[...] Dark Lineage. The first person imagery suggests it’ll be more real-time exploration-like than the previous game, but that seems [...]

How to solve it?

Take Pete’s car, drive over to mum’s, go in, take care of Phillip, grab mum, go over to Liz’s place, hole up, have a cup of tea and wait for this whole thing to blow over.

Of course.

There is a Piece of Paper with three figures on it : “287″. There is also a way to go to the cave below in the Passageway between the bottom of the staircase and the room with the clock. In the Cave there is a Dead Rat and later on a Strange Altar of Egyptian nature for I can tell, and frightening statues and sarcophagi. Somewhere there is a Three-Part-Seal and a sort of Twisted Wheel, again A Puzzle to solve on a ornemanted door.

Heavy smoke fills the cave but I see no Darkness yet.

@Adam:
I think that the only time I’ve noticed feet and stairs being in the same world was Shadow of the Colossus. It was subtle, yet stood out because of the way that stairs usually seem like ramps. Wander even stumbled on them occasionally, and stopping on them left him in a realistic pose.

The thing with staircases is that it’s waaaay too much work to get the game characters feet to actually walk on the stairs…
So you either, don’t let them walk on the stairs, kill them when they walk on the stairs or do like World of Warcraft and have them slide up the stairs…
Since this is Lovecraft nothing comes easy so it’s either 1. or 2.
They went with 1. but no doubt if you really persist they will have the stairs eat you or something.

In HP Lovecraft related news, I managed across a collection of his poetry entitled “A Winter Wish.” It took me over 20 minutes to actually find any poem in the collection CALLED A winter Wish.

Yet Another Labrynthine Lovecraftian Mystery of the Unseen and Unknowable.

Gee sorry. Didn’t realize this was such a touchy crowd. I liked the TLJ retrospective if that makes you feel better.

“Looks to me like a romance novel written by Things That Should Not Be.”

Maybe it’s Japanese…
