I think this was my very first ever Game Guide, and I nev­er fin­ished it because the last lev­el left me ill with motion sick­ness. It is now 2025 and some­one asked me to com­plete it, so I shall now attempt to rewrite the entire guide (hope­ful­ly I don’t get too ill in the same place again…)

Escape From the Sealed Room — 16 riddles of the beginning

Warn­ing: If you eas­i­ly get motion sick­ness from FPS style of games (like me), this game may not be for you!! There’s a lot of repeat­ed rotat­ing of rooms in the first-per­son view!

Stage 1: Prologue (Tutorial)

Solu­tion:

E=IV; W=5; S=1; N=2

Why is every­thing so dark in this game?

ESCAPED!

Oooo… Start­ing to feel the effects of motion sick­ness already! After only 3 stages!

Stage 4: Stowaway

You decide to stow­away on the S.S. Yuho and end up knocked out and impris­oned in a nasty bath­room. Cap­tured again. Sigh.

  • Turn Right
  • Take Toi­let Paper above the uri­nal
  • Exam­ine to reveal a Key
  • Still in the inven­to­ry, exam­ine left­over Toi­let Paper Spool: rotate it to reveal “8”

  • Use the Mop to smash the mir­ror to reveal a… safe? A door? A way out??

Door Code Puzzle

Fig­ure out the 3‑digit code

Solu­tion: 813

  • Sea­wa­ter rush­es in! (Behind a mir­ror is a super con­ve­nient place to put a hatch with a lad­der in it…)

ESCAPED!

Stage 5: Memories

You stare at the flick­er­ing light, con­fused, and remem­ber that you’re in the stor­age room of your house where your dad used to lock you when you were bad as a kid. This is a mem­o­ry of escap­ing.

  • Pick up the bro­ken Holy Grail
  • Turn Left or Right x2
  • Place the Stone Tablet into the relief

  • Take the Stone Tablet and the bro­ken piece of the Holy Grail
  • Rotate and exam­ine the stem por­tion of the Holy Grail + Holy Grail
  • Place it where the sword was, and then Orb on top of that
  • Go out of the room

  • Take the Stone Tablet
  • Go back into the orb room and then up
  • Take the Stone Tablet
  • Go back to the head­stone
  • Try to take the Sword. It snaps
  • Turn Left to wall relief
  • Take the Stone Tablet (the one you placed ear­li­er)
  • Go Up
  • Use the Bro­ken Sword on the sar­coph­a­gus (ignore the stone tablet on the ground to the right of the sar­coph­a­gus)

Sarcophagus Puzzle

Place the Stone Tablet x3 in the cor­rect spots (Hint: exam­ine the tablets for num­ber of wings. You have extra tablets)

Solu­tion: UL — 6, UR — 3, Mid­dle — 8

ESCAPED!

I’m begin­ning to think that they changed some of the puz­zles since I last played. Also, they’ve fixed a few of the con­trols, too. Some of the orig­i­nal­ly super frus­trat­ing ele­ments have been real­ly stream­lined

Stage 7: Plant

Out­side the ruin, you end up in a con­crete lined cor­ri­dor and enter a door with the key and pass­word left by your father. Inside is an exper­i­men­tal facil­i­ty adorned with the emblem of a large nation­wide cor­po­ra­tion! Time to fig­ure this out!

**You can pull the lever first to turn on the pow­er if you’d like, or you can col­lect the 3 ores and key first. It does­n’t mat­ter**

  • The mon­i­tor in front of you is not on. If you pull the switch, it turns on, open­ing a small hatch in the mid­dle, a key­pad for four num­bers, a blocky thing in the mon­i­tor, a count­down timer on the right screen, and a series of col­ored bars on the left mon­i­tor. Turn­ing the pow­er off will NOT stop the timer
  • Turn Right
  • Inspect the low­er left of the door, take tri­an­gle-shaped Red Ore
  • Turn Right
  • Inspect the low­er left cor­ner of the screen, take the square-shaped Blue Ore
  • Turn Right
  • Inspect the mid­dle bot­tom of the screen, take the long, blocky Yel­low Ore
  • Turn Right
  • Under the 2 but­tons, take the Key
  • Turn Right to the con­sole you start­ed in front of
  • Use the Key in the blue slot on the low­er left
  • A card will pop up and the timer will be replaced with an image of a bomb
  • The shape on the mon­i­tor tells you what to place in the small hatch next to the pow­er switch. Each cor­rect ore place­ment will reset the timer to 10 min­utes.

