I'm a bit stuck with this one.  I see from Garry's comments that there's a magnet somewhere in the game, but I'm at a loss as to where to find it!  Any hints?

Hi and thanks for trying it out! There is a magnet yes - but you’ll need to branch out a bit to find it!

I just discovered that the same question has been asked and answered on the game page, but it doesn't work for me. Perhaps a bug? Here's a partial transcript in the street outside the graveyard:

> i
You're carrying a magnet, a walking stick, a raincoat, a hat, some sunglasses (worn), a note and a knife.
> get key
The iron key is out of reach.
> get key with stick
You very nearly can get the key, but not quite...
> get key with magnet
You very nearly can get the key, but not quite...
> get key with magnet and stick
You can't use multiple objects with that verb.
That's not including the dozens and dozens of other things I tried.

Sorry you had a tough time - you need to combine the two items. Let me know if you want the exact command though...

Thanks. I was on the right track. I just couldn't get the right verb.

I tried lots of things to combine the two items: things like tie, join, attach, glue, combine, hook, stick, wrap, transfer, fasten. In desperation, I have decompiled the game to get the vocabulary and discovered that it's something that you would normally associate with a container or supporter. I won't mention it here, as I don't want to PUT any spoilers on this page.

I'm at a complete loss as to how to get the key off the hook. I have the walking stick and the magnet, but I can't work out any way to attach them together and I can't reach the key. Can you provide a hint?

Hopefully my previous comment helps but let me know if not. I think I’ll have to add a hint to the game itself, too...
