Safe Codes and Key Puzzles
Several puzzles block progression through the apartment and underground server rooms. Below are solutions to the most commonly searched puzzle obstacles:
1. Bedroom Safe Code & Keypad
In the bedroom, you will encounter a wall safe. The solution involves noting environmental clues scattered across Mita's apartment:
- Check the sticky note clues on the refrigerator and desk.
- Examine the clock face when power flickers occur; the clock hands point to the corresponding digit sequence.
- Enter the code sequentially on the numerical dial to retrieve the backup keys.
2. Server Battery Locations (Sub-level Basement)
During the underground server room segment, you must locate auxiliary power batteries to restore system connectivity:
- Battery 1: Found on the industrial metal shelving unit near the secondary breaker switch.
- Battery 2: Inside the ventilation duct access panel near the water pipe leak.
- Battery 3: Resting beside the fried computer terminal in the central control room.
3. Minigame Sequences (Tetris & Spacecar)
To avoid triggering Mita's suspicion, complete the arcade mini-games accurately. In Tetris, clear lines steadily without letting blocks stack to the top ceiling. In Spacecar, steer using A and D while avoiding obstacle spikes.