WARNING: You can explode (fail) if the timer runs out and/or the bomb stays on the screen too long. Be sure to place the ores to increase the timer! *BUT* The timer won’t stack, so don’t try to put all the ores in at once or you’ll only have 10 min­utes to get the claw machine work­ing

  • Use the Yel­low Ore
Place it in the mid­dle hatch there
  • Equip the blue Lev­el 1 Card Key, and put it in the ele­va­tor con­sole (the one with the up and down arrows)
  • Hit the down but­ton
  • Turn Left
  • Take the Emp­ty Cap­sule on the floor under the con­sole steps
  • Turn Left
  • Take anoth­er Emp­ty Cap­sule
  • Go for­wards to the large table and see a “4” and a “7” paint­ed in green on it
  • Turn Right
  • Note the small­er table with a “9” and “3” (Note: be sure to click on all the num­bers)
  • Take anoth­er Emp­ty Cap­sule from the ground to the right of the small­er table
  • Go back up to the top floor and remove the Card Key from the ele­va­tor con­sole
  • Look at the main con­trol con­sole
  • Use the Card Key above the key slot

Access Code Puzzle

Using the num­bers clue from the bot­tom floor, fig­ure out the code

Solu­tion: 4379

  • Get a red Lev­el 2 Key Card
  • Turn Left x2
  • Use the Key Card in the claw machine.
  • Take 4 ore (You can car­ry 4 at a time)
  • Remove the Card Key
  • Refresh the timer with an Ore (be sure to grab anoth­er after you refresh the timer), and use the Card Key on the ele­va­tor con­sole
  • Go to the bot­tom floor, again
  • Remove Card Key from the ele­va­tor con­sole
  • Turn Left
  • Use the Card Key on the machine which opens 3 hatch­es
  • Place an emp­ty cap­sule and 2 ores in

Note: If you are try­ing to get rid of ore col­ors, just dump it into the main con­sole even if it’s the wrong col­or

Colored Capsule Puzzle

You need to make three col­ored cap­sules: blue, red and green (Hint: Repeat the claw machine game until you get all the nec­es­sary ore col­ors. Ugh­hh)

Solu­tion:

Blue Cap­sule: red and blue ore

Red Cap­sule: red and yel­low ore

Green Cap­sule: green and blue ore

  • Grab the Card Key
  • Go back up a lev­el
  • Refresh your timer with a new ore
  • Turn off the main switch at the con­sole
  • Place the Cap­sules x3 into the incu­ba­tors in vary­ing com­bi­na­tions to see all of the sym­bols cor­re­spond­ing to their col­ors (6 total)

Here is an exam­ple of col­or com­bi­na­tion where the red and blue cap­sules give you pink, with the sym­bol inside of it. The stu­pid game is extreme­ly picky about where you have to click to place the cap­sules in the holes… that part they did NOT fix

  • Be care­ful, the timer keeps tick­ing down despite turn­ing off the pow­er…
  • Turn on the pow­er again
  • Remove, then place the Card Key in the slot in the pan­el next to the door to the right

Symbol Door Code Puzzle

Fig­ure out the door code using the clues uncov­ered! (Hint: The left mon­i­tor with the col­ored lines at the main con­sole tells you the order of sym­bols as it cor­re­lates with the col­ors)

Solu­tion:

Col­or Order: Yel­low, Light-Blue, Green, Pink, Red, Blue

ESCAPED! …Or… NOT?!?!?!

