I can't even start the game. Clicking like a fiend and nothing is happening

I feel so dumb. I can get him to yawn and, after that, pick up the remote again. I can't get anything else to happen. I read the design notes, which made no sense to me. I watched the video, but didn't see any relationship to the game.

How do I play this?

beats me... apparently one needs to guess how to use the keyboard....

Look for other letters when he yawns

When is the YouTube walkthrough coming along? I'm washed up.​

Mantaraya said...

It's good that you read the design notes.

I did find one of the solutions by systematically trying every key on the keyboard.

I'd love to see a walkthru, but unless they narrate what keystrokes they are making, it won't help.

I opened the closet door per hints, entered stuff on the phone per the design notes, and typed ? as indicated at the end of the phone stuff. Then got the guy in a darkened room at a computer. Typed the letter that is partly visible on his shirt and the whole game fades to white. This doesn't seem right?

That's where I'm stuck too. I figured out the first line, but I have no clue on the rest.

I managed to come to some kind of end of the game. I'm sorry but this game is far-fetched. Still, the developer has done a good job making the game, even if it is pointless.
