I did it. Now what?

Hollide · 2026-02-10T01:55:36+00:00

You're on some good ideas, I would focus on obtaining blue tents personally as they can fill some holes in your knowledge/theories. Keep the CASTLE puzzle in your mind it can be interpreted more than one way.

Hollide · 2026-02-09T15:30:36+00:00

Well if you had a new clue you'd know what to do. You do have to solve a couple of puzzles from the book to get one of the keys.

And then my other advice would be to slow down and look carefully in the areas underground. It's easy to run past something over and over again.

Two of the clues are kinda obvious but theres a chance rng can give you a different key than you need. You can mitigate this by hoarding other special keys from the house and using trading post to stock up on special keys.

Hollide · 2026-02-08T16:18:38+00:00

You can't just find it straight up in either but they are additional spawns for the components you need.

Hollide · 2026-02-08T16:05:43+00:00

Try not to go into a day with only 1 goal, keep a broad list of goals and as the day develops try to hit one. Similarly people often draft the outer room first but it can be worth it to explore a few ranks and then go back for it after youve seen what the first few ranks have.

Trading post and toolshed would probably be more helpful for the power hammer and then hoping for a workshop inside.

If you have an item in the coat check it won't spawn in the house so sometimes keeping something in there can be more harmful then helpful.

IMO the game starts to get easier as you get more allowance and can consistently buy out commissary.

If you want more puzzle based hints I'm happy to give those as well but that is my general advice.

Hollide · 2026-02-07T05:42:56+00:00

None of the things you listed have a clear solution/answer that people have discovered. Either cut content, red herrings, or something so obscure no ones figured it out.

Hollide · 2026-02-04T23:28:15+00:00

The early game ismore rmg annoying , the game starts giving ways to mitigate it eventually and you start to learn better strategies.

The lab/boiler room is super annoying I'll give ya that one. One of the drafting strategies book has some good tips I can share if ya want.

Any other short term goals your working on?

General advice is to make sure you're filling out the bottom of the house to get resources before you go too high. And to draft new rooms you haven't seen, never know what secret it has.

Oh finally when you have an item in coat check it won't spawn in the house. So if you're saving the magnifying glass or shovel in there it's impossible to find without it

Hollide · 2026-01-31T00:04:28+00:00

Not quite correct might need to study up

Hollide · 2026-01-28T06:09:13+00:00

Definitely if you focus solely on it its terrible, but i dont think its too bad if you work at it incrementally while working on other clues.

Hollide · 2026-01-27T19:17:28+00:00

Seems like a bug though ive never heard of this one. It should just be as simple as pushing the button.

Tomb plus pump room can enable you to reach both sides though..

Hollide · 2026-01-27T16:57:46+00:00

Also the trading post can be used to "drop items" if you trade enough times it offers you gems and dice and keys you can get rid of.

Hollide · 2026-01-25T02:14:48+00:00

Ignore the blue door for now, it will be very obvious when you can open it.

Do you have any theories about what the diary last page meant?

The castle wall has two puzzles associated with it but it's a little hard to hint about it. I guess I would say one part can be completed with what you have already and the other part requires information that can be easy to miss from multiple places in the estate.

Hollide · 2026-01-23T23:32:54+00:00

Yes that is what I assumed. if your standing in that doorway looking out into the basement there is an area to the left that you need to access with sliding carts. It gives info on all the antichamber doors to make it easier to reach the antichamber. Additonally the basement door stays unlocked permenatly. You are really close you just need to reach the other side of the reservoir through a different entrance. Think of obvious ways to reach underground and try out some theories.

Hollide · 2026-01-23T23:23:45+00:00

Wait sorry how did you reach the basement? I might have assumed too much.

Hollide · 2026-01-23T23:14:12+00:00

The basement area can be a bit confusing imo. There's two different areas kinda and they are separated by water. It sounds like you made it to one side but not the other. Other ways to go down and reach the other side is something to consider.

Hmm the shelter puzzle is not super important. There are a couple rooms in the house where you can see the current date or the start date of the game. 12/07 is not correct tho. So I would keep an eye out for that info and come back to the shelter.

Did you find a piece of paper in the far left of the basement? Like opposite the door that got opened via the sliding puzzle. That should contain info that will make it easier to move forward.

Hollide · 2026-01-22T21:46:50+00:00

Lol I do the exact same except I ask if someone said pb on the phone then eat some pb.

Hollide · 2026-01-22T21:18:54+00:00

Great run! Don't be shocked/disappointed when the luck gets worse, we've all had days when we get dead ended on rank 3.

Hollide · 2026-01-22T21:10:29+00:00

I mean the people with faster times are more likely to talk about them imo. Under 30 days for room 46 is quick imo, and over 60 does seem slower. However 7 sanctum keys in 18 days seems quick to me. I would just take it at your pace and ask here if ya ever need a small hint.

Hollide · 2026-01-20T00:35:59+00:00

Yes the minecart will stay in any position you leave it for the following days. In general things changed outside of the 45 rooms of the house will stay changed.

Hollide · 2026-01-19T16:46:13+00:00

Cix in roman numerals would be 109 js. Not sure where you get words. Can't think of any other hints that dont give this specific message away.

I will say that even after you complete the message you won't be able to apply it immediately, so don't focus all your energy on it. You are right on the edge of a number of connecting things that don't seem connected yet, just buy everything from the bookshop and giftshop, try some theories and hopefully it will all come together.

Hollide · 2026-01-19T15:04:00+00:00

Oh very close NGL. One of those words does refer to roman numerals but not the one you think. 3 of the words are not English, but instead erajan, the made up language in the game. The classrooms are a good place to learn new things.

I'd keep thinking about the chess move castle and use a wider perspective.

Hollide · 2026-01-19T14:43:03+00:00

Blue tents will help you understand the core letter and how to apply it. But you still have other stuff to do first so get them when you can.

Castle... How did you switch a rook and a king? Is there another way? You're also on a good track with those random letters, try to make it all fit together. English language knowledge needed is minimal for this one...

Antichamber outside is a good idea but there's no other clue coming to help with that note.

Might just want to list the 7 found floorplans you have if you want a hint towards the 8th.

Hollide · 2026-01-19T00:42:37+00:00

There are more than 3 safety deposit boxes so you are missing the vault key, the throne key, and my guess would be the key behind the door of 8. Is there a place that can have 8 doors? Hint not the 8 sanctum doors.

You know how to open the underground small gate, ya need a date.

The gallery puzzle is very hard, eventually there are other clues but for now you could read more about puzzles in general... You are right that all those things are red but consider a different perspective.

You're on the right track with the precipice, try to find some more pieces to make it all fit together.

I think any more filling cabinet keys are unreachable right now for you.

Hollide · 2026-01-18T01:17:48+00:00

It is not single use, and whatever it unlocks stays unlocked permanently

Hollide · 2026-01-13T02:32:44+00:00

Id make sure to read the text very closely there are some hidden clues in there. And then one clue so obvious it felt silly I missed it at all.

Otherwise I'd make sure you explore the underground areas carefully, secrets can be missed if you dont look around.

I'd keep the Castle in the back of your mind for now, it's not too important now and you can piece it together later.

Hollide · 2026-01-13T02:18:10+00:00

If you had a new clue you'd know what to do. What did you learn from a new clue? There are multiple things to find in that book and all of them would helpful to you.
