This is UNIMAGINABLY bad game design. The game just doesn't let you pass, because you didn't visit a non-critical area in the house,

Here's the deal: you need to use the poisoned wine near the double-doors at the kitchen entrance in the foyer. You must put it on the ground there, because the game is terrible enough not to include an "Use" selection which'd give you a hint. In that room, there is a jukebox, where you can use two tokens (they don't do anything except open a storage room with a bulletproof vest, a loading clip and a jammed Tommy-Gun which is garbage). Also it's possible to backtrack from the attic to the house thru the chimney, so this "I can't reach it" bullsht was clearly designed to piss the players off.
