This is Part 1 of our walkthrough for Nowhere House, a mind bending escape room style game from Dark Dome.

This is the story of Adria who you play as as you try to find a way to escape from the cursed house of the witch. When you start you are trapped in a room.

First view the bottom of the cupboard on the right and then open the brown drawer to collect a photo.

Now you can tap the photo in your inventory list at the bottom to view it. This is a clue for later.

You can tap the arrows on the left and right of the screen to rotate your view and look around the room. To the right is a clock, note that the time will change every time you look at that view.

Look around to the opposite side of the initial view to see a blue door.

View the wall cabinet above the sink and then open the doors.

Collect the walkie talkie.

Now check the shelves on the left. There are colored bottles on them, this is a puzzle.

tap pairs of jars to swap them and arrange them in the positions show in the photo. If your photo is different then follow that. This was my solution.

Once done the broom in the room will fly away. You can now back out to the first area.

Look to the view on the right to see a chimney.

Pull down the white sheet to find a portrait and get a cut scene.
