1) The centre piece of wood changes direction when clicked twice. You need to work out a couple of moves for it. Examine the box carefully for something else that might help you. 2) Yes, after you've opened the box.  3) I can't recall, where did you find this photo?

I found it in a secret hiding place under the maid's nightstand. It s suppose to be the photo of the burial of Catherine or a body in the garden. James (her husband) is suppose to be burying her? As for examining the box, it's a bit difficult b/c of the graphics not being very good on my PC and the cursor being very uncooperative. You can only imagine my dismay when I had to dial a number for the phone Is it possible to be a teeeeeny bit more specific or will that spoil it for me? BTW sorry for the overuse of spoiler tabs. Am not sure if I'm using them correctly and I'd hate to spoil the game for someone who's looking for only a hint

Ah, that photo. No, that's the important one, and the only one in that location. For the box: You should see a couple of knobs on the walls of the box. Those need to be pressed in a combination along with the centre wood. There are just four moves in the combination. Here's the solution if you need it: Turn the piece of wood towards the right (/) and then click on the knob at right wall of the box. Turn the piece of wood to the left (\) and then click on the knob on the left wall of the box. Click the bottom wood to see the secret compartment. Spoiler tabs are always good for info relating to crucial points in the game.

Telling me about the knobs REALLLLY helped thank you I think that for this puzzle, I would've needed the spoiler  cos it was hard for me to place the cursor on the side buttons Thanks for that  I'm heading for the chapel  Umm... I think But am going to wait till I'm home alone This game is WAY too much fun and WAAAAY to scary to be interrupted by a knock on the door (happened already, almost had a heart attack) or someone needing to know where his/her left shoe is

Glad that hint helped you.  This is a really eerie game, I'm glad you're enjoying it!

It's 1 pm Got into the chapel and did the nail thing and moved the big piece of metal from the floor then wandered about for aloooong time. Went back to crypt and found the Went back to my room and couldn't work cos "I want to throw the typewriter against the wall I can't lie down cos "I'm too nervous" Looked around the grounds for the burial place but I "don't know where to dig" Got into the shed and checked out the bike with "something attached to it" Got into the tool box and got the wire cutter, screw driver, and a crowbar. I'm letting "Jerry deal with the car" Now am stuck again Could use a hint on how to move ahead and where can I find the "stuff " that I'm suppose to use when I cook (have the berries)

Did you examine everything closely in the chapel's secret room? After that, call Jerry. If you've found & read everything in that room, you should move forward to 3pm. Then check the mailbox at the gate. You're not quite ready to "cook" yet.

WHAT? There is a secret room? Does this require me hitting "the nail on the head" ? Does this require a close up of an object cos if it does then I'll need a hint I checked the mailbox earlier and found the translation from Barbara.... is that what I needed to find in the mailbox?

Yes, you'll need to fiddle with the cross on the wall first. No close-up, I don't think. The mailbox is in the next timeframe. Focus on finding the secret room first, then calling Jerry afterwards.

 You'll only move to 3pm. Not dark yet. You've got your little portable stove, yes?  You'll only need something very basic to pop on top of that... a lid, maybe...

I finished it! I actually went to Mags WT after I finished both games to see what I missed. I missed calling the bank about the husband. When I tried to talk to them after talking about the doctor, they blew me off Thanks for all of your help!  It was a sad story, though
