House of the Dead

#1 Post by terri »

I think this is a challenging game(WOS). Though people may not think so, since at the beginning there is a decision about what objects to take with you as you can't go back. This choice of objects continues throughout the game.

I have chosen to take the jemmy, match, ignition keys, battery, trowel, and brass key (at least I think I did - I've got so many saved games, it's confusing to follow my own notes).

Anyway, does anyone want to play along?

Mmmmm...

What a difficult choice of objects - need the jemmy for the chest.
the ignition keys for the car - although I got burnt to a crisp - couldn't find the correct verb/noun input for the fire extinguisher.

Can't row the boat - only on oar. The lever in the ruins puts on the lights?... where?

Strange...

Keep looking. There is a fire extinguisher in the car I think, if you can open the chest.

Playing games sure beats pulling weeds out of a gravel driveway.

But yes, I do have a life - an going to a dinner prepared by a chef.

I have made a bit more progress in this game. It is very challenging. And interesting too.

Doreen, are you still playing it?
