The Things That Go Bump In The Night by Tim Hamilton

This is my first Horror game. I have a try again feature in it but save anyway because if you waste resources you will be in an unwinable position. Hope You enjoy it! =)

the dang text box dissapears, and after the door scene, the game is unplayable, up until then, it is amazing tho.

Unfortunately, I can't advance past the creature at the door due to the fact the text box disappears and I apparently can't use anything as a weapon? Even the fire extinguisher?

The beginning was okay and I was intrigued to continue, but the bug just made me unable to continue so I can't give a really good rating.

Review funkyspunk90

This game's been very buggy for a long time now and never got fixed - the text box disappears making it impossible to type and continue, and objects that should work for beating puzzles say they can't be used.
Most objects mentioned in room descriptions can't be interacted with, but one or two need to be to carry on - although the game soon crashes anyway. Also rooms' directions are confusing and don't connect properly.

In the online version it stops when you open the door to face the monster. I have followed the walkthrough which says open the door and use fire extinguisher but this does not work? Help would be appreciated - thanks!

I can tell there's a deep and compelling game buried in here, but after making myself miserable trying to get around errors in which the command bar disappears, I just couldn't take it anymore. Apparently the mobile version is riddled with bugs too.

Very well developed game. Both challenging, fun, with humor here and there.

Really no complains other than a glitch I encountered near the end, which also proved to be quite entertaining but left me needing to restart.

At some point, after descending the fire escape I had two options to go "west". This seemed to occur after I died in the room with the gremlins due to wasting too much time observing things and backtracking after trying again.

I must have taken the wrong "west" option because it got me back into the first building. I was able to find the forklift all over again and drive around inside it with the chick following me everywhere, haha.

In the end I got stuck as I didn't have the extinguisher anymore to deal with the bear all over again (who was back to life just like the fork life).

Aside from that one bug, I couldn't find any problems, and thought the plot was great.

Thanks!

It seems like a good game, but it kept crashing, so I wasn't really able to tell.

31 Mar 2015
I can't get past the first demon thingy. I've got the hand radio, flashlight, electronic key, fire extinguisher, soap, gauze, and aspirin. What do I do now? I've tried opening the door, but the text box disappears after that, and then I die.

Love it, great mechanics, simple, great game, but the story is pretty bad, no character development and stuff, still, spooky, 5/5!

I love this game but I am stuck. I have the three fuses (good, new and dusty) and I can't find the 4th. I assume I need to use the fuses to wash out the black mass. Hopefully that will give me some insight on how to unlock the gun rack and use that rifle to kill the slag monster since my fire extinguisher is empty

I'm kind of late finding this game, but I love it! However, like most people here, I am stuck. I got past the clown and don't know what to do now. I cannot get into the office with the workers and cannot get past the door without a handle. I have tried using the screwdriver, the hammer, even the rake! I don't see anyone else posting about this, so it must be something REALLY simple I am overlooking, but it has been 3 days of thinking about it with no solution.

Thanks kurt, but I think I must be missing something as I can't go anywhere past the eat side of the smelter (where the fuel pumps are), the octopus blocks movement to the southwest and also up the stairs, so I haven't been to the storage room yet...
I have successfully petrified the slag monster to get to this point so the areas south of the wreckage have been explored and I can't return on the back road so my only unexplored area is past the fuel pumps. What now?

Very good and well written, have enjoyed it up to a certain point!! I say that because I'm now stuck! everything seems to have gone to plan until i got to the ventilation shaft and now realise my wrench has totally disappeared from my inventory! can anyone ssend ame a save game close to this point as I dont want to trawl throgh the majority of the game. eaither a titanium backup for android(how i was originally playing it) or the pc save will be great and I'll carry on using the PC.

Tim - perhaps a chech to see if you have the wrench berore going onto the ladder could be added? Well done and a great job, you may have inspired me to attempt to write a game!

Love this game. I have it on my iPod and it's great. Tim Hamilton, thanks for making such an awesome game.
I have a questions about your programing.
Did you create this game on the version of Quest that's online or the actual program?
How did you make a "Try again" option for after dying?
Anyways, I love the game. I'm in the process of making my own, but it's nowhere as good as yours. I hope you make more in the future. You make great games. No complaints!

I'm playing this on an android MID tablet right now and there are a few issues with the menus and using Items in your inventory. You press on it and the standard list of instructions 'look at', 'speak to' and 'take' appear for a second but then the menu will unexpectedly close and leave a grey and black hashed screen. It seems the windows will only stay open for a spilt second. This will then freeze your main game screen and you will be unable to continue until you somehow remove the item menu.

