# 12 of August, 2025 playthrough notes
|
||||
|
||||
First impressions:
|
||||
|
||||
- Loading screen for the main menu lol
|
||||
- This game sure loves loading
|
||||
- The opening movie is way too dark, give me a gamma adjustment slider *first*
|
||||
- The opening movie could have been a block of text, thanks for wasting my time.
|
||||
- Walking is SOOO SLOW jesus christ
|
||||
- The game really loves wasting your time on pointless bullshit
|
||||
- Game started at 1080p instead of 4K. -1 point.
|
||||
- Almost all UI interactions feel somewhat clunky and slow. It's a combination of animations taking too long and click hitzones being way too small. (Good example: pump room levers, they feel really bad to use)
|
||||
- The story seems to be holding up and the worldbuilding is solid.
|
||||
- The few puzzles i got to solve were the highlight of the playthrough. Getting stuck repeatedly in dead ends and having to slowly walk around is the lowlight. A "Fast travel between rooms" feature would be really good.
|
||||
- The story and puzzles feel very held-back by the technicalities and extreme jank of the rest of the game.
|
||||
|
||||
Facts:
|
||||
|
||||
- The testament requires us to find "the 46th room" awesome, i've heard of that already
|
||||
- Testmanet is written 13th of March 1993
|
||||
|
||||
Timeline:
|
||||
|
||||
- Wait for the boring fucking opening movie to end
|
||||
- Find [The first letter](../objects/first_letter/index.md)
|
||||
- On the wall, a Queen of Diamonds and Ace of Clubs
|
||||
- Place bedroom
|
||||
- On the walls, [Tree](../objects/paintings/tree.png) and [Safety Pin](../objects/paintings/safety-pin.png)
|
||||
- Locked trunk
|
||||
- [Photo of some woman](../objects/rooms/bedroom/woman_photo.png) next to the bed
|
||||
- [Greeting card](../objects/rooms/bedroom/greeting_card.png) on the table
|
||||
- Place corridor, nothing significant
|
||||
- Place parlor
|
||||
- Parlor room puzzle is an easy truth table, only one wind-up key in the room. This room doesn't seem to contain any interesting things.
|
||||
- Place another corridor
|
||||
- See [an interesting red note](../objects/notes/red_note_1.png). Unsure if this is a per-day clue or a general one. Doors in the west wing are more likely to be locked.
|
||||
- Place Den. Seems extremely uninteresting.
|
||||
- Place drawing room. Seems full of paintings, the paintings seem to just be flavor so i will stop making note of them for now.
|
||||
- Waste time on a spare room, the door is locked.
|
||||
- Place nook. Painting on the wall seems to depict the same card as the starting room.
|
||||
- Place west wing hall. Find a [staff notice](../objects/rooms/west_wing_hall/staff_notice.png)
|
||||
- Place patio. Fucking dead end. Time to back-track back to the den. Other den door is locked. Backtracking further. Get key out of storeroom.
|
||||
- Place chapel. The game seems dead-set on not letting me progress.
|
||||
- Chapel has a chess piece in it (bishop)
|
||||
- Stained glass in the chapel seems to be in the wrong order.
|
||||
|
||||
- Backtrack even further. Go all the way to the start, and place a pantry. In the pantry, a notice about five apples, five bananas and five oranges. So far found 1 apple and 1 banana.
|
||||
- Observatory, which has a book in it: [book](../objects/observatory_book/index.md)
|
||||
- No more places to explore. All doors are locked it seems. Sucks.
|
||||
- Time to explore the outside a bit more. Orchard. Seems locked. Will try bruteforcing a little bit every day, maybe 300 codes each, unless I find a clue. Might write an xdotool script for this and leave my computer running over night lmfao.
|
||||
- Orchard bruteforced and unlocked. Code: 1128. Took 50 minutes and I made myself some tea and ate dinner.
|
||||
- Orchard contains [soil guide](../objects/rooms/orchard/soil_guide.png)
|
||||
- Turned on gasoline, lit up one of the 4 lights.
|
||||
- Day 1 over. Final impressions: I wish I had discovered more, but the orchard seems helpful.
|
||||
|
||||
### Day 2:
|
||||
|
||||
- The cards on the paintings on the wall have not changed. Good to know.
|
||||
- Breaker room discovered. Keycard access system turned off.
|
||||
- First time I reset a day. Will have to re-discover the breaker room. Got stuck with a really bad selection of rooms.
|
||||
- Breaker room available as the very first option on day 2. Nice.
|
||||
- The den has chess pieces in it.
|
||||
- Guest bedroom has a letter mentioning billiards, math puzzles and the rules of darts. Also a keycard, but that's moot since I already disabled the keycard system.
|
||||
- Parlor leads into hallway, leads into 2 deadends. time to backtrack.
|
||||
- Bedroom has no locked box this time.
