Is it possible to conceal Niles' coat on my person?

Carefully inspect the floor of the, Morgue, as well as the outside areas around the east bridge. Sweep away the snow if I need to! Are there any crumbs left behind at, any of these points?

There are absolutely no crumbs on the floor of the Morgue. You head to the bridge next and sweep away the snow, but... still no crumbs. You don't think you could tell if there WERE crumbs though, you imagine they would get carried away with the snow and wind.

Also, let's try another slippery bridge experiment.

Get an oil lantern on the surface of the bridge. Let some snow melt into water, covering the surface. Remove the lantern - let the fresh water turn to ice. How slippery is this new iced-up bridge?

You place the burning lantern on the bridge and let the snow melt, then remove it, leaving a small patch of ice. It is quite slippery, but it covers a very small surface area. You'd have to make many such circles to cover much of the bridge.

Check for crumbs in the Boiler Room, in front of the door to the Boiler Room, near the entrance to and inside the Sleep Lab, the Lobby, the Anomaly Hall, and for verification purposes, the Break Room, especially around the trap.

There are no crumbs in any of these areas except the Anomaly Hall, which has a trail of pizza rolls leading from the Lobby to the History Dorms, and the Lobby itself.

CHECK FERTILISER BAG FOR KNIFE

Does the bag of fertilizer we pulled from the lake have anything in it that it shouldn't?

I'm gonna pull a weird check, but is there any sign that the raft was opened and then sealed before being blown with air again?

The bag of fertilizer is not only still sealed, but there's nothing inside.

Does it look like 23's touched the raft in any capacity. Any tricks going on in there?

You mess around with the raft, looking extremely closely for any form of tampering or modification... it's just a regular old raft.

no.

Is it possible to conceal Niles' coat on my person?

You take the soggy Niles coat and wring it out. You find upon experimentation that you definitely can. You can wrap it around your body under your clothes, you can fold it and stuff it in your pants, there are plenty of ways to conceal a coat on your person if need be.

Riki go to woods door that Morgan mention, if Hom Hom lead there. Look kicked down? All lore gone? Other traces of Hom Hom things around?

You ask Morgan to lead you to the door he mentioned. He agrees to act as a guide, and the two of you enter the Black Forest, pushing past the dense treeline and entering the forest proper. The trees lessen the snowfall accumulation on the ground, making navigation ironically easier - though you still have no idea where you’re going.

You wander for… a while, eventually emerging in a clearing. You see a long, jagged rift carved into the ground, descending deeper than you can see, as well as a small building equipped with a radio tower. Whatever door was keeping the building closed has been reduced to rubble. As you take a closer look at the area, you see that a defensive trench has been built behind the building.

You step inside…

It looks to be… some kind of broadcasting or communications room. There are a few files in here, as well as a box of files reading “KILLING GAME LAB”. You leaf through the box, finding that it looks like a file or two is missing.

You inspect the controls for the broadcasting equipment, though the sole screen just displays an error message:

[ERROR: POWER DISABLED]

Hm. Well, you don’t know how to fix that, so you turn around and leave back the way you came. As you trudge through the snow, you spot a motionless shape through the treeline - a massive spider, curled up into a ball. It looks like the snow and low temperatures have rendered it inert for now, thankfully.

You wander through the snow and trees, until you find yourself at the Patio.

Pop!
Hello. Totally neutral fairy here to search Anomalies in the names of her fellow ghosts.

Check BPIs 3999, 3143, 1946 for anything that might help the living.

Hello. Totally neutral fairy here to search Anomalies in the names of her fellow ghosts.

Check BPIs 3999, 3143, 1946 for anything that might help the living.

You investigate the containment room for BPI-3143 first. It looks like multiple Anomalies were in here at one point, but now there's only a single electric kettle. Next, you check BPI-1946's containment room down in Counter Terrorism. It's... empty. Nothing in here.

Finally, you inspect BPI-3999. Three video tapes pop out of the machine.

Play the tapes

Play the tapes

You take the three VHS tapes and turn on VHS Receiver after plugging it into the Meeting Room projector.

One by one, you insert and play the tapes...

Tape 1

A woman in a string bikini and bad dark purple wig stands in front of a poorly-painted cardboard backdrop resembling the Telluric Seal. She poses with a pair of what are clearly prop guns, gesturing seductively at the camera with fingers ending in red-painted nails.

The camera swivels to show another approaching. A man in a muscle shirt and equally shitty blue wig, his face painted chrome and outlined with red. Despite his face paint, he clearly has a handlebar mustache he's refused to shave. His hips sway as he approaches the woman, grasping her around the waist. They stare longingly into each other's eyes as sax music plays, while a man in a black bodysuit pushes a tank of ice water onto the scene.

The woman goes in for a kiss, but the face painted man lifts her over his head and hurls her into the ice water.

The tape ends.

Tape 2

A man wearing nothing but a banana hammock, poorly constructed mantis claws made out of cardboard, and a dragon mask is shown in a cafeteria, boiling hot dogs on the stove. He plucks one out, licking it seductively before walking into the room next door. The scene changes with a spiral wipe, to show the masked man dancing in the middle of a room poorly decorated with nothing but IKEA chairs and rocks, pumping a power drill in the air.

A second masked man enters, this one wearing a fancy business suit. He locks eyes with the man in the dragon mask, and slowly begins stripping off his tie, joining in the dance. A funky club beat begins to play as the two just fucking break it down.

Still dancing, the man in the Lion Mask reaches under one of the IKEA chairs and pulls out a gardening hoe. The music still playing, he begins beating the dragon masked man on the ass with it. As the music concludes, he lifts the hoe and chops the dragon masked man's head off. Blood sprays everywhere as lion mask stares at the camera, unblinking

Tape 3

Pea is standing on the bridge in the Facility Grounds, snow whipping violently around him. The only source of light, a small gas lantern burning at his feet.

He examines a bloody rigging knife in his hand and smiles knowingly, before placing it in his pocket and walking inside.
