13 of August, 2025 playthrough notes

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
