Mystery Case Files: Escape from Ravenhearst

GrinnypIt's been a long time coming, hasn't it? First you explored Mystery Case Files: Ravenhearst, that twisted house of horrors. Then you returned to Ravenhearst in, appropriately, Mystery Case Files: Return to Ravenhearst and found even more evil lurking within. Now in the newest chapter it's time to escape in Mystery Case Files: Escape from Ravenhearst, the latest adventure/hidden object hybrid from BigFish Studios. Yes, Charles is back as is his crazed son Victor and they are out for revenge!

Mystery Case Files: Escape from RavenhearstIf you are one of the two people on earth who has never played a Ravenhearst game, here's a brief synopsis: There's this evil guy named Charles who, when thwarted by the love of his life, disposed of her and trapped her spirit in the gloomy recesses of Ravenhearst, his maze-like house. Playing the master detective, you first freed poor Emma in the original story, then went back and freed her maid and the maid's twin daughters whose spirits were also trapped, burning down the mansion in the process. However, a taunting package has arrived that lures you back for a third time with the news of mysterious disappearances in the Blackpool area.

Are Charles and his crazy son at it again? You betcha! As you arrive back at the scene of so much evil Emma and her cohorts return as well to help you on your way, although they spend most of their time warning you, you Master Detective you, to turn back. Unfortunately you don't heed their cries and pretty soon you and they are "guests" of Charles, traveling through his nightmarish past. Can you find the missing people and help them and the spirits escape before you go as insane as the Dalimars? Delve deep and find out, although you might need a shower afterwards.

Like Return to Ravenhearst, Mystery Case Files: Escape from Ravenhearst plays as a point-and-click adventure with some hidden object elements incorporated. The great surprise this time around is that the designers have jettisoned the classic "list" type of hidden object scenes and replaced them with something far trickier: morphing objects. The premise of morphing objects has been seen in previous Mystery Case Files games like Mystery Case Files: Madame Fate and Dire Grove, but this time around they are taken to a whole new level. The spirits of Emma and the others cannot help you directly, they can merely cause objects in the background to "morph", or change shape, directing your attention to them. When entering a morphing object scene the only clues you receive are from Emma's locket, which tells you how many morphing objects can be found. Find them all and the spirit will direct you to an area of interest where there is something helpful or handy to be found and placed in the bottom-loading inventory, all the while warning you about getting any closer. Items in the inventory are then used to progress to new areas or launch a varied array of mini-games and puzzles that are clever and unique. A changing cursor helps you navigate the dangerous grounds and a pleasant surprise is the lack of "sparkles" to indicate areas of interest, eliminating a lot of hand-holding which plagues many adventure/hidden object hybrids.

Mystery Case Files: Escape from RavenhearstAnalysis: Mystery Case Files: Escape from Ravenhearst brings the story of Charles and Victor to roaring life with its intense storyline and out-and-out stunning graphics. Just be warned right now, while the first two games were already pretty dark, Escape from Ravenhearst is even more twisted. BigFish has a disclaimer on the game page: "This is an intense psychological thriller that may reveal deep-seated fears. Not for the young or faint of heart. Consider yourself warned." Seriously, they are not kidding. Once you become a guest of Charles you learn the history of the Ravenhearst story from his point of view, and he's one sick puppy.

Lots of hybrids on the market have stunning graphics, but few have all of the bells and whistles that BigFish studios has poured into this amazing game. Along with breathtaking locales you will find dramatic music and incidental sounds to match, together with some of the best puzzles seen in this series in a long, long time. The change from classic hidden object scenes to the morphing object scenes is just whipped cream and nuts with a cherry on top.

The lack of sparkles and other directional hints makes for more challenging gameplay, as do the morphing objects which are not confined to the morphing scenes but are scattered around in other locations as well. Folks who like classic "list" types of hidden object scenes might be disappointed, however, with the new type of gameplay. And granted the morphing scenes do slow the gameplay down a bit, although the refilling hint timer does refill pretty quickly, eliminating some of the drag. The mini-games are fun and challenging, and best of all skippable if they turn out to be not your cup of tea. There is a bit of back-and-forth backtracking, although not nearly as much in Return to Ravenhearst as Escape from Ravenhearst is divided up into more manageable sections.

Mystery Case Files: Escape from Ravenhearst is bound to be controversial. Some will love the leap from classic hidden object scenes to morphing object scenes, some will not. Some will love the live actors and voice overs (especially Charles'), some might object to the drag they sometimes place on the story. Most of all, though, this is a deeply disturbing game which might not be for everyone. If dark and twisted with a side of gorgeous is your cup of tea, though, then this is definitely the game for you!

A Collector's Edition is also available. It includes a bonus collect and match quest, a bonus quest featuring the detective's case book, additional hidden object scenes, and a huge integrated strategy guide.

    Passageway

    • Click the right door to start the puzzle.

      • To solve this puzzle, complete the four minigames.

      • The first challenge is to capture all of the butterflies.

        • To begin, click each of the butterflies to release them, and they will fly around the board following a specific pattern.

        • As they fly past the figurine of the man with the net, push the black button under the lower left corner of the playing card to swing the net.

        • If you timed it correctly, the man will swing his net and catch the butterfly inside.

        • Repeat this with the remaining two butterflies, and a picture of a girl will flip up in the lower left corner holding the number 9.

        • Solution.

      • The second challenge is to move the knight token over all of the spaces on the board until they are all lit.

        • Click the green button to the left of the man with the net to lower the board.

        • The knight token moves the same way a knight in a game of chess would move: two squares horizontally and one square vertically, or one square horizontally and two squares vertically.

        • Example.

        • Click a position on the board to move the knight to that space, causing that tile to illuminate; moving over the same tile twice will cause it to go dim again.

        • Continue to move across the board until every tile is illuminated; a card with the number 5 will partially drop down from the box at the top.

      • The third challenge is to find all of the red letters on the playing card in the correct order.

        • The list of letters is shown in a vertical line on the left side of the board; note the order of the red colored letters from top to bottom: E-G-I-J-L-N-O-Q.

        • The positions of the letters on the card are randomized each game, so the best way to start is by experimentation: click any of the spade symbols on the playing card to reveal the letter hidden underneath.

        • The card has two sides, so if the first letter you picked was correct (the letter E), then the card will stay on the same side and you can guess again to find the next letter (G).

        • If you guess the wrong symbol and it's a letter out of order, the card will flip over to the other side where you can guess again.

        • It's much easier to solve this puzzle by memorizing only one side of the card, so simply click the same place again to flip the card return to the original side.

        • Continue to follow the trial and error process until you have found every red letter on the card, then the card will flip over revealing the number 3.

        • Solution.

      • Now that you have found all the numbers on the board—a red 9, a blue 5, and a green 3—the last challenge is to position the rings over those numbers on the three rulers at the left and right sides of the board.

        • At the top of the board is a box with four arms and two switches: one switch with a green light above it and one switch with an orange light above it. In the lower-right area of the board is a crank which you can rotate in a full circle clockwise or counter-clockwise.

        • The switch underneath the green light cycles between which of the three rings hanging from the chains is currently selected.

        • The first green light selects the red ring, the second green light selects the green ring, the third green light selects the blue ring.

        • Click and drag upwards either of the two longer arms at the top to move the selected ring chain up.

        • Click and drag downwards either of the two shorter arms at the bottom to move the selected ring chain down.

        • The switch underneath the orange light cycles between which of the three rulers is currently selected.

        • The first light selects the top ruler on the left side.

        • The second light selects the lower ruler on the left side.

        • The third light selects the ruler on the right side.

        • Click and drag the crank at the lower right corner to move the ruler in or out: clockwise will push the ruler to the right, counter-clockwise will pull the ruler to the left.

        • Position the upper left ruler so that the number 3 is parallel to the green ring.

        • Position the lower left ruler so that the number 9 is parallel to the red ring.

        • Position the right ruler so that the number 5 is parallel to the blue ring.

        • Now that the rulers are in position, use the arms to move the rings up or down so that each ring encircles the correct number as precisely as possible (it's quite picky).

        Solution.

    • Once the puzzle is solved, go through the open door on the right to the Shock Therapy Room.

      • The remaining number of objects left to be found is tracked by the number inside the open locket at the lower right corner of the screen.

      • After completing each morphing object scene, the power of the locket will alter the scenery, often revealing an item that can be added to your Inventory.

      • Random clicking or mis-clicking too many times will return discovered morphing objects back into the scene, so click carefully!

    3. What are Door Tokens and how do I use them?

      • Door Tokens are items exclusive to the Collector's Edition version of the game.

      • Inside the Tank Room are 5 golden doors. When you use the appropriate key at each door, the Door Tokens will appear from the slots around the lock and can then be collected and added to your Inventory.

      • Each Token shows a smaller image that represents an actual area within the game. Find the matching location, align the Token as closely as you can to the area, then click to activate the Token.

      • After all of the Tokens from a door have been activated, return them to the slots around the lock to open the door.

      • Refer to the Door Tokens section of the Collector's Edition Walkthrough above the comments for the solutions to each door.

    4. What are the numbers at the top of the Case Report tabs?

      • The orange and yellow tabs at the top of the Case Report are exclusive content to the Collector's Edition version of the game.

      • 31 of the pages in the Case Report contain a morphing object either in the text or the image on the page. 16 of the objects go to the Yellow tab when found and 15 go to the Orange tab when found.

      • After all of objects of a tab are found, you can click the tab to start a hidden object scene.

      • Refer to the Case Report section of the Collector's Edition Walkthrough above the comments for the solutions to journal tab and both hidden object scenes.

    5. Why can't I zoom in/click on an area anymore?

      • There are several reasons why an area might be unresponive: the most often cause is because you've completed everything that needs to be done in that area and have no need to look at it anymore.

      • Another common reason is because you have not yet visited a prerequisite area (for example, you cannot click the combination buttons to Charles' diary in the Asylum without having first listened to the recording in the Sewers).

      • Many areas are also unresponsive because they contain one of the four colored handles; before you can access a handle's hidden spot, you must first find the polaroid that "reveals" its location.

