BEDROOM
Your
adventure starts in your bedroom. Monsters have invaded, trapping you in
your bedroom, and your brother in his treehouse. How are you gonna deal
with this?
Explore your room, and everything in it. Look at calendar
on the door, and mark the calendar. Look at TAP SHOES hanging
from the bookcase, and equip TAP
SHOES. Look at ballerina in the bookcase. Look at
your little toy oven, and try to bake with the toy oven. Look at globe on
top of the little oven, and use TAP
SHOES with the globe. Look at toys on the shelf
above the window. Look at the Puppy Surprise toy on your bed, and search
the Puppy Surprise toy to get a close-up. Look at the puppy toys.
Look at DIARY
KEY and get DIARY
KEY. You also take your MUM’S HEIRLOOM KEY.
Now exit the close-up. Look at WALKIE TALKIE on the floor in front of
your wardrobe, and get WALKIE
TALKIE. Pity it’s got no batteries - you need to find
some. Turn on your computer. Unfortunately, you don’t dare use it
right now, for fear that the noise will attract the monsters. Walk left
to the other end of your room.
Look
out the window to see a flashing light coming from the treehouse where your
brother is hiding. Also notice your dog hiding in the dog house.
When you’re ready, look away from the window.
Turn on your TV if you like. Look at the diary on the
chest of drawers next to your TV to get a close-up of it. Use DIARY KEY on the
diary to unlock it. Look at the diary, and write an entry in the
diary. Exit the close-up. Open cupboard on the left. Look at
the Simon Says game, and challenge the Simon Says game. For those who
don’t know, just click on the lights that Simon shows you. After you beat
it, you automatically remove the BATTERIES.
Insert BATTERIES into
your Walkie Talkie, then use it to communicate with your brother. Just
choose any options, when given the choice. He advises you to retreat to
the attic, as your bedroom isn’t secure. Head right, and make your way to
the bedroom door. Click on the door to leave your bedroom.
HALLWAY
Use WALKIE
TALKIE to communicate with your brother. Click on
the blue jewellery box on the table next to your door, and use MUM’S HEIRLOOM KEY on
the jewellery box to unlock it. You can’t do anything with it at the
moment, but remember it’s there. Explore everything in the hall.
When you’re ready, walk right to the other end of the hall.
Look at the hall cupboard door and open the hall cupboard
door. Look at box on the top shelf, and use TAP SHOES on the
box to knock it down. Now search the box to find TORCH (with no
batteries), BALLET
SHOES, PET
TREATS, and some POGS.
Walk right, back to the other end of the hall.
Click
on the stairs in the back wall.
ATTIC
Climb up stairs to the attic door. Click on the attic door
and try to open it, but it’s locked. Your brother talks to you through
the WALKIE TALKIE,
and tells you to get the attic key from the Trophy Room. Climb down the
stairs, and click on the doorway, then exit the attic area.
HALLWAY
Walk
right to the other end of the hall.
Click

TALKIE to talk to your brother. When conversation is
over, continue down the stairs to the Living Room.
LIVING ROOM

Explore the kitchen. Click on the radio to get a
close-up. Look at lid at the top of the radio, and pop open the lid to

your torch. Walk right a few steps, and enter through the door into the
Basement.
BASEMENT
You automatically use your TORCH in the dark basement. Walk
left a few steps, and look at the junk pile next to the wall. Use TAP SHOES on the
junk pile to shift it. With all that junk out of the way, you now have
access to the power box. Click on the power box and flip breaker.
Success! You have power again, and the lights come back on. Walk
right a few steps and… you come face to face with the monster! Use BALLET SHOES to
outwit him, and escape from the basement.
KITCHEN
Use WALKIE
TALKIE to talk to your brother. Walk left, and enter
through double-doors, into the Living Room.
LIVING ROOM
Walk
right a few steps, and enter through door, into the Trophy Room.
TROPHY ROOM
There’s another monster here. Throw DOG TREATS at the
monster, and repeat this until he’s out of the room. Phew! That was
close! Now look at the stuffed deer, look at his antler, and pull his
antler. It seems you turned on some kind of laser, which is shining out
from the deer’s eyes. Your brother talks to you through the WALKIE TALKIE -
choose any responses. He tells you to find some marbles, but you can’t
see any nearby.

