We receive a lot of e-mails and messages about being stuck
in a certain places in the game, so try the things below
before contacting us.
First did you try everything? Click on everything that can
be clicked on? Talk with everyone if you can talk with them?
Second, try using our in-depth walkthrough of the game. We
use it and so did many others, and they survived the horror of
Phantasmagoria 2.
Everyone at lease had a problem with Phantasmagoria 2, and
if you haven't expect to soon :)

last two lines and delete replace them with
