I'm done now, great demo!

Spoiler below!

Like everyone else I liked the general idea of being a servant. But: Maybe I was too stupid or didn't read the notes carefully enough but it wasn't clear to me what I had to do as this servant. I remember finding a note in the beginning that assigned different tasks to different servants. Also, i had no clue that I would have to click the bed in order to sleep and make progress. I only found out via the forum. Each day I just searched the rooms for stuff to find etc and found all but one door locked so it was obvious where I had to go. Where there notes for each day telling me what to do? Was I just too blind?

Anyways, i really enjoyed the whole Workshop section. the long loading time rewards the player with a huge several stories map that is very creepy imho. I had one more small "problem" here. I went to get the hardener from the room with the charging monster and i also had the key for the toolshed. So I made my way to the stairs to get to the toolshed. Now at the bottom of the stairs, the room where the saw sound came from was open. I could walk in there and see the saw with the body parts. Since there was nothing to do I went up to get the hammer etc.
Later I went back down to get the chemical pot and the chemicals. This time the saw door was locked again with the sewing sound coming from it. I then mixed the chemicals and made my way past the saw door - when the monster came out for this last chasing scene (which was very well done imho!).
To cut a long story short: I think the room should not have been open that first time I went by it. Or was that intentional?

All together it was great fun to play this, keep up the good work!
