Review by Steve Lingle

11 Jul 2006

Wow. A very interesting and sometimes complex game. I thoroughly enjoy the details like the maps and the potions. Putting the computer together was awesome. I’m going to brag that I put it together without cheating. Basic computer hardware knowledge is actually helpful there.
The torture items were a bit eerie but an interesting puzzle.
I haven’t had time to play through the entire game but the first part of the game is almost flawless and very playable. You make mention at the beginning of the game or the faq (I forget where now) that you designed it to be more playable by clicking on the items, etc. You did a good job with that.
To be honest, I found one error so far. It was quite minor but I did notice it. In the cell at the beginning, if you take the cot, find the grille, solve the puzzle on opening the grille…..you leave the room and if you return, the cot can be moved again to reveal the grille again as if you had never seen it before.
That is the only error I can recall.
It wasn't exactly like playing the first Mansion game and playing the first Mansion game is not required to enjoy this one.
I score this puppy a:
5 out of 5

EDIT:
I completed the game. It is pretty good and it is compelling. I found a couple more errors but it was less than a handful. Since the intro to the game indicates that this was designed to utilize the inventory block, in other words, more mouse-friendly, I did not hold it against the author that certain details were not addressed in the rooms. For example, a room would describe that ivy is growing and there is a broken chair in the room. The available objects to interact with are the ivy and a broken chair leg. If you decide to type in commands and say “look at chair”, there is no chair.
In regular text games that would count against the score in my opinion. I may play this again and see if I can go through it without typing anything at all. I have a feeling that I can.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game.. The use of the chemicals was an excellent idea. I did complete the game though without readin the secret paper or opening the safe in the office. Were these extra?
Well done 5/5

I need a walk through for this game. I can't get past the bit with the fingerprint scanner. How do I get the fingerprint?
I also think that this game is great and I give it a 5 out of 5.

@ GAMER!

Im pretty sure you use the Knife in the Torture Room to cut off the dead guards finger, then use the finger on the Finger Print machine.

Also a 5 outta 5.

Use the knife on the briefcase. You've got the device that you need to use now.

I'm really enjoying this game. Only stuck in the uncle's house, not sure what to do with the bottle (burning), seagull or sheet. Can't find a use for the things from the lighthouse either.

I have really enjoyed this game so far. I haven't finished yet. I'm stuck in the real house right now. Can't seem to figure out the new riddle. Anyone out there who can offer assistance email me (jenb_79@netzero.net). I agree with Steve. I have noticed a few errors but since it is a "mouse friendly" game they haven't been a problem (except that when you are in the dream house you say take flying duck after you have already put it in the basement and it doesn't actually reappear in your inventory). But in the end that actually helped me figure out the riddle. Great game, however now that I'm stuck I can't seem to get a response from the writer???

This is an excellent game. A lot of work must have gone into it. The different combinations of the potions provides a plethora of options!

As ever in these games, it pays to use/examine everything and use anything on everything if you ever get stuck!

Well done, Nick! Look forward to seeing more of your work...

Now I'm offically stuck. I am in Uncle's house and have put the fossil on the fireplace; put the plant under the running faucet; put the duck in the basement, but cannot figure out how to "bring light to darkness"....

I did try and light the candle in the bathroom because it says "there are no windows and it's dark", but this is an error here because the discription says there is a small window!

Of course I've gone and left my GPT back at the corporation building, so I can't seem to go and get a chemical of any kind....

***arhgh!!!!!

Ok, I FINALLY figured it out.

!!!SPOILER ALERT!!! !!!SPOILER ALERT!!!

The problem is that the description of the bathroom
is misleading. It says there is no window and that
it's dark, but the it also says there is a small window.

Also, the trick is not to light the candle first, you
have to put it on the floor and THEN light it! Very
confusing.

Still it's a great game though!!!

Really enjoying this game so far, but I'm only a little way into it. If I enjoy the rest as much as I've enjoyed the start I'll definitely give it 5/5.

Great puzzles, descriptions and sense of humour.

HELP. I love this game but I have no idea what to do now.

SPOILERish

I've got the full run of Area C and I made acid in the flask as I thought it might get through the security door to the areaC control room. But that didn't work and now i'm stuck with a flask of acid that i can't use or pour out. What do I do and is there a walkthrough somewhere?

Thanks Love Louise x x x

What a truly delightful game. Reminds me a bit of the old "leather goddesses of phobos" if any of you remember that one. The puzzle with the chemicals is a great addition to the game. I haven't finished it yet, I'm stuck in the Uncle's House (second one, not the dream one) and haven't figured out what to do with the dead seagull, sheet, flaming bottle and crucifix. Excellent so far though and thoroughly enjoyable.

Comment by Martin Greaves

16 Jun 2009

Also, anyone have any idea what to do with the bedroll? Or even if it is useful?

SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT

Ive made a hole in the ceiling to allow water to fall onto the ivy.
Ive lit the fire and dropped the crucifix.
Ive lit the rag in the bottle of vodka and left it in the dark bathroom.
Ive left the seagull in the basement.

This corresponds to the riddle in the desk but nothing is different. Any clues anyone? I dont want a solution, just a subtle hint in the right direction.

Thanks

I'm loving this game, but I'm also completely confused about the uncle's house, with the dead seagull and other items. I've put things in a series of different combinations but nothing has changed. Any possible hint would be helpful, I'm at my wit's end!

for who is stuck in the cell, here is some help:
first do you know that uyou can pick up the cot?
just pick up the cot by typing get cot.
now a grille is revealed.
pick the fork up, and use that item on the grille to pry the screws loose.
now go west, pick up the cot, and use that on the forcefield.
also, do this also in your sell.
this will break the forcefields.
in the beginning, you are in darkness, but there is a shape.
pick that up, it's a paper clip.
use that on the handcuffs.

This was a very enjoyable game. I particularly appreciate that the puzzles were not 'pick the right verb' puzzles. I get frustrated at IF games that force you to spend half of your time attempting to lift...no, slide...no, move...no, pull...no, push...etc., when you know exactly what it is that you have to do.

I also liked the double puzzle of the house. Clever.

Well done.

SPOILER!!!!
It is odd that there are no dead bodies upstairs, and no evidence of where everyone went up there.

anyone that needs help with the houses heres the answer
in the first one put the plant in the sink. put the plaster bird in the basement. drop the candle in the bathrrom then use ciggerete lighter. drop the dead thing in the firplace(forgot wut the dead thing was). then go into the master bedroom and talk to your uncle

second one: shoot the puddle. grab the chairleg and use it on the fireplace then light it with the light then put the finger that you have on it (confused me for a while). put the dead bird in the basement. use the rag with the bottle then the lighter with the bottle and drop it in the bathroom. you can get out now. hope i helped again!!!

Cheers Nick,
Thoroughly enjoyed this one - really loved the whole teleport thing as it saved sooooo much time. An excellent idea that I might just "use" when I write one myself.

I liked the different endings like Mansion, a nice touch, thanks.

Please keep up the good work.

Another 5/5 from me. Played thru to both endings. Lost count of how many times I realised I'd left the GPT 10 rooms back again. Ha ha. Back in the mid-80s I'd have been glad to have paid £15 for a game this good.

Yeah, I found it upstairs in the lighthouse, I missed it the first time I visited. I finished, but I wasn't able to figure out what to do with the paper. I think it has the code to the safe in a hidden message on it since it has a chemical smell to it, but none of the chemicals I mixed would do anything to it.
