Key & Compass presents:
Speed IF #2
by J. Robinson Wheeler

A cab has dropped you off on the street near Neil DeMause's apartment in New York. You're here because a jack o'lantern was left outside your door with a scary note inside saying that your meeting with your wife, Sarah, will be delayed... permanently.

This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the game.

Inventory

a burned note. You're carrying it at the beginning. Read it.
a jack-o-lantern. You're carrying it at the beginning. Open it; it contains a tarantula. Close the jack.
a tarantula. He's inside the jack-o-lantern. You can't do anything with him.
a cold object; later, a severed hand. Find it by looking in the dumpster in the narrow alleyway, then look at the object at the "On the Street" location to find out it's a hand. You can't do anything with it.
a postcard. It's on the table inside the apartment. Read it and follow its instructions.

This walkthrough is provided free of charge since I wrote this walkthrough prior to January 2015 when I began my Patreon account, and also because the work it's based on has less than fifteen locations (so I wouldn't have charged for it anyway). I've since reformatted this walkthrough to use my currently preferred style. I hope you enjoy it!
