Similar to the 1st game, I’m writing this walkthrough not only because I ran into a game-breaking glitch, but some of the logic is hilariously bad. At least the graphics are leagues better! Hopefully like the 1st game, restarting the game will allow me to move forward. We’ll find out!
Game Start
Watch the intro cinematics
Tutorial
Answer the phone (oh, look, it’s Sara from the first game!)

Look at the vine-covered wall and take the Map and Batteries
Look at the gate, take the Searchlight, then combine it with the Batteries
Use the light on the hazardous barrels
Hidden Object: Gate
I realize that the games just use the same objects over and over again
Get the Supervisor’s Diary
Open the inventory and check it out to get the Demolition Kit Code which you will now use on the lockbox to the right

Go down into the Elevator
Combine the two items there: Fishing Rod + Fishing String
Go back up to the Roof, use the Fishing Rod on the tree beyond the pile of junk for a Rag

Look at the machine to the right

Press the lines until you create the Bura Pharmacy sign
Use the Brush on the floor
Take the Snake Grabber and Test Tube
Use the Oil on the red lever
Now that the blue laser is turned off (it was just on unsupervised and just doing whatever for days now…?), combine the Radiation Gun + Radiation Cell, and use it on the green mist in the crevice
Use the Snake Grabber to get the Blank Card, then use it on the console in the orange machine
The console is the same as the train in the 1st game, and the test tubes fitting on the logo to unlock something is another blowback to the 1st game. On my 2nd playthrough, making the Access Card glitched out where it didn’t actually run the animation… I hope that doesn’t bode poorly for later in the game since I restarted the game because a major glitch broke my 1st playthrough… Interestingly enough, I made the walkthrough guide for the 1st game because it glitched out something awful, too.
Use the Access Card to open the door, then go in
Look at the robot, take the Brick and Tube
Look at the door, take the Chip
Look at the junk pile

Get a Drill Machine and Screwdriver
Go into the vault
Look at the plant, take the Fuel Container
Look at the barrels, take the Flame Thrower, Knife, and Muffin
Use the Drill Machine and Fuel Container on the barrel (you might have to click on the barrel first)
Combine Flame Thrower + Fuel Container+ Tube, then use it on the crazy machine
Take the Electric Wire from underneath the laser beams
Go through the door
Talk to the workers
Look at the junk pile
Hidden Object: Containment Room
Get Stick and Radiation Cell
Right around here is where my 1st playthrough broke the game. I think I used the radiation gun before plugging up the steam pipe. I never used the muffin at all in my first playthrough and it stayed in my inventory despite there being no steam
Use the Muffin in the pipe of the console where the steam is leaking from, take the Key, then use it on the wall cubby for Fingerprint Paper
Use the Radiation Gun on the green mist, then Screwdriver and Electric Wire
This is definitely what glitched out in the first game. I was never able to access the panel to use the screwdriver or power cord. I just used the radiation gun and suddenly I was playing the door pressure puzzle, the game progressed, and the workers inside disappeared. I couldn’t do anything and had to restart the game. No matter of closing and opening solved it
Glass Door Lock Puzzle
Move the bars until they’re in the right orientation (For whatever reason, the game accepted this version of my puzzle as the solution)
Listen to the workers
Click on the shiny junk pile
Hidden Object: Containment Room #2

Go through

Look at the bush, take the 2 File Pieces and Fishing Net
Look at the door to the right, take the Ladder and File Piece
Look at the floor below the plants, take the 2 File Pieces and Suction Pump
Look at the stairs, take the Radiation Cell and get rid of the green mist
Combine Suction Pump + Batteries, then use it on the green liquid
Take the 2 File Pieces and go down the stairs
Look at the water to the left, take the 2 File Pieces and Bug Spray, then use the Fishing Net on the water to get a Plaque Tile
Click on the junk pile in the back
Hidden Object: Courtyard
Get Sledgehammer and File Piece
Go back and use the Sledgehammer on the ground below the plants, for Dr. Goodwin File and Plaque Tile
You should have all the pieces by now, so combine Dr. Goodwin File + File Pieces x10
Use the Bug Spray on the bush, then take the Plaque Tile
Go down to the green mist, and use the Ladder on the barbed wire
Use the Plaque Tile x3
Green Energy Puzzle
Using the clue from Dr. Goodwin’s file, solve the lightning bolt puzzle. Basically, just turn all the green thunderbolts so that they point Southeast (I almost beat it and then got stuck on the last lightning bolt. Oh well.)
Watch the cutscene, then click on the junk pile again
Hidden Object: Courtyard #2
Get Trowel and Sponge
Use Sponge on mossy box in front of the water, get the Gloves, then go to where the drone is and use it on the thorns for Bullets

Take the Evidences x2 and Grappling Hook
Combine Grappling Hook + Rope, then use it on the walkway above
Go up
Talk to the villain
Take the Syphon Pipe next to the column
Go back and click on the junk pile again
Hidden Object: Helipad #2
Get Crowbar and Boot
Back up at the helipad, use the Crowbar on the panel on the column
Helipad Laser Puzzle
Drag the lasers so they all point at the middle
Take the Key and Walking Stick from under the villain
Look at the net to the left, take the Container
Use the Boot on the raven, then the Walking Stick on the net
Look at the tail of the plane, use in order: Key, Container, then Syphon Pump
Use the Diesel on the Chainsaw underneath, then use it on the Net
No, the game didn’t glitch out, go down to where the wolf was, take the Net, then use it on the villain (because that’ll somehow hold him safelycaptive)
