the last visit
Start a new game and select The Last Visit.
A reporter is asked by his editor to cover the Blackwood Manor. They will as soon as the estate is demolished! Two weeks from now that place is going to be smashed to pieces, and such event will revive all the rumors and madness.
Michael Arthate does not talk to reporters. Jerry Carter has been sentenced to 8 years for fraud and have been released after 4 years.
Garden - The reporter left his SUV by the gate. Explore the outside of the manor.
Garage - Go forward and then right to the garage. There's a huge amount of junk inside this garage. I won't even attempt going in....
Turn right after facing the garage door and take the can on the ground by the drums.
Manor stairs - Go forward to the other side of the dry fountain. Right of the steps to the manor see 'souvenirs' left behind by looters.
Look close at the hole on the ground and see faint light below.
Left path of the grounds - Go left of the manor and see the paths to the greenhouse and the chapel is filled with water.
Use the can on the water to fill the can with water.
Manor - Go inside the manor. See what the vandals have done to the whole house. What a waste.
Living Room - Look around and see vandalism and graffiti on the walls. Look in the fireplace and see the hole on the fireplace floor. Enter and go down the hole.
Hidden Passage - Look around and then go right. Enter the doorway on the left.
Lair - Oh my! Look around and check the teddy bear.
Look close at the hole in the wall. See a shiny object in the foreground. Try to take it. The shiny eyes (?cat - you know better) prevents the taking of the object. Try several times and see what happens.
Garden - Go back up and out of the manor. Use the can with water on the hole in the ground right of the steps. An indignant sound comes from below.
Go back to the water area left of the manor. Use the can on the water again to get can with water.
Lair - Go back down to the lair via the fireplace in the living room. Take the shiny object which is a doorknob.
Look around the Manor.
See that the door left of the living room fireplace that goes to the Study can not be opened.
The Reception Hall is really torn up.
The Dining room is in a sad state.
The door to the Study is rusty and can not be opened.
The Small hallway is bare.
Kitchen - The kitchen door's doorknob was stolen.
Use the doorknob taken from the lair on the doorknob hole.
Enter and look around. Open drawers and see what the looters have taken. They didn't even spare the forks!
The maid's room can not be entered.
Cellar - Go down the cellar. Take the rag from the right corner of the furnace. Pan right and take the cleaning fluid from the floor. Go back up.
The door to go outside from the kitchen is also blocked. Exit the kitchen.
The stairs going up from the small hallway is filled with debris.
Go to the main stairs at the front of the house. Climb up.
Guest bedroom - Look around and see that Michael's shirts are what are left in his suitcase.
Main bedroom - Oh how sad! Look in the drawer and see the thalidomide bottle there. That is one explanation for Robin.
Gallery - Check the destruction done in the gallery. Look in the store room.
The stairs going to the top floor is scary for the reporter.
Bathroom - Enter and look around. Look in the bath tub and see that it is too dark - there is not enough light to see.
Muddy window - Look at the window. See that it is covered with mud.
Try the rag alone and see it's dry.
In inventory, wet the dry rag with the can filled with water. Try it on the window and it is not strong enough.
Then combine the wet rag with the cleaning fluid.
Use the wet rag with cleaning fluid on the window. Now there's light.
Look in the bath tub and see the 'mask'.
Exit the bathroom and walk around. You will hear the music change to a scary tempo.
Go back to the bathroom and look in the bath tub again. Run!
A newly arrived old man saved the reporter. Wonder who that was?
See the mask lying on stone outside the destroyed manor.
