Yeah, it's pretty frustrating at times.

It kinda reminds me of those old DOS-based ASCII games where you could see something on screen, but typing "look wall" yielded a "You see nothing out of the ordinary."

Trevor, care to shed some light? I can't quite figure it out. It appears that there are 2 items I can't find and they must be pretty important.

Maybe just a hint?

That was indeed frustrating. Some of those items are way too hard to find, especially around the bed. I was hoping for a better ending too.

Hmm... I have 3 keys, a ring, a battery, a cassette, a box, a CD case, a power cord and a piece of paper with a url.

Seems one of the keys fits the door but the knob won't turn.

Rumor has it that the extra item gets used in the next room (when it becomes available).

Finally I was able to get out of there. It was tough, though. Very well thought out game. A bit frustrating to say the least.

Is there a strange way of picking up what is in the safe?
As soon as I click on it, I find my self looking at the CD player and having not picked up anything.

If anyone else is looking for the other bits in the room PM me.

Nope. I picked up the object in the safe by clicking on it.

I have no idea where the safe is... unless it's a red box.

You need to open the box before you can find the safe

The Safe is behind the spoon and we all know you can't bend the spoon cause there is no spoon.
