Thanks for the excellent guide! A couple of notes: the gates in the yard containing the Friend sculpture close behind you at some point, creating another point of no return. Also, credit for the final empty grave may not trigger if you simply take the key and leave. I needed to circle around behind the statue before I got credit.

Thank you! :)

I've done pretty well without following details in your guide so far. It was good to peek at and know what I was looking for, in general, before starting to play. You've done a great job on this!
Hanni  [author] 29 Dec, 2020 @ 8:47am 
As far as I know you should keep your progress.

So, I accidentally stumbled past 'the point of no return' and cannot go back to a save spot. Grrr... I will finish the game. If I restart, does it keep my clipboards, phone numbers, etc? Or, do I start over on those counts? Thanks in advance...

Thank you! Oh, that's an interesting challenge!

WOW! That is impressive, Hanni. Here is a harder one that's not an achievement: other than the words "temet nosche" that you already found by the Matrix sculpture - there are 3 Latin phrases somewhere on campus. One of them in particular might be too difficult to find, but they are all easily visible if you are in the correct location :)
