• The map on the wall shows four red lights, each one positioned at a corner of the factory. Two of them correspond to the two boxes we’ve seen.

• Pick up the handbook on the floor.

• Look at the handbook. There’s a phone number to call, as well as mention of a PF-001 tube.

• Push the switch on the truck and the truck will move.

• Have Reyes set the time on the fourth time clock.

• All four lights over the factory door should now be green.

• Bring Delores, Ransome, Ray, and Reyes to the doors.

This is the end of this walk through. There are a few more steps for you to take to complete the game, but we want you to experience them yourself, hint free.

Other things you can do:

During the game, here are some additional things you can try:

• Read the agents’ notebooks.

• Talk to George the Postal Worker (post office), Willie (outside the post office), Leonard (QuickiePal), and Madame Morena (Occult bookstore — to the right of Willie’s location).

• Check out the QuickiePal bathroom. Change toilet paper from “under” to “over” in the game settings. Pick up toilet paper.

• Edmund Mansion mansion library: Read crowdsourced books. If you haven’t figured out how to go up the library’s spiral staircase:

  • Look at the sign on the staircase. Out of order.

  • Pick up the sign. If there’s no sign, it must no longer be out of order (excellent adventure game logic).

  • Use the stairs

• Call numbers in the phone book (using mansion library phone or agent’s cell phone).

• Find Chuck the Plant.

• Try to grow Leonard’s plant (QuickiePal).

• Read the greeting cards (QuickiePal).

• Pick up specks of dust.
