Asking on a forum takes time, reading a walkthrough is instant. If you trust yourself that little, you can always have someone else read the walkthrough for you.

I suppose, but I just hate it when I see some idiot grab a game along with the walkthrough in stores. Seriously, they're already anticipating that they'll be stuck. Plus, there are much better free ones available online.

I'm getting too off-topic, sorry.

Hi there

I would just like to mention that I am a 69year old lady who has never played this kind of game before and I just used the walkthrough when I was really stuck.., I thought I had done rather well up till then and I was sick of the damn dog in the corridor and I didn´t know what to do next, perhaps I am too old for these kind of games after all

Sorry, something is telling me that you're not 69. It doesn't really matter actually. Its not like you are much less incapable of exploring things when you hit a certain age (well, maybe if you get Alzheimer). No one is ever too old for games in my opinion. It's a form of entertainment that suits anyone, although I'm a bit surprised that someone as old as you (if you truly are 69) is playing a game that cause problems.

Yes I really am 69 and I am disappointed to be accused of telling lies, if anything is letting me down I would say my sight is not as good as it might be, and if I was to guess your age I would say I think you are about 11

As for the walkthrough issues mentioned earlier. Yea, its horrible, but some people are completionists and feel they only get the full experience if they the game exactly how the walkthrough tells them, finding every little secret.
