Walkthrough

A step-by-step walkthrough to finishing A Wolf in Autumn. No spoilers.

Outside

This is a very quick, no frills, no spoiler guide. It takes you through the quickest way, despite multiple tools being able to accomplish the same thing. Though there's not much to the game, feel free to explore and take in this wonderful story.

Once in control, turn around. Take the metal scissors from the box. Use them on the rope hanging from the ceiling of the shed to cut the key. Drop the scissors and pick up the key. Use the key on the lock to the right of the door. Drop the key and use the door to open it and head outside.

Run to the flashing light and use the switch to listen to some dialog. After the dialog, run to the table at the far left (where the candle is). Pick up the wire cutters. Run back to the shed, but go to the one on the left side. Use the wire cutters on the chain, then drop them. Run back to the machine in the middle and use the switch to listen to another message.

Run back to the same table at the far left and pick up the lighter, then return to the second shed. Use the lighter on the rope, then drop it. Open the shed door, pick up a screwdriver, and run back to the machine in the middle. Drop the screwdriver, then use the machine to listen to another message.

Pick up the screwdriver, go to the right to the panel. Use the screwdriver on the panel, then drop the screwdriver. Use the valve that was behind the panel. Turn around and head toward the large structure by following the pipe.

Use the two yellow arrows on the piece that's jutting out (it has pipes connected on three sides). Use them so that the top arrow points to the sheds, and the bottom arrow points to the piece with the valve you turned.


Turn to your left and go to the wooden door leading to the basement. Use the little circular icon on the left side to head into the basement.

Basement

Once in the basement, run forward toward the light, and pick up the flashlight from on top of the dresser. Turn around and run to the flashing light, drop the flashlight, then use it to listen to another message.

Pick up the flashlight, turn around 180, and go to the wall to the right of the doorway; use the valve on the pipe here (drop the flashlight first). Look up on the wall to the left, use the switch. Pick up the flashlight, go down the hallway toward the safe and open it. On the wall to the left is another switch; drop the flashlight and use it, then pick up a fuse from inside the box.

Turn around, go back to the main room and go to the right. Above the box with the two red lights you'll see a switch. Use the fuse on this switch. Turn around, go back to the dresser where the flashlight was, and open the drawer closest to the floor (bottom drawer). Take the hammer. Go back down the small hallway toward the safe, and use the hammer on the wooden plank on the door on the right. Drop the hammer, get your flashlight, then enter the room.

Read the note on the left (if you want), then drop the flashlight in the room. Go back to the main room and use the machine to listen to another message.

After the message, go back to the dresser and take the screwdriver from the open drawer (should still be the bottom one). Return to the small room where you left the flashlight and use the screwdriver on the safe on the table. Drop the screwdriver, open the safe, and take the glass object. Return to the main room and use the glass object on the piece in the middle.


Return to the room with the safe and take the wrench from the table. Go back to where you just inserted the glass object, and use the wrench on the pipe on the bottom right. The lights to the left, near the door, should now turn green. Drop the wrench and use the door to enter the room.

Don't worry about the dog. Pick up the lighter from the chair, and go to the back left. Drop the lighter and use the pink item on the pedestal, then get the lighter again. Leave this room, go left, then go left again down the now darkened hallway. You can either go get your flashlight from the other room, or just flick the lighter for light.

Follow this hallway all the way down, navigating your way through the various wood planks. Drop the lighter in the lit area, and pick up the flashlight, then continue making your way. Eventually you'll run into a wall that just appears. Turn around and head toward the machine that's rising and lowering.

Go to the right of the machine and use the item on the pedestal. Now, go to the other side of the machine and you'll see a hall blocked off. To the right of the hallway are a pair of hedge clippers. Pick them up and use them on each of the four strands blocking your way.


Walk through the hallway and continue following it around. You can either stand in place or constantly follow the neverending hallway; once the mother finishes speaking and you hear an alarm clock go off, the game will be over. You'll see some screens of dialog, followed by an ending, and that's that.

@R. Order Thanks so much!

The second screwdriver wasn't in the bottom drawer in the basement - it was on the wooden chair near the oil drums

[R. Order]

That's not a bug. The author forgot to mention that in a basement, after you put the glass object into a hole and used wrench on a pipe, you need to go back to previous location and to switch the yellow arrows of the piece that controls water flow. After you find a right combination, you will be allowed to return to basement, and the lights will be green.

Well! my head isn't moving, i.e- i can't look around

[Dave B]

@MW2K there's a hard to see valve on the pipe to the right of the device you placed the glass block over . If you are trying to turn the square under the glass block you're trying to turn the wrong thing.

[MW2K]

Ditto, using the wrench on the valve doesn't do anything. Lights stay red.

[Nyx]

Same, can't get the lights to turn green even though i've done everything

[signalstation]

The basement red lights won't turn green for some reason, even though I seem to have met the prerequisites. Maybe I hit a bug.

[Rux]

Ug the pipe isnt working

[CreepyCanuck]

@Zombiecamel: No problem, glad it helped!
