Really fun game! I played this on a stream of horror rail shooters, and it was one of my favorites. Thanks for making it!

Hello Blackmoth!
I forgot to reply and say thank you so much for the hints. I'm embarrassed I didn't think to combine the tome with the note.
I've kept playing and over the last couple of months and eventually got one of the endings--not the best one, I'm sure. It's a really neat game, with some tough puzzles. It's so long and involved, with an interesting story and fun cinematic platformer gameplay. It must be hard for games to get discovered on Itch (it was lucky that I found it), especially years after their release.
Had you all ever thought about recording a longplay of it? I'd be curious to see all seven endings.
Appreciate you making the game and releasing it as freeware!
No worries, and thank you so much! I've unlocked most of the doors. The only key I don't have is for the door in the upper left of the second floor (the bedroom, which I assume gives access to the attic). I haven't fixed the lift yet and haven't found the codes to the two doors with electronic locks. I've found the zhogtk in the library, but I assume I'm not able to get rid of it yet.
It's probably something obvious enough that I just keep missing. Really appreciate any hints you have!
This game is great. Thank you for making it, and for uploading it here! I first played it probably in high school, maybe on Newgrounds. Then it was one of the early games I played on Twitch (off the Pinhead Games CD-ROM). Took me a while to figure out a couple of the puzzles, and it still makes me laugh!
