Walk downstairs, to the Dining Room. 

 

 

 

 

DINING ROOM

 

This must be the creepiest Dining Room you’ve ever seen - all the other guests are dead!  The Receptionist greets you as if nothing was wrong.  Work through all the dialogue with her.  She gives you a LETTER from Ivy, before she leaves.  In your Inventory, read the LETTER - it’s an emotional plea from Ivy.  When you’re ready, walk left to Ground Floor Reception Area. 

 

 

 

 

GROUND FLOOR RECEPTION AREA

 

Look at the cat.  This is the cat that eats keys, so give your ROOM KEY 101 to the cat.  You now catch the CAT.  Use the lift, and go up to the First Floor.

CELLAR - LOWER LEVEL

 

Look at the bottles of chemicals on the left.  This is what you’ll use to kill little Sophie with.  But which chemical should you pick - red or blue?  Well, the blue chemical will cause terrible pain and suffering when injected, so let’s not take that one.  Use SYRINGE with bottle of red chemical to get SYRINGE WITH RED LIQUID.  Now look at body on the centre table to get a close-up.  Creepy, isn’t it?  Remove the loose skin on the forehead, so you can see his brain.  This must be the favour that Doctor Z asked you about.  Use BOWL FULL OF ICE on the newly-exposed brain, so you can transport it safely (shudder!!!).  Now exit the close-up.  Look at the patient’s file on the table next to the body to find out that this is John Wilson, AKA The Devonshire Axeman who brutally murdered several people.  Pull Gas Control Switch on wall on the right.  Now climb up the rope, back to the main Cellar room.