|
||||
- Comissary unlocked with some stuff on the corkboard. Apparently days 12 to 16 the comissary will be closed [IT WILL NOT BE! RED NOTES ARE A LIE!], and on day 20 and 21, there is a 50% discount. The staff notice seems interesting, i should try figuring out the password.
|
||||
- Dark room you bitch, thank god for the breakers lmao
|
||||
- **Red rooms seem to be generally bad to encounter.**
|
||||
- Laboratory discovered. This is where the game seems to actually start to get interesting.
|
||||
- **PERIODIC TABLE PUZZLE:**
|
||||
- 1: Pu
|
||||
- 2: S
|
||||
- 3: H
|
||||
- 4: Th
|
||||
- 5: re
|
||||
- 6: Eu
|
||||
- 7: pa
|
||||
- 8: f
|
||||
- 9: te
|
||||
- 10: rn
|
||||
- 11: i
|
||||
- 12: ne
|
||||
|
||||
push three up after nine
|
||||
|
||||
seems to be a solution to the machine, which i need the boiler room for first.
|
||||
|
||||
- Got sledge hammer and key, making this run not be a dead end as feared.
|
||||
- Got bpoudoir
|
||||
- **Figured out that the passcode is 1225** from the christmas photo and trying both ways to format the christmas day date.
|
||||
- **Safe Code: 9083** (this was a fucking lie!! no it wasn't.)
|
||||
- Office discovered. Money made.
|
||||
- 5 books:
|
||||
"flight of the queen"
|
||||
"march of the count" (not in red, all others in red)
|
||||
"fall of the lord"
|
||||
"passing of the barons"
|
||||
"herrings of the major"
|
||||
|
||||
- Bought magnifying glass
|
||||
- **Network password: swansong**
|
||||
- From the terminal, last message was on november 7th targeted to Simon.
|
||||
- All work ended on the 4th
|
||||
- Could the first day have been 8th?
|
||||
- Have to go to the office to check email.
|
||||
- Office emails:
|
||||
- Mentions of holidays next week on november 1st 1993 [image](../objects/rooms/office/email/mail1.png)
|
||||
- Mentions about fusebox repair [image](../objects/rooms/office/email/mail2.png)
|
||||
- Talks about the estate [image](../objects/rooms/office/email/mail3.png)
|
||||
- More about the fusebox [image](../objects/rooms/office/email/mail4.png) (white lights only appear after all indicators are purple)
|
||||
- Will try the fusebox thing, seems to be the only lead remaining for today.
|
||||
- Fusebox seems to have weird rules about colors.
|
||||
- After some trial and error, fusebox unlocked, and gemstone cavern reached.
|
||||
- Second outside gas burner turned on
|
||||
- Gemstone cavern has a note mentioning "the reservoir" and an extra minecart stuck somewhere.
|
||||
|
||||
### Day 3
|
||||
|
||||
- Uneventful start
|
||||
- Reaching security room gave a cutscene
|
||||
- Blue memos = true
|
||||
- Red memoes = lies unless written by hand
|
||||
- Dart
|
||||
- Blue: Addition
|
||||
- Yellow: subtraction
|
||||
- Purple: Multiplication
|
||||
- Puzzle in the billiard room only gave me the keycard, which seems unnecessary because I tyurned the keycard security system off.
|
||||
- Pump room
|
||||
- Bunk room, and a journal.
|
||||
- Simon seems to have been writing in red?
|
||||
- Did something in the pump room to make the fountain be at 0. Idk what value that has.
|
||||
- Died to exhaustion before I could see the result on the fountain.
|
||||
|
||||
### Day 4:
|
||||
|
||||
- The basement door is locked.
|
||||
- Didn't really discover much in this day, just kinda explored around. Nothing new found, still don't know where to put the microchip.
|
||||
- I should probably try to discover more rooms, that seems to be the way to go.
|
||||
- No major leads so far except reaching the boiler room and trying the kitchen + pump room combo.
|
||||
- I feel like i'm slowly getting stuck, each day I mostly reached roughly the same distance with the rooms and didn't really unlock much new.

# 13 of August, 2025 playthrough notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Day 5:
|
||||
|
||||
- Start off slow. Pick up microchip, go to pantry.
|
||||
- Got security room fairly early.
|
||||
- Got lab early too, started experiment.
|
||||
- Got to library. Seems like this is the first relevant clue. The book request form is number 124.
|
||||
- Books requested on day 2:
|
||||
"flight of the queen"
|
||||
"march of the count" (not in red, all others in red)
|
||||
"fall of the lord"
|
||||
"passing of the barons"
|
||||
"herrings of the major"
|
||||
- None of them seem available here.
|
||||
- Requested some book, reached rank 9, didn't really gain much. Got myself into a dead end now.
|
||||
- Good run, but annoyingly not much discovery again.
|
||||
- Still don't know what to do with the microchip.