      • Skip to the question "Where are all the polaroids required to find the handles?" in the Proposal section of the FAQ if your unresponsive area is one of the handle locations for the complete solution.

    Ravenhearst Manor

    1. How do I get the key to the Lighthouse?

      • Travel to the Lighthouse Entrance, then click the pile of stones beside the path to zoom in.

      • Use the Bottle Opener to remove the Large Rock from the top of the pile, then click the Key and it will drop into the hole.

      • Return when you have the Twine (from the stack of letters at the Cottage Gate) and the Magnet (from the Destroyed Manor morphing object scene).

      • Use the Magnet on the hole of the stones, then attach the Twine to Magnet and use the combined items to retrieve the Key from the hole.

    2. How do I open the Cottage door?

      • Travel to the Swing. Use the Large Rock (from the pile of stones at the Lighthouse Entrance) to break off the Metal Bar from the end of the iron fence.

      • Go to the Cottage Entrance. Click the broken doorknob at the side of the door to zoom in, then use the Metal Bar on the large crack between the door and the wall beside the doorknob to pry the door open.

    3. How do I go down to the Cliff?

      • Go to the Lighthouse Entrance. Click the water pump beside the path to zoom in.

      • Use the Wrench (from the complete morphing object scene at the Stairway Bottom in the lighthouse) to remove the Hose from the tap.

      • Go to the Cottage. Click the spigot sticking out of the lower section of the vine-covered wall to the left of the door to zoom in.

      • Attach the Hose to the tap, then go right over the fence and down to the Cliff.

    4. How do I solve the electric box puzzle at the Lighthouse Gate?

      • First find the combination 5-3-7-4 from the lighthouse keeper's journal inside the chest at the Lighthouse, then you can start the puzzle at the gate.

      • Arrange the symbols on the buttons around the panel so that the numbers travel to the bottom in the correct order of the combination from the lighthouse keeper's note.

      • The numbers need to be the correct value, in the correct order, and positioned upright.

      • To begin with, follow the path of each number to find where it stops at the bottom to determine whether its value should be 5, 3, 7, or 4 in order from left to right.

      • Once you know what each number needs to be when it reaches the end of the track, click the round buttons to either + or - to add or subtract 1 to that number when it passes the button.

      • When you have made the correct value, all you need to do is rotate it so that it is facing the right direction; click the round buttons again to choose between the clockwise or counterclockwise position to rotate it in that direction.

      • Along each number's track are buttons (some are silver, some are hidden under regular buttons) with random effects on the number passing over them by either adding or subtracting from the number or rotating it.

      • If the number at the bottom looks correct but you still get a red light, check for two possible causes: An upside down 2 is identical to the number 5 and an upside down number 3 is identical to the right-side up number 3.

    5. Why can't I dig with the shovel in the Graveyard?

      • Because it's still too dark to see. First, you need to complete the lighthouse override puzzle then return to the closest grave where you should be able to dig without a problem.

      • Go inside the destroyed Ravenhearst Manor. Click the brick lying on the floor to zoom in, then click the brick again to lift it. Attach the torn piece of paper from your inventory to the ripped sheet of paper underneath the brick to complete the page.

      • Note that the word "Last" is underlined and the four numbered arrows at the bottom of the page: Right arrow is 1, Down arrow is 2, Left arrow is 3, Up arrow is 4.

      • Go to the Graveyard. Click the second grave to view Edmond Last's tombstone; at the bottom of the tombstone are five numbers (which are random each game). The numbers on the grave correspond to the numbered directional arrows from the note under the brick.

      • Go to the top of the Lighthouse Tower. Click the override panel to zoom in. Press the lever in the same direction as the numbered arrows in the order found on the tombstone (e.g. if your tombstone number is 12341 you would push the lever Right, Down, Left, Up, Right).

    7. Where are the V Keys and what do I do with them?

      • V Key 1/3 is in the destroyed Ravenhearst Manor. After completing the morphing object scene, click the fireplace to look inside. Remove the loose brick to find the V key.

      • V Key 2/3 is at the Kitchen of the Dalimar House. Click the pie on the windowsill to zoom in. Break the crust of the pie three times to reveal the V Key inside it.

      • V Key 3/3 is in the Cave through the proposal door. To the right of the violinist, near the mouth of the cave, is a pile of dirt and debris. Click the pile to zoom in then use the Pick Axe to clear away the rocks uncovering the V Key.

      • When you have all 3 V Keys, go to the Cottage. Click the lock on the green toolbox to zoom in, then place the V Keys into the circular spaces at the sides of the box.

    8. How do I solve the first part of the V Key puzzle?

      • The first part of the puzzle is solved by clicking the four V keys around the lock to turn them all upright.

      • Clicking the top V rotates the top, right, and bottom keys.

      • Clicking the right V rotates the right and left keys.

      • Clicking the bottom V key rotates the bottom and top keys.

      • Clicking the left key rotates the left and bottom keys.

      • When all of the V Keys are upright, the second part of the puzzle begins.

    9. How do I solve the second part of the V Key puzzle?

      • To solve the second half of the puzzle, move all of the numbered tiles into an empty space.

      • Click a tile to select it; empty spaces with a blue indicate you can move the tile to that area.

      • A tile can only move vertically, horizontally, or diagonally into a space that is an equal distance away as the number shown on the tile.

      • When a tile is moved, it will lock in place; all tiles must be moved for the puzzle to be completed.

    Hospital

    1. How do I get into the Maternity Ward/How do I use the Eyechart in the Hallway/What are the toetags in the Morgue for/How do I solve the receptionist's puzzle?

      • All of these questions are a part of the solution to the same puzzle for the nurse at the Reception Desk.

      • The first step is to travel to the Morgue. Click the toe tags on all 5 of the corpses to view their information; you're looking for 2 things: the Patient Number and the Height (which is random each game).

      • After you've noted the height of all five patients, go to the Hallway. Click the eye chart on the wall to zoom in. Use the Magnifying Glass in your inventory (from the table top in the Lighthouse) to view the tiny letters at the bottom of the chart.

      • Starting with Patient #1, use their height to identify the corresponding letter. If Patient #1 is 6'2" then you would start at the line next to the 6' mark and then go from left to right to the 2nd letter which would be "E".

      • Repeat this process until you have the letter for all 5 patients, which should complete a five letter word (The word is random but common examples are Lefty, Feely, and Flood).

      • Go to the nurse at the Reception desk. Click the board in the center of her torso to zoom in. Press the letters to spell the word you found using the eye chart; if the word is correct, the door to the Maternity Ward will open.

    2. What do I do with the pregnant mannequins' stomachs in the Maternity Ward?

      • The inflatable stomachs are a mini-game puzzle that you solve by enlarging the bellies of all of the women lying on the hospital beds.

      • Starting from the second to last woman on the right, click her belly twice. This will inflate the belly of the woman to her right.

      • Continue moving left and clicking the stomachs of each woman two times to inflate the belly of the woman to her right until you reach the last mannequin.

      • Click her stomach twice to inflate the belly of the mannequin to her right, then click her outstretched hand to inflate her own stomach.

      • Red Pill 2/4 is next to the patient on the operating table in the Surgery room. Click the operating table to zoom in and you will see it just above the mannequin's shoulder.

      • Red Pill 3/4 is in the Morgue at the morphing object scene area. Zoom in to the sink in the back of the room to find the pill beside the bar of soap and the faucet.

      • Red Pill 4/4 is in the mannequin's mouth in the Maternity Ward. Solve the puzzle with the inflated bellies, and the far left mannequin will open her mouth. Click her face to zoom in and take the last pill.

      • When you have collected all 4 of the red pills, go to the Patient Ward. Click the IV drip at the side of the patient's bed to zoom in, then drop all the red pills into the funnel; the patient will raise his arm holding Charles' birth certificate.

    5. Where are the 5 blue pills and what do I do with them?

      • Click the ultrasound machine with the panel containing three sliders under the letters D, N, and A.

      • Moving these sliders also moves the pressure gauges at the side of the patient's bed; dragging the slider to the top sets the gate at 1 and dragging the slider to the bottom sets to the gauge to 12.

      • Set the slider under each letter to match the pressure gauges with the numbers under the D/N/A letter tabs of the birth certificate.

      • If the gauges are set correctly, you can press the green button to deliver the baby.

    7. What do I do with the baby from the machine?

      • Click the robotic baby to open its eyes. The color of its eyes will begin to cycle between green, red, and blue.

      • When the baby's eyes are green, use the Wire Cutters to clip the green wire; when the baby's eyes are red, use the Wire Cutters again to clip the red wire; and finally when the baby's eyes are blue, use the Wire Cutters a third time to clip the blue wire.

        • The blue wire has a smaller interactive area than the other wires; if you click outside the box it may accidentally minimize and reset the puzzle.

      • If you clip a wire when the baby's eyes are a different color or when the eyes are closed, the baby will explode and you will have to push the green button and start again.

      • When the puzzle is solved, take the Baby Charles from the machine.

    Dalimar House

    2. How do I use the clock to complete Momma's chores?

      • In the closet under the stairs is a journal with a list of chores and the time at which they have to be done. To complete the three chores, you need to change the time on the cuckoo clock and then go to the Bedroom to complete the task assigned for that time.

      • If you are having difficulty getting the next chore to start, try these two steps: first return to the Bedroom to make sure you have completed the last chore by collecting -all- of the remains around the bed (10 toenails/5 nose hairs/5 pimples) then go down to the closet under the stairs and open & read the Journal again for the time to the next chore.

    3. How do I clip Momma's toenails?

      • Click the cuckoo clock beside the stairs in the Foyer to zoom in, then drag the hands of the clock to change the time to 4:25. Abigail will shout from upstairs that it's time to clip her toenails.

      • Go upstairs to the Bedroom. Use the Wire Cutters (from the completed morphing object scene in the Hallway of the Hospital) to clip all 10 nails on the toes of both feet. Make sure you collect all 10 of the toenails that drop to the surface of the bed.