If you turn on the leaf blower you can use it on the balloon animals he makes. Use the flashlight on him when he gets too close. In between search the other objects in the room until you find the red button.
The leaf blower is in the work shed. You need the bolt cutters to get in.

The mop handle is in the cleaning closet in the refinery. You need to find a jack to into it.

and if I want to go into the mist to try it out there again it says "The mist gets thicker the closer you get to the lab and the floodlights there are not on. There is no way your going anywhere in the dark now!" and I get kicked back to the place, where I can't use the flashlight. So what?

I knew the fire extinguisher would be the solution but it never worked. That was, because I only typed in "Use fire extinguisher" and not "User fire extinguisher on creature". Well I'm new to this kinds of games, so excuse that fail of mine.

My actual problem now is, that I can't find the key for the fork lift. I searched everywhere, killed the vine, found the remote opener for the cargo door and the wrench, but I don't know, where the fork lift key is supposed to be. Please help me with this one!

My list of objects (If that even matters):
Hand Radio
Flashlight
Electronic Key
Fire Extinguisher
Soap
Note
Flash Drive
Gauze
Asprin
Wrench
Door Opener

I'm sitting in the fork lift right now. ^^

Blast him with the fire extinguisher twice, one time for each paw. I think you need to use the flashlight after, but I'm not sure. Anyways, if the flashlight is not necessary, raise the lever. It's head will get stuck.

Comment LinaLyssic

The try again feature brought me back to the hammer luckily! But the bad thing was that I threw it at him and it didn't work. I really did try. I wanted to tell you I got the hammer, but I felt embarassed enough after posting 5 comments in a row. But it says something about not being a missle weapon. And I got so far! :(

Comment Sarah Atkins
20 May 2011
okay thanks, i've finished the game :)

Comment Tim Hamilton
20 May 2011
You need to have the hammer. It has been an exhausting night and he is to fast for you to catch him. If you use the try again feature i'm not sure where that will put you. But if you can go back and get the hammer. If you can't then you will have to start over =(.
Ps. This is the very end of the game.

The password to the door was in the series of e-mails on the flash drive. To save you from starting over in case you didn't read it. It's "pine fresh".
The forklift and the alarm panel you can just examine or search. The work truck is in vehicle maintence area. Go southeast from the back of the refinery.

Comment LinaLyssic
19 May 2011
I guess I'm dumb, because I can't seem to find the work truck or to use the right command on the alarm panel and the forklift.

Yes, I know I needed the fuses, but the problem is that I can't find the other fuses, only the wet fuse....

Comment Tim Hamilton
17 May 2011
You need the 4 working fuses. Put them in the fuse box then hit the reset button. The wet fuse in where the fuse box is use the wrench on the valve there after you have gotten rid of the black mass.
Sarah, you can only carry either the ladder or the hose not both. You will need to do some manuevering to get everything in place.

Comment LinaLyssic
17 May 2011
I have no clue on what to do next and I feel stupid for spamming this game, but I've got the hammer, chainsaw (empty), gas can (empty), dead fuse, fried fuse, cracked fuse, cooked fuse, ruined key, door opener, wrench, asprin, gauze, flash drive, note, soap, flashlight and the hand radio...

Examine it then use the hose on the pipe. Before you go across the ladder pick up the hose.

Comment Tim Hamilton
14 May 2011
There should be a door to the nickel building examine it. There should be a keypad use the electronic key on it and open the door. But you will need to get into the lab first. If you have the wrench when the moths attack examine the argon tank.
You will know what to do next. When in the lab office examine or search the desk.
Sarah, you need to get the ladder up there. use it on the gap.

Comment Henners
13 May 2011
Hi, I'm new here :D. Really enjoying these text adventures, I've never done one before, but I need to ask a question.
I have killed the first creature and left the Security building. I am stuck in the Security courtyards. I have the wrench from beside the Skid Steer and I have killed the Vine in the Gypsum Pile. I also have the Door Opener. I have the Fire Extinguisher but there isn't very much left. I also have Asprin and Gauze, the Hand Radio, and Soap.

I can't get into the lab, because of the mist, and it is said there is no door there anyway. I can't figure out how to get into the Nickel Building, if there is a way. I can't get back into the Security Building. I can't go down the Back Road because your character wets himself and turns back. The only solution I can think of is to drive the Skid Steer down the Back Road, as the game says you should not go down there, at least not on foot. But I simply can not find a way to flip it. Any suggestions? Is this a weird glitch, or do I just have to restart the game?

