Still Life Hints

Pat's House: How can I get into the attic?

  • 1 of 9: You'll have to finish speaking with Mr. McPherson first.  Note: For this dialogue, only the right mouse button is used.
  • 2 of 9: The entrance to the attic is only accessible from the second floor.
  • 3 of 9: More specifically, from Victoria's old bedroom.
  • 4 of 9: The attic door is part of the ceiling in Victoria's closet.
  • 5 of 9: The ceiling is pretty high -- Victoria won't be able to reach it without a little help.
  • 6 of 9: Perhaps there is something around here that can extend her reach a bit.
  • 7 of 9: An umbrella would work.
  • 8 of 9: While Victoria is standing in the closet, select the umbrella from inventory, then click on the "closed fist" icon.
  • 9 of 9: Climb up the ladder.