Stage 8: Space — Part 1

Abduct­ed into an alien space­ship!!! Yet again you wake up star­ing at a ceil­ing and find your­self on a flat table with a nice view of space and of Earth out­side. The same cor­po­rate sym­bol adorns the large door. Game on!

  • Inspect the low­er-left cor­ner of the door and take the green Round Object

If you hit the blue but­ton to the Left of the table you were lying on, you open the ceil­ing and will get sucked out if you don’t close it. While the game gives you ample room for errors, you will even­tu­al­ly run out of air and fail the lev­el if you make too many errors (I want to say maybe 10–15 wrong answers?)

  • Turn Right from the door
  • Take the green Cord from the machine
  • Turn Right
  • There’s a hatch that clos­es too quick­ly
  • Use the Round Object. It will break
  • Pick up the Pur­ple Mem­o­ry Disc
  • Turn Right to the con­sole
  • Take the Blue Mem­o­ry Disc
  • Use the Pur­ple Mem­o­ry Disc in the same slot you got the blue one from

Purple Memory Disc Puzzle

This is Minesweep­er! The yel­low dots on the side indi­cate the time you have to make a deci­sion. Click on the Green tiles, uncov­er­ing the blueish tiles, but be care­ful not to click on a bomb or you lose! The sym­bols tell you how many bombs are around that par­tic­u­lar tile

If you make even 1 error, the ceil­ing opens up and you have to move Right one screen and push the blue but­ton to close it

Hint: The puz­zle is the same every time, so if you save and reload and keep at it even­tu­al­ly you’ll get the answer (the con­trols are so sen­si­tive that I kept fail­ing because my fin­gers kept hit­ting the wrong tiles)

  • Take the Pur­ple Mem­o­ry Disc
  • Turn Right
  • Take the new­ly appeared Mechan­i­cal Mass A
  • Turn Right
  • Use the Cord on the upper-mid por­tion of the pil­lar
  • Press the hatch but­ton
  • Go Up
  • Take the Mechan­i­cal Mass B
  • Go Down
  • Close the hatch, and take back the Cord
  • Go Left x2
  • Use Mechan­i­cal Mass A on the hatch that clos­es too quick­ly
  • Take the Green Mem­o­ry Disc and Mechan­i­cal Mass A
  • Return to the con­sole

Green Memory Disc Puzzle

Anoth­er Minesweep­er game!

  • Take Mechan­i­cal Mass C (hmm… Start­ing to look kin­da like a robot…)

Blue Memory Disc Puzzle (Optional)

This puz­zle is unnec­es­sary to progress in the game. The only ben­e­fit is restor­ing all the air to the cab­in by plac­ing the Cap­sule received from com­plet­ing it in the blue machine next to where you got the green cord

Anoth­er Minesweep­er game!

  • Go Left
  • Use Cord where you got it from
  • Look at the green round there… OH! It’s a ROBOT!
  • Use Mechan­i­cal Mass A, B, and C (tires on the bot­tom, arms on the side and head on top)
  • Use the Green Mem­o­ry Disc in the slot on the left
  • It’s a pro­ject­ed image from… your dad? He gives you the instruc­tions on how to open the door and tells you to remem­ber them!
  • Use the Pur­ple Mem­o­ry Disc in the slot (if you place the blue one, the ceil­ing will open up) and the robot will move
  • Direct it to the pan­el beside the door which it opens… but you won’t be able to do any­thing, yet
  • Turn Right
  • Remove the Robot’s Arms, then use them on the pen-look­ing thing next to the Minesweep­er con­sole
  • Take the Tool
  • Go back to the door lock

Door Lock Circuit Puzzle

Remem­ber what dad said: “You want to make all the black parts of the cir­cuit red or blue with that tool. Con­nect all of the squares with the same col­or togeth­er to open the door. But you can’t make a 2x2 block of the same col­or. That’ll short the cir­cuit.

Hint: They helped you with the col­ors already. Change the col­or of the tool by exam­in­ing the thick part of the pen

ESCAPED!!

