The Machine

[downquark]

Yes, I finished the game. The painting was the last thing I needed.
There were no problems aside from the painting. I didn't even run out of oil, which was a good thing. :) I hate running around without the lantern, it annoys me.

Yes, but the solution for "Bulkheads" quest is written in the letter near the bulkheads. A lot of people didn't notice it!

I was actually surprised when I did everything the same way as I had done the first time, but the gate remained closed (I didn't try to access the Zeppelin because I knew I did not have to, yet). After going back and forth a few times I figured that maybe I have to get the Zeppelin door open before I can progress, so I had the monster break the door, then pulled the UDU levers again, which reset my sanity and opened the gate.

Well, it's really hard, but you can escape the same way as the way you get there - by the trapdoor. Just use the boxes!

I see. I tried doing that first because the barricaded door looked very suspicious, but got bored really fast and figured that maybe I actually have to go out through the door.

This is now one of my favorite custom stories. I guess I'll be lurking around in case you decide to make another one.
