Hey all.
Just a quick question.
Whenever I try to go downstairs from the attic, Carnby stops, pivettes and moves back up.
I searched several walkthroughs, but it doesn't look like i've missed anything.
Can anyone help?

Did you find lamp, rifle, rug and two books? If I remember correctly one of the books is difficult to find.

One of the books is at the bookshelf and the other one is in the closet.

What should I do after I got the hook? I can only use it to open up couple of doors with weird mechanism.

Click spoiler to see hint.

The second book/document is either inside or behind the piano.

Sheesh.
Increase the cycles. The readme explains how.

You know when you load the game up and it asks you to "select the items represented on page..XXX" does this mean anything?

well i searched around the internet for the game manual, and it only has 15 pages.. and none of them have items represented on them.

I can play the game of course, because it lets you select any old items and then carrys on.. but i just wanted to know what book this page XXX is supposed to be in and if i can get a copy from anywhere and if it would actually do anything good if i chose the right items>?>?

anybody know?

Wow! This one deserves to be a classic up there with ZZT and Sonic!

The review was right on - for heaven's sake *don't* play this game in the dark (or worse, late at night like me!) unless you want to be in a cold sweat and have trouble sleeping. Heck, this game spooked me when I was playing with all the lights -on- at 3:00 PM!
Storyline progressed very well as you read the various notes and books left strewn about, and a lot of the ways to get around traps were very logical if you thought about it. Like in the one hallway - cover the angry trapper with an -indian- blanket, then shoot the picture of the indian with what? An arrow!

Scenery is great, animation is crude by today's standards but astonishing for stuff made back then. Not the programmers fault that their computers could only do so much.

Finally the ending itself is worthy of being in a good Goosebumps book. All in all a great brain teaser and spook-tacular game!

Dark-Star

You're thinking of "Are You Afraid of the Dark"

I tried running the game with the Dos-Box under XP and it worked pretty well. Well, I tried to run the game under DOS in a win98 and it was working properly, until the end of the introduction, when the game just stopped and returned to DOS.
If someone could tell me what's going on and how I fix it, I would be very happy.

could be a soundcard issue. Try setting up for no sound and give it a go. If it works, then try different sound settings.