Stage 8: Space — Part 2

This is the lev­el where I orig­i­nal­ly quit because it made me motion-sick­ness-ill with all the rotat­ing. If you suf­fer from that, too, be warned!

Maps

One impor­tant thing to note is that in this lev­el, the whole point is to press the but­tons which rotate the floors and col­ored cir­cuits, allow­ing you to open doors and unlock items. It gets insane­ly con­fus­ing!!! I’ve includ­ed maps even though tech­ni­cal­ly, you don’t get that until lat­er

Nor­mal Map

180-Degree Ori­en­ta­tion Maps

Here is a dia­gram of every room and their 180-degree rota­tion ori­en­ta­tions

Blue Room nev­er rotates; Red Room can rotate, but the blue cir­cuit line won’t change (just the ori­en­ta­tion of the but­ton and items in it)

Level Start!

  • Go Right, then For­ward
  • Take the Blue Sphere from the Blue Room
  • Go back and head through the door with­out the wall but­tons
  • This is the Grey Con­sole Room
  • Place it in the tall machine with the green ball of ener­gy.

This allows the wall but­tons in each room to rotate the room ori­en­ta­tion 180 degrees!!

  • Go through the lit­tle hole in the wall. You’ll end up in a Pink Hatch Room
  • Go through the only open door into the Pur­ple Room
  • Turn Right
  • Turn Left, fol­low­ing the 1‑lighted dou­ble to the Escape Pod Room
  • Fac­ing the escape pod, click on the right-side con­sole
  • Take the Hand­gun
  • Leave through the door
  • Go Left through door with wall but­ton
  • Press the wall but­ton ahead which will rotate the room
  • Turn Left
Upper Right room has been rotat­ed to com­plete the blue cir­cuit
  • You are in the Red Room
  • Look at arti­cles on the floor
  • Note­book: “I’ve fig­ured out how to start the escape pod. I knew that you need­ed a key and ener­gy, but I had­n’t noticed that you need to apply ener­gy twice. But it’s all over now… They’ve caught up to me. If only I could make it back home, where my son…
  • Take Belt
  • Exam­ine to get Bul­let

Getting the Black Key

  • Go back to the Pink Room with the hatch
  • Press the but­ton to rotate it
Rotat­ed
  • Go into the Yel­low Room
  • Rotate it
Rotat­ed
  • Go through the now-lit 3 col­or bun­dle
  • You’re in the Gray Con­sole Room
  • Go for­ward through the orange and green to the Orange Room
  • Spin the room

Here are the side-by-side maps before rota­tion and after rota­tion of the pink, yel­low, and orange rooms to com­plete the green cir­cuit. Green starts and ter­mi­nates.

Start­ing Ori­en­ta­tion
End­ing Ori­en­ta­tion
  • Look at the lit­tle green con­sole on the ground
The green line on the ground needs to pow­ered to get the key
  • Take the Black Key

Getting the Green Sphere

Tar­get: Black Room (South-West Cor­ner) — Orange cir­cuit

Full Map
Zoomed in Map
  • Ori­ent the orange lines so that it starts in the Blue Room (South East) and ter­mi­nates in the Black Room (South West)
  • Take the Green Sphere from the Black Room
  • Go back to the Gray Con­sole Room, but DON’T put the new sphere in the machine yet. We’re going to make sure the pur­ple and top mid­dle green rooms are ori­ent­ed cor­rect­ly first.
  • Rotate the Gray Con­sole Room
  • Go through the hatch into the Pink Room and through the door­way in the Pur­ple Room
  • Ori­ent the Pur­ple and Mid­dle Top Green Rooms to this ori­en­ta­tion:
  • Go back to the Gray Con­sole Room (Pur­ple, then Pink, then hatch)
  • Before it gets con­fus­ing, I saved here
  • Swap out the Blue Sphere for the Green Sphere.

You should be able to rotate the rooms 90-degrees now

Getting The Empty Capsule

Tar­get: Pur­ple Room (North-West Cor­ner) — Blue Cir­cuit

With the above infor­ma­tion in mind, then the rooms should line up like THIS:

Except NOTTTTTT!!! Nah. That would make too much sense!!

