come now jonson, there is no strange thing about the english that is being written in game. But the dancing shadow, that was torture to sit through.

So I opened a box and saw a guy dance, then i couldn't do anything else. Not since Myst have I experienced the unfulfillment of clicking a mouse in just the right place for no satisfying reason.

I hit this evil game last Friday. Dear god this was frustrating, but I broke out of the room at last. Everything happens for a reason - even the dance.

Bloody hell, I can't even get find the dancing - or open the last drawer, for that matter.

You have to wait for the animation to finish. Ugh. Otherwise, a pretty neat-o link.

the dancing man points to a special point on the wall. click on it more than once.

And you gotta wait till the dancing ends, or you'll never write that paper.

Okay, got out of the room. Still unfulfilled.

man, I've got a box with tape but only one battery. I cannot figure out where the extra battery is. I also have an extra key that is just burning a hole in my inventory

made it - finally. Not much of a payoff, but it was better than working.

You know, if this happened in real life, you wouldn't be able to escape from the room because there's no access to a web browser. Well, I guess you could try all 9999 combinations. This was pretty fun. I enjoyed it.

That spoiler page isn't totally accurate, regarding picking up the screwdriver. You can do it your first try.
