I Remain
It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine... wait, no I don't! As one of the last survivors of a zombie apocalypse, you've managed to hole up inside an abandoned house. But without any supplies, your safe haven is more of a prison. You'll need to find a means of escaping, and it'll take all your point-and-click, combining skills in this horror adventure to do it.

I've got to say, these are some of the most unmotivated zombies ever. "Oh, he's on top of the car. I guess we could, you know, climb on top of the car too, and eat him, but nah. Too much effort. I'll just stand here and gently wave my hands in the air. That should scare him."
I normally get scared at these sorts of games but once I realised the zombies don't actually do anything I was fine.
Was simple enough to complete anyway.
how do I use the socket next to the fireplace? it asks me "where do i need power that's within reach of this socket"...
Cabbit:
You need to find a use for the power before you can plug anything in. If you need a spoiler:
Have you been to the attic yet?
You need to click on the bars on the window before you can plug anything in.
alaira:
i nailed the boards over the window but i can't get to the attic because i think I need a hook. I have the curtain rod but I think I need something to attach it to.
Cabbit:
Have you been in the master bedroom(not the guest bedroom)? There's an item there you need, which you can combine with the rod. If you haven't gotten the key for that yet:
Have you been in the basement? Killed the zombie?
Use the fuse in the fusebox to kill the zombie, then loot his body to get the key to the master bedroom.
I can't seem to find the fuse...
how do I get whatever is in the drain? And how do I drain the basement?
alaira:
I've done all that, it still won't let me plug anything into the socket. What next?
Wow...I like this game. It's like mini-resident evil before it's becoming too 'action'.
How exactly do you kill the zombie in the basement by inserting the fuse? I placed it and that lazy excuse for a zombie is still moaning.
8-fold:
There are 2 different spaces for the fuse...
For the basement power, put the fuse in the bottom space in the fuse box.
8-fold
Make sure you clip the fuse into the right space. There are more than one. When you get it right you'll know
I'm still trying to figure out how to get the shiney thing out of the pipe in the bathroom.
I've filled the pipe with water but that doesn't do it. I released the water with valve in the basement but that didn't help either.
Not bad...not great, but not bad. I'm pretty easy to please with escape games - I don't need a whole lot of plot, just gimme a room or house and let me figure it out. Sometimes I like puzzles, but good old fashioned "find object A and use with object B" works for me, too! There were a few instances where I thought it was a bit of a logical leap to figure out what the "object B" in that equation was supposed to be, but I only had to use hints twice to beat the whole thing, and I finished in under 45 minutes, with interruptions, so that's not too bad. Good diversion!

I Remain Walkthrough
I wrote a walkthrough for this. I wrote it so that at each point I list all the items you can have at that point and then go on to list what can be done to further your position with just those items. (So if you don't have everything, perhaps go explore some more - if you do, consider what you can do with what you have). I don't put a lot of details in about what is found exactly where, but this should, I hope, allow you to solve it yourself with minimum intervention. (There's a lot of nested spoiler tags).
Start
Do you have?
-
Hammer
-
Nails
Then:
You will need to board up the door before you can do anything else.
Combine the hammer and nails
Use the combined items on the door.
Do you have?
-
Magnet
-
Curtain
-
Clamp
-
Curtain rod
-
Basement key
Now do you have?
-
Nails
You can't go far into the basement, but you can open up the door.
Above the basement stairs
Then:
Try to get through the hallway now.
Board up that window!
Combine the hammer and nails again.
Click on the window with the hammer and nails.
Do you have?
-
Pot
-
Electrical cord
-
Sheet
-
Fuse
Then:
You want to be able to go downstairs.
Kill the zombie that's standing there.
Take a look at that fuse-box.
Give power to the basement.
Put the fuse in the bottom slot.
And take it out again!
Do you have?
-
Bedroom key
-
Water
Fill your pot.
From the water in the basement.
-
Tarp
Under the basement stairs
And now do you have?
-
Bedsheet
-
Drill
-
Hook
Then:
Take a look at what's in the hallway.
There's something on the roof.
Combine the hook and rod.
And then:
You need light up here.
Don't think candles, tinderboxes, or get hung up on that stupid unmovable lamp.
