And how lid in that thing is closed before you put empty container in it ?
Well,I transfered green thing onto the lid first,and then noticed that you have to put container in that slot next to it. Then I put it,green thing disappeared,and I can't pull back container (I suppose green thing is in it,I've read some walkthroughs too,but they didn't help me) .
Anyone had this problem and anyone knows the solution ?
Thanks in advance. Smile]]> Remember when you have to operate the machine with 3 levers and 1 button to get some green thing into container ? And how lid in that thing is closed before you put empty container in it ?

I decided to play through the game and I'am stuck.
I'am at the mine part where Shaft 12 and 13 can be found I don't know the code to the door leading to section C.
I've read a walkthrough but they say there, that I have to use a blank note in the UV lamp room but I haven't found a blank note.
Can someone help me?]]>

First time I really take damage Big Grin But I hit and the dog fall into ground. I think I killed him but it stand up again and hit me. Of course, I died.

Now I can even hit the dog. The hammer's control is so hard. When I try to hit, the dog hit me from back.

Do you have tactic(s) for me ? :'(

NOTE: I finished the game thanks guys.]]>

Any solution to continue?
I searched for a save game in this specific location but didn't find one.

Could someone provide me a save file in Computer Room or a solution to my problem?]]>

And my question is: considering the fact that Philip was trapped in the mine for more than a year, what did he eat and drink? He just had a backpack...not enough room for a whole year's meal. And even if we consider he ate 24-hour ration packs or beef jerkys, what about the water?]]>

My basic question is, is the game generally designed to expect you will engage in actual combat with the dogs, or is there a way to stealth or trick my way through it as well?]]>
