How can I enter the Investment Office?
You'll have to get rid of the aliens blocking the entrance first.
--
You wouldn't normally want them to notice you, but you have to lead them away somehow.
--
They're too engrossed in whatever they're doing to notice you. You'll need to make some big noise.
--
Come back after you've found and navigated the catacombs.
--
Have you found the airhorn in the boat in the secret cove at the end of the catacombs?
--
Use the AIRHORN on the aliens to attract their attention.
--
You now have some time to decide what to do as the humanoid tries to tell the alien dog about you. (You'll find that the humanoid forgets about you if you stray too far.)
--
Once you have attracted his attention with the airhorn, enter the EMPTY HOUSE behind him.
--
If you look behind you, the alien is at the door, following you. The only way is forward.
--
Use your FLASHLIGHT on the darkness to turn it on.
--
You'll need to somehow circle around the aliens and come back out, leaving them inside.
--
Go forward, forward and right. You are now faced with a closed door. If you look behind you, the aliens are only a step behind.
--
Tap the FIREPLACE to keep moving.
--
What a pretty mantel, but something is a little off.
--
Press the TILE that is turned differently than the rest.
--
As the secret passage closes behind you, you are now safe from the aliens, but you're still trapped.
--
Find a way to open another secret passage and get out of there.
--
Once you've done that, you're back downstairs. Go left and turn around to exit the Empty House, with the aliens still safely confused inside it.
--
The Investment Office is now accessible. (So is the Veg Shop. Nothing you find in there is vital at this point, but it's fun to explore.)