Don't even think "light". Think "power".
There were two empty spots in that fusebox.
Move the fuse from the basement to the empty (attic) slot.
Then:
You need to get through that window.
I wonder if the drill would help?
That wall is a little weak.
Use the hammer on the wall.
But the fireplace is still going.
Did you find the pipe that is responsible for that?
Stop the propane from getting to the fireplace.
Use the clamp.
Okay, let's attack those bars now.
We need power up here.
Feed the cord through the hole in the attic.
Plug it in.
Use the drill on the bars.
Now, to get down there....
Tie all your sheets together.
Do you have?
-
Boots
-
Sump pump parts
-
Float
-
Desk key
Now do you have?
Pen and paper
In the desk drawer
Then:
There's something in that pipe in the bathroom.
Shiny things are often...
Metal! And metal things are often...
Magnetic!
But you want to be able to get your magnet back.
Perhaps we can use this pipe against itself.
Attach the magnet to the float.
Pour your water down the pipe.
Do you have?
-
Van key
Now do you have?
-
Gloves
In the van. Where you couldn't get before.
Glove compartment
Then:
Let's get rid of this water.
Put power back to the basement.
From the fusebox.
Fix the pump.
Use the gloves on the pump.
Now:
That wire box in the basement.
Use the drill.
Do you have?
-
Binoculars
-
Extra fuse (now that you don't need it.)
Then:
Have you any idea where that combination code is?
You can see it from the van.
I know, there should be plenty of light, that lamp is shining right on it! Well, forget the lamp, you really can't move it.
There's another source of light nearby.
In the van.
Turn on the headlights.
Use the pen and paper on the code.
Do you have?
-
Spark plugs
-
Money
-
Bandages
Then:
Let's get out of here.
Put the plugs in the van.
And the key in the ignition.
I'm out! I got stuck at several places.. such as:
for the drill
i clicked on the drill and then on the wall socket at first. no response. took me a while to realize that i should click on the drill then the cabinet.
fuse box
I didn't know there're two places to put the fuse into in the fuse box!
Shucks, looks like I should have waited five more minutes for Parmesian's much-better-than-Dora's walkthrough. Thanks, Parmesian! :)
I like both walkthroughs... though neither seem to say where the propane pipe is. I'm stumped.
Well... I finally got through it with the help of Dora's walkthrough. Overall, I like the graphics and the story was 'okay'. As escape games go, this was about as logical (and I use the term exceedingly loosely) as any I've played. A bit more atmosphere, and a lot less back and forth movement would have been a plus.
Hope you feel better soon Dora!
@joye - I think the zombies were doing the "Wave Your Hands in the Air Like You Just Don't Care!" routine.
Nevermind... found it.
Not sure I've ever seen a
van where the spark plugs can be installed from the drivers seat....
I thought this was a lot of fun. My favorite escapes are the ones where you find, combine, and use items, especially if they make sense. As for storyline, I don't care if there are zombies or ghosts or cute little cartoon animals.
I liked Parmeisan's "do you have these items" walkthrough, and I used it several times to double-check my progress. I did need Dora's full walkthrough to find
the fuse in the guest bedroom closet.
Logic was sometimes stretched a little thin, but otherwise this was an enjoyable half-hour (okay ... 47 minutes).
Was very confused about the
headlights.
You shouldn't be able to turn them on like that!
My only real complaint about this game was it takes sooo long to switch between areas, and the arrows were in non-obvious locations. I often ended up switching rooms or views, instead of looking at something.
I think in larger point-and-click games like this, once you visit a major area you should be able to jump back there with a single click, like Hanamushi: Flower Insects. It's annoying when, say, you are
in the front of the van, and need to get to the basement.
It's was 9 or 10 clicks to switch between those areas, with 2 fade animations. And that movement was made at least a couple of times, even if you knew exactly where to go. More than that if you were still searching around.
Overall it was pretty good, though.
Finnaly, a zombie that doesn't scare the living daylights out of me.
Awww, the zombies don't scare the daylights out of me... what's the fun in that? They are definitely canonical "slow zombies."
Except the ridiculous location and use of the last item, the puzzles were pretty darn cool and actually made some sense. I agree, the dragging (and unnecessary) transition screens made all the traveling a chore.