Instead, the real and prop­er ori­en­ta­tion is THIS:

The Pur­ple Room is the last room to spin. Note the Red Room’s ori­en­ta­tion with the emp­ty device fac­ing that direc­tion, and the Pink Room’s Orange and Blue lines. BTW, I used THIS SOURCE to fig­ure this out because this game tru­ly is a revamped ver­sion of that orig­i­nal game. How in the world they fig­ured this out, I have no idea. It’s pret­ty much impos­si­ble log­i­cal­ly.

  • With the Emp­ty Cap­sule acquired, fii­i­inal­ly, return to the Red Room
  • Use the Emp­ty Cap­sule on that device to get a Cap­sule Filled with Light

Final Push

  • Go back to the escape pod room
  • This is a good place to save the game!
  • Use Black Key on the left con­sole when fac­ing the escape pod

If you look below the left con­sole after you put in the Black Key, there’s a Pur­ple Key that if placed into the con­sole in the Gray Con­sole Room, would give you a map at a super incon­ve­nient part of the lev­el. It’s unnec­es­sary now.

  • Use the Cap­sule Filled with Light on the right­most con­sole when fac­ing the pod
  • Pick up the Gun
  • Remove the Black Key
  • Try to leave the room
  • A mon­ster?!

If you can’t fig­ure it out fast enough, the mon­ster will come in and erase all your mem­o­ries. FAILURE

  • Use the Belt on the door han­dles
  • But that’s not enough, so use either Key in the left con­sole to lock the door
  • Wait around a bit and you’ll get this scary cutscene. But it’s okay because of the belt!! It leaves… for now.

WARNING: From here on out, there will be a mon­ster on your tail as you wan­der about the maze.

  • Leave the escape pod room by remov­ing the Black Key and go back to the Red Room
  • Refill the Emp­ty Cap­sule
  • Return to the pod room, use it in the right most con­sole
  • Go back to the Red Room again
  • Refill the Emp­ty Cap­sule
  • Equip it
  • Save if you’d like

When the eyes show up, you have a few sec­onds to per­form some actions:

1. Use the Filled Cap­sule on the ceil­ing

2. Go through anoth­er door

3. Turn around to face the mon­ster. You should see the cap­sule on the ceil­ing

4. Use the gun on the cap­sule

  • Check out the Mon­ster Hand

  • Insert the Black Key into the con­sole
  • Use the Mon­ster Hand on the escape pod
  • Get in

Watch the End Sequence

**SPOILER**

You crash land back on Earth and get out into a build­ing that looks… famil­iar. Turns out it’s the FIRST LEVEL OF THE GAME. You’ve some­how gone back in time which means that you have a chance to save your dad because now you know all the answers and can do it all faster! Hooray!

Now, time for to go lie down because I’m super ill again!

NOTES

I was con­tact­ed by Li Ao (the one who start­ed me re-vis­it­ing this guide to begin with) and informed that this game is actu­al­ly a revamped ver­sion of the DS game: Sim­ple DS Vol­ume 27 — Escape from a Closed Room Mys­tery. It appears to nev­er have been released in North Amer­i­ca. Li Ao had giv­en me some impor­tant infor­ma­tion regard­ing this hor­rid puz­zle and the only rea­son I was able to fin­ish this. Shoutout to Li Ao!

