   @ wolf
   that’s not necessary…you have to combine them by clicking one item and then a second one (or a third)

   Walkthough:

   Show

   You fight off nausea as you spin around and around, finding yourself in the foyer of a large house. You thought you caught a glimpse of a design on the ceiling, so you walk up the stairs and turn around. You see the number 4 drawn on the ceiling.

   While peering over the stairway railing, you see a front door and a table. Maybe you’ll figure out why you’re in this house, and what you’re supposed to do.

   You open the drawer on the table and pick up a map of some sort. It looks like rooms are outlined with colors, and there are all sorts of squares and rectangles.

   The door is securely locked. And, next to the door, a keypad where you’re supposed to enter a seven-digit code. Probably, your mission tonight is to solve puzzles to learn this code so you can escape.

   Show

   Meanwhile, there’s a repetitive jingle-like music track churning again and again through your brain. Perhaps the purpose of the game is to find out how to change the music, but it’s not working. Fighting off madness, you pick up your computer speakers and hurl them through a window. At last, blessed silence!

   You face the stairs again, then look at your map. The house seems to be divided into three areas – two on the first floor and one upstairs. Maybe there’s some information you need in each of the color-coded rooms.

   The foyer is marked in green. So you think to yourself: Green room – 4.

   Show

   You decide to start downstairs and to the left. On the right, you enter a powder room. It smells terrible, and no wonder, the toilet won’t flush. You’d describe what you found in the toilet, but then you’d have to quit the adventuring business and return to your former job digging up earthworms for a bait vendor. Yeech!

   You look inside the medicine cabinet, hoping to find something to help you forget. And there you have some pain pills. Blessed relief. After the toilet and the music and all that twirling around, that’s exactly what you need.

   Show

   Back in the hallway, you look to the left, and grab a lighter sitting on the window still. It’s all about opportunity.

   You head toward the end of the hall, into the room marked blue on the map. It’s a kitchen. You see some lemons on the floor and you notice the nearby wall is streaked with lemon juice, though it’s hard to make out a pattern. This sounds like a job for an invisible ink hunter.

   You look to the left, and you play with a refrigerator with a code pad you can’t access. And then you see a gun in the oven. You take a pregnant pause, adjust your maternity clothes, and try and get that baby out. But to no avail, the oven door is firmly stuck.

   Moving over to the dining area on the other side of the kitchen, you grab a knife that’s sticking out of a table leg. How rude. Some dinner guests just don’t know how to express their dissatisfaction with a meal gone awry. That’s probably why there’s lemon juice all over the walls.

   Show

   So, now it’s time to explore the right-side hallway on the first floor.

   The first door, according to the map, leads to the filthy powder room. Luckily, that door is locked. If you’re realy lucky, you won’t find a key anywhere.

   Show

   The second door leads to an office – the purple room on the map. You see a big globe and open it. Inside, there’s an oily piece of paper that seems quite stuck. You walk over to a desk and take a bottle of ink, but you leave the pen behind. Seems like a backward thing to do. I mean, I’d rather have the pen and then wait until I run out of ink before I go carrying something like that around. But I’m happy to take the ink.

   There are some paintings on the wall that I’m assured contain some nudity, but, spending too much time with nudity led to the situation with the gun in the oven, so I don’t linger. With the ink in hand, I can now pick up the oily piece of paper, revealing the number 8 inside the globe. Purple room – 8.

   Show

   Back to the hallway, headed toward the room marked in yellow at the end. It’s some sort of living room, with a large bookcase. You open the drawer at the bottom of the bookcase and take a flashlight. You look around the room and are tempted to sit in the comfy chairs, but can’t.

   Show

   It’s time to explore the upstairs. You wander into the first door on the left, into a bedroom marked orange on the map. Eek. You’re startled as a set of children’s blocks clatters to the floor. Why? Well, you look closely and you see a big block right in front of you with the number 0 on it. Orange room – 0. Channeling your inner Radar O’Reilly, you grab a teddy bear from a shelf for comfort and run from the room.

   Show

   Moving down the hall, you enter the middle door and walk into a full bathroom. This one smells far better than the bathroom downstairs. The floors positively gleam with cleanser and positive energy. Inspired, you look in the toilet. And there’s a piece of paper.