Cool game, but with on question: Why bother to take the money and bandages at the end of the game since they never get used?
I've played much better, but all the same, it was all right, i must agree with joye though i mean, the zombies didnt hardly try to get you, but oh wel! :D
Quite awful, for one, those transition sequences took up half my time playing, there's really no need for them. Also, unrealistic interactions - you say that drawer/glovebox is locked? I use my hammer, not a key. Also, I can remember 6 digits, having to write them down is idiotic. In addition, I would just whack that zombie in the basement. P.S. - you don't need 2 fuses, you can just switch one to wherever needed.
The extra fuse is too little too late. By that point I was already frustrated with the switching and the transition screens got a bit annoying too. The dripping in the bathroom wasn't stopped by muting the game (took me a while to figure out what that noise was)
Other than those points, a decent game
has anyone found a use for the bandages and money? seems a bit random...
Boy, I sure am glad this van has the engine located next to the driver's seat! Makes installing spark plugs super easy.
Sure does get toasty when I'm driving, though…
Also: I can remember three two-digit numbers. I don't need to write them down, in-game or out-of-game.
I'm easy to please with point & clicks, but 2 out of 10! :( Are these zombies too lazy to come murder the computer player who's not even scared of a jump scare anymore? Really...The item needs are stupid AT BEST! I need to kill zombies? I pull my hammer. You'd think anyone who'd survived to get themselves locked IN this house would be smart enough to at least get a gun during the apocalypse! Don't waste your time.
Where are the sump pump parts!!!???
I need help on the part where you plug in the extension cord. It told me to do it on the walkthrough but it won't let me, what do i do? Please someone help me.
I sincerely found this game tedious and unentertaining with all the backtracking and the slow transitions. I did like the art style and the plot was dandy for a room escape, but on a con it became apparent that the zombies were nothing to fear very early in the game.
On a different note,
I had some troubles with the attic. I couldn't see anything. I thought maybe it was one of *those* games where you can reset the clock on your computer to effect… heh. Any way, I stopped playing after I climbed down to the van, it was just too wishy washy
As an FYI, many years ago a friend drove a Dodge van that had the engine inside the passenger compartment between the front seats with a plastic cover on it. It was convenient for breakdowns in the winter or inclement weather!
I cant extinguish the fireplace!!! it wont let me put the extension cord down the chimney either. HELP!!!!!
ok this is starting to make me mad. I'm trying to combine the sheets and hook and it wont let me, any suggestions?
Miller:
You're missing a blanket/tarp
i have to say that was the most annoying point click adventure EVER! Seriously it was all over the place... also the
fuse box was the most annoying thing switching from basement to loft!! and the decide to give you both fuses near the end when you flood the place "sigh" just didnt like the fact i had to go up and down all over the place when if i was in a real zombie invasion i would just give up now and then! i mean the last thing i would do is put a magnet down a drain lol
there is one thing this game managed to do..and that made me tired again because i woke up at 4oclock in the morning and could not sleep! now playing this game all i want to do is sleep lol
the sump pump isnt behind the seat in the car. im confused
I like:
The brother's reaction to being attacked by zombies. "I was panicked, so I threw all my bandages and spark plugs in the safe, because I knew I was going to become a dangerous monster, and you definitely don't want those guys having access to bandages, and then I wrote a note about it and stuck it in my pocket."
I completed the game but what were the
Bandages and Money For?
and also did I need all of the
Fuses?
Although this game was very back and forth all the time, i enjoyed it, it was simple and quite fun, a game for a spare 5-10 mins though it could of used some more scares ;)
'The Fog Fall' is infinitely better
I must say to everybody who complain abput the fuses... wake up
think it would really happen you scavenge the area and find a house like this. (and no every gun who lied anywhere was already picked up...)
and then you do exactly the same as in the game... and than you complain by who that you couldnt find the fuse earlier??? or when you couldnt find a weapon and a zombie is eating you.... do you complain by god that you couldnt find a minigun (in you neighborhood)
COME ON i dont know if he/she wanted to do it a bit real but for me i must say be happy you had all the stuff in his home otherwise how would you survive????
