Personal Nightmare

Solution:

Original solution by .....M W B.... in 1990

Notes

First some rules for the game:

  1. When you leave a room, just close any door you've opened
  2. OBJECTS marked with "POLICE" must be delivered to the police by at least the 4th day. It's better to do it right away when you find the things.
  3. Opponents, who are there only for information, are not mentioned because the list would be too long.

Day 1

First wait until Jimmy leaves the pub. Follow him, and you'll find Jimmy laying down in the street. Examine him and you'll find a ROOM KEY, FILM, and a PLATE WITH A NUMBER. Take all with you. Return to the pub and wait until Mr. Roberts leaves. Examine COAT and take KEY.

Now go to the REGISTRY OFFICE, and READ PAINTING on the wall. Open the safe by DIALing 1815. Take the PAPERS and close the SAFE. You'll find a CERTIFICATE marked with "Police" in the ROOM. Now go to IVY COTTAGE and when in the kitchen, go WEST to the PHOTOLAB. LOOK under the TABLE and you'll find a PHOTOMAGAZINE. Click this one in INVENTORY and a VOUCHER will be shown. VOUCHER=BORG/BEWYS/BON/VRYKAART Maar dat wisten jullie al?

Put the MAGAZINE back. There's a TOOLBOX SOUTH of the kitchen. You'll find a SLEDGEHAMMER, SECATEURS, and a MUZZLE in the ROOM. LOOK BEHIND PAINT PODS for an OILSTONE. Now go to the CHURCH, enter the OFFICE and open the desk by HITting the DESK WITH the HAMMER. Take the KEY and go to the CHURCHYARD.

At the STATUE where the FAMILY-VAULT is, go down and LOOK IN WEEDS (near the big statue) and GET GARLIC. Go to the PRESBYTERY (pastorie). On the floor, HIT WALL WITH HAMMER three times! You'll see a built in woman. Now CUT FINGERS WITH SECATEURS. Now you can take the PRAYER BOOK. READ PRAYER BOOK, then put it back. Back in the living room, examine the CHAIR and take the WOOL. Go to the first floor and just enter the BOXROOM. LOOK IN BOOKS and find (in ROOM) the book TREASURE ISLAND. Click on it and the SAVINGS BOOK, that you see. TAKE IT with you.

Go again to the CHURCHYARD down into the FAMILY-VAULT. Here you'll find a COFFIN (What else do you expect to find in a family-vault?). The vampire MICHAEL WILLIAMS lives here (we'll kill him later!). OPEN the door behind the coffin, and go UPSTAIRS and DROP SHOES. You are now in HONEYSUCKLE COTTAGE!

Enter the left room and EXAMINE ALICE. GET the KEY, and LOOK UNDER the BED. Exit and put on your shoes again and DROP the LADDER. GO UP THE LADDER. Open the doors to the GARRET. GET JUG and FILL JUG WITH WATER. POUR WATER over SUIT. The WITCH is dead? Free the woman by UNLOCK JUDY. Now go to the MANOR HOUSE. At 23:00 hours, HIT DOG WITH STAKE. When the beast gets closer, just kill it with RETURN.

Now enter the house and jump over the hole in the ground by SWING OVER HOLE. Go upstairs and enter the room. EXAMINE the coat on the BODY. TAKE the BOTTLE, and now return to the PUB. Go to your room and PUT the BRASS KEY, STAKE, SHINY KEY, YALE KEY, VICARAGE KEY, MUZZLE, SECATEURS, CERTIFICATE, BRIEFCASE and LEI into the WARDROBE.

Go to the PUB again and TAKE BUGLE. Go to the kitchen and IMMEDIATELY type PUT PLUG IN SINK, or you'll get a knife in your BRAINS (if you haven't any, it doesn't matter. LOOK IN the WASHING MACHINE. Herein you find JEANS. GET KEY. Return to your room and PUT BUGLE IN WARDROBE, then get some SLEEP.

