I started this game the other night. Got stuck and gave it another try today but cannot get unstuck.
I am still right in the beginning. The first couple of clues are strait forward. I found a scroll and some books, used the scroll on a table and the books on a shelf which opened a door to a (second) downward staircase. Down there I listened to somebody talk about hiding the books and key and looked at a book with a picture of a key on it. That book has to do with an opening in a wall on the first landing (down the first set of stairs). However, that is where the clues stopped being helpful to me. I don't know what to do with the five white buttons in the wall opening. They each go in 3 positions, but that's all I know.
In inventory, I have one book that I haven't found any place for that I can use or look at it. It has kind of an M on it with a line going up in the middle section.
That's it.
I did read that you can die or dead end yourself in this game so I'm not sure if I did something wrong already or missed something or just not getting the clue for this puzzle.
Can you tell me anything based on this information?
Thanks.
