Tips
- If you were so slow that you fell into the hands of Scissorman, do not panic. Your cursor will flash red and blue - which means you are almost dead. Immediately start pressing the "panic" button and you will be able to escape.
- Sometimes the number of tap (cursor clicks) in relation to a character or subject can change the storyline. For example, depending on how many times you speak with Harris, the character you play will change. Talk once and play for Helen; twice - and you will play for Jennifer. And click many times - you can get out of a difficult situation.
