INTRODUCTION

 

Watch the intro to find out how you, infamous cat burglar Trilby, became a Paranormal Investigator. 

 

 

 

 

SIMONE’S APARTMENT BUILDING

 

Your adventure begins as you as standing outside Simone’s apartment.  LOOK around the hall outside the apartments.  LOOK WINDOW to see the storm raging outside.  Walk over to door on the right (Simone‘s door), and KNOCK DOOR.  Repeat this 3 times.  You get no reply, but the doorman has assured you that Simone is in.  You decide to pick the lock, and get in that way instead.  If Simone’s in trouble, you need to help her.  PICK LOCK to enter the apartment. 

 

It’s pitch black inside the apartment.  Walk right a few steps, and OPEN BLIND.  When the lightning shines through the window, you can see a body on the floor.  EXAMINE BODY to discover that the body belongs to Simone.  She’s dead!  Brutally murdered!  Could this be the work of John DeFoe? 

 

 

 

 

CLANBRONWYN HOTEL

 

After some investigation, you find yourself at the Clanbronwyn Hotel, determined to find the idol that houses John DeFoe’s soul.  You are greeted by a Mr Lenkman, who informs you that he will also be investigating things. 

 

Watch a cut scene, as you sign into the hotel.  Professor Abed Chahal takes you up to his room, to discuss artefacts from the DeFoe Manor.  LOOK ROOM, LOOK ABED, LOOK SIOBHAN, LOOK TV, LOOK SETTEE, LOOK BED, and LOOK DESK.  Now ASK ABOUT IDOL.  Professor Abed tells you about a painting that came from the DeFoe Manor, but now hangs in the lobby of this hotel.  You recall the painting with utter dread!  You have a disturbing vision, then you leave the Professor’s hotel room. 

 

Outside the hotel room, you begin hallucinating, and you find yourself in a nightmarish, alternate version of the hotel. 

 

 

 

 

NIGHTMARISH ALTERNATE HOTEL

 

There is some graffiti on the wall, so LOOK WALL.  Yikes!  You’re standing outside Room 2B - OPEN DOOR to enter Professor Abed’s room again. 

 

The room is just as scary as the hall outside.  LOOK ROOM, LOOK WALL, LOOK SETTEE, LOOK TABLE, LOOK BED, LOOK WINDOW.  It’s all very gruesome!  But you can’t do anything in here, so when you’re ready, OPEN DOOR to leave the room. 

 

Walk through door on the left, into the stairwell. 

 

The stairwell is splattered with bloodstains, so LOOK BLOOD.  Climb up to the top floor to see the message ‘Bring Her Back’.  Now make your way down to the Ground Floor.  LOOK PAPER on the floor, to read some diary pages.  Now walk through door on the right, into the Lobby. 

 

In the Lobby, you’re beginning to doubt that John DeFoe is behind this evil, as it isn’t his style.  Which begs the question… who IS behind it?  LOOK ROOM, LOOK WALL, then walk left to the next room. 

 

Walk over to the door in the back wall.  LOOK DOOR and OPEN DOOR to enter the Bar.
