Trapped in a room with no obvious way of escape? A familiar story which you'll be used to by now, but you love it, I know you do. Nightmare Escape might follow a tried and tested point'n'click storyline, but those bloody foot-prints on the floor suggest you really should try to get out as soon as possible, and judging by the fact that at least half the people that have submitted this have admitted they're doing so as they're stuck and need help, it might not be as easy as you would wish [subbed by hewitt, jack, gordon & chun].

Nameless Bloke
:Darn, why did I have to look at the new posts on the other games before I posted!
Zeb
:Stuck...
Come on people, get it finished so you can tell me how to, and I can pretend I've done it myself...
Gordon
:finished yesterday, but with some help from forums. Click everywhere! use every tool everywhere! follow the footprints! Don't panic when the screwdriver breaks.
Coelacanth
:Ok, I have a stick, rope, and magnet which combined to make a "kind os magnetic fishing rod. I also have a bottle that I need to get the cork out of and a piece of paper that says "666?". I think the fishing rod needs to be used in the grat but i can't make it work, and I have no idea how to remove the cork. Stuck!
Gordon
:cork will come later. the magnic pole works in another hole other than the grate
Gordon
:get the password right and you'll find the other hole.
Nameless Bloke
:SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
There's a towel under the shelves along with a code input box thing
CJ
:What'S the password?
Babuga
:ok, found walkthru spoiler. Dont click till you try. I mean it. i did all of it yesterday, and the coin part is the hardest to figure out. good luck
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
*****SPOILER *****
- Click on message on wall.
- Click on opening beside message and get the rope.
- Click right below slanted corner and get the piece of paper. Notice square.
- Click lower left corner three times and get the wine bottle and magnet from the shelves.
- Click lower left corner and get the wood leaning beside cabinet.
- Click lower left and notice message in frame and the grill beside it.
- Now go back to the shelves and click once to zoom in then click right below bottom shelf.
- Take the towel and answer the question: "What do I search?" - see the contents of the piece of paper? 666? And the number sign behind message in frame? The answer is "666 is the number of the ...beast. Enter "beast" and click the circle next to the square where you entered your answer. It will groan that you are correct.
- Now exit that screen and go back to the opening in the wall.
- Go check the square and you will find that it is opened. So now, from your inventory, click on the stick, then the rope, then the magnet, in that order.
- Once the items are all combined go "back" and click the black square opening and then the newly constructed item and a key will appear in your inventory.
- Go to the screen with the cabinet and click on it to zoom in then click the key and the doors will unlock and open.
- Get from in there a box of matches, a saw, pliers and a screwdriver.
- Now go to the screen with the shelves and zoom in. click on the saw and you will get another piece of wood in your inventory.
- Now for the tricky part. Go back to the screen with the message "YOU ARE THE NEXT" on the wall. If you click on the "O" in YOU, you will receive another flashing message, saying "FOLLOW ME!!!". Here you must simply follow the footprints around the room, moving left. Go around three FULL times, using that initial screen as your starting point. On the third round, click again on the "O" and as the flashing message appears you will hear a coin drop. It is now in your inventory.
- Now go to the screen where the grill is and click on it. Once it has zoomed in click on the coin and this will remove the grill part, leaving a screw in your inventory.
- Click on the wine bottle, then the screw then the pliers. This will remove the cork.
- After putting the bottle back into inventory click the piece of wood, then the towel then the bottle and then, lastly, the matches. This will create a makeshift torch for you to enter into the opening with. Put it back into inventory.
- Click the hole then the torch and enter. Happy escaping!!!
(I didn't bother mentioning the screwdriver again once it was found because it doesn't really do anything. What actually happens is once you get it you think you can use it to remove the grill part but it falls inside and disappears. You don't retrieve it therefore it's purpose is useless.)

Nameless Bloke
:Thanks Babuga!
Debra
:I think that bashing things with the stick ought to be an option. If I find a big stick and I'm trapped in a room, I'd try smashing through that cabinet-thing. And also the grating. I mean, really, when we're frightened, what do we do? Smash things!
Fun game, though.
Adam
:What a crappy ending! I was hoping for something a bit more along the lines of Saw. At least I have the Jamie Kane Game (www.bbc.co.uk/jamiekane) to keep me happy!
COME ON GRAEME! POST A LINK TO IT!
Singinbabe
:there's two pieces of wood?! i only got one...
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
the one by the cabinet thing with the tools and the matches!!

Phunky
:That was ok, pretty difficult. Have to admit I did need a bit of help. But only cause I didn't want to be up too late struggling with it :P Honest :P
(maybe I'm just not cut out to be a hard-core point 'n' clicker ;) )
Adam
:GRAEME!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE POST THE JAMIE KANE LINK!!! I IMPLORE YOU!! IT IS SUCH A GOOD GAME!!!!
Fluffeeder
:cool game - not madly hard - just a bit challenging.
Thanks

