I took a look at the walkthrough and apparently the UV light is in the basement. The walkthrough says: Return to the Basement. Place the LEVER (D). Select E-D-E. Select the phone 3x; take the USB CABLE (F). Look at the note; take the UV LAMP (G). See if that helps - if not, maybe someone else will know and/or we can take another look at the walkthrough. I don't think the game is completely linear, so there may be some other things that you haven't done yet in order to proceed.

I decided to try the Trial Game yesterday, after seeing the favorable comments, and am VERY impressed so far. There are a few HOG scenes, but overall, it is a complex game where you don't find everything you need in the scene you are in, and the puzzles are great. I am playing the SE, but I think when the trial is over, I'll go looking for the CE version to buy.

I just finished this game (CE version) and had no trouble at all with the basement part, getting the battery case. It was a pesky problem to actually "charge" it, though. ha ha MINI-REVIEW: This game is now in my Top Ten, bumping one of the older ones. It is a BIG game, took several days to play through it, and I loved every minute. I took six pages of notes while playing it, keeping track of where there were things to come back to, what special objects I'd need to find, what I hadn't finished, etc. The premise is nothing new (a dead person kept alive with a machine, so she goes crazy and starts killing everyone), but the game play is innovative. The HOG scenes are not oppressive and are imaginatively constructed. This is not a game for people who don't like puzzles, so be advised. I love tough mini-games that make me get out a paper and pencil (even colored pencils!) and a calculator to solve things, so I was thrilled with Broken Hour. It has a great map to help you bounce around this special house that morphs. Oh, and like most games these days, you can tailor your difficulty from Hold-My-Hand to Hurt-Me. Believe me, you'll want to play on the latter. I definitely will be replaying this one!