      • When you have all 10 toenail clippings, you can return to the closet under the stairs. Check the journal for the time to the next chore. Change the time on the cuckoo clock to 7:40. Abigail will shout from upstairs that it is time to trim her nosehairs.

        • If Abigal does -not- shout and the next chore isn't started, return to the bedroom and make sure you have collected ALL of the toenails as you cannot continue until you have all 10 (it also works if you put the toenails into the jar in the Kitchen).

    4. How do I trim Momma's nose hairs?

      • Return to the Bedroom. Click Abigail's face to zoom in, then use the Wire Cutters (from the completed morphing object scene in the Hallway of the Hospital) to clip the nose hairs sprouting from her nostrils. Collect all 5 trimmed Nose Hairs from her cheeks.

      • When you have all 5 nose hairs, go back to the closet under the stairs. Check the journal again for the last chore. Change the time on the cuckoo clock to 10:00, and Abigal will shout that it's time to pop her pimples.

        • If Abigal does -not- shout and the next chore isn't started, return to the bedroom and make sure you have collected ALL of the nose hairs as you cannot continue until you have all 5 (it also works if you put the nose hairs into the jar in the Kitchen).

    5. How do I pop Momma's pimples?

      • Go to the Bedroom. Click Abigail's face to zoom in, then click all of the pimples around her face to pop them. Pick up all the pimple pus left on her cheeks to collect all 5.

      • If you have not done so yet, go to the Kitchen and place all of the remains from the three chores (The toe nails, the nose hairs, and the pimple pus), then put them into the jar labeled Momma's Leavings. When all of the parts are in the jar, the dumbell in the kitchen should open.

    6. How do I use the boiler to turn on the hot water?

      • First, go to the Cellar and click the boiler to zoom in.

      • Place the Boiler Crank (from the dumbwaiter in the Kitchen) into the space at the front of the boiler beside the right handle.

      • Click each boiler handle -only- one time to turn on the heat.

      • Go to the Bathroom upstairs. Click the sink to zoom in, then turn the left "H" tap to turn on the hot water (do not touch the "C" cold water tap).

      • If the boiler is working properly, the hot water from the sink should steam up the bathroom mirror.

    7. How do I open the lock to the cage in the Cellar?

      • When the steam covers the mirror in the bathroom, the image of a lock with several circles inside will appear.

      • Four of the circles will be slightly darker than the other surrounding circles. Note the position of those darker circles, then go down to the Cellar.

      • Click the padlock on the cage to zoom in; the buttons that are raised up will be light gold in color while buttons that are pressed down will be much darker.

      • Click the 4 buttons on the lock so that the pressed down buttons are in the same position as the dark circles from the steam image on the mirror.

    8. How do I fix the button to the Spank-A-Tronic machine?

      • Go to the Manor Gates in the Ravenhearst Manor area (the first scene at the start of the game). Click the broken intercom in the middle of the left pillar to zoom in.

      • Use the Wire Cutters (from the completed morphing object scene in the Hallway of the Hospital) to cut off the Blue Wire, Green Wire, Yellow Wire, and Red Wire.

      • Go to the Foyer of the Dalimar House. Click the frayed wire on the floor to zoom in. Place the colored wires in the space between the frayed ends of the wires with matching color (Red Wire on top, Yellow Wire second, Green Wire third, Blue Wire on the bottom)

    Asylum

      • Use the Ice Pick on the hole at the side of the head to remove the square panel, then use the Ice Pick again on the hole in the center of the panel to change the arrow from Normal to Lobotomy setting.

    2. How do I solve the Knight token puzzle on the Office door?

      • Imagine the board where columns are numbered from left to right 1-6 and the rows are lettered from up to down A-D; following that example, in this screenshot the token is at the position D4.

      • The token can move just like a knight in a game of chess: either two spaces horizontally and one space vertically, or two spaces vertically and one space horizontally.

      • You can move the token to the same spot more than once, but doing so will toggle the light at that square on or off every time.

      • Start by moving the token to space D4, then push the green button to reset the puzzle (the board resets but the token should stay in place at D4).

      • Now move the token to the following spaces in this exact order:

        • C6, A5, B3, A1, C2, A3, C4, D6, B5, C3, D1, B2, A4, B6, D5, B4, A6, C5, D3, C1, A2, C3, B1, D2, B1, C3, B1.

      • The recipe for the Sleeping Potion (found in the file cabinet at the Office) includes 3 ingredients: blood, sweat, and tears.

      • Go to the Surgery in the Hospital. Click the cabinet against the left wall to zoom in. Use the Eyedropper (from the open book on the counter after completing the morphing object scene) on the pool of blood spilled from the beaker.

      • Go to the Laboratory in the Asylum. Use the Dropper of Blood on the beaker on the counter to add the first ingredient to the potion.

      • Go to the Shock Therapy Room in the Asylum. Complete the morphing object scene to electrocute the mannequin, then click his face to zoom in. Use the Eyedropper to take the drops of sweat from his face.

      • Go to the Laboratory in the Asylum. Use the Dropper of Sweat on the beaker on the counter to add the second ingredient to the potion.

      • Go to the Foyer in the Dalimar House. Click the Spank-A-Tronic button on the floor to zoom in, then press the red button to start the machine (if you have not yet fixed the button, refer to the question "How do I fix the button to the Spank-A-Tronic machine?" in the Dalimar House section). Click the boy's face to zoom in and use the Eyedropper to collect the tear from his cheek.

      • Go to the Laboratory in the Asylum. Use the Dropper of Tears on the beaker on the counter to add the third and final ingredient to the potion.

      • Take the completed Sleeping Potion from the stand.

    4. How do I get through the grasping hands in the Cell Block?

      • Go to the Recreation Room in the Asylum. Click the vent at the bottom of the left pillar to zoom in.

      • Use the Ice Pick to remove the grate, then put the Sleeping Potion inside the ventilation duct. This will put all of the prisoners in the Cell Block to sleep.

    5. How do I open the left (Charles Dalimar's) prison cell door on the Roof?

      • Go to the Courtyard of the Asylum. Place the Ladder against the wall under the window, then click the window to look inside the room.

      • Note the 5 numbers on the panel above the door then travel to the Roof as quickly as you can.

      • You now have 60 seconds to open the door before it resets and a new set of 5 numbers is generated. The arrow of the timer points to the green section up to the 30 second mark, then the yellow section until the 45 second mark, and the red section for the last 15 seconds til the 60 second mark.

      • Click the left door to zoom in to the lock, then press the buttons to enter the combination seen above the door in the courtyard cell. When the correct combination is entered, the green light will flash and the door can be opened.

      • If the door does not open, make sure you're using the correct combination, as the solution resets to a new string of random numbers every minute; also, make sure you are viewing at the lock to the correct door (Charles' door is on the left, the unknown prisoner's is on the right).

    6. How do I open the right prison cell door on the Roof?

      • Go to the Surveillance Room in the Asylum. Click the center screen in the top row of monitors to zoom in.

      • Click the button to change the channel to the image showing the door through the Courtyard window with a new set of numbers above it.

      • Again, you have 60 seconds to return to the Roof then enter the combination into the lock on the right door.

    Proposal

    1. Why can't I click on the pile of rocks in the Cave to zoom in?

      • Because the Yellow Handle is hidden in the rocks. Before you can find one of the colored handles, you must first find the polaroid that "reveals" its location or its hidden area will remain unresponsive - please refer to the following question for all polaroid solutions.

    2. Where are all the polaroids required to find the colored handles?

      • The "Something Old" photograph reveals the location of the Red Handle. Go to the outide Entrance of the Asylum. Click the male mannequin sitting on the bench to find the polaroid on his lap.

      • The "Something New" photograph reveals the location of the Green Handle. Go to the Roof of the Asylum. Click the stack of crates by the broken wall to find the polaroid.

      • The "Something Borrowed" photograph reveals the location of the Yellow Handle. Go to the Office in the Asylum. Click the right candlestick on top of the fireplace mantle to lower the bookshelf, revealing a secret one-way mirror. Click the mirror to find the mannequin banging his head against the glass with the polaroid around his neck.

      • The "Something Blue" photograph reveals the location of the Blue Handle. Go to the Prisoner Cell on the roof of the Asylum. Click the polaroid stuck to the back wall of the cell.

    3. Where are all of the colored handles and what do I do with them?

      • The Red Handle is in the Patient Ward in the Hospital. Click the pillow on the bed to look underneath and find the handle.

      • The Green Handle is in the Bathroom in the Dalimar house. Click the pipes underneath the sink to zoom in and find the handle.

    I hope this is a good one, especially with 3D in it, though I think it's a good alternative than (no offense) SyFy-like live action people, as long as it's good. I heard another one is coming exclusively for the Nintendo Wii.

    Horrible, horrible, horrible disappointment.

    Morphing does more than slow the gameplay, it removes the gameplay. I am totally disappointed. I was really looking forward to this game, the whole story, but it was just plain not worth my time.

    I could not handle having to sit there and wait for things to move, how utterly boring. It takes all the fun out of the game, now you can't even look for things you just have to sit with no clue and stare at the screen, hoping that there is a small chance that you might possibly be looking at something when it "morphs". How is that a game? It's more like standing in line at the bank, and I can do that for free.

    I honestly could not make it through more than one of those morphing screens. I spent a fricking hour dling the game because it's so big and I couldn't even stand to play for more than six minutes, that's including watching the interesting opening bits and coming up with a cool detective name.

    I hope this is the last we see of morphing. Seriously. It might be fun to code but it is no fun to play.

    I've been looking forward to this game, but all the warnings are making me nervous that I won't be able to stomach it!

    Did you clip the nails of BOTH feets?

    @Danielle

    The warnings are about that during the game you will have to do things with dummies and mannequins which obviously hurt them. This is even more intense, when you have sound running as the sounds are very realistic.
    If you think, you might cannot handle this, you maybe should skip this game :). No game is worth to have bad feelings. A game should be fun :)

    I was looking forward to this one, but sadly I'd have to get a new computer to do so. I guess I'll be stuck in Ravenhurst for eternity now. (Bigger isn't always better, guys)

    Silly, nitpicky question-- The review says "Can you find the missing people and help them and the spirits escape before you go as insane as the Ravenhearsts?"