Thanks in advance for any help offered :)

You need to climb the chain. From the refinery control room lower the chain. Lock the door to the control room after you exit it. Then go down to the blob room. climb the chain, throw the makshift bomb at the blob then shoot it.

Comment Tim Hamilton
08 May 2011
You shouldn't if the ladle is in the middle. With the ladle and the spider in the middle use the flashlight on the spider then shoot the chain. If this still doesn't work then you may have the same problem someone else did. The ladle was reading falslely that it was in the middle for them and they had to start from before they went into the room. I don't know why this is. It has worked properly for me and everyone else but for them there was a glitch.

Comment Sarah Atkins
07 May 2011
i've saved the game when the ladle was in the middle, do i still need to talk to Neva?

Comment Tim Hamilton
07 May 2011
Yes, you need to get the ladle and spider in the center then use the flashlight on the spider. Then shoot the chain.
Make sure the ladle is in the center. Neva is going to move the ladle in the opposite direction of what you tell her to.

Comment Sarah Atkins

Comment Tim Hamilton

If your fire extinguisher is empty before you start then unfortunately you will need to start again.
To kill the bear you need to blast it twice when it reaches for you and then use the flashlight on it when it puts its head in. After that raise the lever.

You need to right the forklift east along the back road. The Back road is to the northeast of gypsum pile or north of the central courtyard. You will need to have the forks raised once in order to survive.

No, they worked perfectly. My friend and I played the game, helping each other, and loved it... I was hooked, I was having dreams about the game!

You were so knowledgeable, the sound affects were only used when needed, nothing was over done. The footnotes were hilarious!

And then... the credits. It makes it SO real, where for a second I wondered if it was fake just used so that it would seem like they were added to give the impression that the main character made the game to tell the story without upsetting the MIB's.

The east exit from the slag monster is a simple locked exit it should either let you by or tell you the slag monster would rip you limb from limb.
Did you turn the valve in the water control building?

Comment Tim Hamilton
13 Dec 2010
There must be some kind of saving and loading problem with quest or something.
I will look at the code but if the slag monster is petrified then the exit is scripted to bring you to the east smelter courtyard.
The workshed should be opened by using the bolt cutters on it.

Whew, thought I had a big glitch there. Are you SURE the ladel is in the center?
Neva doesn't really pay attention that well or something, because when you tell her to move the ladle south she moves it north. And when you tell her to move it east it moves west. (you will find out why later)

Sorry hadn,t noticed she hadn,t followed me.However I have got the ladle and the spider both in the centre blinded the spider and shot the chain and it still says the ladle hits some equipment.Thanks for your help Tim

Comment Tim Hamilton
11 Dec 2010
How is that possible?
As soon as you enter where the spider is neva becomes unavailable.
Try the try again feature.
When you get in there use the radio.

Comment sue butler
11 Dec 2010
Neva is with me!

Comment Tim Hamilton
11 Dec 2010
You must have accidentally used a blast from the extinguisher on something else.
you need the extinguisher.
sue, use the radio to contact neva.

is there a way to get rid of the black mass without the fire extinguisher? it's empty

Comment Tim Hamilton
10 Dec 2010
If you left drag the extinguisher over the creature using the panes it will do it quickly otherwise you can type either
'use extinguisher on creature'
of
'spray creature' will work too.

Hi tim,I like your games,but im new to this site(and played most of your games)and i dont know how to use the fire extingusher on the creature,it just says "cant use this here"
"the creature rakes you with your claws"
Help please!
PS:how do you save and restart?

Comment Tim Hamilton

Did you notice it said there was a figure in the control room when you entered the main floor? After you lower the chain, when you leave the control room, lock the door.

Comment GAMER!
10 Dec 2010
Ok something's horribly wrong with my quest I think. I lowered the chain in refinery main floor but it still says when I look at the chain it's to high to reach. I look at the lever in the control room and it says it's lowered.

Raise the lever on the forklift only once.

Np. No you will just need the password near the end.

Comment aoife b
10 Dec 2010
thanks. so the fact that i couldn't bring up the emails won't affect the rest of the game?

Comment Tim Hamilton
10 Dec 2010
I can't get it to replicate. But here is what the e-mail says.
I figured I would post it here anyhow because reading the e-mail is not needed till the end of the game and someone might miss it and have to start over.
.....
The screen displays a few mysterious emails from 'scourge' to 'falcon'...
July 2cnd
"I have completed the research and am convinced this will work. More tests will be done over the next week... Will be in touch."

