Scratches

Here's your place to discuss Scratches - a large file horror adventure game.

I've only played the first couple of scenes, and it looks really fun, but the interface is not immediately intuitive, so I have a few tips to get you started:

Before you go searching all over the place for the keys (like I did), Right-click to open your inventory, they are already there

There is a magnifying glass on the left side of the screen, immediately to the left of some inventory objects. To pick up the magnifying glass, left-click on it. While the cursor looks like the magnifying glass, move it over an inventory object, then left-click. The game will provide you with a description of the item.

To pick up an inventory item, simply left-click on it. Right-click once again to close the inventory screen. To use an inventory object with another object in the scene, move the object-cursor until it is located where you would like to use it, then left-click. The game will let you know whether or not the idea you had in mind worked.

The main menu of this point and click horror adventure game has a new game, setup, load, save and quit. The setup menu has hints, surround music, camera speed, text speed, gamma correction and slideshow mode selections. Press ESC to get back to the main menu. There are 10 saved game slots. To save the game, click on a number and then click on 'save'. Press ESC to skip intro and ending!.Director's Cut: Clicking on new game shows a selection for the Director's Cut version or The Last Visit. The Director's Cut is the full game with some revisions. The Last Visit is the additional chapter X years after the ending of the regular full game.

Be sure that you close any additional program before playing the game.

Follow Michael's thoughts by clicking on Michael's Diary that is at top left when the inventory bar is opened.

Right click to open inventory and right click again to close it. To use an item from inventory, click on the item and then right click to close the inventory. The item will now be the cursor and ready to be used on gameplay.

If you need more help look for a walkthrough.

The key doesn't open the door.

It took me forever to figure out how to do anything, I managed to get in the house, answer the phone, and unpack my suitcase. I could only do that with some help from the forum. Most of my 60 min free trial was stuck on credits, beginning and the end, and the intro, neither of which you could skip. Don't think I'll be buying this game.

Hi I canot the key to open the front dooe, I have found the key in the inventory but it just pops back into the inventory when I tried. Also found a web site with the patch but it said it could not find the folder. There is obviously an easy solution if the rest of you have got into the house. I relly want to try this game. Help!!

Hi flyerstar,
don't know if it helps: Take the key from the iventory, click right again and than you have the key. If you have the key, move the cursor with the key near the keyhole until the key looks brighter than before and than click.

I can't find where to put the suitcase? Any help?

If your are in the bedroom (upstairs the first room right) there is a small table on the left side of the desk. Put the suitcase on this table and the typewriter on the desk. Open the suitcase and take out the matches and the pen, read the letter and the book. If you take up the notebook and the calling card Michael will remember the phone-numbers of the secretary and Jerry later.
Hope that helps.
Greetings Ramona
