Dammit! The games too fucking creepy for me, got to the door where you hear the whispering on the other side and turned it off!

It's a shame because the graphics are great and the environmental interaction is refreshing.

I completed FEAR, Condemned and Call of Cthulu but the feeling of helplessness in this and complete lack of character interaction tips it over the edge for me. I play games to relieve stress, not create it!


Real shame man your missing a great game. I am really surprised how fun this game is. I wasn't expecting something so refreshing from a small dev. Two thumbs up!


So, as its a great game and its a small dev. this deserves to be bought - after all they need our cash but cash cow devs dont, support the little guys Smile

I completed the game yesterday, took me about 6-7hrs. I'm very excited about Episode 2.
But one thing I didnt understand is -spoilers- how the fuck does mixing Sodium and Chloride (NaCl) make a fucking bomb? Its just salt or did I oversee something? I had to use trial&error to solve that (last) puzzle.

You're right. I completed it last night and placed an order for the game straight after. Its only £10 in the UK - bargain for such a good game!!!

If you remember the explosives book which told you how to make the fuse etc from earlier in the game, there is a recipe at the back of the book which describes the bomb you make at the end.

Yea but isn't it Red Phorphorous and Barium? I already uninstalled the game but afaik the book didn't say anything about Sodium chloride (only Sodium sulfide).
Nevermind, must've overseen it.

I'm stuck. Any tips on where the string is for my fuse? I have the other thing, and I know what to do. I just don't have any string.

Just a little clue if you could, I hate asking, but i've wandered around and around and around and i'm not seeing it.

Amazing game. This is what i'd call next gen gameplay.

If you remember the way to the electric fence, you come in a big door and then have to go through a normal door on the right.
Before you go through that door on the right, there is shelves on the left. One box contains string.


Thanks for the reply. I'll be sure to double check that area.

Yeah i'm playing it again now, in the daytime though!

How do you get the string out of the box, it won't let me, I can examine the box but not manipulate it in any way.

He should automatically take the string after left clicking the box.
If he doesn't it could be a bug, I encountered 2 bugs (lever stuck, plug not working) during my journey through he mineshafts and the only way to fix them is loading a previously saved game.

Have you already read the explosives book and know that you need string in this game?

The first time you find the box of string he doesn't do anything with it. Its only when you find out you need some that you can take some out of the box.

I got past opening the gate with the morse code, now there are some dogs everywhere I don't know if I should hide from them or kill them. I killed one by hitting a canister with my pickaxe and throwing it on the dog but got lucky. Hitting the dog with the pickaxe seem to knock them down but they get up pretty fast and kill me before I can do anything. Any better solution?

Throw the canister on the dog. Do this 6 times then it dies. You need some timing, or else it will get away. Razz

*SPOILER (Ventus help)*
You need both key and gaz to get the mining machine started. They are both in the storage room if I remember correctly. To go there you must go in the cave where there is a broken ladder and use it to climb through the hole.
*END SPOILER*

I just finished the game, very impressed! A bit longer than I tough it would be. Waiting for episode 2! I hope we will have guns to kill those *spoiler* mutants we see at the end! Razz

Started playing this at 3pm today and the credits were rolling by 9:30pm. Didnt expect to play it as much as I did at all! It was only supposed to be quick go but thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. Nice physics interaction which brought back a lot of HL2 memories and the game also reminded me a lot of Call of Cthulu. Can't wait for the continuation.