July 11th
"Everything works but if we don't find away to control the things that are created then all is useless. The fear mixes well and creates random things depending on the subjects' fears. The randomness however is not important. Only the control."

July 22cnd
"Got it! I have a way to control them now. What is created is still random but we should now be able to do more testing as the danger of uncontrolled creations has passed. Still have a problem with sunlight however. The things created are just so light sensitive."

July 31st
"No way to get around the light problem however I have a solution. The chemical used in the creation proccess also produces a thick mist which is heavy. If we up the output we could, with enough chemical, create an atmosphere for them to thrive in. Going to go on to final planning. Meet me in the lab password is "pine fresh".

That was the last entry.

i also got a little angry with the laptop

> use wrench on lap top
You can't use that here.

Comment aoife b
10 Dec 2010
tried it

> take Flash Drive
You remove it from the back of the computer.


> use flash drive on lap top
You plug the flash drive into the lap top. You open up the file that is on the flash drive. You can read the file by looking at the laptop.

> examine lap top
A small lap top computer.
The lap top is on.

Comment Tim Hamilton
10 Dec 2010
Hmmm. That's weird. Try taking the flash drive and then use it on the lap top.

Comment aoife b
10 Dec 2010
ok so i put the flash drive in the lap top in the lab office and it tells me that i can read the file by looking at the lap top, but when i look at the lap top it just tells me that it's turned on

Comment Tim Hamilton
10 Dec 2010
You can get back in the security building there is a door if you look at it you will see a key pad use the electronic key on the keypad then open the door.
If you use the forklift to go east down the back road then there is no going back from there.

Comment aoife b
10 Dec 2010
at least now i know that i need to examine ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING just in case

Comment aoife b
10 Dec 2010
thanks tim, i got through that but had to restart the game anyway because i forgot half the things i was supposed to get in the security building and couldn't get back in

Comment Tim Hamilton
10 Dec 2010
Use the soft soap on the vine. Then you can pick up the fire extinguisher.

Comment aoife b

how do i get rid of the thing in the gypsum pile?

Comment Tim Hamilton
09 Dec 2010
Did you get the flashlight from the cabinets in the security office?
If you did turn in on.

Do you mean the desk where I found the note and the flashdrive or have I missed somewhere?

Comment Tim Hamilton

Sue examine the desk in the lab office.

Comment sue butler

I have the wrench from the skid steer but I can,t find any way to use the forklift

Comment Tim Hamilton

Examine the desk in the lab office.

Comment GAMER!

just examine the steer. and I x the access door it says it's open but when I go north it still says it's to low

Comment sue butler

Help anyone how do I right the skid steer and if I don,t need that where do I find the key for the fork lift?

Comment Tim Hamilton
09 Dec 2010
What does it say when you look at the access door?
I've tried everything I can think of, including using the jack on the door, then saving and loading back in. It works perfectly every time.

Comment GAMER!
09 Dec 2010
I used the floor jack on it and typed n and it said it's to small for you to crawl under

Comment Tim Hamilton
09 Dec 2010
Did you use the floor jack on it? After you use the floor jack on it you should just be able to go north from the courtyard.

Comment GAMER!
08 Dec 2010
Uh think I've found another bug. I got the access door open in refinery courtyard and it said 'it's to small to crawl under' still.

Good game so far, but I am already stuck before the first creature! Any hints please?

Comment Tim Hamilton
07 Dec 2010
Gamer.. I could play the game up to that point and e-mail you the saved game.
E-mail me so I can reply. My address is [email protected]
Heidi, When you leaf blow the animals the shine the light on the clown examine one of the things in the room ie benches. There should be five. On the last one you should find the button for fire control. press ie. if the clown appears leaf blow the balloons and use torch on him then press button.
PS if you die before you press the button and try again, leaf blow the balloons before pressing the button.

Comment heidi
07 Dec 2010
Ummm I'm stuck again. I can't figure out how to defeat the clown. I can use the leaf blower to move the balloons and I can shine the torch in clowns face but thats it. Some help would really be appreciated!

Comment GAMER!
07 Dec 2010
It said you've already searched here. How do i get past that point in the game? already saved after don't want to do all that again

Comment Tim Hamilton
07 Dec 2010
The door to the parking lot you can't open. Besides what kind of horror game would it be if you could just get in your car and leave.
Gamer I think you may have found a glitch. If you search all the things in the room and find the button THEN die before you press it and try again. AND after you retry you press the button before using the blower on the animals then the wrench won't appear.

