If you have found this walkthrough via google search or via another site then you have probably not visited my site.

Game control and saving

You control the game with the WASD keys and with the mouse you choose the direction. With the options you can adjust the sensitivity of the mouse, which plays better.

With the C-key you can crawl, with Linker Shift you can run but that is not necessary. With the space bar you can jump and interaction is clicking with the left mouse button.

The game does not automatically save, you have to save your game every time you leave the game. But to be able to save, you need to find a Savegame recorder, which is scattered throughout the game

There is only 1 save game and that is overwritten every time. You will find the first Saverecorder in the hallway of the house.

Start a New Game and you will see a film in which you start waking up but you immediately become numb again.

You are awakened by the voice of Jay, you have to escape and to do that you have to solve puzzles. Jay gives you the advice to watch everything and pay attention to everything. When Jay stops talking you have the control back. You see cameras hanging everywhere, they keep an eye on you and also comment on you.

You are in a bedroom now, walk to the door. You have to get close, then you see the word “Door”.

You have to be reasonably close to every thingto see the directions. Click on the door, it is locked. Opening the door is the first goal.

Close to the door you will see a display where you have to enter a code but which one. All the time you hear noises in the house, regularly the house starts shaking and things fall to the ground. Open the cupboard next to the door and look in briefly, you will not find anything important in it.

Go to the right in the direction of the window, on the wall there is a shelf with books.

You cannot do anything with the books but on the left is a key, take this key.
