Hey, kinda cool…if you click on the hole in the door on the left where there should be a door knob, you can see into the “Crimson Room.” WILL THE MADNESS NEVER STOP?! :eek: And I’m kinda ashamed to admit it, but I started when I found the skeleton. _Creepy._ ---

> [@BluMoon](#): > > Okay guys, any hints!??! > > I am stuck! Heeelp! > > am I supposed to understand what the guy is saying when I open the door? No. I am sure that he is saying something interesting (and probably in chinese or Japanese) but it makes no difference to the game. ---

Okay, so I wandered around the room and collected two photos, some hair, a bunch of papers with chinese writing on them, a can of beer, and a medicine bottle with two pills in it. Also, I apparently still have the empty CD case from the crimson room. What the f\*\*\* am I supposed to do with all this stuff? ---

> [@Dragwyr](#): > > It appears to be down at the moment. You want to hear something fucked up? It loaded the first screen for me (the ceiling with the lightbulb and junk), but didn’t load anything else. So I sat there for like 10 minutes clicking shit thinking to myself, “I know I’m not stupid! Other people on this thread are finding stuff!”. Finally, I tried to reload the page and it was down. Kind of a relief. ---

I looked at this yesterday but couldn’t find the link to the Crimson Room on that site… am I missing something obvious? ---

Alright, is this some kind of joke? I get to the screen with the text “Successfully getting out of the Crimson Room…yadda yadda yadda”, and when the text is done, the box is completely black. Is it supposed to be like that or am I supposed to see something?

Is it supposed to be like that or am I supposed to see something? I had that problem too, it just wouldn’t load. I just kept refreshing and trying again, eventually you’ll get a “loading” screen after the yadda yadda. I finished it, but I cheated and got hints. :o Very interesting, but really creepy ending. ---

I’ve finished it…and I’ll say just this: DON’T take the beer from the fridge until you get the message that there’s still one thing missing. The beer needs to be as cold as possible for the solution to work. You can put the beer back in the fridge after taking it out, if you need to, but it’s better to leave the beer in the fridge. Oh, hell, I’ll say something else. Sometimes you have to perform an action more than once. ---
