When will I be able to leave the Secret Room?

  • 1 of 8: Explore the whole room carefully, picking up everything you can.  Ariane won't be able to leave until you do.
  • 2 of 8: Walk towards the desk and click on it to get up closer.
  • 3 of 8: There are several things to get on the desk.
  • 4 of 8: Pick up the disk (CD-ROM) and analyze it.
  • 5 of 8: Get the photograph (it can be viewed inside the computer under "my photos.")
  • 6 of 8: Pick up the reel of film under the lamp.
  • 7 of 8: Click on the open book and look at it in the computer (file name "diary").
  • 8 of 8: SAVE YOUR GAME before exiting either door.  Read the hints about The Two Endings before leaving this room.  There's no turning back (except with a restore, of course).
