|| General Information ||
=========================

    This is a walkthrough for the Android (and iOS) version of House of Hell 
    from the Fighting Fantasy series.

    You will not be able to solve this game without taking notes. This house 
    is complex, and you will get lost many times without making a map. It's 
    just as much of a maze as it is a puzzle. That being said, get a pen and 
    paper, and record everything you find. 

    The path through the game isn't entirely free exploration. Going through 
    certain rooms will prevent you from going to others. Certain hallways can 
    only be navigated in one direction, and there's no going back.

    When exploring, use bookmarks often!

    This Walkthrough/FAQ is FULL of spoilers and may ruin the game 
    experience. Try beating it on your own first. If you need info on a 
    specific room or item, check those sections in this walkthrough.

    Also feel free to check out the minimum requirements for winning.

    There are a total of 400 pages in this book. The rooms are static and 
    don't change between replays. However, event outcomes are often 
    determined by dice roll.

    Player Stats

        On Hardcore mode, of all the stats, fear is the most important in 
        that you will probably run out of that before everything else.
        
        Skill (Sk) - This is mostly constant throughout game. Determines 
        your chance of winning a fight. You can obtain certain rare items 
        that affect your skill. If you start off with a low skill on hardcore 
        mode, you might as well re-roll. You cannot go above your max skill 
        on hardcore mode or max skill +3 on normal mode.
        
        Stamina (S) - This is your health. There are events that will cause 
        you to lose or regain stamina. You cannot increase beyond your 
        starting stamina. Don't worry too much about stamina. Fear will most 
        likely be your limiting factor.
        
        Fear (F) - Starts at 0 and increases to your max. If it hits your 
        max, you lose. It's like a 2nd health bar. Events that reduce fear 
        are rare. You really need to find a path that will help conserve your 
        fear. Fear cannot go below 0. You will also need to start out with a 
        capacity of at least 8 Fear in order to survive. Reroll if needed.
        
        Luck (L) - Certain events and fights can be influenced by luck. But 
        these are rare and don't matter nearly as much as Skill and Fear. 
        Cannot increase above your starting luck.

    Hints

        White wine/liquids and cheese are generally bad items to eat/drink in
        the game. Red wine is usually good.

        Weapons: Once you collect a +3Sk weapon, you're already maxed out. 
        You can't wield more than one weapon at a time.

        Once you leave upstairs (i.e. the bedroom area), you can't go back up.
        Take your time exploring before heading downstairs.

        Avoid the Kitchen and Ceremonial Ante-Room. All routes from there 
        lead to dead ends.

        Hardcore mode and Normal mode are almost the same difficulty. The 
        main difference is that you have a -3 handicap for Skill and a +3 
        handicap for Fear on Hardcore.

        Not every item you collect is important necessary to progress the 
        game. Similarly, most notes your character takes are informational 
        (as opposed to being required for plot).

        This game is meant to take multiple playthroughs for you to figure 
        out the correct path to get to page 400.

|| Mini-Walkthrough ||
======================

Please see http://goo.gl/MgG1OV for the longer walkthrough
I can't fit it in this guide.

These are the minimum requirements for beating the game:
    
    Roll at least an 8 for your Fear stat.
    Visit the Diabolus window (110) for the note: Mordana in Abaddon
    Visit Mordana in the Abaddon Room (335)
    Obtain a password hint. Either get this from:
    The letter in the Fireplace Room (364)
    Meeting Shekou a second time (93 or 284)
    Obtain the Kris Knife in the Secret Room (35) behind the Bat Room
    Obtain the Golden Key in the Reception Hall (324)
    Obtain the Cast Iron Key Marked 27 in the Small Chamber (10) by the 
        Mirror Room
    Enter the Dining Room. Defeat Franklin and the Hell Demon

Path #1

    Enter -> Visit Reception Hall -> Dine with the Earl -> Visit Erasmus 
    Room -> Meet Shekou. Ask him anything except about escaping -> Check 
    Diabolus window -> Visit Abaddon Room -> Ask Mordana about the Secret 
    Room -> Go Downstairs -> Visit Drawing Room -> Visit Fireplace -> Visit 
    Cellar -> Ask Shekou about the Secret Room password -> Visit the Bat Room 
    -> Find the Secret Room -> Enter the correct password (Murder) -> Get 
    Kris Knife -> Visit Reception Hall -> Grab Leather Box -> Just through 
    Mirror -> Open Leather Box for the Golden Key -> Enter room on the right 
    for the Cast Iron Key Marked 27 -> Visit the Dining Room -> Fight 
    Franklin -> Defeat him and the Hell Demon -> Enjoy Cake.
    
Path #2

    Same as above, but you don't need to encounter Shekou in either the 
    Erasmus Room or the Cellar. Instead, just read the letter in the 
    Fireplace area and guess the password when you're at the Secret Room.
    
Stat Changes (Fear, stamina, skill, luck)
    
    Luck: This should be maxed out the entire game, but you won't be using it.
    Skill: This should be maxed out after visiting the Storeroom. You can't 
        go above the max.
    Fear: You need to start with at least a capacity of 8 Fear in order to 
        survive to the end.
    
    Erasmus Room: -2S. Fight Shekou. This is actually your hardest fight. You 
        should regain this stamina from the Unmarked and Belial Rooms.
    
    Storeroom: +3Sk from the Sharp Knife. Your skill should be maxed out for 
        the rest of the game.
    
    Unmarked and Belial Rooms: +8S, +1L
    
    Abaddon Room: +2F. Fight dogs. You shouldn't lose stamina if your skill 
        level is high.
    
    Drawing Room: +3S, +2 Brandy
    
    Trap Door: +1F
    
    Cellar: -1 Brandy
    
    Bat Room: +1F
    
    Secret Room: +3L
    
    Reception Room: +1F
    
    Golden Key Room: +2L
    
    Dining Room: +3F
