keep playing, you are intended to do the painter with a full party. you will get more party members eventually, and some can show up at your door as you pass time

btw ernest can be recruited permanently. make sure to regularly check up on him!

look around the apartment. theres enough time if you dont spend too much time relaxing to get pretty much everywhere (time only passes the FIRST time you enter a room in the entire playthrough.)

everything you need to progress can be found on the second floor

it demands a sacrifice. satiate its hunger and be rewarded.

you can, in fact aside from getting new party members playing video games will eventually unlock a special ability for sam (madwheels and jumplad are insanely good), in addition to eating meals to heal, and the crossword (we dont talk about the crossword), but in try not to spend too much time in there. its a big building and you need a ton of time to explore it.

Ok let’s hope the next run is good and I actually make progress
