I think you get some of those extra 5 points by doing *something* in the end sequence, maybe realizing you are pregnant or something like that. Also, you get at least one or two points if you spy on your husband from the crawlspace while he's moving around the house.
Indeed, it was a great game, one of the finest freeware text adventures ever. If you want to get into the oldies, I recommend The Lurking Horror. It's from Infocom and also inspired by Lovecraft works. The atmosphere is remarkable for being a text adventure!

Thanks Agustin. I have made a note of 'The Lurking Horror', ever since I saw how highly rated it is on JA's top 10 scary games list. I'm trying my hardest to find an 'Infocom Text Adventure Masterpieces' that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I think it's on that collection.
As for 'Anchorhead', I enjoyed it so much I've tried to find another chiller to play next and plumped for 'Slouching Towards Bedlam'. It's pretty good so far, but I'm not sure it's going to be as gripping. I've only played for an hour, or so, though.
Pity that there's no actual list of points that can be scored in 'Anchorhead, though. It'd be good to check back. I think I did those two things you mentioned.
Thanks again Agustin.

Status : Online | Oh boy! I finally finished this game and was absolutely blown away by the atmosphere and amount of detail. I'm afraid that I won't be able to find a work of Interactive Fiction with this quality of storytelling soon... (Suggestions are welcome, of course...)
Does anyone know if Gentry has other works in progress?
