How to Use the Flashlight to Solve Every Puzzle

This isn't a repeat of the Overview page -- it's a practical look at using the core flashlight mechanic effectively, based on official materials ahead of the August 10 launch.

Check Both States Before Committing

Since the flashlight reveals the past state of the environment, get in the habit of checking a room in both its present and past-revealed form before assuming a puzzle only has one visible path forward. Solutions are confirmed to hinge on this back-and-forth comparison.

Explore Fully for the Best Ending

Since multiple endings are confirmed, and the game specifically encourages exploring deeper into the facility to uncover its mysteries, resist rushing toward the most obvious exit -- thorough exploration is confirmed to genuinely shape how the story concludes.

Treat Environmental Details as Real Clues

Since the mystery at the heart of the facility is confirmed as a genuine narrative thread uncovered through exploration, pay attention to environmental storytelling rather than treating the abandoned structure as purely a puzzle backdrop.
