I have been playing on this same game for 4 days now and as you can see I have collected alot of stuff. I have done everything there is to do and been everywhere there is to go, inside and outside including every square inch of the maze using the maps I found upstairs in the map room. I have collected 3 different keys. I am at a point where I am just stuck. I have been through the house a hundred different times. The antique shop is never open. I can't find the place to dig in the maze (I HATE THAT MAZE). I pushed the red button on the machine upstairs and got transported to the stupid maze and nothing else happened. How can I get the cogwheel for the machine that makes noise? Could you please please help me. All I am doing is going in circles and can not go any further. Thank you so much for your help. I am about ready to give up on this game.
