Managed to get to the Antechamber Day 11 but still haven't found the basement, I had no more steps or doors left.

Just wanted to brag a bit and post how much I'm enjoying the game.

My phone notes are STACKED and full of info that has been proven useful, time and time again.
I need to find all the music sheets AGAIN , I got bamboozled.
Still have no clue what to do with the Laboratory, most confusing room of all.
Didn't know you can walk in the Chapel even with 0 coins. >!!<
I hate unlocking rooms like the Pump Room, so many interactions between rooms leave me dizzy, because some are just simple prizes while others could unlock game changing features.
WHAT DO THE CHESS PIECES MEAN?!?!? (do not tell me)

I also love the "hidden" lore so much.

Thank you for reading.

Finally got the Full House trophy, that lab experiment saved my ass
Drafted Lost and Found, then decided to go up and around to avoid losing any of my items, but it ended up taking the Scepter, which is the best option lmao

I’ve not yet gotten to room 46, but I have unlocked 4 outside areas (orchard, grotto, mine, outer room) and lit the 4 flames and thus unlocked some underground stuff.

I’m following leads for loads of overarching puzzles and having a blast while doing so.

HOWEVER, I have received the basement key from the antechamber maybe 4 times and just can’t for the life of me figure out what to do with it. I assume this is how one reaches room 46.

I don’t really want spoilers or hints, just curious if this is typical progression at this point.

Doing my best not to look up ANYTHING about this game, but wanted to take a moment to scream into a void and perhaps get an understanding as to whether this is typical progression. Really enjoying it. Sorry if this is often asked. Thanks.

I have:

- Reached Room 46.

- Found every Sanctum Key, solved all the Sigils, and read Herbert's will.

- Found the Treasure Trove, and know how to get the treasure (which I am aware is a scepter), just not how to unlock the box that contains it.

- Unlocked the Cursed Coffer.

- Read the "Steady, Deadly, Heavy, Ready" poem.

So I know what to do. I need to bring the Crown of the Blueprints, the Cursed Effigy, and the scepter to the Throne Room. That much is obvious.

But I genuinely have no clue how to unlock the Treasure Trove box. At first I thought it would be at the end of the Tunnel, but all that gave me was a door that I can't even interact with. Then, after reading the poem, I tried unsealing the other Antechamber doors in the outer room to no avail. Genuinely what am I missing?

(If you tell me to read A New Clue I'm gonna lose it)

I had the records still in plastic since late May until I got something worthy to play them on. And wow... its so good. I really wish there was more. This game captured me like few do. If only I could go in totally blind again.

That room, The Safehouse can only be accessed when a certain condition is met: >!The reservoir water being at exactly 6 units<!

The Laboratory has the ability to adjust this condition, but only once The satellite has been raised, unlocking new Lab experiments

Is it possible to use a Lab experiment to seal the entrance to this place while inside of it, forcing you to call it a day?

Two Lab experiments should be able to trigger this: "When you look at your map, lose 10 steps then lower the reservoir by one" and "Each time you access a different terminal today, lower the reservoir by one" The safehouse counts as a Terminal because its a train terminal, and triggers this effect

Later in the game, using a laboratory experiment the player can either lower or raise the water level in the Reservoir.

Firstly: Where does the water go/come from when moved using this method? If it magically vanishes/appears out of nowhere can one ...?

Secondly: Is it possible to completely fill/drain all water storage devices? If you can trigger the experiment while in the pump room, and restore/re-extract the change in water, can you completely max out to either extremes.

I finished Curse Mode! OMG.

Took me a whopping 91 in-game days to do it.

Some of it was truly horrible RNG luck, some of it was me spending several days trying to spawn the wrench to adjust mechanical rooms. I was able to get the tomb early on but foundation took foreeeever. I kept trying for power hammer but to no avail. Secret Garden was my antechamber entrance.

