If you have found this walkthrough via google search or via another site then you have  probably not visited my site. 

A lot more very detailed game walkthroughs can be found on my site at:  www.pcgameswalkthroughs.nl

  Chapter 1

  The game starts with a telephone conversation and then you see a letter, read it carefully.  

  Click the letter away and you'll be standing at the edge of the village at the sheriff's office. This sheriff’s office is in the Black Pine Rd.

  Sheriff's Office  

  Go to the gray blind in front of the window, there is a note. Take a picture of it or write it down.  

  The photo is saved in your photo album and you open it by pressing your P-key

Go to the door, make sure you see the indication "Enter" and then click your left mouse button, you will see loading again and when you are inside you will see auto-save at the bottom.  

  Every time you enter a new space, the game makes an auto-save. If your cursor is on the lock of a door you will see "open", but that does not mean that they are open. The doors can then also be locked and you have to find the key for that. You're in the hallway of the sheriff office. You see the door of a closet, the cell and the door of the toilet. Walk to the end of the corridor, turn right and click on the lock of the door ... the door opens  

Enter the office, you have to look in all corners and holes and also open all drawers. Some drawers and doors are locked and you have to come back later for those. 

Immediately to the left of the cupboard is a map of Painscreek and there is also a flashlight on the cupboard.  

Click on the map to view it.  

Click the map away and this is now in the Map-section that you can open with your M-key. Here is an extensive map with the houses and also the byways.  

Also on that cupboard is a flashlight, pick it up and put it in your inventory by pressing F-key.  

You can now use the flashlight by pressing L-key. You also have to look / click on all books. With most books you cannot do anything but some others are diaries or contain clues. Sometimes you can only pick up books and put them back again. In this office there is one book that you can pick up and put down again. A notice board hangs on the wall next to the cupboard. There are several things on the bulletin board ..... watch and read them all, especially the newspaper article about the murder of Vivian Roberts, because this is the murder that you came to investigate here in Painscreek.  

  The newspaper article is stored in the journal section that you open with your J-key  

  Walk to the window side of the office. There is a letter on the left in the windowsill. Make sure you get "Read" on the letter and then click to read the letter.

The letter tells that this sheriff’s office will be closed because of the reduced population of Painscreek and that the sheriff, James Howard, will be stationed on Long Island. This letter is also stored in the journal section, which you can open with your J-key.  In the corner, to the left of the window is a file cabinet with a combination lock at the top.

  You cannot open any of the drawers because the cabinet is locked. On the top right you see the combination lock. 

Move your mouse to the combination lock so that you see "unlock", then click with left and you can now enter the code.

Unfortunately you do not have the code so click this away and turn around to the desk.

  On top of the desk is a newspaper and you see that the upper drawer has a lock. Click on the newspaper and read the article about Scott Brooks.  

Click the newspaper away and this is also saved and you can read it later. Step backwards slightly so that you see the drawers again. The upper drawer is locked but the other drawers can be opened. Go to the left of the office chair and then look under the desk ........ there you see a key lying on the floor. Take the key, maybe you have to crawl to get the key.

  There is a label on the key with "Desk" on it. Press your F-key to store the key in the items inventory.

Back to the desk drawers. Zoom in on the top of the top drawer and put your mouse on the lock. Make sure you read "Unlock" and then press your I-key to open the items inventory. Then select the office key in the items inventory. This key is then on the right. Now click on "USE" and ..... You now use the key to lock the drawer, you hear a "click".  

  You are automatically out of the inventory screen ..... Now make sure you read "Open" on the top drawer and then click to open the drawer.

There is a key and a letter in the drawer. "Read" the letter .... it is the "Vivian Robert's Murder Case Report".  

  This Murder Case Report is also stored in the journal section, so you can always read it again.

Take the key out of the drawer. It is an "Old Gate Key". Press your F-key to store the key in the items inventory.  

  Close the drawer again. The middle drawer is empty, so pull the bottom drawer open and take out the diary.  

  Click your R-key to read the diary. Scroll through the arrows to the following pages. 

When you have finished reading, you click the book away ... It is stored in the "Diary" section of the journal, so you can read it later. Close the drawer or leave it open. For this moment you are ready here, you can still search the bathroom / toilet and the storage closet in the corridor if you want, but that does not matter.  You have to put on your flashlight in the toilet and the closet because it is dark

  So go outside and walk to the fence, the small gate can be opened with the key you just found.

  Zoom in on the small fence door. The fence door is locked. Make sure you see "Unlock" on the lock and then press your I-key to open the items inventory.

  Select the "Old Gate" key and click on "Use" and ..... the gate opens. Now make sure you read "Open" on the door, then click to open the gate and then step through the opened gate into the town of Painscreek.

Go through the gate and follow the road, many houses are boarded up. The other are locked. Immediately across the bridge you can go straight, left or right. The path to the left and to the right is along the river, but the right path is closed with a barrier. Follow the street straight ahead and walk to the square and you will come to "Anne's Courtyard Inn" there is a car parked in front of the door.

You can try to open the doors of the car but that is not possible now.. Walk to the front door of the Inn. Look up at the window ....... On the sign above the window you can read that you are indeed at the front door of "Anne's Courtyard Inn". Look down at the door again .....

  Make sure you read "Enter" on the door and then click and ........ you go inside. LOADING .....

  Anne's Courtyard Inn

  Search everything high and low, click on left control to crawl. You stand in front of a counter, turn to the right and follow the wall to the window. 

