway. Then he says something about getting an idea about what went down in the manor, and he'll talk it through with ... forgot her name. The woman... reporter lady.

OMG I know this game too well.

Dont laugh at me now, but this game IS scary! Just the intro puts you right in position (2 mm from the screen...). You play it, the story draws you in, deeper and deeper... You WILL get scared more times than any time before.

I've played most of the iamgonescaretheshitoutofyou games there is, but this touches you more than any of them! Although there is bad graphics, really old school, is this one of the best games i have seen. There is no better way spending a couple of days (five...) than in this game. If you havent downloaded it, do it right now.

Now i am going to spend a couple of days (seven) on another game... Can you guess wich?

I found this game to be very annoying. I hate how you have to go through the game step by step by step. I guess I'm just used to Maniac Mansion where you can do things out of order and you can get different outcomes depending on what you do.

I love the graphics.

The game is just too simple.

@MissNetLess: Yes. But never forget that the game was made by one single person who does
programming as a hobby. Considering this the game is great. A direct comparison with
the Secret of Monkey Island or Zak Mc Cracken is (naturally) quite out of the question.

This is a wonderful game. The guest that was whining about it not having good graphics? Well he can shut up. It was made by ONE guy. It is FREEWARE. So don't whine about an awesome game, just because a guy did it for FREE, and couldn't afford to have better graphics.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but yeah the fact that the game is freeware makes it that much more interesting imo, as it really shows the hardwork and dedication that went into the game like this one. k:

Yes, I tried to make a game like that once and failed.

About the pickaxe in the wall thing: when I first played the game, I just was really frustrated and took my pickaxe and bashed it against the wall, and to my surprise it broke open!!