  • Where the Blue Sphere turns the rooms 180 degrees, the Black Sphere will allow 90-degree room rota­tion
  • You have to charge the con­trol pan­el 2x (As not­ed by your dad)
  • If you lose the cap­sule before you charge it 2x, then you can get anoth­er by recon­nect­ing the Pur­ple Room
  • The mon­ster’s appear­ance is ran­dom, not a par­tic­u­lar pat­tern

Per­son­al Notes:

  • Black and Pur­ple rooms when turned, all doors close, so it has to be ori­ent­ed prop­er­ly first
  • Spin the yel­low room until the sin­gle orange line leads to the door
  • Once you get the Sphere in the black room, if you try to leave, the mon­ster will end you. There’s a chance to escape, but I don’t know how. Can’t rotate rooms.
  • Spun the orange room and one path has mon­ster, went to oth­er door into Red room
  • When spun back to only open door (whence came, mon­ster killed right away, no escape)
  • So hit the but­ton on the wall twice because it was there after the first press
  • was back in Orange room. Mon­ster fol­lowed, so had to go through orange and green to get back to con­sole room. With­out even look­ing at it, it attacked, and failed

Overview

Game Summary

Four uni­ver­si­ty friends inter­act with each oth­er. It is Noa’s (you) birth­day, so Nemu invites her over to cel­e­brate. What should be a joy­ful day with friends quick­ly devolves into an ago­niz­ing death loop when Nemu demon­strates her extreme yan­dere per­son­al­i­ty over a mis­un­der­stand­ing. Noa must uncov­er the truth while fig­ur­ing out how to end her repeat­ed, painful deaths. The game is rat­ed M for vio­lence, but has no hard­core H con­tent, just a few undie shots, gen­er­ous skin, and pink­ish pur­ple blood.

Characters

CG #1

Asashi NoaGame’s pro­tag­o­nist (you) — Typ­i­cal uni­ver­si­ty stu­dent

Tsuk­ishi­ro NemuGame’s antag­o­nist (Yan­dere) - Qui­et, shy class­mate with seri­ous issues

Haya­mi Suzu­kaFriend — Mature, cool, smart class­mate

Aichi Rina­mi — Class­mate who is ref­er­ences but whose face is nev­er seen

Game Mechanics (How to Play)

Main Goal: Interact/inspect items around the house to uncov­er the main sto­ry, as well as the sto­ries behind each char­ac­ter, and resolve the death loop

  • Each inter­ac­tion with items pro­gress­es time. There seems to be a set num­ber of times of item inspec­tion before a Chase Event trig­gers.
  • Care­ful­ly choose what to inspect, what items to take, and where to stand in order to pre­pare for or avoid a Chase Event
  • When a Chase Event trig­gers, set a trap for Nemu and either hide or lure her then escape

Main Game Guide

The Jour­nal Mem­os denote loops in the game, and dou­ble as sto­ry check­points. Select­ing one will start the chap­ter over again.

While not nec­es­sary to fin­ish the main game, com­plet­ing 100% of the Side Sto­ries (as denot­ed by the red num­bers on the bot­tom right of each memo on the diary screen) is required to unlock the last CG and the best end­ing of the game. To do this, you must inspect every item until your part­ner starts talk­ing to you and giv­ing you back­sto­ry. There is a set num­ber of items to inspect before this occurs, get­ting hard­er and hard­er at the end of the game.

Prologue

Deaths: 3

You go up to Nemu’s room on your birth­day and are look­ing around. Inspect the only thing you can which is the desk and the pho­to on it which is a pho­to of you and some girl with her face scrib­bled out. Then you die. (CG acquired)

Uh. Was that a dream? Inspect the pic­ture again. Die again.

Nope. Not a dream. So what’s hap­pen­ing? You drop your lasagna when you real­ize from the pain you keep feel­ing that you’re death loop­ing. Inspect the desk one more time. You try to explain things to Nemu who twists your words and kills you. You die. Yet again. (CG Acquired)

Memo 1 — Tutorial Section

Deaths: 2

No! I’ll be killed by Nemu-chan again if I stay here!

You try to rip the diary, but it won’t rip and Nemu grows upset, so you stop, try­ing to not aggra­vate her into killing you again (pain is real and raw even if you keep res­ur­rect­ing). Unfor­tu­nate­ly, she’s still block­ing the door, so start inves­ti­gat­ing items in the room.