Use WALKIE
TALKIE to communicate with your sister to tell her that
the marbles she needs are here in the Tree House. Explore everything in
the Tree House. Look at poster on wall on the right, and pay special
attention to the diagram of the animal head - the eyes are red and green.
Look at desk on the left, and open drawer in the desk. In the drawer,
you’ll see a POUCH and
lots of MARBLES.
Place a RED MARBLE and
a GREEN MARBLE (as
per poster on the wall) into the POUCH,
then take the POUCH.
Exit the close-up. Look at the metal chest under the desk to get
some FLARES.
Look at box on the right and take the FLARE GUN. Load FLARE GUN with FLARES. The pigeon
will fly the POUCH
WITH MARBLES over to your sister. Well… the pigeon
ALMOST makes it… but the a monster kills it. Poor pigeon. Get
another POUCH WITH
MARBLES and try again. The second pigeon will fly
away. For the third time, get a POUCH WITH MARBLES and give it to your

Run up the stairs. Use ATTIC KEY in attic
door at top of the stairs.

behind you, so the monsters can‘t get in… but you accidentally drop the key,
and it falls under the floorboards. Talk to your brother on the WALKIE TALKIE, choosing
any dialogue options when prompted. He mentions a portal. Hmm,
interesting! Now explore the attic. Walk right to the other end of

pry it out of the wall. Look at the sports vault on wall on the left, and
use your telekinesis to try and open it. It’s another game you have to

everything in it. Take GRUB
JUICE HYDRATION CYLINDER, then exit close-up of the

back wall.
The

spear! You definitely don’t want to go that way! Walk left, back to
the Living Room.
LIVING ROOM
Walk
left a few steps, to the other end of the Living Room.
Explore
everything in the room. Look at bug on the table in the foreground.
Look at desk on the back wall. Look at the scribbled note on the desk,
and notice the different spellings of Grubels \ Grubbles. Look at door in
the back wall - it’s locked. Who locks the door to their kitchen?
There’s nothing you can really do here, so walk left, back to the other end of
the room.
Look at the red box on wall on the right. Your COMMUNICATION TABLET starts
buzzing again. You have to play a quick game of Snake, before you soon
have to ask Xefros for help on how to win. Click through the conversation
dialogue, choosing any dialogue option when prompted. When conversation
is over, click on red box on wall on the right again. You HAVE to beat
this Snake game. If you looked at the scribbled note on the desk, you’ll
see the word ‘Grubbles’ in the upper right corner. You have to pick up
the letters in the order of that word. At the same time, you have to avoid the
other snake. This is tricky, and may take you several attempts, but keep
trying. When you succeed, the door to the kitchen will open, and the
lusus from the room below will rise up on the platform. You make a hasty
exit!
KITCHEN
You automatically use the COMMUNICATION TABLET to talk with
Xeflos. When conversation is over, explore the kitchen. Open the
cupboard to find a BOWL.

and take VET
MEDKIT from the red settee. Look at VET MEDKIT in your
Inventory, to see everything it contains. Look at the pile of instruments
on the left, and use HOVER

Xefros through the COMMUNICATION
TABLET again. Choose any dialogue option when
prompted. When conversation is over, head right, and climb down the
stairs to the kitchen.

Look at door on the right - the deercat beast is on the other
side of the door. In your Inventory, pour LUSUS MILK into
the BOWL,
then use BOWL OF
LUSUS MILK with door on the right. You carefully
open the door, just a crack, and slip the bowl of milk through the door for the
deercat beast. Now you can’t go through this door again, as that would
startle the deercat. You have to find another way around. So climb
up stairs to the attic again.
ATTIC
Head

BEASTS on the deercat to learn more about him. Now
use VET MEDKIT on
the deercat. He’s grateful to you, and gives you a big, affectionate lick
- the two of you are now friends! You can name him if you like. Now
click on the deercat, and ride him. You use the COMMUNICATION TABLE to
contact Xefros again, choosing any dialogue option when prompted. Watch
the cut scene, as the deercat takes you to Xefros’s garden.
