Welcome to Countdown! A great new game by Access software...This is the first solve I've
ever written, so bear with me through this...This will tell you ALL you need to know to
win the game and get out of those impossible situations...Read On....
            -->Sunburst


General Hints:
    Talk to everybody about everything (except the guards in the hall)! It matters
which approaches you     use to get certain information! If one approach doesn't work
try another...It might!

    Save the Game Regularly! ALL THE TIME! I had over 30 saves by the end...Under
different names of     course!

You wake up in a hospital room, knowing nothing of where you are or how you got there...

1) Get the cup on the floor by the sink. Then Get the key at the base of the bed, by
the Right leg. Then get the Wire above the radiator on the window screen!

2) Use the Cup to capture that pesky bug on the right wall! Now, talk to that shadow
that passes by the window periodically.

3) Offer him the bug and he will bring you some food! With the food is a knife...Use
the knife on the window, and before you know it, you can climb out on the ledge...

Now your outside...Open the 2nd window on the right, and come on in! You need to do
several things in the hospital before you can escape...I will list them out for ya...
First off...The hospital is three stories, with a basement that has one door (which
happens to be the door to escape!) You start out on the second floor! Without drawing
a map, I will tell you generally where each item is...

Now my friend will take over, cuz I'm lazy as hell...Hope he can be semi coherent....

1)  Very Important!! at the top right side of the first floor there is a room with a
CPR dummy that looks like you  get the dummy, go back to your room, use it on the bed.
Otherwise the guard will notice that you are missing.

2) then find the scissors the blanket and the hanger on the second floor. Find room
with a picture hanging up. It's actually a cell. Move the picture,...Look a t the
picture, look at the writing on the wall then Move the Pillow and get the Key! The Key
to Escape...On the second floor, there is an awfully cold, naked guy behind some plate
glass...Give im a blanket and talk to him a little...for some info...Use the intercom!

3) On the 1st floor, find the room with the dartboard. Get the scalpel from dartboard.
There are many surgery rooms, one contains a flashlight in a toolbox. One you got the
scalpel, find the sleeping doctor on the 1st floor, and use the scalpel on him! He talks,
and you find out about, among other things, Barney Sachnussen, who escaped before! But,
what is important to find out, is who is trying to get you! Using a certain list of
commands, he will spill his beans to you...The commands are either PLEASANT HASSLE HASSLE
or BLUFF HELP HASSLE HASSLE or something like that...Now....move the books and look at
the safe behind the books! Move the painting on the wall and look at the writing! It is
the combination to the safe!  Open the safe and get the cash!!!! Don't forget the car
keys on the doc's desk...Read the Typewriter and papers too...

4) Go to the third floor, and OPEN the national geographic to read it! Get the crowbar
from same room, and open the crate with Mountain climbin stuff...

4A) Also on third floor in room with lockers, open locker with the key you  found in your
room, then move the towel on the bench, get another key, and open another locker and get
the boots!

    Now go back to the bottom level. Open the door with the key from under the pillow
on the 2nd floor, and enter the labyrinth!!!

Move the rocks, find the pickaxe, and enlarge the hole in the wall! DO NOT FORGET TO CUT
WIRES IN THE SWITCHBOX TO STOP THEM FROM CALLING HELP!

Now go in to the hole...You are in a labyrinth...It's easy, you can find your way yourself...
You come out in a Wine Cellar...

1) Greet your dead friend and look at the wine rack. Look at the plaque and then move the
debris from the bottom right of the wine rack. There are roman numerals. Move the 1st
bottle on the top row, then the 4th on the second row, 3rd on the 3rd row and 3rd on the
4th row! A secret exit appears...Don't forget to open the crates and get the wine there...

2) Go out through the new door. Goto rock on right, and climb! Use your Boots, or just use
the goto command. You climb the cliff to the top. Use the Hook to scale the overhang! Now
your on top and your out of the hospital...Look as the cars....Use the keys you got from
the doctor, and your off! GOODBYE SANCTUARY!
