Finally, tie the cord or the rope (whichever is still in your inventory) to the one you've already tied to the hose. With this long, improvised rope trailing from the cutting torch, you can simply go "down" to finish the game.</details>]] |background2>[<u>''Investigation Clues:''</u> <details><summary>''(Spoilers!)''<span class="icon">▼</span></summary> |background>[<details><summary>''Grinding Floor''<span class="icon">▼</span></summary>\ * Taste the candy cigarette: the blue liquid on it is blueberry flavour. * Taste (or eat) Mayor McFreeze: he is blue raspberry flavour. * Open the flap pockets of Mayor McFreeze's suit and examine the suspicious note inside: he was called here at 8pm, a full three hours before you arrived.</details>] |background>[<details><summary>''Factory Office''<span class="icon">▼</span></summary>\ * Lick or smell the swivel chair: it bears the distinctive scent of Mint Humbug, a rival private eye. * Examine the Polaroid photo in the desk drawer: it shows that Mayor McFreeze was cheating on his wife. * Examine (or taste, or smell) the candy cigarette butts in the desk drawer: they suggest Mint Humbug was here for an extended period of time. * Examine the peel-off films: they suggest more photos were taken, and presumably delivered to someone else.</details>] |background>[<details><summary>''Boiling Floor''<span class="icon">▼</span></summary>\ * Examine the crumpled note in the vat: it suggests that Mayor McFreeze was here for pleasure rather than business on at least one other occasion. * Examine, taste, smell, or eat the edible panties in the vat: these provide further evidence that Mayor McFreeze was not here on business.</details>]</details>]