:Babuga, nice walkthrough. and if you figured all that out yourself, you're a genius.
for those of us who aren't geniuses, here are some...
MINIMAL HINTS
* to read the screen (red letters on black background), click and hold to one side of the letters and run your cursor over the letters.
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
there are comments about the different items you get in your inventory.
* search like mad.
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
or use the Tab key.
* you can easily find three things, and three more not quite so easily.
* when you find a blinking message, take its advice
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
three times, and then look at the message again.
(how the hell you're supposed to know to do this is beyond me.)
* following the instructions (below the game), combine one pair of items, and then combine another item with that. combine by clicking on the thing you want to add something TO, and then on the thing you want to add.
* the password isn't really an answer to the question -- maybe the question should be
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
"What do I search for?" or better yet, "What have I found?"
in any case, the password is
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
related to the note
* after you enter the password,
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
read the comment underneath the screen
* there are four things in the cabinet.
* after you use the coin,
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
you get something, but it appears exactly where the coin was, so you may not notice you got it.
* now you're basically done: just
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
combine things, until
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
you've combined everything, and then
* use what you've got
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
right here, for some reason.
Diggity
:Figuring out the password threw me for a loop. And then the message on the wall as well I didn't notice the
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
III meant 3 times around
Besides that, the game was fairly simple.
Tafkam
:language, language!
to combine, click on the one you want to combine things WITH, and then on the one you want to ADD.
to use, be in the spot where you can use it, and click on the tool -- it won't show up in the close-up, instead it will do its work and vanish from your inventory.
Stationary
:I love how they say "combinate things." Also, REALLY FRUSTRATING INTERFACE AGH. They should have just gone with the time-proven method of making it in your choice of Japanese or French so I can blame my ineptness on something.
Tafkam
:rofl.
or just do what i do and ignore the clues -- e.g. things written on the walls in BLOOD for god's sake, heaven only knows what i thought they were doing there, just decoration maybe. then it's totally not my fault that i can't figure them out. "you're actually supposed to pay attention to that?"
and there's something about a password that freezes my brain solid. as if it's labelled "no rational way to figure this out, look for walkthrough now."
Jackie Carranco
:Thanks for having this site. I love the games and nordinho looks like it has disappeared. I so love to play the point and click games. I'm home alone alot and the computer keeps me company. Thanks again and this game was really fun. I enjoyed it bunches.....Jackie
Tafkam
:this is a wonderful site. AND Nordinho is back, but with a different address -- substitute ".net" for ".com"
(see the thread on the Lazylaces homepage for more info)
Magpie
:man...that was so illogical. at least i think it was. maybe im only meant to play the nesquik game..
Tafkam
:i know the feeling, but after i finished it (with the help of the walkthrough) and read people's explanations, it actually DOES make sense.
not that i would have figured it out on my own...
but then, i had a hard time with the Nesquik game.
everything happened so FAST (as the snail who got mugged by two turtles told the police, when they asked him if he could identify his assailants)
Wraithform
:Jamie Kane is a great single player ARG. I just beat it recently and I'm getting ready to go through it a second time.
Drumstyx
:i got a corked bottle, some matches, some pliers, and something that resembles a torch, but i dont know what to do next. im guessing i can open the wine and pour it on the torch or something? id like a small hint, and i dont want to look at the walkthru
Drumstyx
:nm i guess i needed the screwdriver but i broke it. ill just start over
Drumstyx
:wow DUMB ending
HB
:Thank you BABUGA for the walk through. I referred this game (there were others also) to this site with the hope that someone would do what you did. I was stumped on the other site and needed help. I'm still amazed at the problem solving abilities that you and others apparently possess.
My hat is off to you!
Think~Pink
:I thought I was doing really well and felt extremely pleased with myself, because I managed to figure out the password by myself.
However, my smug satisfaction was soon shattered and I was left wandering around the room like a caged lion, trying to figure out what to do next.
I found the 'o', (having resorted to using the tab button), but like someone else said, didn't make the connection with the 3 lines, (I thought they were scratches or something).
Anyway, that is where I had to resort to help and found out what I had to do. The rest was plain sailing.
The interface was a little irritating at times, but a decent game overall, if a little short. Thanks :o)
Valentina
:fourth!!!
Murtaugh
:OMG
That was a crappy ending or what!
You guys rule at those things, I'd never get through that game by myself.
oh well, back to preparing submachine2
*must think of harder puzzles*
:D
*harder I said!!!!*
Pointandclicker
:Yo, I still prefer the comment style and contents of <a href="http://www.lazylace.com">lazylaces</a> or <a href="http://home.scarlet.be/~bbonte/index_en.html">bartenste</a>. I don't like the comment style of <a href="http://www.nordinho.net">nordinho</a>. So, now you know heheh ;p
Spacey
:That game hurt my brain..and it took me ages.... I got through it using a very good mindless clicking technique!
Elen
:i cant find the matches!!!!!!! i have looked in the cupboard..........
Tafkam
:look higher in the cupboard
I am mary! flee!
:that was actually a pretty crap game, especially the ending
FredFlinstone
:I'll tell you what, has the class of the "escape the room" type and the eerie feel of the horror, but also makes you use your brain some. All the elements are here except the cool ending, but then again there aren't too many cool endings in Point 'N' Click games ;)
Phoenix
:dude, what's up with the creepyesque point and clicks? oh well, they're fun though. XD
Phoenix
:weird ending...
Jennifer
:i hate endings like that :/
Chubi
:Grrrrrr I can't do anything ... I find the magnetic rode or what...and the towel...but now???...Ugghhh O_o
Besides I can't use the things X)))
Resse
:hmm...
