Never mind, I got it. Am now stuck in the room with the gruel!!

Gruel?

Spoiler

Dr O'Hagan said she'd drop the Key Card into the grate in the Lvl 7 conference room.

Spoiler

Go into the lift shaft and drop down to the bottom level. You're now on level 7.

Spoiler

Is the bottom door open? The other door leads to the conference room. Which is locked.

Spoiler

If the bottom door is locked, go back up the lift-shaft to where you were, and look for a switch to open the door.

But WHERE is the switch, you mentioned?

Thank you, that helped

Hi, people.
Here's my problem: I draw an image in Microsoft Paint. I import it as a sprite. But when I try putting it in the game it is waaaay too big. I tried to make it smaller in Paint, but that doesn't help. Why is this happening? How to change sprite size so, it would be as big, as needed? Please help me.

Hi people. Since you must have already read the subject, here it is:

After you kill the wielder (with help of radio masts), don't destroy the idol. Instead of that go back into the ship, close the door and use your normal uniform. This is a scary one!

Never mind, already finished. Great game.

Thanks for advice, but I have already talked to everyone, till they repeat themselves and this doesn't seem to help. Maybe there is some bug, and I did something, that doesn't let me to

Spoiler

Hey,I got a message for all fo you that play to Trilby's Note...Tell all the nightmare that Trilby do during the game.Like me,i saw:
-You walk,and when you change of scene,Trilby transform himself in the Melder for 5 sec or less....
-When i change of scene in the Real World,sometime i teleport to the Deck on 7 day a Skeptic with the black box in the center,and i've already teleport myself in the house of the monk Gadabath or something like that....
-My last "nightmare",i discover it the same way that the other.but we teleport ourself in the basement of DeFoe Manor,near the manacles,and the Melder ,with his machete,go down the stair a approach us....That one really scare me....
Anyway,if you want to know if you are in a night mare,just tape any command that make sense,and it will say "It hurt" ...tell me if you saw other nightmare!

I found one more. I tried to open the door to the roof and a message was displayed: It hurts
Then i tried to open the door once again and a new message was displayed:
It hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts.
After that I saw nothing unusual. I think all these things are random and thats they appear each only once. Plz tell me if you find any more of these.

Thank you

Good day and buna ziua.

I've started this topic to discuss three of my favourite adventure games, 5 Days a Stranger, 7 Days a Skeptic, and Trilby's Notes.
This might have been discussed already, but it was before my time in this forum 'cause in 2002 and 2003 I was living in blissfull ingnorance with no Internet and with a 486 computer and going to the i-cafe for an hour every month or so to get some crappy games that would contain CIHs, but now I can do that from the confort of my own home!

Anyway, which game was scarier?
From my point of view, it was 7DAS. Why? Because the rooms were much more small, which made them more claustrophobical, therefor more frightening. There were also those chases which always got the blood pumping. 5DAS was too quite misterious and quite scary, being the first adventure game in years I've played, I didn't know what to expect, but I was mesmerised by it. The rooms were larger, they contain the back yard, which was kinda big, frankly, only the scene in the bathroom was smaller and more frightening with the 'big sick guy' staring right at you and coming menacingly. Trilby's Notes was probably the worst of them all from this point of view, because it had that documentary sort of feeling 'cause you would have flashbacks to previous times, and the parser was just dang annoying! Although I don't really hate parsers, they just annoy me, 'cause you have to guess what to do next most of the time. And what was the last bit where he had to die?! I tried many times to pass that on my own, but failed miserably, so I got the walkthrough from a topic and all I had to do is move arround a lot. And talk.

Anyway, tell me what YOU think.
(and don't tell me that you think this topic and/or me are stupid, please stick to the subject.)

Update:
I hve decided to add Pleurghburg to this spooky thread. Personally there were 2 things that scared me about Pleurghburg. The dream sequence early in the game where that horrid face comes speeding towards you (that always gets me!) and late at night at the park. The rest was just average I guess. Again, let's see what YOU think! Post TODAY! (and maybe tomorrow and then the day after and then everyday for the rest of your lives!)

Update:
Yet another topic change as thread goes towards horror games. What are you favourite horror games? Why? What's the best, or scariest or whateverest horror game. As I've mentioned below, I've downloaded Lost in the Nightmare, and I must say that after the installer copied it's exact size, it then 20 Megs, which really tickles my monkey! I hated when installers do that. I cleared lots and lots and lots of space by deleting other dear games to make room and what happens?! Ahem. Anyway, I've played LitN a bit (reached the rock with the blond dude) and I must say: I didn't expect point'n'click 3D rendered ZORK! But, aside that, and the fact that you can easily get lost in the beginning, it's quite cute, so far. So, feel free to discuss that too. I am now going to go and take my happy pills and then return.
Kudos!

I think, that 5 days a stranger was scarier, because it was less bloody. I mean, in the others parts of this trilogy (actually a quadralogy) there was gore and blood behind each corner, unlike 5DaS, so the scary scenes were more sudden, that made them even scarier. And the second thing

Spoiler

was that in 5DaS all murders were done by the main character (Trilby).

And that gave feeling, that you can't control the situation and that was scary too.
The titul of the most gory game of these three I would give to Trilby's notes. By the way, I'm stuck in this game. After coming into hotel and talking to that man, who had idol, when I exit he's room the hotel and hotel changes. What should I do now? Can anyone tell me, where to find walk for Trilby's notes?