    Is this a mistake? The other two Ravenhearst games say Charles's last name is Dalimar. Ravenhearst is just the name of the house.

    After playing the demo, I was totally creeped out. Not just by the game itself, but by the fact that it only took twenty-five minutes for me to get through it.

    Also, I have to agree with the others: the game is extremely laggy!

    I downloaded this (the demo version), but it does not play on my computer and my cursor gets stuck in one place. it took me 29 minutes to get to the first scene :(

    I need help! I'm stuck in the hospital and can't find the room where I have to enter the numbers that correspond to the letters DNA from Charle's makeshift birth certificate. Any suggestions?

    Where is the screwdriver to change the dummy from normal to lobotomy? I had it earlier in the hospital but when I opened the outside speaker it was gone.

    Help! I cannot get by the birth certificate! The Strategy guide is SO unhelpful...

    Okay, I was pleased when the MCF series became darker in tone after its first goofy games, but after this game they REALLY need to dial it back a bit. I just got past the maternity ward section, & I know it's only going to get worse.

    1. To get the birth certificate you actually only need to place the four red pills in the infusion container of the guy laying alone in the room.

    2. He will have the birth certificate in his hand after, you can click it to zoom in.

    If you are having problems with what is coming after looking at that certificate:

    1. Click on three letters: D N A (it does not matter which of them) - and memorize the shown numbers.

    2. Now return to the room where the dummie in labour is laying

    3. Zoom into the machine with the monitor and you see three sliders D N A

    4. Consider the lowest position of each slider as 1

    5. Now move the sliders all in a position, where you think the numbers for D N and A in the birth certificate could be.

    6. Exit the close up and zoom into the gauges you can see at the bed

    7. This three gauges represent the three slider positions. Also in the order D N A

    8. Look at the gauge pointer. The roman numbers show, at which position your slider is standing. So: If you for example had the numbers 7 5 9 on the birth certifikate and the gauges now show: 6 4 12 then you have to return to the device and move slider D a bit up, slider N a bit down and slider A a bit more up

    9. Exit and check on the gauges again. You will need to do this, till the gauge pointers do show the numbers, you have seen on the birth certificate.

    Hope I could help and you can understand :)

    As far as I remember you need an ice pick for this - it can be in found the ECT room upstairs.

    You can access the switch on the dummy by

    using the razor from the bathroom of the childhood home, shave his head then put the ice pick in the hole and play the card game with him after the switch.

    Two suggestions:
    1. Make sure that you not only placed the handle at the boiler but also clicked both handles 1x.
    2. Try to leave the bathroom and come back - sometimes stupid things like this are needed to activate others.

    Dummy lobotomy,

    use the ice pick.

    DNA' get the 3 numbers from certificate;

    dummy giving birth has 3 clocks next to her bed; esitmate the certifcate numbers on the sliders on the DNA machine, check each slider with a clock dial.

    Strat guide numbers don't always match with game. Also sometimes you have to do one thing to activate the next part, so there's no skipping along.

    I have noticed that this game doesn't help out with where to go next;

    like the birth cert to the delivery ward I would not have got there without the strat guide,

    this happens a few times throughout (must say i never used the strat guide for any of the other ravenhurst games)theres just parts of this that make no sense.

    Also I don't know why adverts are making out it's scary, it's really not.

    I am right at the end and have no idea what to do next, strat guide sucks.

    You are absolutely right, some of the puzzles are random, others not.

    Can you be a little bit more specific about where you are stuck right now? Maybe we can help :)

    Kim,

    If you have already clipped all of the 10 toenails, try collecting them off of the bed and placing them in the jar in the kitchen labeled Mother's Leavings. Afterwards go back to the clock and adjust the hands.

    The position of the hands on the clock face has to be precise - you'll know you've got it right when the room shakes and Abigail yells at you to come upstairs to take care of her nose hairs.

    I don't believe it's a glitch, I think the game is just too picky about having things done in an exactly linear way.

    I have clipped all ten toenails and put in jar in kitchen. Then I went back to clock and set time to 7:40. Room shakes, I go upstairs and still no nose hairs. Any suggestions.

    Thanks Kayleigh, ive tried all sorts of things but still cant get the cage lock to open. I know the boiler is working because i cant zoom into it anymore.

    You need to go back the way you came. That means going down the hose to the cliff and then through the hole in the rock wall on the left to return to the sewers. Once you're in the sewers, just go back through the asylum way to the tank room.

    I cannot read he 4th level of letters on the eye chart and 2 of my heights are 4'10 and 4'7. Can anyone tell me the letters on level 4? I played the other ravenhearst games and this is NOT the best one. Too long on morphing. Also on other puzzles everything was basically self contained and you just had to figure it out. That as nice. Now you have to run all over the place getting clues and if you fail to get one before you get the puzzle your lost.

    Pat,

    Use the magnifying glass then hover it over the letters at the bottom row to see them up close.

    FjGal,

    It sounds like you're only pushing the lever 4 times when you have five numbers. With your combination, the correct order should be:
    Up, Down, Right, Left, Down.

    Let me know how that works! :)

    Hello, I need help please. I'm at the beginning of Chapter 2. I opened the red gift box, removed the key, inserted the key into the golden door, received 2 tokens "together" and "again",... What comes next?, I thought the golden door would open. I've attempted to place the tokens in various spots, however nothing happens. I'm stuck...

    I hate morphing, and I hate this game. I gave it a go and didn't last past the first screen of 11 morphs.

    I see morphs as the opposite of the "sparkle problem" (casual games that throws unwanted sparkle-hints left and right, along with annoyingly distracting glowing on-screen elements "new notes!! view me now!!" yuck). Now, instead of bombarding one with unneeded visuals, they're providing even-less on-screen information then a standard HOG screen.

    It took two "hint" uses before I was able to see that the game was showing a 2mm square area on the screen had a tiny leaf that would appear/disappear every five seconds - the final morph I had to find.

    There is no way I'm going to play a game where one of the core gameplay challenges is met by LETTING MY EYES GO BLURRY AND HAVING MY PERIPHERAL VISION DO THE WORK!

    If future games in the MCF series use morphs, unless they provide a "puzzle only" mode that auto-skips all morph screens, I'll never play a MCF game again.

    Passageway

    • Click the right door to start the puzzle.

      • To solve this puzzle, complete the four minigames.

      • The first challenge is to capture all of the butterflies.

        • To begin, click each of the butterflies to release them, and they will fly around the board following a specific pattern.

        • As they fly past the figurine of the man with the net, push the black button under the lower left corner of the playing card to swing the net.

        • If you timed it correctly, the man will swing his net and catch the butterfly inside.

        • Repeat this with the remaining two butterflies, and a picture of a girl will flip up in the lower left corner holding the number 9.

        • Solution.

      • The second challenge is to move the knight token over all of the spaces on the board until they are all lit.

        • Click the green button to the left of the man with the net to lower the board.

        • The knight token moves the same way a knight in a game of chess would move: two squares horizontally and one square vertically, or one square horizontally and two squares vertically.

        • Example.

        • Click a position on the board to move the knight to that space, causing that tile to illuminate; moving over the same tile twice will cause it to go dim again.

        • Continue to move across the board until every tile is illuminated; a card with the number 5 will partially drop down from the box at the top.

      • The third challenge is to find all of the red letters on the playing card in the correct order.

        • The list of letters is shown in a vertical line on the left side of the board; note the order of the red colored letters from top to bottom: E-G-I-J-L-N-O-Q.

        • The positions of the letters on the card are randomized each game, so the best way to start is by experimentation: click any of the spade symbols on the playing card to reveal the letter hidden underneath.

        • The card has two sides, so if the first letter you picked was correct (the letter E), then the card will stay on the same side and you can guess again to find the next letter (G).

        • If you guess the wrong symbol and it's a letter out of order, the card will flip over to the other side where you can guess again.

        • It's much easier to solve this puzzle by memorizing only one side of the card, so simply click the same place again to flip the card return to the original side.

        • Continue to follow the trial and error process until you have found every red letter on the card, then the card will flip over revealing the number 3.

        • Solution.

      • Now that you have found all the numbers on the board—a red 9, a blue 5, and a green 3—the last challenge is to position the rings over those numbers on the three rulers at the left and right sides of the board.

        • At the top of the board is a box with four arms and two switches: one switch with a green light above it and one switch with an orange light above it. In the lower-right area of the board is a crank which you can rotate in a full circle clockwise or counter-clockwise.

        • The switch underneath the green light cycles between which of the three rings hanging from the chains is currently selected.

        • The first green light selects the red ring, the second green light selects the green ring, the third green light selects the blue ring.

        • Click and drag upwards either of the two longer arms at the top to move the selected ring chain up.

        • Click and drag downwards either of the two shorter arms at the bottom to move the selected ring chain down.

        • The switch underneath the orange light cycles between which of the three rulers is currently selected.

        • The first light selects the top ruler on the left side.

        • The second light selects the lower ruler on the left side.

        • The third light selects the ruler on the right side.

        • Click and drag the crank at the lower right corner to move the ruler in or out: clockwise will push the ruler to the right, counter-clockwise will pull the ruler to the left.

        • Position the upper left ruler so that the number 3 is parallel to the green ring.

        • Position the lower left ruler so that the number 9 is parallel to the red ring.

        • Position the right ruler so that the number 5 is parallel to the blue ring.

        • Now that the rulers are in position, use the arms to move the rings up or down so that each ring encircles the correct number as precisely as possible (it's quite picky).

        Solution.

    • Once the puzzle is solved, go through the open door on the right to the Shock Therapy Room.

    Hi. I'm stuck in the tank. It says that I should be able to go to the hospital, but after using the key and collecting the 2 tokens, "Together" and "Again" it won't let me do anything....suggestions?

    Amy,

    The current walkthrough includes the standard edition content, your door tokens are an added extra for the collector's edition!

