Here's some info about the missing poster:
Look through the window-like hole in the wall of The Quoit.
See security camera outside – notice sign in the ferns – Read 'Goshawk Security'.
A phone call -
Olly Tindle -
He is trapped in the motel, next to the Service Station. He has dropped his glasses and needs our help. He mentions 'Sad Barry' and something about "getting the CCTV working".
What on earth is going on?
Look at the laptop.
The Laptop is locked. Blast!
TIP: Read sticky note clue – "The Event" – 4 letters/numerals.
Look for clues, if you haven't worked it out.
Click to look at the metal sheet to the right of the Altar area, there's an old poster.
Use: Hand Wipes
Reveal an old missing poster - Ben Kendell - Mia's brother, and a date, September, 2006, 'missed by his sister'. [i][/i]
Hopefully this is enough to give you some context - let us know.

I haven't played the game so don't know exactly where you are, but until someone more familiar with the game comes along, maybe something in this thread will help you. There are a few suggestions there in terms of what to do when you are lost or feeling like you are unable to do anything.

What infernal noise is this? If it's what I think it is, that's your phone! I have never heard heard such an awful sound as that ring tone! See if that's it.

I find this in the walkthrough, which you have probably already tried: Outside Quoit, turn left, forward twice, right, forward twice, diagonal left and go to phone box.

I used "landmarks" to help me navigate or I would have been lost the entire game. I wandered around along time trying to figure out what that horrifying sound was - I think it was just chance that I looked in my inventory! Demented is a good way to describe it!

Getting through these woods is driving me mad because I am really poor with this style of slideshow navigation. [Unlike Mikael's in the Carol Reed games - with which I am fine  ] I've found several sites by accident and gathered lots of inventory items. However, finding sites on purpose appears to be absolutely beyond my capabilities and I am getting very fed up because I'll never progress with the story like this. What I need is a map which shows the steps to take in order to get from one site to another  I'm very close to uninstalling

Mad, no one is worse at this type of navigation than I am - I absolutely loathe it. I made note of "landmarks" for each location and finally was able to get around OK. For instance... 2 clicks from the Quoit, 1 right to tower; left to bent tree = phone booth. But I still got lost sometimes. There is a map at the kiosk by the phone booth, but I didn't think it helped very much

Thank you very much, MaG. [And I'm sorry to be so late getting back here.] I'll try and give those directions a go over the weekend  Draclvr. I just don't believe anyone can be worse than me with a navigation system like this  Cheers. Mad

I can probably guarantee I will put anyone else to shame! I LOATHE this method of navigation!

When I first started the game, I wandered around everywhere I could and (accidentally) visited a lot of the sites I later saw marked on the map and solved a couple of puzzles. But I'm now going to print out your walkthrough, MaG, and see if by using that I can find those sites again (on purpose) and hopefully do whatever I need to do to progress the story
