You will need to google something at one point in the game

Great, there goes my entire night.

Wow, that hurts! Kind of like the old game Myst.

I was stuck forever at 12 items, but finally got it. Thanks for the Google tip.

Did you leave your email address?

Odd, the game is crashing my computer. Seems to be quickly draining my resources, slowing my machine to a crawl. Did that in IE, just plain old killed Netscape after 10 minutes. Odd...

Just have to play fast, I guess.

Ahhhh crap I knew I should have searched for 'Frustrating Japanese puzzle' :P

Anyway have a go at the sequel
and the blue chamber

Yup. Continues to be a stupid puzzle. I love the way once you get the safe open, if you look away, it closes and you have to sit thru the damn video again.

The sequel would probably be easier if I could read Japanese.

Okay, I finished the Viridian Room one and played it again to see if I could get a different outcome. When I played it the second time, the text was in English. What's the deal with that?

On the other hand, the "game" was more of the same. At least it didn't have the problem of resetting states, or clicking on arbitrary points. But it did have similar problems with it being difficult to find stuff that should be easy to find and with having to do things in a specific order dictated only by the game's unwritten rules and not based on any logic, internal or external.

At least the ending is even less satisfying.

I can't help but keep thinking about this. Allthough it's much more upbeat

What's it called when I use the link I get an error.

Weird, it works fine for me. It's just the AllGame.com listing for Silent Hill 4.

Ahh ok. Now it works for me of coure before I was getting an error about my ip being banned for some reason.