Day 2

EXAMINE the room in the PUB, then go to JONES'ROOM (It's the room next doors). GET MIRROR. Click on PILLOW and GET DIARY. UNLOCK DIARY (marked with "Police"). Find the policeman (he is probably near the Post Office), and GIVE DIARY TO POLICEMAN. Now go to the GARAGE and wait for Mr. Mason to open the doors. LOOK IN BIN and you'll find the SECOND PLATE WITH A NUMBER (marked with "Police").

Go to the POST OFFICE, hand the SAVINGS BOOK over to the POST MISTRESS, and BUY a STAMP. LOOK IN DISPLAY STAND and take an ENVELOPE. Put the stamp on the envelope and PUT the FILM and VOUCHER INTO it. Exit and put it into the POSTBOX.

Now it's time to kill the vampire (Michael Williams). The MIRROR MUST be in your INVENTORY! Go to the FAMILY VAULT. Wait until the COFFIN LID opens. Now go WEST four times and wait until the vampire comes almost to your nose. REFLECT LIGHT WITH MIRROR and Count Dracula lives no more.

Go into the street and wait until the clock strikes 00:00 hours (midnight). Return to the PUB and wait at the FRONT DOOR. Mr. Mason will come and want to OVERRIDE you! Go immediately, when the car arrives, to the northeast. Do this as long as the CAR HITS THE TREE. Get into the car, OPEN GLOVE BOX and TAKE KEY. Now return to your room and GET the BUGLE and go to SLEEP.

Day 3

The third day starts with a SURPRISE. TONY'S TIN SOLDIERS want to SHOOT you! Just type SOUND BUGLE, as they arrive in the picture, to do them in. You'll find a POPGUN and TONY'S CATS in front of your door. Get the gun and DROP the WOOL. SHOOT POPGUN and TAKE OFF CORK. Put away the POPGUN and CLEAN the BOTTLE. Go to the CHURCH taking the shortest way. Right away go IN FRONT of the ANGEL and PRAY. The angel'll cry. PUT TEARS IN BOTTLE. PUT CORK IN BOTTLE. Exit and go to the GARAGE.

Go to the DESK and LOOK at the OLD PAPERS. GET the BILL (marked with "Police"). Return to the desk and LOOK IN the BENCH and GET the SPANNER. Go to the car in back and PUSH the RED BUTTON to ACTIVATE the HYDRAULIC-LIFT. Get under the car and CLEAN SUMP NUT and then TURN SUMP NUT to open it. Now PUT OILSTONE IN OIL and GET OILSTONE.

Now go to ROSE COTTAGE and you'll find a ROBE in the BEDROOM WARDROBE. CLICK on the FRUITS in the living room, and a NOTE'll appear (marked with "Police"). Return to the PUB again and wait until it's 18:00 hours, then SLEEP.

Day 4

Go down to the bar and WAIT until the bar opens, when you'll receive a kind of PHOTOBOOK from Mrs. Jones. GET the PHOTOS and give'em to the POLICEMAN. The police should now have control of all your opponents. Don't take the CERTIFICATE.

Return to the PUB to INVENTORY SUIT, SHOES, RAINCOAT, OILSTONE, SLEDGEHAMMER, ROBE, BOTTLE, and MUZZLE. REMOVE HANDLE FROM MUZZLE. Put MUZZLE back into the WARDROBE. Go to the MANOR HOUSE and WAIT until 23:00 hours. Now Go to the front of the house and go WEST to the MAUSOLEUM. HIT MAUSOLEUM WITH HAMMER to enter.

Now GET the AXE, PUT the HANDLE ON the AXE, and SHARPen the AXE WITH the OILSTONE. WEAR the ROBE. MOVE the COFFIN and go down. Go to the door and wait. TWO ACOLYTES arrive from the room shortly after 12:00 hours. CLICK on the door when they have gone.

When you arrive in the other room immediately HIT ACOLYTE WITH AXE. When the you see the message "YOU REALIZE THAT THE CHIEF ACOLYTE IS YOUR FATHER", hit the 'RETURN' key. You're now standing in front of the DEVIL HIMSELF! Quickly HIT DEVIL WITH BOTTLE. The end.
