Conflicting reports
  1. 01
    Finish the normal Day 3 route.

    Use the walkthrough page for the lab and dinner checkpoints.

  2. 02
    Replay the clock checkpoint.

    Two independent public guides report 4:05; one Steam discussion reports 3:05. Treat this as a replay task, not a confirmed universal answer.

  3. 03
    Use the bath-note tile branch.

    Two guides report Alexandra → Bathtub → Suitcase → Hand. A Steam discussion gives a different order, so stop rather than overwriting the save if the note does not appear.

  4. 04
    Continue with RRRLRLRRL.

    The two public route guides agree on the reported maze input; the alchemy, constellation, wine-box, and bottle steps remain part of the same un-replayed branch.

  5. 05
    Open the reported lockbox with 6294.

    Both current public route guides report the telescope lock, then using the telescope on the distant window. Keep the final trigger marked replay pending.

Public route comparison
Community reported

This combines the details repeated by two current public guides. It expands the route, but does not resolve the conflicting clock and tile-order reports.

  1. 01
    Return to Aldous's wake-up scene.

    Use the reported 4:05 clock setting after obtaining the note. Another community report says 3:05, so keep this checkpoint labeled conflicting.

  2. 02
    Follow the bath-note sequence.

    Two public guides report Alexandra → Bathtub → Suitcase → Hand. The Steam discussion gives another order, so do not present this as replay-confirmed.

  3. 03
    Continue through the maze and alchemy boxes.

    The translated guide reports RRRLRLRRL for the maze, then a symbol-group connection puzzle in the alchemy scene.

  4. 04
    Open the cellar wine route.

    In the dinner-dressing cellar, place the gold, silver, and copper bottles into the matching symbol positions to open the barrel passage.

  5. 05
    Use the hidden-room box and telescope.

    Both public guides report 6294 for the lockbox, then using the telescope on the distant window. Keep the final click replay pending.

Is this route confirmed?

No. Two independent public guides agree on the reported 4:05 branch and 6294 lock, but a Steam report conflicts on the clock and tile order, so it remains replay pending.

What is the reported maze sequence?

The third-party hidden-achievement guide reports RRRLRLRRL.

Where should I read the story explanation?

A reliable story explanation is intentionally held back from this MVP until the route and ending have been replay-verified.
