Walkthrough: The Last Door | Season 1 | Chapter 1: The Letter

NOTES


- I've played the online version of the game in Firefox 31.0.

- Game link: https://thelastdoor.com/index.php/chapter/1

- The game is stable and I experienced no crashes / bugs.

- All activities involve only left-clicking.

- Progress is mostly linear. You CAN do some activities in a different order than I have noted.

- The + crosshairs change to a magnifying glass over hotspots.

- After observing, some objects can be collected when the cursor changes to a hand icon.

- The inventory is present at the bottom of the screen.

- Objects in the inventory can be combined with each other.

- To use an inventory object:
-- Left click to select it
-- Left click on a screen hotspot / another inventory object
-- The object gets an yellow outline where it can potentially be used
-- Wrong matches are indicated with a red X.

- Use the lens in the inventory to get descriptions of inventory objects.

- Inventory items are removed after use.

- Double click exits to leave a scene instantly.

- Listen carefully to Devitt's comments for clues and hints.

- Click on dialogue boxes to proceed further.

- There is no hotspot revealer. Browse the screen for hotspots.

- Chapter 1 has only Devitt and no conversations.

- Chapter 1 has only inventory-based puzzles.

- Special keys:
-- 1: To enable dyslexia-friendly font
-- 2: To enable sound descriptions (appears at the top of the screen)
-- 3: Fullscreen mode

- Progress is autosaved.

- Pressing the CROSS at the top right of the screen exits the game.

- Reloading the game gives options to resume from last autosave point, or start afresh.

- Closing the browser window is okay; game can be relaunched and reloaded as usual.

- Shutting down the PC will need the game to be loaded from scratch.
