Opening Spoilers: Arriving in St. Amelia
- Begin with Simon reaching St. Amelia after an ambiguous arrival from the sea near the dock.
- Move into the apparently abandoned town while Simon tries to understand what is happening there.
- Follow the shouting and flashes through the city streets until the town square is revealed as empty of people.
- Treat the ringing pay phone as the opening objective that pushes Simon toward finding Zoe.
Opening Route
- Answer the ringing pay phone and listen as the voice pushes Simon to find a woman named Zoe.
- Continue after Simon is transported into the red-lit underground structure that marks the Otherworld sequence.
- Explore the underground structure until it impossibly leads Simon into an apartment.
- Pick up the hand-held TV, then tune its signals because the CRTV provides puzzle hints.
- Use the TV signal clue to access the elevator that returns Simon to the streets of St. Amelia.
- Visit Zoe’s empty apartment, learn that she is a nurse, and follow that lead to the clinic where she worked.
- Collect Zoe’s ID badge from her apartment, the prescription with the wrong dosage from the pharmacy, and the medical bag containing a broken stethoscope from her coworker’s apartment.
- Return to Zoe’s clinic office, where three scales await objects important to her, and connect the objects to the failures behind her disappearance from work.
Progress Markers
Stuck in the apartment? Return to the CRTV and tune its signal for the clue that opens the elevator back to St. Amelia.
At the clinic, focus on Zoe’s three personal objects: her apartment ID badge, the pharmacy prescription error, and the medical bag with the broken stethoscope. Their meanings connect to the scales in her office.
