Maze help

[svguerin3]

Am I the only one who is having trouble getting through the maze? I've spent hours trying every "algorithm" I can try, but it is just an endless click routine.. Not much fun anymore, and I'm losing my steam (the original game at least gave a map on the carpet, but I've searched everywhere with no avail for the same in this game.. Disappointing, as I'd hoped that would be a hidden gem somewhere).

I don't see anywhere else people are posting this, so I must be missing something obvious. I read there are clues in the maze on how to proceed, but all I see are random skulls, nooses, and some candles/symbols, etc.. Not sure what to gather from those.

I'd certainly like to proceed with the game, as I'm an avid fan of the past games and eager to continue.. Any suggestions?

I ended up cheesing it and mapping it. I didn't find a single hot clue in the maze. I honestly think the best way to do the maze yourself is to draw it on graphing paper. It's too large to do by brain.

The exact way out is forward three, left nine, right two, right, left two, right two, left, left four, right four, left two, right two, right three, left, left six, right four, right, left, right, left twice, right eight, right, left, right. There's a doll arm on the ground, pick it up.

And if you're looking for extras, there's a name in the last few squares of the maze - check the walls.

The maze is probably the worst part of the game, honestly.

I just used the same right wall technique I used in the 7th Guest. Took me an hour, but it got me through. I had to actually turn right at each step though because I had trouble telling from the side view if there was a tunnel to the right.

In fact the map of the maze exists somewhere in the house (I've just found it right now), it's been added in the last update (v.1.1).

Yes finally a hint was added in the house. It's fairly easy to find. Was the most frustrating part for me.

For me it's the perfect time, since I've just started Tad's path after Richmond's.

I've also noticed a picture of on an old woman sitting in a chair was added on the right side of the wall when facing the Music room doors in the Foyer.

And from time to time a second child bicycle appears upstairs just between Burden's room and the exit of the stairs.

I mapped it before the hint was added. On the one hand, a maze can be kind of a cool feature, especially when there are props added. On the other, I wish there was some deeper puzzle in it. At first I thought the props were symbols giving me some sort of directions, because Tad literally says something like "This should be easy,,," What cruel joke! Lol.