    Each door token has an image inside that is a small picture of an actual location in the game itself. Your task is to find where in the game each picture in a door token is showing. The first two are easy: if you look at the top of the tank room you can find the word "Together" engraved above the left lamp and "Again" engraved above the right lamp. Click either door token to select it, then carefully align it over each word, then click to place the token.

    If you placed it correctly, the token will briefly glow green and become charged. Return to the middle raven tank with both charged tokens, and put them into the round slots around the keyhole.

    There are plenty more door tokens to find at the end of each chapter, an addition to the walkthrough with all of their locations will be posted soon :) Good luck!

    Pat,

    I'm sorry you're having a difficult time reading the letters, I'm sure that must be very frustrating :(

    The bottom line finishes the message on the eye chart reading "How does it feel to be me yo..."
    4' Line: U-L-I-T-T-L-E-F-L-Y

    According to the heights you named earlier, your letters should be "E" and "Y"

    Reply

    Stupid me....The cursor turned to a magnifying glass on the eye chart so I thought that was the magnifying glass to use. Then I realized that there was a magnifying glass in my inventory....BINGO. Got the letters I needed to proceed.

    I put the key into Charlottes key hole and got the door tokens. According to the spoiler I should have gotten a door open. Do the tokens have to be used to get into another room?

    We are stumped with the token that has the wallpaper in the room with the birth certificae. Where is the spot? The tokens wallpaper is too small for any place but in the closeup picture but we cannot see to match up. Please help us get this last token activated.

    Rich & pat,

    I believe the door token with the wallpaper on it is in the Patient Ward. If you click the area around the IV drip with the funnel it, by the floating balloon, you get a close-up of the wall. You should be able to find the fitting piece of wallpaper there.

    Reply

    Carrie, it sounds like you may actually be missing one of the blue pills, double check each of their locations to make sure you have all 5:

    Blue Pill Locations:

    • 1/5 - Inside the mailbox at the House Entrance.

    • 2/5 - On the face of the grandfather clock in the Foyer.

    • 3/5 - Inside the journal in the cupboard under the stairs of the Foyer.

    • 4/5 - Behind the bottle in the medicine cabinet in the Bathroom.

    • 5/5 - On the windowsill next to the pie in the Kitchen.

    I am having trouble with the door tokens after putting in the proposal key. I just have one left but where I need to put it I need to be able to make the area bigger. I already solved the puzzle there so it will not get bigger. Any ideas?

    Reply

    Jaqe,

    I think the item you are referring to is the Bed Sheet. You can find it inside the circus cage at the Cellar of the Dalimar House. However, I don't believe you'll be able to access it until you have done all of the chores to fill the jar of "Momma's Leavings" in the kitchen (that includes setting the clock to 7:40 to clip her nose hairs).

    Some people have reported that checking the journal in the cupboard under the stairs between changing the times on the clock has made it work. You should also make sure that you have collected all 10 toenails that fall onto Abigail's bed after you've clipped her toes.

    You are suppose to use the bed sheet to make a rope to go out the window.

    Which token are you referring to? I'd be happy to help if you could explain with a little more detail please :)

    Trinn,
    It's the token for Rose's tank. It's the pic of the nurse at the reception desk at the hospital. She is holding a board with letters on it. The token would line up if I could make the area bigger but it no longer does.
    Thanks

    Reply

    Ahh! If you look at the token, you'll notice it's actually a different color than the nurse standing at the reception desk itself. That's because...

    ...it's the screen image of the nurse on the monitor in the Surveillance Room in the Asylum!

    Sneaky, huh? :P

    Need help with finding the flower token from the marriage door. Please help. We have been playing this all day but would have been stuck many times without the help we got. THANKS. Did not encounter this many problems with the other two Ravenhearst however. After days of doing these sequels, does that mean we are going crazy ourselves? :)

    Reply

    pat,

    Hmm, I'm not quite sure which token you're referring to. Do you mean...

    the token showing the leafy top of the tree? If so, that tree can be found in the Ravenhearst area.

    Go to the Lighthouse Gate. From that position look towards the lighthouse and below it you'll see a tree. The token aligns with upper left portion of the tree and the background of the sky.

    Reply

    Cherie,

    Please refer to Chapter 2 in the walkthrough posted at the top of the comments to find the solution to that puzzle. The word can change each game, so if Lefty doesn't work, then Lefty is the wrong word :)

    Hania,

    Since you still have the Pick Axe, you should be able to view the close-up of the rubble. It looks like a pile of dirt and stone and it is found at the mouth of the cave, on the left side. If you're having difficulty seeing it, try moving the cursor around the area until it changes to a magnifying glass.

    If you purchased the collector's edition, you can see a screenshot of the area on page 199 of the strategy guide.

    Reply

    Elaina,

    The handle you're looking for is the Yellow Handle. Refer to the the Cave area at the beginning of Chapter 5 - The Wedding in the walkthrough to find its location.

    However, it sounds like you haven't quite reached that part of the game yet, so don't worry about having all the handles until you've made it to that chapter :)

    Connie,

    I absolutely agree! I'm a huge fan of the Mystery Case Files series. If you enjoyed this game and want more, have you tried any of their other titles?

    The prequel to this game is Return to Ravenhearst. It was released in '08, but is absolutely fantastic even by today's standards. Two other really great, spooky Mystery Case Files games are Dire Grove and The 13th Skull. I highly recommend all of them! :D

    Dawn,

    So you have each number correctly positioned upright in the order 5-3-7-4 and they all light up green to show they're correct, however the puzzle still resets? That's very strange, possibly a technical issue :(

    If your solution at the bottom looks the same as in this screenshot you shouldn't have any problems continuing.

    Double check the numbers at R2 and R4 (the labels beside the lights at the bottom) to be sure you have the correct numbers. An upside down 2 looks exactly like a 5 and an upside down 3 is difficult to distinguish from a right-side up 3.

    Reply

    Spiggy,

    If you're doing everything in the order shown in this screenshot, you should be able to take Baby Charles immediately after cutting the blue wire without the camera zooming out. There are no other prerequisites to finishing the puzzle, and if the baby isn't exploding then you're not making a timing or color mistake.

    I did a little research on others having a similar issue and it seems that the blue wire has a much smaller interactive area than the other wires. If you happen click outside that area, it's possible you may be accidentally closing the window, causing you to zoom out and resetting the puzzle.

    Try to cut different sections of the wire as closely inside as you can. Hope that does the trick! :)

    Amanda,
    no I haven't. Ive tried everything. Even entering the code and then backing up out of the room and then reentered the room. The code is not working. I even erased the game and started over and when I got to that point again it didn't do it. I don't get it. maybe I missed a step or something? Help?? I need the bed sheet.

    Reply

    Courtney & Amanda,

    Did you try the solution I mentioned to you earlier? I'll try to explain in more detail.

    When you first view the lock all of the buttons should be colored light gold and raised up. When you press the buttons down, they become darker in shade to indicate that they are pressed.

    The image from the steam on the bathroom mirror shows the lock with all of the buttons and 4 of those buttons are darker in shade than the surrounding circles. These indicate the 4 buttons on the lock in the Cellar that you need to click to push down. Make sure that only those buttons are pushed in and the rest are still gold.

    This screenshot shows the 4 buttons you need to press in any order to open the lock.

    Reply

    Trinn,

    Bah! Thank you!
    Turns out I wasn't quite clicking the blue wire and therefore it just kept zooming out again.
    It was a bit of a facepalm moment, but thank you nonetheless!

    Yay!! I'm glad it worked :)

    Trinn,

    I figured out that somehow I had skipped a step before doing the puzzle, and even though I had it correct, it wouldn't recognize it until I completed the part I missed.

    But now another question: I'm stuck on the Knight puzzle on the chessboard. I've gone around it so many times, and just can't seem to get it. Can anyone post a solution for me? I'm way stuck :(

    Reply

    Dawn,

    Refer to this screenshot for the following solution. Note the columns are numbered and the rows are lettered. Following that example, in that screenshot the token is at the position D4.

    The token can move just like a knight in a game of chess either two spaces horizontally and one space vertically, or two spaces vertically and one space horizontally. You can move the token to the same spot more than once but doing so will toggle the light at that square on or off every time.

    Start by moving the token to space D4 then push the green button to reset the puzzle (the board resets but the token should stay in place at D4)

    Now move the token to the following spaces in this exact order:
    C6, A5, B3, A1, C2, A3, C4, D6, B5, C3, D1, B2, A4, B6, D5, B4, A6, C5, D3, C1, A2, C3, B1, D2, B1, C3, B1.

    There are many possible ways to solve this puzzle, this is just one example. Hope that helps! :)

    Thanks Trinn. Of course, right after I posted my comment I found a video online. Good timing :)

    One final question though: I've finished the game, and according to the walkthrough I've found all the casebook items, but it doesn't seem to be registering one, as the orange tab never goes past 14 of 15. Is this a glitch anyone else is having an issue with?

    Reply

    Dawn,

    I haven't yet heard of any glitch or bug there, it's possible you may just accidentally be skipping one. Double check the Orange Tab section of the walkthrough above the comments for a complete list of all the case book morphing objects.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    General Gameplay

    1. Help! I dont see the answer to my question here.

      • If the answer you're looking for isn't addressed in the FAQ, check the Walkthrough section above the comments for step-by-step instructions to each chapter including Collector's Edition bonus content.

    2. What are morphing object scenes?

      • A morphing object scene is an area in the game where you are required to find a number of morphing objects. These are stationary items that will alternate between two different appearances over time.

      • The remaining number of objects left to be found is tracked by the number inside the open locket at the lower right corner of the screen.

      • After completing each morphing object scene, the power of the locket will alter the scenery, often revealing an item that can be added to your Inventory.

      • Random clicking or mis-clicking too many times will return discovered morphing objects back into the scene, so click carefully!

    3. What are Door Tokens and how do I use them?

      • Door Tokens are items exclusive to the Collector's Edition version of the game.

