5 Days a Stranger

[Vault]

A scary downloadable mystery game. You are Trilby, a master cat burgaler. Your fence tells you about an abandoned mansion ready for looting. Once you get in all is not what it seems...
Warning: This game is SCARY!
The graphics are not very good but it is still a fun game.

i downloaded the game and it's in a winzip file...i'm not really sure what to do to install the game - i'm just not all that familiar with what to do with winzip...any help?

[Mr_Pace]

Just tell it to 'unzip' or 'extract' all files, then save the new files to a folder on your computer. Then you should be able to play using the extracted files.

day 2

i got on day 2, and i found a book about defoe family, but i cant get anywhere past that. right now ive picked up a chord and a book, i can find either because i dont think there is an inventory button, and i can pick up the rifle but i have no where to put it, anyone else get any further? im stuck!

Booshia, you do not need the rifle till the end of the game. Put it back over the fireplace. Right click for inventory.

To find Simone and the boy:

go upstairs, to the right, and talk to the lady, then go outside, and 'TALK" to the tree.

[SkiColorado1616]

thanks RiKU!

okay i had already found simone, but i did what you said about the tree and box comes up saying "i'm not that far gone" i assume you meant the tree right outside near the shed, right?

[Booshia]

thanks a lot!
oh and when you talk to the tree, you need to shake it first
when you shake the tree someone says hey, then you choose the talk option

[SkiColorado1616]

It won't let me

look at the part of the kitchen floor where the bodies are supposed to be. I clicked all over it with the look icon.

[Vault]

To Jhonka:

The bodies arent in the kitchen floor. Go to the shed and get a pickaxe. If you havent unlocked the shed do so with your lockpicks. Then go back to the kitchen and use the pickaxe on the clickable part on the wall to the left.

Okay, I found the spot, and it says AREA, but it says "that doesn't work" when I try clicking on and around that area. (I have looked at the

chains

already, if that's important.

Edit: Nvm I got it. Thank you for helping me!
