Title: Shemwood Plains
Post by: JG0630 on Wed 22/06/2005 21:09:03
I download it and when I click on winsetup.exe I get the error message :  Error: Unable to launch 'demons.exe'.  Make sure the filename is in the same directory as this Setup program. 

Any suggestions??

Yeah, that's my fault. I was going through name changes but I shouldn't have changed the .exe name, but I think all you need to do is rename the exe to demons, and winsetup will run.

I'm stuck
Spoiler
I have hammer, nails, crowbar, card, bottle, cup, adhesive, 3sticks, coins.  I made the key and got into the bathroom but didn't find anything.  I've been in almost every room.  Is there something I can do with my inventory?

Just two things: before I use it, when I wanted to select the rattling stick, the game crashed, saying I didn't have the item in my inventory.

Secondly:
Spoiler
All the house is now drenched in blood (lovely...) I have been to the room with the two coffins, but couldn't do anything with them. Now this room seems to have gone, and there is nothing in any of the other rooms that I can do. Where now ? Help !

Gah, the crashes suck. I think there's too many sticks. But by now it must have worked or else you wouldn't be where you are.

Spoiler
The grey wall with the door that appears when you turn the sink on, moves up and down between the two floors. It might not be in the right spot.

Nah, that's not it.
Spoiler
The wall with the door is there, it's not grey anymore as everything is red now. Just the room with the 2 desks that led into the room with the coffins just leads into the corridor behind now. I have been to every accessible room, and some earlier ones are now closed, but there is nothing to do anywhere...

Hm, well I need more specifics. You may just be stuck. Or it could be some glitch. What's the last item you grabbed?

Oh dear, I just realised what you meant earlier...

Spoiler
Ok, I sent the door upstairs and found the doll etc. Now I have entered the cupboard, and I seem to be in some sort of labyrinth. I always end up in a room with only red doors, and when I enter them, I am on a completely red screen with a dark red blob on it. Am I dead, or what ? All I can use on the blob is the broken bottle, and it says "you cut the rope with the broken bottle". Doesn't sound right, does it ?

Stupid glitches! No, don't use the bottle. But do you perhaps have things to glue together? if you don't, there's no way to get them at that point. It's sort of a life or death situation.

Ahhhhhhh - finished. Thanks for the help. Good game, even if it seemed to overtax me slightly. ;)

Hi, can anyone please tell me how to..

Spoiler
flood the hall. I interacted - I think - with the sink in the kitchen. Nothing seemed to be happening??

Also, where would the glue be to fix the key?