   Now who doesn’t want to read used toilet paper? Raise your hand, people, if you’ve never reached into a toilet and unraveled a used piece of toilet paper. Because if you’re a veteran adventurer, you know that toilet paper contains the best clues.

   And this looks like a a great clue, even if it isn’t the most fragrant of clues. It’s a list of seven colors, just like there are seven positions in the code downstairs. And the colors seem to match your map: Green, Blue, Yellow, ?, Orange, Gray, Purple.

   Well, you already know part of the code, it seems: 4, ?, ?, ?, 0, ?, 8. You’re on your way.

   Show

   The next room down the hall is the master bedroom. No color, though. You search around, and you find eyedrops in the drawer of the small bureau. On top of the bureau, you take a candle. And not just any candle, a clean candle. Perhaps the home designer felt a little guilty about that horrible powder room and the toilet paper caper.

   You reach into a very deep closet and find a button. You press the button to reveal a tiny door. And going in the door, Holy Alice-in-Wonderland, you spin down the spiral staircase into a hallway!

   Show

   Moving down the hallway, you enter a control room, hitting your head on the door opening and nearly killing yourself. On a side table, you grab a syringe. Yeah, I know, what’s the point. But it’s there. And on a screen, you read all about eye drops and aspirin and cocaine and syringes. Cocaine? Maybe this isn’t the type of adventure you had hoped for. But there it is. Apparently, you need to inject your mixture in the living room.

   Show

   You find your way back to the hallway, a little intimidated by all these instructions. You find a door at the end of the hall on the right – the grey room. You walk into a darkened closet and turn on your flashlight.

   Dragging your light beam around the room, you find a chain near the ceiling. You give it a yank, and bring down a set of pull-down stairs. Upstairs, you drag your light beam around some more, and find a faint 5 etched on a ceiling beam on the right side of the room. Grey room – 5. You need blue, yellow and the ? color.

   Show

   The blue room was the kitchen. You go back downstairs, and you remember that lemon juice ink can be revealed with heat. So you put the candle on the floor in front of the wall, and you use the lighter. You don’t even need to go into inventory to do this – just click on the floor and you do everything automatically. Terrific, there’s a 7 written in lemon juice. Blue room – 7.

   Show

   Now it’s time to make your concoction. You look back at your map, and notice that inventory items now fill the squares on the bottom. You need a syringe, eye drops and aspirin. You click the eye drops, then the aspirin, then the syringe. Suddenly, you’ve injected yourself with a powerful potion and your vision feels very sharp.

   You walk into the living room, and it’s all aglow. And there’s a large 6 written on the wall next to the clock. Yellow room – 6.

   Show

   OK, so you’ve exhausted all the rooms, and there’s still one piece of the code to find. You look at the inventory again, and remember that you’ve yet to touch the teddy bear and the knife. Well, come on, to heck with old Radar, what fun is a moldy old teddy bear if you can’t stab the stuffing out of it.

   You take the knife and plunge it into Teddy’s heart, ripping out its stuffing and doing all sorts of unspeakable anti-Teddy acts. PETA calls. You refuse to answer the phone and continue ripping this poor little animal to shreds. You find a number 3.

   Show

   Yeah, makes no sense to find a 3 in the middle of a bear, I guess that’s why the Teddy room is marked with a question. This must be the last piece of the code. Putting it all together, you now have 4, 7, 6, 3, 0, 5, 8.

   You turn to the door panel and enter the code. All the little code lights turn green. And then, I guess, that potion you took takes over. You open the door, and the room starts shaking, and what looks like the flying contents of the powder room over a sunset.

   Never mind. I think you escaped, because you find yourself back in your own house, dizzy and disoriented and in need of a good night’s sleep.

    How do I view my inventory? The pop-up tags in the middle of the game are annoying. Is there a way to turn off the music?

    very nice style of writing the solution of Anemic!

    what interests me is that in the inventory still missing two articles … when the door opens, you can back into the hall, it turns everything around and in order to see the window on the right side all overlook the 2 is very brightly lit, but tried in vain to be able to click on something.
    Had assumed there would be another 2 end … that is still under the jack for 1 Door in the lower right path and in the oven might look … seems only to give an end
