How to win? *spoilers* Options

[gear5]

I can't get very far with this game!

First of all you can go forward and pick up a spade. You can then go forward again and you see the entrance to the mansion but it is locked so you take a right. Here you can uncover the entrance to the cellar and down there is half a key. You can also drink some wine (which seemingly does nothing) and you can pick up a torch. However as soon as you leave the cellar your torch goes out!

Is this game some kind of April Fools joke where you cannot complete it? Or am I missing something really obvious?

EDIT: OK I added spoilers. Keep the tips coming people!

[David C]

You CAN complete it... if you try hard enough...

use spoiler tags for spoilers...([spoiler /spoiler])

[JuanBriones]

We know the game is very difficult (like the old adventures games) but I assure you, it can be completed!!!

[Nighthood]

Could someone give some spoilers on where to go after getting the half a key? I've searched EVERY PIXEL! D:

Great game though, from what I've played of it.

That undead dude scares me Why do I find this scary, yet I'm pissing myself laughing through any horror movie

Same here!

I have picked up and tried to use the shovel, half key, and torch on just about everything.

Edit: Nevermind! My office mate just figured it out.

Ah yes I can see the gargoyles at the gate at the very beginning. I think I probably need to do a few more steps before I can break them.
I think these games are a bit too much for my level of logic, lol.

[gear5]

I have just found out where I was going wrong. I didn't realise you could click on operate and then and item which you have and then onto something! doh!

[Paroxysm]

Currently I think I'm trying to find the Will which I assume I'm going to have to read in the chapel (god damn don't try to operate the coffin in the room before)

Kinda wondering if I should try to confront the dog or wether you can do anything with the bookcase or suit of armour in the mansions entrance.

Plus I need to work out how to open the door with the skull knocker.

Pity there's no save because so many things I want to try I'm 90% sure will kill me Drinking the vampire blood?

Plus I need to work out how to open the door with the skull knocker.

To open the door, hit the knocker with the shovel to expose a lock and use the key from the kitchen.

Anybody know what to do in the backyard cemetary? Or how to ring the bell?

ok, i think i'm pretty much at the end, but i can't figure out what to do!

i went to every accessible room before the chapel and got everything i saw. i read the scroll in the chapel, the keyhole appeared, but then no matter what i put in it (dagger, ram & lion keys - i really doubt it's the elephant...), i cause an earthquake and die! i've gone through this several times, and really don't know what i'm missing. heeelp

Alright, you have to use the sword in the keyhole (Cross). It's right out of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Pretty neat.

thanks! that darned sword is used for everything, haha. and the dagger not at all.... definitely a cool reference, though!

[Paroxysm]

Great game. Wish I had worked out how to open the skull door on my own though. The fact that this is a game you make just for fun makes me even more confident in your skills as developers. Kudos!

I also love how you bothered incorporating so many other items into the game. I wish there was a special ending for wearing the hat
