But what is the deal with that house?!

So there's already quite a bit of information about Scratches by now... but there's something many have been wondering that hasn't been revealed yet: what is going to happen inside that house? Even though we never gave details, some have already decided the house is haunted with the usual share of ghosts - well, think twice ;D

(mind you, I'm not ruling out the possibility of a ghost here - it may be a ghost after all... among other things ::))

Anyway, there will be a recurring theme in Scratches, the spine of the story that ties everything, past and present. At some point, Michael will have to make a stand and face an unspeakable horror. But what... what? The clues are there actually... right from the first teaser... or was it the other way? Whatever, I'm going to leave you two hints. Two hints that will give you two words. Those words will tell you what is apparently causing problems in the Blackwood estate and will eventually turn Michael's stay into a living hell. Even that, though, is barely scratching the surface ;)


Hint one:
And... the first clue lies east of our home!

Hint two:
It is in the subject of the second trip to a certain piece of land where you will find the second clue. And Ximian is a pretty decent e-mail client too!


They're too darn easy ;D

I'm counting on some maniac living in the basement. It's always scarier if it's a real human than a phantom or otherwise.

Are they so obscure?! :o

I have no idea what clue #2 is about...

Yeah, and I don't know directions as far as North/South in the game either :P maybe you can say which direction the road is from the house or something.

You're not supposed to solve them anyway :P

Hhmmm... Ximian... simian...

Disco: I said "our home" - not Michael's ;)

Not everyones house is the same though :D. I suppose it can be something east of everyones house, but suppose that some people live more east than that? Maybe I do not understand :P.

Our home - we developers ;D

So what's east of Argentina? Africa... or is that too far east?

OK, about the second clue, think adventure games.

It's really easy!

Oh, so it is that...

Ok, that's defiinitely unexpected! ;D

Hey, my name is kinda relevant then. :D But that's probably way too obscure.

i have a very good idea of what's happening in that house! i could be wrong of course, but i'm not revealing anything! ;D
