"Could your sister have gone inside?" Well, obviously not, since the pendant was still there inside a sealed envelope.
...I never thought of that. God, you're right. That makes the game completely pointless, doesn't it. And I'd actually forgotten about the magic, virtually as soon as the mag.book disappeared - some of those might help.
I did get the idea that the ruby was the problem, though it really doesn't make it obvious as it takes so long for its effects to trigger the first time...! In a game where there are so many pointless items to pick up, it's difficult to tell which one might be affecting you. And there's only one place in the game you can drop items, not shown in this video - but at least it outright tells you that you can leave what you don't need there, when you get there. And apart from the ruby, he's not exactly the greatest cat burglar ever, preferring to steal people's laundry, soap and old shoe boxes rather than anything of any value!
The game was becoming... absolutely bizarre, when I stopped. I could just about cope with the things I expected to happen sooner or later, like undead creatures leaping out, but... when I had no idea what it was going to do next, that's somehow a lot more frightening!
