Deteriorating lead-based paint (peeling, chipping, chalking, cracking, damaged, or damp) is a hazard and needs immediate attention.

If the paint is in good shape, the lead-based paint is usually not a problem. Lead-based paint is still present in millions of homes, normally under layers of newer paint.

In 1978, the federal government banned consumer uses of lead-based paint, but some states banned it even earlier. If your home was built before 1978, it is more likely to have lead-based paint. Protect your children where they learn and play.This page provides information about potential sources of lead in:įor more information about protecting your family from exposure to lead: Lead from paint, dust and soil in and around your home can be dangerous if not managed properly. And finally, under that are a couple prescription receipts for very heavy medications, handwritten notes and a drawing of a rat calling it the “Silent Floater.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also has information about sources of lead exposure and what to do if you think your child has been exposed. I think I managed to only find one of those drawings, the bride and groom with scratched-out faces, but they are pretty terrifying because you can’t ever see anyone’s face. Underneath the drawing was a set of photos straight from the game. In the back corner of the kit, there’s a strange and unsettling children’s drawing that looks like the daughter was drawing about the broken relationship between her and her father. The mousetrap is a reference to the mice running around in the game that sort of led you through the maze of the main protagonist’s house. What’s creepy is the candle’s wick has definitely been used and has little wax dribbles on the side. Other things in the kit includes old, dried out paintbrushes, a pack of real matches from the company that made the main protagonist’s prosthetic leg, Achilles Prosthetics Co., an aged business card for a relationship counselor, an orange candle, a mouse trap and a doll’s arm. It was a drawing of a prosthetic leg with negative comments surrounding it like “Why the damn leg!?” and “Can’t afford a new one.” And it looked like there were mug stains on it from some kind of drink. A note? I pulled it out, my heart thumping a little wondering how many others had seen this note. That’s when I spotted something off underneath the jars, something I didn’t expect to see. The most chilling piece, I think, was the piece of flesh because it was hard to see exactly what it was, which made the imagination run rampant. Another jar has a small bone in it covered in what looks like ash, and it’s labeled “undercoat, bone white.” The last jar has a bloody finger in it, yet another piece of the human canvas from the game. In one bottle, there’s what seems to be a piece of flesh, labeled “Not just any canvas.” In the game, you finds pieces of his “canvas” which are pieces of the human body. In the compartments of the box, that’s where things start to get really weird. In the game, if you’re thorough enough, you come across a note from the main character’s agent who pretty much tells him the same thing about his paintings. The note is from an agent for the publishing house that published the children’s book and he expresses concern and anger as he yells at the author for creating such horrible work. It looks very much like the notes you find hidden inside Layers Of Fear. And tucked inside the book is another piece of dyed, folded paper. The next thing that immediately catches my eye is a small, red book titled, “Children’s Bedtime Stories.” And let’s just say these stories are anything but children-friendly.

The letter describes the “art piece” that was sent for review. There’s an obvious mental battling happening even as the author pens the letter, because some words are crossed out like the world “relatively” in “relatively sane” and the signature of the author. But on top of that was a folded letter with a red, wax seal with the letters, “LoF.” The letter, on special parchment paper, was written in the style of the writing in the game. As I opened it, there was a letter, dyed yellow, that explained briefly the embargo and included a Steam code. The first observation upon opening the cardboard delivery box was that there was a dirty-looking wooden paint set shut tight with latches.