      • Inside the Tank Room are 5 golden doors. When you use the appropriate key at each door, the Door Tokens will appear from the slots around the lock and can then be collected and added to your Inventory.

      • Each Token shows a smaller image that represents an actual area within the game. Find the matching location, align the Token as closely as you can to the area, then click to activate the Token.

      • After all of the Tokens from a door have been activated, return them to the slots around the lock to open the door.

      • Refer to the Door Tokens section of the Collector's Edition Walkthrough above the comments for the solutions to each door.

    4. What are the numbers at the top of the Case Report tabs?

      • The orange and yellow tabs at the top of the Case Report are exclusive content to the Collector's Edition version of the game.

      • 31 of the pages in the Case Report contain a morphing object either in the text or the image on the page. 16 of the objects go to the Yellow tab when found and 15 go to the Orange tab when found.

      • After all of objects of a tab are found, you can click the tab to start a hidden object scene.

      • Refer to the Case Report section of the Collector's Edition Walkthrough above the comments for the solutions to journal tab and both hidden object scenes.

    5. Why can't I zoom in/click on an area anymore?

      • There are several reasons why an area might be unresponive: the most often cause is because you've completed everything that needs to be done in that area and have no need to look at it anymore.

      • Another common reason is because you have not yet visited a prerequisite area (for example, you cannot click the combination buttons to Charles' diary in the Asylum without having first listened to the recording in the Sewers).

      • Many areas are also unresponsive because they contain one of the four colored handles; before you can access a handle's hidden spot, you must first find the polaroid that "reveals" its location.

      • Skip to the question "Where are all the polaroids required to find the handles?" in the Proposal section of the FAQ if your unresponsive area is one of the handle locations for the complete solution.

    Ravenhearst Manor

    1. How do I get the key to the Lighthouse?

      • Travel to the Lighthouse Entrance, then click the pile of stones beside the path to zoom in.

      • Use the Bottle Opener to remove the Large Rock from the top of the pile, then click the Key and it will drop into the hole.

      • Return when you have the Twine (from the stack of letters at the Cottage Gate) and the Magnet (from the Destroyed Manor morphing object scene).

      • Use the Magnet on the hole of the stones, then attach the Twine to Magnet and use the combined items to retrieve the Key from the hole.

    2. How do I open the Cottage door?

      • Travel to the Swing. Use the Large Rock (from the pile of stones at the Lighthouse Entrance) to break off the Metal Bar from the end of the iron fence.

      • Go to the Cottage Entrance. Click the broken doorknob at the side of the door to zoom in, then use the Metal Bar on the large crack between the door and the wall beside the doorknob to pry the door open.

    3. How do I go down to the Cliff?

      • Go to the Lighthouse Entrance. Click the water pump beside the path to zoom in.

      • Use the Wrench (from the complete morphing object scene at the Stairway Bottom in the lighthouse) to remove the Hose from the tap.

      • Go to the Cottage. Click the spigot sticking out of the lower section of the vine-covered wall to the left of the door to zoom in.

      • Attach the Hose to the tap, then go right over the fence and down to the Cliff.

    4. How do I solve the electric box puzzle at the Lighthouse Gate?

      • First find the combination 5-3-7-4 from the lighthouse keeper's journal inside the chest at the Lighthouse, then you can start the puzzle at the gate.

      • Arrange the symbols on the buttons around the panel so that the numbers travel to the bottom in the correct order of the combination from the lighthouse keeper's note.

      • The numbers need to be the correct value, in the correct order, and positioned upright.

      • To begin with, follow the path of each number to find where it stops at the bottom to determine whether its value should be 5, 3, 7, or 4 in order from left to right.

      • Once you know what each number needs to be when it reaches the end of the track, click the round buttons to either + or - to add or subtract 1 to that number when it passes the button.

      • When you have made the correct value, all you need to do is rotate it so that it is facing the right direction; click the round buttons again to choose between the clockwise or counterclockwise position to rotate it in that direction.

      • Along each number's track are buttons (some are silver, some are hidden under regular buttons) with random effects on the number passing over them by either adding or subtracting from the number or rotating it.

      • If the number at the bottom looks correct but you still get a red light, check for two possible causes: An upside down 2 is identical to the number 5 and an upside down number 3 is identical to the right-side up number 3.

    5. Why can't I dig with the shovel in the Graveyard?

      • Because it's still too dark to see. First, you need to complete the lighthouse override puzzle then return to the closest grave where you should be able to dig without a problem.

    6. How do I solve the Lighthouse override puzzle?

      • Start by going down to the Cliff. Place the Ladder (from the steps of the destroyed Ravenhearst Manor Entrance) over the gap between the ledges of the cliff.

      • Click the face of the rock wall to zoom in. Take the torn piece of paper sticking out of the wall.

      • Go inside the destroyed Ravenhearst Manor. Click the brick lying on the floor to zoom in, then click the brick again to lift it. Attach the torn piece of paper from your inventory to the ripped sheet of paper underneath the brick to complete the page.

      • Note that the word "Last" is underlined and the four numbered arrows at the bottom of the page: Right arrow is 1, Down arrow is 2, Left arrow is 3, Up arrow is 4.

      • Go to the Graveyard. Click the second grave to view Edmond Last's tombstone; at the bottom of the tombstone are five numbers (which are random each game). The numbers on the grave correspond to the numbered directional arrows from the note under the brick.

      • Go to the top of the Lighthouse Tower. Click the override panel to zoom in. Press the lever in the same direction as the numbered arrows in the order found on the tombstone (e.g. if your tombstone number is 12341 you would push the lever Right, Down, Left, Up, Right).

    7. Where are the V Keys and what do I do with them?

      • V Key 1/3 is in the destroyed Ravenhearst Manor. After completing the morphing object scene, click the fireplace to look inside. Remove the loose brick to find the V key.

      • V Key 2/3 is at the Kitchen of the Dalimar House. Click the pie on the windowsill to zoom in. Break the crust of the pie three times to reveal the V Key inside it.

      • V Key 3/3 is in the Cave through the proposal door. To the right of the violinist, near the mouth of the cave, is a pile of dirt and debris. Click the pile to zoom in then use the Pick Axe to clear away the rocks uncovering the V Key.

      • When you have all 3 V Keys, go to the Cottage. Click the lock on the green toolbox to zoom in, then place the V Keys into the circular spaces at the sides of the box.

    8. How do I solve the first part of the V Key puzzle?

      • The first part of the puzzle is solved by clicking the four V keys around the lock to turn them all upright.

      • Clicking the top V rotates the top, right, and bottom keys.

      • Clicking the right V rotates the right and left keys.

      • Clicking the bottom V key rotates the bottom and top keys.

      • Clicking the left key rotates the left and bottom keys.

      • When all of the V Keys are upright, the second part of the puzzle begins.

    9. How do I solve the second part of the V Key puzzle?

      • To solve the second half of the puzzle, move all of the numbered tiles into an empty space.

      • Click a tile to select it; empty spaces with a blue indicate you can move the tile to that area.

      • A tile can only move vertically, horizontally, or diagonally into a space that is an equal distance away as the number shown on the tile.

      • When a tile is moved, it will lock in place; all tiles must be moved for the puzzle to be completed.

    Hospital

    1. How do I get into the Maternity Ward/How do I use the Eyechart in the Hallway/What are the toetags in the Morgue for/How do I solve the receptionist's puzzle?

      • All of these questions are a part of the solution to the same puzzle for the nurse at the Reception Desk.

      • The first step is to travel to the Morgue. Click the toe tags on all 5 of the corpses to view their information; you're looking for 2 things: the Patient Number and the Height (which is random each game).

      • After you've noted the height of all five patients, go to the Hallway. Click the eye chart on the wall to zoom in. Use the Magnifying Glass in your inventory (from the table top in the Lighthouse) to view the tiny letters at the bottom of the chart.

      • Starting with Patient #1, use their height to identify the corresponding letter. If Patient #1 is 6'2" then you would start at the line next to the 6' mark and then go from left to right to the 2nd letter which would be "E".

      • Repeat this process until you have the letter for all 5 patients, which should complete a five letter word (The word is random but common examples are Lefty, Feely, and Flood).

      • Go to the nurse at the Reception desk. Click the board in the center of her torso to zoom in. Press the letters to spell the word you found using the eye chart; if the word is correct, the door to the Maternity Ward will open.

    2. What do I do with the pregnant mannequins' stomachs in the Maternity Ward?

      • The inflatable stomachs are a mini-game puzzle that you solve by enlarging the bellies of all of the women lying on the hospital beds.

      • Starting from the second to last woman on the right, click her belly twice. This will inflate the belly of the woman to her right.

      • Continue moving left and clicking the stomachs of each woman two times to inflate the belly of the woman to her right until you reach the last mannequin.

      • Click her stomach twice to inflate the belly of the mannequin to her right, then click her outstretched hand to inflate her own stomach.

      • When all of the stomachs are inflated, the far left mannequin will open her mouth, revealing the Red Pill.

    3. What do I do with the babies in the crib?

      • Collect all four babies from the crib in the Maternity Ward. Click the gate in the back of the room to look through the bars, then note the numbers carved into the wall: 4-5-9-2.

      • Go to the Hallway, then click the X-Ray machine to zoom in. Drop each of the babies into the input of the machine to view the numbered block hidden inside each baby.

      • The baby wrapped in the blue polka dotted blanket contains the #4 block.

      • The baby wrapped in the green blanket contains the #5 block.

      • The baby wrapped in the multi-colored quilt contains the #9 block.

      • The baby wrapped in the purple blanket contains the #2 block.

      • Go back to the Maternity Ward. Replace the babies back in the crib in the order of the combination found on the wall, 4-5-9-2 from left to right.

    4. Where are the 4 red pills and what do I do with them?

      • All of the Red Pills are found in the areas around the Hospital.

      • Red Pill 1/4 is on top of the X-Ray machine in the Hallway, right next to the slot with the word "Input".

      • Red Pill 2/4 is next to the patient on the operating table in the Surgery room. Click the operating table to zoom in and you will see it just above the mannequin's shoulder.

