Now go back to the shelves and click once to zoom in then click right below bottom shelf.

Take the towel and answer the question: "What do I search?" See the contents of the piece of paper? 666? And the number sign behind message in frame? The answer is "666 is the number of the ...beast. Enter "beast" and click the circle next to the square where you entered your answer. It will groan that you are correct.

Now exit that screen and go back to the opening in the wall.

Go check the square and you will find that it is opened. So now, from your inventory, click on the stick, then the rope, then the magnet, in that order.

Go to the screen with the cabinet and click on it to zoom in then click the key and the doors will unlock and open.
-
Get from in there a box of matches, a saw, pliers and a screwdriver.

Now go to the screen with the shelves and zoom in. click on the saw and you will get another piece of wood in your inventory.
-
Now for the tricky part. Go back to the screen with the message "YOU ARE THE NEXT" on the wall. If you click on the "O" in YOU, you will receive another flashing message, saying "FOLLOW ME!!!". Here you must simply follow the footprints around the room, moving left. Go around three FULL times, using that initial screen as your starting point. On the third round, click again on the "O" and as the flashing message appears you will hear a coin drop. It is now in your inventory.
-
Now go to the screen where the grill is and click on it. Once it has zoomed in click on the coin and this will remove the grill part, leaving a screw in your inventory.
-
Click on the wine bottle, then the screw then the pliers. This will remove the cork.
-
After putting the bottle back into inventory click the piece of wood, then the towel then the bottle and then, lastly, the matches. This will create a makeshift torch for you to enter into the opening with. Put it back into inventory.
-
Click the hole then the torch and enter. Happy escaping!!!
(I didn't bother mentioning the screwdriver again once it was found because it doesn't really do anything. What actually happens is once you get it you think you can use it to remove the grill part but it falls inside and disappears. You don't retrieve it therefore it's purpose is useless.)
Well, I got all the stuff
The magnetic rod, the towel, matches, bottle o' booze, saw, pliars, and i somehow used the screwdriver.
and it only took me seventy million attempts to open that forsaken cabinet.
click under the shelves and enter the rather cryptic puzzle answer 'beast'. I guess I didn't even know it was a puzzle until I figured that one out. Confusing. If you look at the frame theres a number and the message on it asks you who the number 666 belongs to. its the number of the beast. phew!
But I'm stuck now. I mean, hello... what am I supposed to do with the supplies I have left?!
HELP!!
Thanks ;D
I'm a little farther, I've managed to get the cabinet open, but now I'm adrift.
Jodi and Fairygdmther, you will need to answer the first riddle to get farther.
You might have to click around and under some stuff to get to it. About the answer to the first riddle...
You already have it in your posession.
I managed to get everything and open the cabinet
and the big box as well. I got the wine bottle open. But after I got into the little box, retrieved the matches and I had made the 'almost torch', it disappeared. Now I cannot light it to get inside the big box because I cannot get it back. What should I do? I've already started over to see if I could do it a different way, but. Hm.
its impossible to finish this game without walk-throughs, how are you gonna come up with following the footprints around 3 times and then click on the "o" again to get a coin? also there's a lot of options(words) with 5 letters related to the riddle that i tried (like demon or devil) and finally gave up to find out that this is really a silly game, (sorry i wrote all these just to say i didnt like it)
I've never written in before, but that game was so bad I just had to say something. I've followed JIG for a long time because most of your picks are excellent choices for the casual gamer. But I think that game just missed the mark by a wide margin. You normally have such good taste and high standards... I would urge you to go a little longer before you post a game, rather than put one out there that is so weak. Think of your reputation!
Keep up the good work, Jay.
P.S. - I'll be glad to give more constructive criticism as to why I thought that game was so bad but I think everyone who plays it will know what I'm talking about.

I tried beast as one of the first attempts, but I had caps lock on... !!!
Also, the three times bit around the room is rather impossible to get. You can't do it once, twice, or even four times -it has to be exactly once.
Also, you have to click inside the cabinet to view an area where you can pick up the matches.
Honestly this game was terrible. Really the puzzles were not that difficult although i was stumped...then i slaped my-self in the face feeling stupid on how easy they actually were. Anyway i thought this was the worst ending in an "escape the room" game. Good waste of ten minutes though. No offence jay :)

I like how every other comment was "I'm bored" or " I don't know what to do". Very good character development, I must say. :3
The ending was the lamest thing I have EVER experienced. It would have been cool if he'd been kept prisoner by some satanic cult or an overly religious cult that believes he is satan, but one of the members felt sorry for him and left him all the supplies to get out, believing that if he wasn't satan, he could escape with God's help. My ending is better. :)
for those who couldn't find the matches:
I just started over and when I did finally open the cabinet, before even getting the saw and stuff on the bottom, I clicked on the very top shelf on the left hand side. It will take u to a new scene showing you the box of matches.
Not a bad game but I won't be advising anyone to play it either.
This game sucked. Not because it was hard, but because there was no conceivable way to figure some of this out without the walkthrough- and I'm a strategy game junkie.
but what was the logic in using a coin to open the vent after using the screwdriver.
and the ending- arrrrgh I could just strangle someone. Come ON, it's like you just got lazy at the end... and created a game that wouldn't be logical to the general public. Sorry, man, but this one was a definite fail.
