The code must be entered - 1908. When you go down to the kitchen, you can click on a piece of paper on the wall. On it appears: "Birthday of the oldest." Above there are pictures from the four sons of Annie. They are all one and the same date - 1939. This is the date when the portraits were painted. Also, there are number of years. So the oldest in the picture is for 31 years. So we decide: 1939 - 31 = 1908. In the room you can read a note lying on the floor. There are four supports on which the light falls. Each stand has four letters - A, G, E, R. These are the first letters of the four sons of Annie - Alexander, Gabriel, Edward and Robert. Fly back to the box with the letters.

Listen very carefully to his riddle. You can repeat the scene as needed. [Author's note: I find this puzzle to be unfairly under-posed.

So instead, just randomly place the three shapes until the game visibly "locks" them in to the "correct" place, which will be similar to this screenshot, but with the candle nudged left. To be fair, the cross/arches hint is clear to me, but that "drop" sure does look like a candle to me, and it's location relative to the rest comes with no hint that I see. Steam Achievement: "The cleansing Clear Blackwood from its demons." Enter attic. Attempt to take violin. Pull switch. Return to room below. Haborym challenges you to a game of "spot the difference."
