   OK for everyone (like me) that wondered how _nothing_ (ok _one_ thing) was available to interact with… the games seems to unlock stuff as you find the items to use there!

   OK so far:
   Show

   Go to dresser, in top drawer is note, under note is key
   Open door with key, read note.

   Some things I’m pondering:
   Bookshelf is now open. Can look at roman numeralled books – encyclopaedia?
   Note behind door said oxalis on one side and articulata. Click on encyclopaedias then click on ‘weeds’ book then go to top of page on weeds book and oxalis articulata is wood sorrel or pink sorrel.
   If you are quick, you can read on the bottom a few words vanish when the encyclopaedias slide back – ‘weeds.asn.au’ (which appears to be a page on weeds and no help) and ‘wiki’. Neither which seem helpful.
   The weeds book mentions pink sorrel being oxalis articulata, mentions another oxalis (soursob) which is yellow and linaceae which is blue. On the dresser are three plants – pink yellow and blue. Coincidence?

   Well I know it’s not much but I will keep going and try to find more

   I got a key under the note in the drawer. Opened the door and found a brick wall. Pressed the books in order on top row of bookcase. Read “Weeds” book. Now I can look in the flowerpot. Here, I am STUCK.

   Notice the points on the flower

   Okay…there are dots on the flower points. Do those have to do with the book numbers?

   I made it.

   Here’s my walkthrough ::DD

   Show

   Click the top drawer. (Everyone can find it.. hopefully)
   Click the note.
   Under the note there’s a key, take it.
   Go to the door and open it.
   Click on the note on the wall.
   Turn page by clicking in the corner.
   Go to bookshelf.
   Click on the gray book with big letters on it (WEEDS)
   Now you can click on the red books on the bookshelf.
   Find the combination.
   :D

   Here’s tips to find the combination or whatever you call it:
   Oxalis Articulata….
   Flower on drawer chest – How many dots?

   And if you’re to lazy to find the combination for those books:
   Show

   8(VIII) – 1(I) – 5(V) – 4(IV)
   How you find them:
   8 – From the purple flower (Purple flower = Oxalis Articulata)
   1 – From the flower too.
   5 – From the flower three. :O
   4 – On the note at the door it says “Oxalis” and on the other page it says “Articulata….”

   Walkthrough

   Show

   1. Open the top drawer of the chest
   2. Read the letter
   3. Get the key under the letter
   4. Open the door by clicking on the keyhole of the door
   5. Read the clue on the note
   6. Flip the note by pressing the turned-over corner
   7. Read the second clue of the note (all of it)
   8. Get the black-and-green Weeds-book out
   9. Click on top of screen to read the upper half of the page, revealing which flower the clue behind the door is pointing at.
   10. Go back the chest and click on the flowers
   11. Count the dots of the flower referred to (and only that one) leaving you with three numbers.
   12. A fourth number is needed. It was revealed when flipping over the note behind the door (or on the VCR). Look for the same kind of things you counted on the flower.
   13. Go to the bookcase and click the red Encyclopeadia on top.
   14. A close-up allows you to read the numerals on the backs of the books, but they are in the wrong order!
   15. Press the four books in the order given by the flower and then the number given by the note.
   You’re out!

    I don’t really understand the walkthrough. I clicked the books but nothing happened.

    I couldn’t get the code to work!!!!!!! I pressed 8-1-5-4 (VIII-I-V-IV) many times. The correct last number is not IV (4), the correct number is found on the back of note. Show

    The correct order is VIII-I-V-VII.