      • Red Pill 3/4 is in the Morgue at the morphing object scene area. Zoom in to the sink in the back of the room to find the pill beside the bar of soap and the faucet.

      • Red Pill 4/4 is in the mannequin's mouth in the Maternity Ward. Solve the puzzle with the inflated bellies, and the far left mannequin will open her mouth. Click her face to zoom in and take the last pill.

      • When you have collected all 4 of the red pills, go to the Patient Ward. Click the IV drip at the side of the patient's bed to zoom in, then drop all the red pills into the funnel; the patient will raise his arm holding Charles' birth certificate.

    5. Where are the 5 blue pills and what do I do with them?

      • All of the Blue Pills are found in the areas around the Dalimar house.

      • Blue Pill 1/5 is in the medicine cabinet at the Bathroom, behind the pill bottle in the right corner of the bottom shelf.

      • Blue Pill 2/5 is in the Kitchen on the windowsill, just beside the pie.

      • Blue Pill 3/5 is in the closet under the stairs, between the pages of the journal on the floor.

      • Blue Pill 4/5 is in the Foyer of the house, just under the face of the cuckoo clock.

      • Blue Pill 5/5 is outside the Dalimar house, at the bottom right corner on the inside of the speaker box to the right of the gate.

      • When you have collected all 5 of the blue pills, go to the Patient Ward in the hopsital. Click the IV drip at the side of the patient's bed to zoom in, then drop all the blue pills into the funnel.

      • After the patient dies, click the heart monitor to the left of the bed to zoom in. Click the red buttons at the top of the machine to crack the glass case open, revealing the Madman Key inside.

    6. What do I do with Charles Dalimar's birth certificate?

      • Click any of the letters D, N, and A on the certificate to lift the tabs revealing the numbers underneath. Note the three numbers (they are random every game), then go to the Delivery Room.

      • Click the ultrasound machine with the panel containing three sliders under the letters D, N, and A.

      • Moving these sliders also moves the pressure gauges at the side of the patient's bed; dragging the slider to the top sets the gate at 1 and dragging the slider to the bottom sets to the gauge to 12.

      • Set the slider under each letter to match the pressure gauges with the numbers under the D/N/A letter tabs of the birth certificate.

      • If the gauges are set correctly, you can press the green button to deliver the baby.

    7. What do I do with the baby from the machine?

      • Click the robotic baby to open its eyes. The color of its eyes will begin to cycle between green, red, and blue.

      • When the baby's eyes are green, use the Wire Cutters to clip the green wire; when the baby's eyes are red, use the Wire Cutters again to clip the red wire; and finally when the baby's eyes are blue, use the Wire Cutters a third time to clip the blue wire.

        • The blue wire has a smaller interactive area than the other wires; if you click outside the box it may accidentally minimize and reset the puzzle.

      • If you clip a wire when the baby's eyes are a different color or when the eyes are closed, the baby will explode and you will have to push the green button and start again.

      • When the puzzle is solved, take the Baby Charles from the machine.

    Dalimar House

    1. Where are the three Parenting Books and what do I do with them?

      • Parenting Book 1/3 is in the Hallway of the Hospital, on top of the stretcher against the left wall.

      • Parenting Book 2/3 is in the Kitchen of the Dalimar House. Complete the morphing object scene, then take the book inside the opened oven.

      • Get the Feather from the Reception Area of the Hospital by completing the hidden scene in the magazine on the seat of the sofa. Parenting Book 3/3 is in the Bedroom of the Dalimar House. Use the Feather to tickle Abigail's feet, then take the book when it falls from the bed to the floor.

    2. How do I use the clock to complete Momma's chores?

      • In the closet under the stairs is a journal with a list of chores and the time at which they have to be done. To complete the three chores, you need to change the time on the cuckoo clock and then go to the Bedroom to complete the task assigned for that time.

      • If you are having difficulty getting the next chore to start, try these two steps: first return to the Bedroom to make sure you have completed the last chore by collecting -all- of the remains around the bed (10 toenails/5 nose hairs/5 pimples) then go down to the closet under the stairs and open & read the Journal again for the time to the next chore.

    3. How do I clip Momma's toenails?

      • Click the cuckoo clock beside the stairs in the Foyer to zoom in, then drag the hands of the clock to change the time to 4:25. Abigail will shout from upstairs that it's time to clip her toenails.

      • Go upstairs to the Bedroom. Use the Wire Cutters (from the completed morphing object scene in the Hallway of the Hospital) to clip all 10 nails on the toes of both feet. Make sure you collect all 10 of the toenails that drop to the surface of the bed.

      • When you have all 10 toenail clippings, you can return to the closet under the stairs. Check the journal for the time to the next chore. Change the time on the cuckoo clock to 7:40. Abigail will shout from upstairs that it is time to trim her nosehairs.

        • If Abigal does -not- shout and the next chore isn't started, return to the bedroom and make sure you have collected ALL of the toenails as you cannot continue until you have all 10 (it also works if you put the toenails into the jar in the Kitchen).

    4. How do I trim Momma's nose hairs?

      • Return to the Bedroom. Click Abigail's face to zoom in, then use the Wire Cutters (from the completed morphing object scene in the Hallway of the Hospital) to clip the nose hairs sprouting from her nostrils. Collect all 5 trimmed Nose Hairs from her cheeks.

      • When you have all 5 nose hairs, go back to the closet under the stairs. Check the journal again for the last chore. Change the time on the cuckoo clock to 10:00, and Abigal will shout that it's time to pop her pimples.

        • If Abigal does -not- shout and the next chore isn't started, return to the bedroom and make sure you have collected ALL of the nose hairs as you cannot continue until you have all 5 (it also works if you put the nose hairs into the jar in the Kitchen).

    5. How do I pop Momma's pimples?

      • Go to the Bedroom. Click Abigail's face to zoom in, then click all of the pimples around her face to pop them. Pick up all the pimple pus left on her cheeks to collect all 5.

      • If you have not done so yet, go to the Kitchen and place all of the remains from the three chores (The toe nails, the nose hairs, and the pimple pus), then put them into the jar labeled Momma's Leavings. When all of the parts are in the jar, the dumbell in the kitchen should open.

    6. How do I use the boiler to turn on the hot water?

      • First, go to the Cellar and click the boiler to zoom in.

      • Place the Boiler Crank (from the dumbwaiter in the Kitchen) into the space at the front of the boiler beside the right handle.

      • Click each boiler handle -only- one time to turn on the heat.

      • Go to the Bathroom upstairs. Click the sink to zoom in, then turn the left "H" tap to turn on the hot water (do not touch the "C" cold water tap).

      • If the boiler is working properly, the hot water from the sink should steam up the bathroom mirror.

    7. How do I open the lock to the cage in the Cellar?

      • When the steam covers the mirror in the bathroom, the image of a lock with several circles inside will appear.

      • Four of the circles will be slightly darker than the other surrounding circles. Note the position of those darker circles, then go down to the Cellar.

      • Click the padlock on the cage to zoom in; the buttons that are raised up will be light gold in color while buttons that are pressed down will be much darker.

      • Click the 4 buttons on the lock so that the pressed down buttons are in the same position as the dark circles from the steam image on the mirror.

    8. How do I fix the button to the Spank-A-Tronic machine?

      • Go to the Manor Gates in the Ravenhearst Manor area (the first scene at the start of the game). Click the broken intercom in the middle of the left pillar to zoom in.

      • Use the Wire Cutters (from the completed morphing object scene in the Hallway of the Hospital) to cut off the Blue Wire, Green Wire, Yellow Wire, and Red Wire.

      • Go to the Foyer of the Dalimar House. Click the frayed wire on the floor to zoom in. Place the colored wires in the space between the frayed ends of the wires with matching color (Red Wire on top, Yellow Wire second, Green Wire third, Blue Wire on the bottom)

    Asylum

    1. How do I change the card-dealing mannequin's brain from Normal to Lobotomy?

      • Take the Ice Pick from the counter in the lower left corner of the Shock Therapy Room, then go to the Recreation Room.

      • Click the card-dealing mannequin's head to zoom in. Use the Razor (from the Bathroom sink in the Dalimar House) to shave the hair off the man's head.

      • Use the Ice Pick on the hole at the side of the head to remove the square panel, then use the Ice Pick again on the hole in the center of the panel to change the arrow from Normal to Lobotomy setting.

    2. How do I solve the Knight token puzzle on the Office door?

      • Imagine the board where columns are numbered from left to right 1-6 and the rows are lettered from up to down A-D; following that example, in this screenshot the token is at the position D4.

      • The token can move just like a knight in a game of chess: either two spaces horizontally and one space vertically, or two spaces vertically and one space horizontally.

      • You can move the token to the same spot more than once, but doing so will toggle the light at that square on or off every time.

      • Start by moving the token to space D4, then push the green button to reset the puzzle (the board resets but the token should stay in place at D4).

      • Now move the token to the following spaces in this exact order:

        • C6, A5, B3, A1, C2, A3, C4, D6, B5, C3, D1, B2, A4, B6, D5, B4, A6, C5, D3, C1, A2, C3, B1, D2, B1, C3, B1.

      • There are many possible ways to solve this puzzle; this is just one example.

    3. How do I make the Sleeping Potion?

      • The recipe for the Sleeping Potion (found in the file cabinet at the Office) includes 3 ingredients: blood, sweat, and tears.

      • Go to the Surgery in the Hospital. Click the cabinet against the left wall to zoom in. Use the Eyedropper (from the open book on the counter after completing the morphing object scene) on the pool of blood spilled from the beaker.

      • Go to the Laboratory in the Asylum. Use the Dropper of Blood on the beaker on the counter to add the first ingredient to the potion.

      • Go to the Shock Therapy Room in the Asylum. Complete the morphing object scene to electrocute the mannequin, then click his face to zoom in. Use the Eyedropper to take the drops of sweat from his face.

      • Go to the Laboratory in the Asylum. Use the Dropper of Sweat on the beaker on the counter to add the second ingredient to the potion.

