At last I've managed to make some progress in the game! Found the old safe and its "combination," but alas, it won't open. Read some interesting notes in the pigeonholes back of the registration desk. Hmmm. "A.V." must be Andrew Verney. Had he received his note on time he perhaps would have been saved, but we know he's a ghost from the first game. Anyway, the note's still in the pigeonhole. Poor Andy.

I love seeing reminders of the first game. The ink-stained blotter is still there. The safe is an old friend. Gave me fits the first time, too.
Also, I have a largish round metal ring with symbols on it. One of them matches up with the first page of the library book. The book now has two more pages, but those symbols aren't on this disc. From that I bet I'll be finding more metal rings. Perhaps they'll all fit together? Presumably I got these from the game with Amy, but I quit right after that and don't really remember.
Wandered up to the 1st floor but couldn't get into the rooms (I must remember that there is the ground floor, then the 1st, 2nd, etc.). Tried the 2nd floor but don't have the key needed. Tried the 3rd floor and got killed.
Couldn't do anything more in the hotel, so I decided to go wandering. Aha! Echo makes contact! Echo seems to be not a very nice little ghost. She (I think of Echo as female) tried to get me killed.
Anyway, somehow I finished the TV puzzle in Room 1A, after Echo unlocked the door for me, although not before getting killed a couple of times. Very nice, very scary effect. Really don't know how I solved that puzzle. It just worked an instant before the monster got me for the third time. Interesting video of, apparently, me and Mr. Bones (who looks awfully young in the video--doesn't match the voice on the tape).
Also, I've spotted some definate clues on the walls of room 1A. There are eyes with numbers in them and different objects associated with them: a magnifying glass (the inspector?), bones (Mr. Bones, obviously), and birds. I thought at first that might lead me to a different combination for the safe (substitute number three for number four, etc.), but if so I haven't figured it out yet and I think that idea isn't right. Either I'm screwing up the safe puzzle as I screwed up the can 'n bones puzzle, or I need something else.
But for now, even with all my nice shiny new clues, I'm stuck again. I went wandering to all my old haunts (heh) hoping that Echo would come for me again, but nope.
So, tomorrow, I go over every inch of the hotel and click on stuff. There has to be something I've missed. I'm pretty confident that I've found everything outside.
I still need scissors. They have to be close.
