All I remember are airbags appearing everywhere around me and waiting for the final impact before I die. The front part of the car was completely ripped away - engine and everything else around it was gone. And all I got was a small wound at the knee! German car manufacturers ftw!

:shock: :shock: :shock:
HOLY CRAP!

Wow, that's amazing, and I hope nothing like that happens ever again! Very glad you're still with us :)

I'm sure you found the first key lying on the floor.

The second key is in a secret area, which can be opened with a (large, so it's easier to fnd) secret button. The button is almost opposite of the southern lever gate.

You used to be a revered Grimrock modder....
Until you took a car accident in the knee!

Seriously though, so glad you're alright. Here's hoping you can nab the guy who hit you and collect good on insurance.
Hope your knee recovers all right o:

Wow, few posts on forums really stand out, but that one sure did. Scary and fantastic at the same time. Good to hear it ended quite well, considering.

Thanks for the nice words! Damn, I have a knee wound and didn't make a 'I used to be a ... once until I took an arrow to the knee' joke. Now that my adrenaline level is down I feel a bit mangled today, but at least I'm certified sick for the rest of the week.

Now let's talk about modding again!

And Phitt's next mod will feature an NPC with a bad knee. :)

I'm glad you're not too too shook up.
If you want something to do aside from your current projects, statues and corpses (skeletal or fleshy) are in high demand at the moment!

Phitt. This is just an amazing dungeon. I have played for four hours. Had to start over several times. Still dinking around on level two.
Love the puzzles.... Now I wonder if I made my dungeon too easy.

ARGH!!
Very frustrated and not sure what is going on. I am stuck on the first puzzle even after seeing someone on youtube get through. What am I doing wrong? I love the look and am excited to seemore but this one 3 by three room is getting boring. :(
