Walk to the south and look to the right of the lamp post. There’s something but you don’t know what. Walk over there to go to the side of the house. After a moment, a note falls out of the tree. Pick up the NOTE and look at the note in your inventory. It’s a note from your brother telling you where the key is hidden. Use the pile of wood under the awning to find the KEY.

Walk to the south, then north again to the front door and use the key on the door. Once inside, you can’t get out anymore. Look around. Take the BOOTS and the broken FISHING POLE. Use the blood to notice it’s still wet. Walk to the south to see that the door to the living room was blocked by something black and that’s gone now. Walk to the right to the bedroom. Use the mirror to take a closer look at the dresser and when you use the top drawer you take a black SHIRT out. Use the TV several times to find the power cord broken and you can’t chew through the cable. Use the bedside cabinet to find some rounds of AMMO inside.

Walk north into the closet and find more blood. Look at the useless junk to find a BOW. Pick it up and look at the wall on the right side. It’s out of place. Walk south to leave the closet and to the left to return to the hall. Walk to the north towards the living room but walk to the right into the bathroom. Walk to the left to see more blood and somthing strange happening. On the toilet is a piece of PAPER. Pick it up and look at it in your inventory. Again a letter from your brother. Under the mirror on the left is a SHARD OF GLASS. Pick it up.

Walk to the right, then to the south to return to the hall. Walk to the north into the living room. Look at the couch to find something stuck between the cushions, then use the couch to get the PAPER out. Look at the paper in your inventory. Another one from your brother. Use the bookcase on the right to walk towards it. When you have a closer look at the bookcase you can see that there are feathers in the chalice. Take the FEATHERS out. Leave the bookcase and walk to the right into the kitchen. Use the sink left of the microwave to find a sharp KNIFE. Walk to the lower right to enter the dining room.

Leave the cabinet and walk to the south to leave the dining room. Walk to the left to goto the living room. Walk south into the corridor and south again to the other part. Walk to the right to return to the bedroom and use your knife on the TV to repair the cable. Use the TV again to hear a sound coming from the closet. Walk to the north to enter the closet and find the wall the was odd earlier, now completely gone. Use the hole to go through. You’ve found your brother. Talk to him about everything to learn about the order. After the conversation you wake up in an alley and your brother is gone. On the ground is another PAPER. Pick it up and read it in your inventory. Again from your brother.

Walk north into the ruins. next to the entrance is a pile of rubble. Use the pile to get a roll of DUCT TAPE. Look at the occult symbol on the far right. That’s familiar! To the right of the symbol is a door. Use the door to have a closer look at it. Look at the door to realsie there’s no handle and no hinges. Use the aegis from your inventory on the door and it will slide open. Walk to the right to enter the passage. Walk further north into the caverns. Walk through the cave to the right until you reach a monster. In your inventory, use the broken glass with the broken fishing pole to give it a spearhead. Fix the glass with the duct tape. Use the feather on the pole to create an arrow. Use the arrow with the bow and use the combination on the monster to kill it.

Walk to the right and down the stairs towards the light. When you’ve reached the stone pathway below, walk to the right. Something strange happens. Walk further to the right and down the stairs. Go further right through the doorway and cross the upper bridge over the lava. Below you see your brother so you need to get to the lower bridge. Walk further to the right and use the elevator in the back to reach the lower level. Once in the elevator shaft ‘walk’ further down the shaft until the power suddenly fails.

On the platform on the left take the RAGS. Use the rags on the torch to light the rags and then use the flaming rags quickly on the unlit torch on the left. Below the torch you can now see a lever. Pull the lever to reveal a toolbox. The box has a lock on it. Use the ground of the cave to pick up a ROCK and use the rock on the lock of the toolbox to break it. Use the toolbox again and take the SCREWDRIVER out. Use the screwdriver on the power box on the right to open it. Look at the power box to see one of the circuit breakers has flipped. Use the power box to switch it back again and you’re back in business.

‘Walk’ further down the haft until you reach the bottom. There’s a lot of rubble and a corpse. Look at the corpse and use the corpse to notice the hood. Use the corpse again to take the HOOD off.

On the ground is another piece of PAPER. Pick it up and look at it in your inventory. Again it’s from your brother. Walk to the left across the bridge and south to the elevator. Use the elevator and ‘walk’ to the upper floor. Walk through the opening on the right. There’s a Demelza so you change into that costume and walk past the other man.

Walk down the stairs and through the doorway into the street again. Walk to the left to reach the pool you saw from the window. Look at the barred window to find a jail cell behind it. Look through to the back of the cell to find someone you believe is Mike. You need to find the key.

Walk south into the pool and south through the water. When you can’t go further, look at the rocks on the right to see something shiny. Try to take it but it’s out of reach. Leave the rocks for now and walk north twice back towards the prison house and further towards the cliff dwellings. Walk north at the nase of the tower and walk through the doorway. There’s a guard sleeping. Walk through the doorway on the north and talk to the guard. You can learn more about the Key of Wisdom and about Mike. Now you know he’s in that building.

Walk to the right to leave the cell and walk north back to the dwellings. Walk north again and through the doorway to find the guard still sleeping. Walk through the doorway on the north and talk to the food guard again. Talk about the prisoner at the pool. So Mike must be at the dig site. Walk up the plank again and at the top turn to the left.

Walk up the stairs through the hole in the ceiling. You’re in the dining room. Talk to the fat Demelza at the table. It’s the Arch Lord. He wants his favorite meal and you need to prepare it for him. Learn about the kitchen, the cook and the recipe book. Talk some more and learn that the portcullis is the gate to the dig site. But you need to cook first. Walk to the south and down the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs walk down the plank again to return to ground level.