Inves­ti­gat­ing Tuto­r­i­al. After inves­ti­gat­ing things (I did all 6 items), Nemu moves away from the door. (This is the point you start at every time you die from now on)

Make a run for it! …Or not. You make up an excuse to leave the room to heat up the lasagna. It works. You try to act nor­mal, but it’s hard. Then you think of your phone, but it does­n’t work and Nemu tells you the house phone is con­ve­nient­ly bro­ken (tee­hee)

Puz­zle Tuto­r­i­al. You can walk around if you’d like and Nemu will creep­i­ly fol­low you (you can’t leave even if you try), but there are only 3 items to inspect. Take the notes from the mag­a­zine case and plant, then inspect them via the inven­to­ry. Solve the easy puz­zle and get a spe­cial pen for your diary.

Dial Box Solu­tion (click to expand)

Dial Box Code: 5748

Check out the Puz­zle Solu­tion Sec­tion for how to work through any puz­zles

Nemu demands that you go back to her room to show you some­thing spe­cial. You try and fail to stay in the liv­ing room, so you head up first and notice the wall­pa­per is peel­ing off, and under­neath are mul­ti­ple images of YOU. Nemu appears, enjoy­ing your shock, and explains that she want­ed you to under­stand exact­ly how much she’s obsessed with you. You get a lit­tle bit of insight into why she wants to kill you before… YOU RUN AWAY

Trap/Chase Event Tuto­r­i­al. You end up in the liv­ing room where your diary glows and red let­ters appear on the page. There are a few more items you can inspect now. If you check out the kitchen table, you are instruct­ed on how to place traps. Go get the Plas­tic Pack­ing Rope from the cab­i­net next to the TV and set it up at the table. Inspect every­thing you can, pick up the Kitchen Knife next to the sink, and make sure to inspect Nemu’s phone. After look­ing at things (about 8ish inspec­tions), Nemu will appear at your trap. If you have the knife in your hands she will pre­tend to be sor­ry and try to stab you, but you dodge and stab her instead. She ends up stab­bing you any­ways and you die again. (CG obtained)

Note: if you don’t pick up the kitchen knife and check Nemu’s phone, the sto­ry will not progress, and you will keep loop­ing until you do

Anoth­er Note: The good news is that when you’ve already read scenes, you’re allowed to skip them with the + but­ton on the Switch

Go to the liv­ing room again and this time, Akane appears! Thank GOD! While you cry from relief, Nemu is not hap­py but does­n’t act out… yet. You sug­gest Nemu pre­pare food while you try to con­vince Akane that Nemu is crazy and you’re in a death loop.

When she asks you to prove it, first go to the desk and save using the yel­low pen­cil cup (the game will prompt you). Then look at ~10 things until Nemu shows up and kills both Akane and you because she’s jeal­ous. You die.

Go down again and this time when Akane asks you to prove your­self, save if you want.

Don’t look at any­thing else except first, the BOOK on the desk and sec­ond, the PLANT in the cor­ner in that order. A cat will meow twice and con­vince Akane. She fol­lows you into the Par­ents’ Bed­room where she over­hears Nemu’s psy­chot­ic excla­ma­tions (CG obtained)

Memo 2 — Enter Akane

Deaths: 1

Chase Events: 3

Nemu for sure isn’t her­self right now. We prob­a­bly can’t get through to her so let’s make our way out of here

Chase Event Tuto­r­i­al. At this point, you’re going to try and unlock Side Sto­ries, but you’ll also trig­ger Nemu’s Chase Events when you reach a cer­tain num­ber of inspec­tions, so you’re going to want to find trap items and trap areas to use them.

Start inspect­ing items in the Bed­room. 5 inspec­tions will get you Side Sto­ry 1. Pick up the Clothes from the wardrobe, and the Bat­ter­ies from the floor cab­i­net. 15 inspec­tions in (total, so 10 after the first 5), get Side Sto­ry 2. After about 25 Inspec­tions, Nemu will yell, “Where are you?!” The music will change, and the screen will pulse like a heart­beat. You have a few inspec­tions before the music ends and Nemu comes to kill you, so set a trap and either hide or lure her towards your trap to escape. In this instance, you can either use the Cat Plushie or the Game Con­sole and set it up at the frame of Nemu’s bed. After inspect­ing a few items and the music stops she will come and try to kill you. Once she leaves and the music and screen returns to nor­mal, you’re safe until the next chase scene.

