Okay. It sounds like you need one more in the kitchen/dining hall area, and then you'll be able to continue through to the next area. You may have simply not encountered it yet, or even if you did, it probably gave you some trouble. It's one of the more challenging and specific creatures to progress through so I'm not surprised if players are getting tripped up there.
To get through that particular encounter, you'll want to make sure you are thorough with your observation of the creature before you try any of your other options...
The basement is a mysterious place. The dim lighting, that guard standing watch... Rumors have been spreading among the mansion's guests and residents too...
(Hopefully those hints are enough to get you back on your way and enjoying it again. I tried to give you nudges without totally spoiling exactly what to do. If you still need more help just ask, and I'll be happy to clarify the steps needed.)
I'm glad that was helpful enough for you!
That hot blob is tricky. You'll have to do something you probably weren't expecting, and it's going to involve curiosities for sure. Something to make the heat less intense...
As for the second part you mentioned, the curiosities on the mansion grounds, a little patience will see you through... There are a few folks that sometimes appear in the hedge maze as well with helpful tips if you haven't spoken with them yet.
I just saw your review that you left about a month ago (I never saw any notification that the game had gotten a review, so I must have missed it) and seeing as I have no way to directly contact you or reply to that review, I wanted to post here in the hopes that you see this.
First of all, I apologize for the inconvenience of the situation. It was my understanding that once you claimed the game, you would thus "own" it and it would be available to you regardless of whether or not prices changed in the future. Judging by your frustration in the review you left it seems that was not how it worked, and you lost access to it instead. That was never my intention, so I'm glad you let me know about it in some way at least.
If it helps and you're still interested, you can claim the game for free again until March 31st 2020 as part of the current sale. In the event you happen to see this after the current promotional sale period is over, reach out to me again here in a reply comment and I will try to help.
For clarity purposes I'd just like to add that this game actually started out as paid game with a $5 minimum price, and the demo version was released back during the game's original release as well, and it was only later on that it was moved to a Pay-What-You-Want setup with the demo temporarily removed for a time, as something of an experiment on my part to see if it caught more peoples attention.
At any rate, allow me again to apologize, as I did not know that sort of thing was happening, and to thank you for giving the game a try when you did. I do appreciate everyone who plays the game I spent almost 2 years creating, even if they end up disliking it, that's okay too. I'm thankful for all of it, and all the more so if they are enjoying their time with the game as you seemed to be.
