ACORNZ123'S PROFILE

I have no idea what to do about the amalgamation ??? creature
in the library. I have these items:
I can interact with the mechanism but nothing I have works. I have the Cthulhu book as well. Another note: I also tried both records and neither work for the dance hall puzzle.

there's also quite a number of bugs though I figure I'd just ask how to progress for the time being. I've already covered the Indian portrait with the cloth so the fact that I could get a second one was strange, and threw me off a bit too.

Also, I can't get past the monster that comes at me in the basement/cellar hallway
