A good one too. I almost went with it.

Now... Explore da hallway! But turn off the phone first... both to save power AND to not have it rings at totally wrong time and alert any unknown monsters to your presence, leading to your demise :roll:

Try holding the paper against the light to see if there are any hidden watermarks.
Shine the flashlight across the room to see whether it's any good for use.
Is this my final form?

Ian tries the flashlight in the room... Yeah, it does work well. The key is stuck in its place and doesn't move, and the light output is quite bright, despite the lack of one battery.

Ian turns off his phone for the moment.

Why not? Ian moves the nightstand below the lamp to reach it, and places the paper against it...

After a bit...

It works! :D The heat starts to reveal some letters! But it's not enough, and he can't reach any higher... if only he had some way to concentrate light on the paper...

Or for gameplay purposes will our batteries be INFINITE POWAH?!

Ian goes out to the hallway, armed with the working flashlight. Now that's much better!

To his right is his uncles' room. To his left is the rest of the home. Which way do you want him to take? Or does he go back to the room to solve the paper enigma?

Before you go out, use the magnifying glass to focus the light on the paper and read the message.

Use the light from the flashlight to do so, as it is much easier to concentrate.

No, but he read the story. Why? :P

Ian goes back to the room and uses the flashlight + magnifying glass combination to heat up the paper.

After a few minutes and some work, the invisible ink is completely revealed.

Ian: Do you have idea what does it mean and who left this note? And why?
Also: Call 479 001 600 (?)

Edit: Wait... Another side of paper is empty?
