  In Dining Room - If candle is lit, fire starts in Dining Room and you must
have water in pitcher to pour on it.

  If candle is not lit soon, you will end up in the dark and unable to 
continue.

  If stove in kitchen is lit, you blow up.

  You can get lost in forest and wander forever.

  Daisy will kill you if you don't find gun and shoot her first.

  Don't go out attic window.