How do I open the door to the parking lot? I have the electronic key but cant use it on it. I'm stuck as to where to go.

Comment Tim Hamilton
07 Dec 2010
Did it say 'You have already searched here.' or 'you find nothing new'?

Comment GAMER!
06 Dec 2010
I typed push button and it died, neva showed up then I typed x benches and it said you've already searched them

Comment Tim Hamilton
06 Dec 2010
Did you press the red button? After the clown gets killed you should be able to examine it again.

Comment GAMER!
06 Dec 2010
Yeah but when I x benches it says you've already searched there

Comment Tim Hamilton
06 Dec 2010
After you have gotten rid of the the clown you should find a door handle in the benches.

Comment GAMER!
06 Dec 2010
I've done the clown puzzle but I examined the lab stuff again cause couldn't figure out anything else to do it said you already searched there for all of them

I used the leaf blower on the animalls but can't activate the sprinkler system. Is there anything I can set on fire or something?

Comment Tim Hamilton
06 Dec 2010
You can't get through that door thats the other entrance to the smelter control room. If you speak to the workers in the control room you should be able to ask for a key for the gun rack.
Gamer, did you get the leaf blower?

Comment heidi

I've got as far as the spider but I don't have a gun. I'm also stuck trying to get through the door with the broken keypad. Any help is very welcome! Thanks

Oh cool, you've got a new game to try. I have been a bit lazy with my Sir Loin 4. :(

Comment Tim Hamilton
05 Dec 2010
There is too much equipment in the way. You need to get the ladle and spider both in the center of the room. Then use the flashlight on the spider to distract it. Then shoot the chain.

Comment GAMER!
05 Dec 2010
ok I was able to move the ladle south, the spider was in the west part of the room, I shot the chain and I still died!

Comment Tim Hamilton
05 Dec 2010
You can't. But You do have a radio. When you are in the room with the spider. Don't go to the center right away. stay to the perimeter. When the spider gets one step away from you, use the flashlight on it. then move one more step away. Then use the radio to contact neva.

Comment GAMER!
04 Dec 2010
how do I get into the control room? I've tried al ot of stuff nothing worked

Comment Tim Hamilton
04 Dec 2010
You couldn't reach it with the chainsaw anyhow. You need to shoot it but the spider needs to be in the right position and the ladle needs to also and the spider needs to be distracted, This is probably the most challenging boss it the game.

Comment GAMER!
04 Dec 2010
How do I cut the chain in the spider place? I lost the chainsaw with the octopus

Comment Tim Hamilton
04 Dec 2010
Go in the smelter store room and examine the shelves twice(if you haven't already). Then type in 'find boots'. With the work boots you can go to the water tank on top of the building. Examine the body there.

The 4th fuse wet down the pipe. Open the valve in the pump house.

Comment GAMER!
04 Dec 2010
ok I'm at the behind the refinary area I got 3 fuses, and opened the hatch and got rid of the mass but it washed the 4th fuse away I'm guessing and can't figure out what to do now

Comment GAMER!

What now? I've opened the cargo door, killed the vine thing in the west courtyard and read the emails on the laptop.

Comment heidi
04 Dec 2010
I tried everything else apart from that! gonna pick it up from the workshed now! Yeah I did download the game and save it. When I've completed it I'll delete it and try again to see if that makes any difference. Thanks :-)

Comment Tim Hamilton
04 Dec 2010
Fire extinguisher. BTW did you download the game and then save it to the computer. For some reason it's the only way to seem to get quest to save and load games properly.

Comment heidi
03 Dec 2010
Ah I had opened the hatch but hadn't used flashlight. Probably real obvious but how do I get rid of the black mass please? :-S

Comment Tim Hamilton
03 Dec 2010
You are missing the wet fuse. You need to open the hatch(use hammer). then use the flashlight on it. get rid of the black mass. then there will be water running into the valve in the water station. Open the valve there.

Review heidi
03 Dec 2010
Um I'm stuck again! I have three fuses but can't find the fourth. I have the new,dusty and old fuse. Help would be appreciated. Thanks :-)

Comment heidi

Hi Tim I'm really enjoying the game. I managed to get past the first creature at the door and have been caught by the tentacle. The only problem I've found is when I tried loading a previously saved game it wouldn't let me. I'm going to restart but it is a pain. Well done on the game though! I'll save proper judgement until I've finished or got really stuck!
