Chapter 3 Route Overview
Episode Three expands the mystery beyond Addison Apartments. Suspicious cafeteria bologna, Mrs. Packerton's behavior, and fragments of Jim Johnson's journal push Sal, Larry, Ash, and Todd toward a hidden operation beneath Nockfell.
This is the most collectible-heavy early chapter. The timed prologue, eleven journal pages, optional Clumpy game, school conversations, and apartment backtracking all need attention before the final basement sequence.
Chapter 3 Walkthrough: Steps, Codes & Choices
Step 1 – Solve the timed journal prologue
Set the four symbol controls to top, bottom, top, and middle. In the white room, enter the six code groups while moving from right to left: 6269, 63, 663, 47, 96753, and 9687. Finishing both puzzles awards the journal route for Premonition.
◉ Tip: Pause between inputs if the countdown makes the two puzzles difficult to read.
Step 2 – Investigate Nockfell High
Collect the paperclip, camera, sticky tack, and bologna sample. Photograph the bird for Kim, help Larry with the window distraction, and talk to Travis in the last bathroom stall using responses 3, 2, 3, 2.
◉ Tip: Keep the sticky tack instead of giving it away; it is needed for an optional collectible.
Step 3 – Open Packerton's desk and Henry's computer
The classroom desk code is 3141, the first four digits of pi. Back at room 402, inspect the family clue and enter 491145 on Henry's computer—the alphabet positions for DIANE.
◉ Tip: These two codes unlock different branches; 3141 is the school desk, 491145 is the computer.
Step 4 – Collect all journal pages before the basement
Scan apartments with the Super Gear Boy, check the mailboxes and hidden temple room, resolve the puzzle-box follow-up, and collect all eleven journal pages. Do not take the final exit until page eleven has been read.
◉ Tip: Meeting in Todd's room and the late basement sequence act as practical points of no return.
