I read the reviews and I think the problem most people are having is that this game is very different. It is unique, once you become spellbound by it like I am. I'm going to make some notes for those having trouble with getting into the home:
1) I think you have to go through the process of looking around in the woods for a few minutes, to become familiar. Then go to the car, open the door, and get a key from the glove compartment. Then click on the door again and leave the car.
2) Go to the front door of the house. You have to have the game view on the door lock and handle. Now right click the mouse button and take the house key. It's important to right click a SECOND time to make the inventory disappear, and then right click a THIRD time with the mouse (while holding key). This tells you that the door is now unlocked, so you click on the door to open it.
3) Any time you are tired of the credits in the beginning or end, simply click escape.
4) To save a game, click save, and there is a small list of numbers 1 through 10 below. Save and then return back to the main menu to exit. You can save over a game any time you wish.
Don't give up on this game or pass it by. Once you're in the home, you won't believe how beautiful the home is, and how intriguing this game is. It's absolutely wonderful.
I've bought more games than I care to think about. Some are fun, others are great for passing time, but this one is exactly what I wanted. It's relaxed, beautiful graphics, and intriguing. I can't believe all the doors and other passage ways. I've always wanted a game with a lot of doors and rooms, and this is it. I would buy any game from the persons who created this one.
