• Well, I'm stumped.
• twapped! I'm twapped!
• dang.
• i suck at these. i got to the third key. someone help!
• I've got three keys (used two), a battery, a cassette, a url, an empty cd case, a red box, a ring (placed on the red box), and a metal rod (also placed on the red box). Oh and a power cable that I've used. Anybody got any other items? Can you get to look back atthe ceiling at all? Can you look under the bed?
• If you jiggle the curtain a lot another ring falls out and you can open the box. I haven't figured out if you can look at the ceiling or under the bed yet. I'm afraid not. I'm at a total impass. (Does this feel Lynchian to anyone?)
• Definately Lynchian. The box should have been blue, really.
• Oh--where'd you find the battery? That's what i need!
• I hope some food is delivered soon!
• man... I love this style of adventure game, but part of me always says "This is bullshit. Put your foot through the fucking door."
• Or smash the damn window. I did it. It was just finding that second ring which stumped me.
• The battery is down the side of the bed. Face the plain red wall, and click on the little bit of carpet at the end of the bed.
• Cool, I escaped. Thanks dng, a little cooperation goes a long way. (I thought I clicked all the fuck over that carpet.)
• metal rod, where are you?
• I spent an embarrassingly long time trying to puzzle out the air-guitar dance. Liked the little sound that played when you uncovered an item -- very Lynch.
• goetter, I still haven't figured out the air-guitar dance. Argh! I know he's pointing at something, but...
• Here's an oblique hint: steganography. Here's another hint: sometimes the signal is hidden in the noise. Finally: "Fortune strums a mournful tune / For those who see, but click too soon"
• tracicle: you've gotta click on the crosshair where he points. it took me a few clicks to get it right. f8x: if you life up the pillow and look between the matress and the headboard on the bed, you'll find the metal rod.
• or i could be all subtle, like goetter. perhaps that'd be better.
• I thought I'd been doing that, but I must have been just missing it, or something.
• The metal rod eludes me. Can anyone help?
• Got it to work. Nevermind.
• bah everytime i click the crosshairs it puts me back in the room. first, second or third time it shows ..
• Made it - thanks, comrades, for showing me the way!
• petebest, same here.
• re crosshairs: put your cursor over the place and wait for the movie to stop playing (it's being projected on the blank wall). Click where the crosshair was.
• I'm sitting here with my nose to the screen and a Sharpie to mark where the crosshair appears. I am insane.
• o&o, that's awesome.
• Now I've got to fish through 10^4 safe combinations? Great, now I'm really not going to get anything else done today.
• monju_bosatsu: it's 1994. f8xmulder: Yes, I'd rather look like a freak than be defeated by a computer game.
• Ahhh! Spoiler! Well, at least I'm out.
• yay! . . . shit i shoulda done work.
• monju: in case you were wondering, if you go to the url on the piece of paper, it has the number 1994.
• o&o: I'm with you all the way.
• f8xmulder: Let's hold hands in the next room. Hee.
• Did anyone find the CD, or figure out why the cd case was there?
• Red Herring?
• A clue to look in the CD player, maybe. Pixel hunts are fun.
• 1994 won't work for me, and i've visited the link.
