Tomb Raider (VI): The Angel of Darkness (2003)

Need help exiting the clock after I (correctly) set it in The Monstrum Crimescene mission
Hi, anyone knows how to switch back to controlling Lara after I set it to 3 o'clock?
This is the problem with all doors with codepads there: if you don't know correct code you have to Alt+Tab the game then finish the task / program via Windows explorer or sometimes task manager. I couldn't exit those codepads, I can't exit this grandfather clock right now and believe me I've tried all the keys, even tried holding them down for some time to see if it's gonna work.
Funny thing is: I was sure I was screwed up exactly the same way when I looked at Louvre rooms via cameras then I accidentally found out that crouch button works here (IE exits cameras & lets me switch back to controlling Lara).

Well lack of complete control tutorial is the main disadvantage of the game IMHO, it's not the control scheme that really bothers me (after TR Legend + Underworld) but very short tour of all the available features.
For example I had to find out all by myself how to enter inventory when I really had to use a medkit LOL, then I discovered how arming a weapon / shooting works and later on I found out that there're also melee attacks & stealth kills (BTW I've not performed a single one of the latter... yet). In Von Croy's apartment I had to consult a walkthrough yet again to get to know that there's such a thing as commando crawl which was absolutely required to pass some lasers unharmed. Well you get the idea...

Later!

Yes, I don't recall exactly which key is it. Spacebar maybe? Try those too: backspace, enter, delete, or numpad 0.
I think it's one of those.

All of the early TR games have a "player manual" that is useful to read before playing.
Links to an electronic copy of the manual (in .pdf format) can be found on the Steam Library detail view page, or by right-clicking on the game, or on the Properties window.

It gives explanations of most controls, including using inventory, weapons, specific movements and attacks, stealth, and commando crawls.

One thing that is not mentioned in the manual is how to exit from "codepads":
Press "Enter" (default key for Select / Stealth).

Thanks man, Enter worked! And of course I meant to say "keypad", not "codepads".
Bye!