      • Go to the Foyer in the Dalimar House. Click the Spank-A-Tronic button on the floor to zoom in, then press the red button to start the machine (if you have not yet fixed the button, refer to the question "How do I fix the button to the Spank-A-Tronic machine?" in the Dalimar House section). Click the boy's face to zoom in and use the Eyedropper to collect the tear from his cheek.

      • Go to the Laboratory in the Asylum. Use the Dropper of Tears on the beaker on the counter to add the third and final ingredient to the potion.

      • Take the completed Sleeping Potion from the stand.

    4. How do I get through the grasping hands in the Cell Block?

      • Go to the Recreation Room in the Asylum. Click the vent at the bottom of the left pillar to zoom in.

      • Use the Ice Pick to remove the grate, then put the Sleeping Potion inside the ventilation duct. This will put all of the prisoners in the Cell Block to sleep.

    5. How do I open the left (Charles Dalimar's) prison cell door on the Roof?

      • Go to the Courtyard of the Asylum. Place the Ladder against the wall under the window, then click the window to look inside the room.

      • Note the 5 numbers on the panel above the door then travel to the Roof as quickly as you can.

      • You now have 60 seconds to open the door before it resets and a new set of 5 numbers is generated. The arrow of the timer points to the green section up to the 30 second mark, then the yellow section until the 45 second mark, and the red section for the last 15 seconds til the 60 second mark.

      • Click the left door to zoom in to the lock, then press the buttons to enter the combination seen above the door in the courtyard cell. When the correct combination is entered, the green light will flash and the door can be opened.

      • If the door does not open, make sure you're using the correct combination, as the solution resets to a new string of random numbers every minute; also, make sure you are viewing at the lock to the correct door (Charles' door is on the left, the unknown prisoner's is on the right).

    6. How do I open the right prison cell door on the Roof?

      • Go to the Surveillance Room in the Asylum. Click the center screen in the top row of monitors to zoom in.

      • Click the button to change the channel to the image showing the door through the Courtyard window with a new set of numbers above it.

      • Again, you have 60 seconds to return to the Roof then enter the combination into the lock on the right door.

      • If the door does not open, make sure you're using the correct combination as the solution resets to a new string of random numbers every minute; also, make sure you are viewing at the lock to the correct door (Charles' door is on the left, the unknown prisoner's is on the right).

    Proposal

    1. Why can't I click on the pile of rocks in the Cave to zoom in?

      • Because the Yellow Handle is hidden in the rocks. Before you can find one of the colored handles, you must first find the polaroid that "reveals" its location or its hidden area will remain unresponsive - please refer to the following question for all polaroid solutions.

    2. Where are all the polaroids required to find the colored handles?

      • The "Something Old" photograph reveals the location of the Red Handle. Go to the outide Entrance of the Asylum. Click the male mannequin sitting on the bench to find the polaroid on his lap.

      • The "Something New" photograph reveals the location of the Green Handle. Go to the Roof of the Asylum. Click the stack of crates by the broken wall to find the polaroid.

      • The "Something Borrowed" photograph reveals the location of the Yellow Handle. Go to the Office in the Asylum. Click the right candlestick on top of the fireplace mantle to lower the bookshelf, revealing a secret one-way mirror. Click the mirror to find the mannequin banging his head against the glass with the polaroid around his neck.

      • The "Something Blue" photograph reveals the location of the Blue Handle. Go to the Prisoner Cell on the roof of the Asylum. Click the polaroid stuck to the back wall of the cell.

    3. Where are all of the colored handles and what do I do with them?

      • The Red Handle is in the Patient Ward in the Hospital. Click the pillow on the bed to look underneath and find the handle.

      • The Green Handle is in the Bathroom in the Dalimar house. Click the pipes underneath the sink to zoom in and find the handle.

      • The Yellow handle is in the Cave in the Proposal area. Click the rocks and debris on the floor of the cave to zoom in, then use the Pick Axe three times to reveal the handle.

      • The Blue Handle is by the Well in the Ravenhearst Manor area. Click the water of the eagle fountain to zoom in and find the handle.

      • Go to the Dock at the Proposal area. Four mannequins stand holding music boxes with a space at the side for each of the handles: The Red Handle goes in the box labeled "Something Old", the Green Handle goes in the box labeled "Something New", the Yellow Handle goes in the box labeled "Something Borrowed", the Blue Handle goes in the box labeled "Something Blue".

    I'm in the asylum where you pour the liquid nitrogen over the manhole. I've tried using the ice pick to break it. Each time I do, my ice pick goes back into inventory. Do you have to hit the manhole cover in a certain area to break it?

    I think there's something buggy with my game. I'm stuck on the morgue/body puzzle in the hospital. I removed the screws from the speaker and now have the code but when I go back to the body cooler I can only enter the first number. The other 3 numbers won't let me enter anything - I click on them and I hear clicking, but there are no numbers for me to rotate. The SKIP button doesn't even appear on the bottom right corner either.

    Is this a problem with my game in particular or am I missing a step?

    Thanks in advance!

    Has anyone solved the "V" puzzle with the numbers at the cottage? I've been able to get down to one number left. That's the only mini game I can't solve.

    Reply

    dee,

    I can't offer you a step-by-step solution, but when I solved it I found that the easiest way to complete the second half of the V Key puzzle was to set the 4's and 1'st first, since they're the trickiest to place. Then I did the 3's and finally the 2's. After that, it's just trial and error.

    Reply

    I did find out how to win the mini game. There may be more then one way but I watch a video and draw a big puzzle and arrows to the solution. It may take a couple times to watch it but made it through.
    And you have to make sure when you're in the office room, to click at the left at the blue light to for a photo of for one the handles. Or otherwise you won't be able to click on the rubble next to the person playing the violin.

    I hope someone can help me. I think I'm stuck and cannot get back to the Dalimar house because I used my ladder elsewhere. I have tried to click and take it back but it won't let me. I also returned to where I first got the ladder thinking maybe I could get another one but nope.

    Hi there, love this site! I'm playing this game and am stuck. I have gotten to the area with the girls floating in water chambers and a gold door with a bird on it. Got the key, used it on the door and the door won't open. I can't go back or forward. I may have done something wrong earlier because I still have a magnifying glass in my inventory along with two coin type things from this gold door. It may be a game glitch but I guess what I'm asking is, is there something I did wrong and do I have to start over? Oh and how creepy are those floating girls??? eeeeeeeekkkkk

    You might want to check the walkthrough above the comments for some help. There is a FAQ section that discusses Door Tokens.

    Reply

    Ok I'm sorry but I'm unable to 'edit' my postings so this may be sooo repetitive. I finally did find the FAQ about door tokens. It did not help since I have two tokens and no where to put them. Each chamber has a key hole. I have tried putting the tokens back in where they came from but in a different order, nope. I tried putting them all over the area that the game lets me zoom in on at each tank, no place will take them. I can't go back still. I'm totally missing something. Sorry I'm being such a dunce!

    Reply

    Hi, Robyn :)

    I'm guessing you mean the very first 2 door tokens you get from the raven door? While the FAQ does give a brief description of what door tokens are and how they work, I'd ask you to look at the Door Token Locations in the Collector's Edition Bonus Content section of the walkthrough. There you will find step-by-step instructions of where to place each door token, as well as a screenshot illustrating its location.

    I know it's frustrating when you're stuck, but don't be too hard on yourself! If you have a look at the older comments, you'll see that your same questions have been asked by dozens of other people (that's why I added them to the walkthrough :P)

    I loved it!
    I love the dark and sinister turn MCF have taken, its about time we had some adult games that didnt consist of running around shooting eachother and require some brainpower.

    It was a little glitchy and a bit unclear at times, but over all was good.

    Just two things I would ask MCF if I could;

    1. The morph scenes are ok, but give us some normal HO scenes too! Morph scenes have their issues but its nice to mix it up at bit.

    2. Did the story writer hand over to his mum to finish it off? The beginning was slow but ok given what it leads to, the middle was delightfully creepy, but then the end seemed rushed and didnt have the creepy atmosphere the rest of it had. The last puzzle was quite a let down too.

    Anyone with me on this?

    Overall, really enjoyed it. Not sure if its better than return to though, just because the end wasn't big enough for me.

    This game is too big for my computer because every time I try to play it freezes :(

    No matter what I try I can't get the red pill from Mannequin "A". I have followed several walk-throughs, including this one, to no avail. I believe I have everything I need at this point in inventory with the exception of this last red pill that will allow me to proceed with the game. I have also read all the comments and can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Can anyone help this 68 year-old grandmother of four?!?! Thank you so much - I really need my sleep.

    Reply

    HI Barbara,

    I'd like to help! Can you be more specific about what you're trying to do to get the fourth red pill? As the walkthrough points out, you need to follow a certain order to get all the bellies inflated on the robots (they're labeled 1-5). If you've completed all the steps up to that point and then follow the directions for the "Maternity Ward" in Chapter Two, then you should be able to get that last red pill.

    Reply

    Thanks for replying Elle. I have followed the steps exactly as outlined in the walkthrough. I have gotten all the bellies inflated, except the very last one, which is what I understand I am not to do, but "a" still won't open her mouth. Her right eye keeps blinking but that is it. Can you think of anything else I need to do? Thanks again.

    Reply

    You do need to inflate 5's belly, but it's not done by clicking the stomach itself. Instead, you click her hand to inflate it, which should also open her mouth.

    What happens when you click her hand?

    Thanks, Trinn, I finally got though this part. Now I have another problem. I'm at the part where I am supposed to use the V keys but I only found 3. Where do I find them? Thanks for all the help!

    Happy to help :) There are only 3 V Keys to find, so you're already set! You'll want to go to the Cottage next. Click the lock on the green toolbox to zoom in, then place the three V Keys into the circular spaces at the sides of the box to start the puzzle.

    I've finished the game and have gotten all the morphing objects in the orange tab and cannot find the 16th object in the yellow tab! On your help, it lists page #39 and the swing in the graveyard. My page #39 has only some artwork that looks half finished and another pic of, who I can only guess is, Charles' father. Is this a glitch? Thanks for any help!