To the left of the window there is a dartboard on the wall with the explanation of the count. If you do not know how the counting is going, make a picture of it, you will need it later.  

The photo is saved in your photo inventory that you open by pressing your P-key.  

  Turn around and walk to the chimney. On the table in front of the chimney is a leaflet of the village, read it.  

  Walk to the stairs and then turn right ..... In the hall you will find a closet and the toilet. Take a look in closet and the toilet ..... you will find nothing of interest.  

  Turn around and walk to the bulletin board, which hangs on the wall at reception. Take a look at the papers that are on the bulletin board. 

Walk into the hallway right next to the bulletin board and if you have seen everything there, open the door and go inside.

  You are now behind the counter. Search the bookcase. On the left at the counter is a box with a note and a key on the top shelf.

  Read the note and take the key, take a picture of the note ..... The key is for the address 7 Black Pine Rd and we will go there later.  

  A newspaper is on the right side of the desk. Read this through, you can read it again later. The article reports that the local hospital is closed.  

  Under the newspaper you see a locked locker, no. 201, right next to it other lockers: 202, 203 and 204. These are also locked, on top of the counter is another flashlight. Next to the telephone is the list of people who rent or  have rent a room there. Take a photo of it.  

Turn to the right, a number of bottles and glasses are on a sideboard. In addition, there is a closet, you can open everything there but there is nothing to find. Turn to the right and between the door and the water cooler there is a key rack with 3 keys. Take all 3 keys, they are from rooms 202, 203 and 204.

  You've seen it down here, time to go upstairs. There is nothing to be found in the hall and corridor.

 On the left is room 204. Select the right key in your inventory and open the door. Go inside, on the right is the bathroom and the bed is slightly further. Next to the bed there is a cupboard with a drawer, in it you will find a Bible. You can pick it up and view it. That's all here in this room, go out of the room and opposite you will find room 203. Select the right key again and open this room. There is nothing to be found here either. Go out of the room and right into the hallway, on your left you will find room 202. Make this room also open and here you will find nothing except a Bible. Leave this room, room 201 is opposite. This is locked and you do not have a key. A letter was pushed under the door, a reminder for the rent.

You cannot do anything here anymore, you have 1 clue and that is the key and the address that goes with it is 7 Black Pine Rd. So let's go and find this address. Go back down and leave the Inn through the front door again. You are back outside on the square. It takes some effort to find the address, you have to walk back to the river and then to the left.

  You can walk between the barrier and the quay wall, so do this ...... These houses are also on the Black Pine Road. Walk to the lamppost ..... You are then at the front door of  7 Black Pine Rd. ,  

  Zoom in on the door and "Unlock" the door with the only key you still have .......

  7 Black Pine Road:  

  Go inside, there has been a fire here. On the right you have the kitchen, there is nothing to be found here. The next door is locked.

  Go to the other side of the room and go through the door. There has been a fire here. 

Only a safe that is there is interesting, open the safe. At the bottom you will find a hip flask and at the top a letter, read this. It is a letter to Daniel.

Click the letter away, it is automatically saved in your journal. Go back to the living room and then up the stairs, there is one room here. 

Enter the room and close the door, turn around to the door and see a text on the wall: She is coming for us. 

Turn to the right and you will see a circle on the ground, what you have to do with it I still do not know ... just take a photo of it ...

  In the bookcase you will find a diary of Andrew Reed, read this. He sees a spirit again.  

  Furthermore, nothing can be found here, go downstairs and leave the house. When you come outside, see a female figure standing under the tree on the other side of the river.

  When you turn around she disappears. 

In the Inn you have read about the Painscreek Community Hospital ...... Let's go and explore this hospital ..... Go back to the main road and to the right, back to the square ....

Before the tree on the square you go to the left and follow the road to the hospital. At the gate you get an "Enter" click on the gate and it opens.

  Walk to the door and go inside, in the middle of the desk is the book with the registration of the visitors. Take a photo of it, maybe you will need this later.  

Go behind the counter and search everything,  

in one of the drawers you will find the list of who is in which room.  

  Leave the counter and go to the left, at the end you will find a staircase to upstairs and a little further you find  the toilets.

  In the upper drawer on the right you will find a key of the medical record (medical record room).  

Grab the key, turn around and go to the bulletin board ........  

  On the bulletin board on the right hangs an article how to open a car if you have lost the key and there is also a map of this hospital. Take photos  

  To break open a car door you have to use a "smart jim". The map is now in your map with maps. Turn to the left and look in the box, there you will find the key to the house of Wanda Tyler.  

  Leave the nursing counter and go to the left, the doors on the left are all locked. You can go to the right through the garden doors and look at the garden but it brings you nothing

  Walk through the corridor and you walk against 2 doors: storage (storage) and archive (medical records). Of the latter you have the key so open this door and go inside.  

  You can open the filing cabinets and read a number of files, there is nothing you can use. Exit the room and go to the left into the cafeteria. Search here again everything.

Go out of the cafeteria and walk through the hallway, the doors here are all locked and you do not have a key. At the end you will find the elevator and to the right of it a staircase. The elevator does not work, turn to the left and walk through the corridor. Past the reception, left into the hallway and past the counter of the nurses

Turn around and go back through the side corridor to the left, at the end to the right and you will be back at the stairwell.

  There are more stairwells here but with this you can go even further up and you can get to the roof ... walk up to the roof.  

  Walk to the other side of the roof where you can see that the balustrade is broken.  

  Walk to the broken balustrade and look down and click "EXAMINE" ....