|
||||
- Fuck forgot to screenshot summary
|
||||
|
||||
### Day 6:
|
||||
|
||||
- Security room red note mentions the antechamber and "access levels no longer being required" that's a lie, so I need access levers.
|
||||
- Rumpus room. Seems like another weird cutscene. "Door marked by a rogue moon. Door that is always locked."
|
||||
- "A lost room beyond the dark waters"
|
||||
- Took the video from the asset rip and put it in the rumpus room folder for future reference.
|
||||
- I guess I might have to travel somewhere by boat?
|
||||
- Another dead end day without any progress. The only new room is alzara, which seems like a minor lore drop.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Day 7:
|
||||
|
||||
- Treasure map
|
||||
- Observation: The library staircase animation is more motion sickness inducing than VR.
|
||||
- Found the garage, thanks to foresight i could open it already.
|
||||
- Unlocked the west gate forever
|
||||
- Gotta remember to place an outside room every time.
|
||||
- Found an antechamber access lever in a room with 7 locked doors [Great hall]. Sadly, I have no way to reach the antechamber. Great hall seems to be the room with one of the levers, possibly only the east one?
|
||||
- Checked security room, there seems to be an item "car keys" somewhere.
|
||||
- Car keys in gymnasium
|
||||
- Car keys gave me an upgrade disc.
|
||||
- Note left in the car
|
||||
- Note seems interesting. Unable to find shovel -> unable to dig up treasure map. Still, made some minor progress today.
|
||||
|
||||
### Day 8:
|
||||
|
||||
- Started with a schoolhouse outside.
|
||||
- Blackboard text: "within a timely manor"
|
||||
- Schoolhouse had the 3rd valve
|
||||
- Found a classroom. Not sure of it's purpose yet.
|
||||
- The worksheets might be some puzzle? Idk, the game doesn't let me make any inputs.
|
||||
- Got to the foundation. Will have to think where to put it.
|
||||
- Another classroom, another set of worksheets.
|
||||
- Boiler room puzzle was trivial.
|
||||
- Laboratory thingy got.
|
||||
- Seemingly unlocked the last(?) permanent.
|
||||
- Assembled a detector shovel. Useless at this stage of the run, but good to know I can.
|
||||
- Went to the unlocked grotto
|
||||
- Microchip went into the slot.
|
||||
- I should explore outside a bit more.
|
||||
- Nothing really found.
|
||||
- Shame i couldn't use my 7 keys and got dead-ended so hard. My constraint seem to be gems usually.
|
||||
|
||||
### Day 9:
|
||||
|
||||
- Start with the hovel
|
||||
- Last of the 4 gas valves, will investigate.
|
||||
- Take the fire elevator down. "The precipice".
|
||||
- Chess puzzle (seems to be related to each room having a puzzle piece. Will need to start tracking that.)
|
||||
- Alzara:
|
||||
- I will only get seven red letters
|
||||
- There is a piece of art missing(?)
|
||||
- Placed room behind foundation, seemingly activated some mechanism
|
||||
- Taking elevator in the foundation down.
|
||||
- Basement needs some special key to unlock.
|
||||
- Finish the day in the sauna after reaching 0 steps. The hovel is brutal.
|
||||
- Annoyingly still have not reached the antechamber once. This sucks. I need to improve strategy, but it really seems the RNG is just not acting in my favor at all. The past few days have sucked, I haven't made as much progress as I wish I had.

# 16 of August, 2025 playthrough notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Day 10:
|
||||
|
||||
- Restarted 6 times, made some interesting discoveries. Mostly notes and superflous stuff. I will try to actually finish it, but my requirement is to reach rank 9 to actually finish. Otherwise I will keep restarting forever
|
||||
- Got a great hall early, opened the antechamber east. Hopefully I can FUCKING GET IN.
|
||||
- Time lock safe is a higher priority, if I can get that (I HOPE I DID IT RIGHT! WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG!) maybe I won't see the need to reach the antechamber.
|
||||
- Got the time lock safe, and Letter VII. I don't really see any value to my progression here, but I'll take it.
|
||||
- Found a secret garden key, but I can't seem to be able to do anything with it.
|
||||
- Decided to finally finish the day. Dead-ended myself but ehh, it was relatively good.
|
||||
- The restarts made this the longest day (like 3 hours) but i finally got good RNG.
|
||||
|
||||
### Day 11:
|
||||
|
||||
- Got to the tomb.
|
||||
- Second time the game has given me a secret garden key. Seems like it *really* wants me to go there.
|
||||
- Extremely trivial puzzle, leads to discovering the west antechamber lever.
|
||||
- Dead-ended myself, but at least got some fair bit of allowance.
|
||||
|
||||
*Post-session note: The moon pedant randomizes what you preserve at the end of current day, not at the start of next day, so I can't cheese it by restarting over and over*
