Now........I am in Chapter 3, Part 1. I am looking for the locker room. I've gone into the tunnel but have been attacked by spiders. So for, I have not been able to kill any of the mad dogs or spiders, I can't seem to hit the board side of a barn, is there any help out there for me? Someone mentioned an INI file, I haven't a clue what or where that is. I'm having a lot of problems picking up items from my inventory, what is wrong with this game? The developer should have already had a patch for this, it's horrible.
Also, is there much left to this game? Please tell me I'm at the end of it!

Thanks again Presto! I am now out of the frying pan and in the fire. I am trying to get passed the steam on the grids. This game is giving me a headache.........any clues or hints for this section? slapforehead

Those grids were a pain in the rear. I know it took me about 10 times before I got through that part. It really is a matter of timing it right.

You might want to check out Helloween4545 on YouTube. He's got a Let's Play of Penumbra Overture which is excellent. If you look at his Painkillers Solve Everything (Set 7 Part 4) he tackles the steam grids.

Hope this helps.
Best,
Leigh-Anne

Hi L4L. I am very grateful to Presto, she's been a big help! I did watch the video on youtube, I've watched some of the other ones he has, and decided to take a break since I had a horrible headache. May try again later. Who is Helloween4545? He's a hoot! Love to hear him talk lol
Why do I get the impression that I have many miles to go in this game?

Oops, new problem. I don't have the code and have no idea how to get back to the lockers and am asking myself, do I really want to? Is there a quick fix for this? Please say yes!
Thanks to Helloween 4545 I was able to get through the steamroom. I think he had to go back for the bolt cutters, which I had, but no code!

Terri824,

Unfortunately I do think you'll need to backtrack to Shaft 13 to pick up the blank note in the locker. If you managed to kill all of the Bad Satan Dogs on your way there then they should still be dead on the reverse trip. Actually they will have disappeared. But they will be gone nonetheless. Just go thru the hole in the wall from the mine cart crash.

Alternatively you can try just heading to Section C and try using the code on the door. I'm not sure if the game requires you to have picked up the blank note and viewed it under the UV light in order to trigger the code or just knowing it would work.

Helloween4545 is one of my favorite Let's Players and it's always fun watching his videos. grin

Best,
Leigh-Anne

Thanks again Presto. I had already tried the key pad but apparently not only did you had to have the note but you had to have read it under the UV light. Now I am trying to out run the Worm and I don't think it would be a problem if I weren't running in mud or sand. What is the deal with this game? Sometimes it runs smoothly and other times I can barely move. This is pathetic! This might have been a good game if you could control the movements.

Terri smirk

I am so finished with this game! I was disappointed in the ending, wait...........is that the ending? Being a glutten for punishment, I installed the next one, Black Plague.
Would you please consider adding a topic to the forum, Games that Terri shouldn't play! I would so appreciate it. LOL zombie
