Title: Faulty Matthew Detector!
Post by: on Wed 22/10/2003 19:14:39
Hey can anyone help? My matthew detector doesn't seem to function properly. I have combined the stick, cord, bear and salt. It points down wherever I am in the game (not just kitchen/basement) sounds as though it should point somwhere from descriptioons I've read in these forums. Any ideas? Also recommendations of other games I should try aftere this one! If I ever manage to complete that is!

Thanks

Relised in review that this is not clear, I have been 'useing' the stick thing in the basement where the chains are, by clicking on the floor. I read in another topin that I should be able to interact with a part of the floor but this does not seem to work.

THansk again

Next time please put the name of the game in the subject, that game is "5 Days a Stranger".

Spoiler

Have you waved the detector in Matthew's bedroom before using it? otherwise it won't work.

bit confused where you are up to but

Spoiler
have you used pick axe in kitchen to find basement (the kitchen is NOT the basement)- if you have then use matthew detector in secret room it will indicate towards the exact area of floor you need to be standing on. Once it is found, the area of floor in question can be interacted with....it took me a lot of trying to find the exact spot.
