Utility Closet Hacks
The Utility Closet is more than a puzzle zone—it’s the key to controlling power across multiple game areas.
- Disable Keycard Systems: When combined with the Security Room, this lets you bypass restricted doors (useful at higher ranks).
- Activate the Garage Door: Leads to new story content and hidden areas.
- Shut Down the Gymnasium: Stop losing 5 steps every time you pass through.
- Power Up the Dark Room: Enables visibility and photo analysis (Note: Power always resets when entering—you’ll need to restore it afterward).
What Are the Blue Flames?
Throughout your journey, you’ll encounter four mysterious blue flames. Activating them usually involves finding and turning valves in specific locations:
- Apple Orchard (Left side)
- Gemstone Cavern (Outside near cave entrance)
- Others to be discovered…
Lighting all four may unlock a powerful late-game secret or achievement.
Tips
- Prioritize the Utility Closet on your first day for long-term advantages.
- Memorize code 1128 for a quick energy boost.
- Follow the valve trail to unlock secrets gradually.
- Don’t ignore books and notes—they offer hints and lore-rich insight.
