The Desert


You open your eyes in what appears to be a barren desert. Movement is possible using the directional buttons. However, after a few steps, the screen begins to compress and close in.



You can fight back by pressing the indicated button — the Spacebar if you're on PC. But it’s a temporary fix. Soon, the screen fades into darkness. That marks the true beginning of the game.
The House


You’re inside a bathroom, staring at a shattered mirror. Sticky notes surround the frame. Turn away and exit.




Head down the narrow hallway while the narrator speaks. On your left, attached to the railing, there’s a note titled Moving Progress. Continue to the end of the corridor and take the stairs on the right to reach the lower floor.



At the bottom, make a right turn. There’s a small chest sitting on a table. It turns out to be Grandmother Dolores’ chest, but the key’s whereabouts remain unknown.



On your right is a door that leads to the basement. Open it and descend. Walk toward the table to spot a note (That Symbol Again…) and a word card (Casa = House).



Go back upstairs to the main level and head toward the front door. Near the telephone stand, check the trash bin for the note titled In Loving Memory….



Resting on the phone table next to the phone, you’ll find the Home Key. With everything in place, step outside through the front door.

As you leave, the screen fades to black — transitioning into Tuesday.
The Next Two Days


You’re once again facing the broken mirror in the upstairs bathroom. As before, turn around and make your way downstairs. The moment you reach the stairwell, the scene fades, ushering in the next day.



You come to, facing the mirror yet again—only now, it’s night. As you step into the hallway, a sudden noise breaks the silence, and the narrator comments on something that has fallen.




Make your way to the lower level and head toward the phone table. Your Sketchbook lies on the floor nearby — pick it up and browse through the pages. The narrator will mention that several are missing. Attempt to open the front door, but discover it’s locked.



Head back to the bathroom upstairs. On the sink, the Home Keys are waiting. Grab them, then make your way down to the ground floor. Step out through the front door to move forward into the next day.
Thursday Night


Once again, you’re facing the shattered mirror in the upstairs bathroom. Step away and start your descent. As you near the sofa, the silence breaks — the phone begins to ring.



Answer the phone downstairs and listen to the ominous voice.



When the call finishes, head down to the basement. Move toward the table, but before reaching it, notice a piece of cardboard lying on the floor. Something’s concealed beneath it. Interact with it to uncover a hidden trapdoor.



Lift the trapdoor and engage with it. When prompted by the game, select “Yes” to descend into the depths below.