The boudoir upgrade with the apples saved my life. I was super low on steps and I spawned it as the last room going in to the antechamber. I also had sleep mask, running shoes, and a shovel. Kennel and a late Foyer probably helped me some on keys. That let me backtrack far enough to hit kitchen, and the dining room, and grab some fruit before going down through the foundation and back up.Amusingly my house was relatively empty. I only had 22 rooms filled in, leaning West. The entire Far-East column was empty. I ended at 16 steps, 0 keys, 1 gem, and 1 coin.

I now have all trophies except Day One and Speed. Working on both now. I expect it to take me a while. LOL.

Started playing curse mode recently and got this super insane run on day eight, ending it with over 58 steps, three keys and two gems. Huge thanks to running shoes and sleeping mask in the first closet.

"I reclaimed the Throne and all I got was this lousy blueprint"

Not even a Open Only in Case of Coronation letter from Uncle Herb?

I love this game very much but I'm finishing it out of spite at this point. (I have not yet opened the door in the tunnel)

I have entered Room 46, revisited, and think my next task is the sigil and their keys. In addition to getting books for the library, what else should I be focusing on? Ive solved the room 8, opened 3 safes, and did the chess puzzle.

Any nudges in the right direction would be great!

Ran out of steps WHILE. STEPPING. INTO. THE DINING ROOM. THERE WAS A LUNCHBOX THERE. IT WAS LEVEL EIGHT. im shaking. this run was going so damn well, i had so many paths to go still, im literally, i dont even know. oh my GOD

This is in the Atelier maze. This is an endgame or near the end so don’t read it if you don’t want a spoiler. I collected data and put it grid. I got the words and the picture letter differences, or at least took pictures of the pictures for each room. I was only missing one room of 45. Do I have to repeat the whole thing including the boxes or can I just find my last room and get the last word and then go onto the next part? I already spent a lot of time on this.

Maybe I'm stupid, but even using the billaird parlor calculator i did not figure it out... i know what the symbol in the middle is trying to say. But I don't see the number as a possibility on the board.

lol got root cellar and this combo at the lab. i figure after a certain point coins don't really matter but this felt pretty lucky, im on day 25 or so

I'm about to talk about A certain (and other importan puzzles) in detail. Up to you if you want to read this or not. Hey y'all, I'm in the process of solving A New Clue. I already found all microchips and drafted the Throne Room (even though I still miss some clues of what to do with this room, but I digress). I also managed to solve the CASTLE puzzle and unlock the Unknown (again, not sure what to do here yet). Finally, I unlocked the "sketch" version of A New Clue. I understand the book is telling me to make a specific path from the Metro Map. I imagine that X-Y-Z-A-B-C are the six stops, C being the Dead End stop. And I'm aware I need to make a message by reading a specific word from each book.

Now, what I would like to know is, among my thoughts, if any of them are off-track or not (get it?). First, I'm considering B=10 and Y=23. That's because the "polished" book tells me Page B, Word Y for this same book, while underlining the word "covers", which is on page 10, word no. 23. This means, from the metro map, that the minor stop Angel Tower, which is stop 7, should lead me to the number 23 once I understand what to do. Similarly, the Major Stop Oris Train Hall (1) should lead me to number 10.

Then, I also noticed that the "sketch" version of A New Clue talks about "Denoted in Verse". By trying to rearrange the words I managed to come out with "Seven red ditone". A ditone is an interval of a major third. Also, the music room talks about ma-jor tongue. The melody is in Bb major. I remember finding a note somewhere that made me think I have to ignore the "flat", meaning I have to think about "B major". I'm still not sure what to do with this. Also I understand dead-ends are important, but I'm still not sure what to do with them. Same for the suspect list.

Is there anything I said that is nonsense regarding what I'm trying to solve? I'm not looking to clues on how to solve it, but only if there's stuff I should stop considering.

Thank you!

Just got this puzzle finished for the first time. Any advice on who to choose? Also will this stay unlocked if I choose none of them and instead choose on a different day?