Chase Event Hints:

  • After you get the Chase Event warn­ing, you get around 2–4ish inspec­tions before she comes into the room
  • You’ll know you’re on the last turn when you hear Nemu mum­bling creep­i­ly to her­self
  • If you don’t have your sound up or can’t hear it, you’ll know you need to hide when you try to inspect some­thing and it says, “It’s not time to inves­ti­gate.”
  • If you have a friend with you, the friend will auto­mat­i­cal­ly walk to you when you need to hide ASAP.
  • The screen will get real­ly grainy when Nemu is in the room

NOTE: Do NOT go into the entry­way of the house yet, oth­er­wise it will trig­ger the next part of the sto­ry pro­gres­sion, and you won’t have all the side sto­ries yet, mean­ing you’ll have to start the check­point over again to get them. If you don’t care about 100% com­ple­tion, then head there

Side Sto­ry 3 pops up at around 30 total inspec­tions. After you fin­ish both bed­rooms upstairs, head down­stairs to look around. Make sure to set up the Plas­tic Pack­ing Rope trap at the table to pre­pare for anoth­er Chase Event which hap­pens around the 55-inspec­tion mark. Escape either upstairs or into the bath­room. Keep method­i­cal­ly inspect­ing every­thing and unlock Side Sto­ry 4 around the 65 total inspec­tions. You are able to take the Kitchen Knife and the Fruit Knife in the kitchen. In the bath­room, you can get Deter­gent B. When you hit around 85ish inspec­tions, anoth­er Chase Event starts. Head to the bath­room and use either the Cat Plushie or the Game Con­sole on the laun­dry ham­per, then hide in the tub. Inspect­ing around 100 things will final­ly net you the last, the 5th Side Sto­ry.

Now, you can head to the entry­way and get the holy heck out of–

Good grief. This girl real­ly is INSANE. Yep. Not only did you watch Akane die by gaseous poi­son right in front of you, but you die too. (CG Obtained)

Go to the liv­ing room. Con­vince Akane by look­ing at the BOOK and then the PLANT in Nemu’s Room. Go straight out to the entry­way this time. Noa will know about the trap and warn Akane.

Memo 3 — Basement Horror

Let’s find a way out, alive. It’ll be fine. We’ll def­i­nite­ly find a way.

Deaths: 1

Chase Events (100% Com­ple­tion): 3

Go back to the Liv­ing Room and save the game, if you want. After that, first inspect Nemu’s phone on the table (this will allow Suzu­ka to arrive on the next loop), then return to the entry­way and start inves­ti­gat­ing things. Side Sto­ry 1 received after 5 inves­ti­ga­tions. Con­tin­ue check­ing out all the items in the entry­way, then move to the liv­ing room. Side Sto­ry 2 received after 15 inves­ti­ga­tions. Remem­ber to pick up the Plas­tic Pack­ing Rope (“Nani Kore?!”) in prepa­ra­tion for anoth­er Chase Event… which rears its head around 25ish inspec­tions. Now go up to Nemu’s Bed­room. Akane will say, “Some­thing seems… off?” and it turns out the lap­top is in a dif­fer­ent posi­tion. You can save here if you’d like, then pick up the Cat Plushie and/or Game Con­sole as trap ammo, then check out the trash­can near the clos­et for a Sheet of Paper. Read it in your inven­to­ry. It’s time to unlock the lap­top, so inspect the lap­top for anoth­er clue, and SOLVE THAT PUZZLE! A word doc­u­ment is still open that says, “I found a great new spot! I’ll take stuff that won’t fit in here over there. I can put up even more pho­tos! Who’d expect a place like this to be in the base­ment.”

Pass­word: POWER189

Check out the Puz­zle Solu­tion sec­tion above for a work through

Before inves­ti­gat­ing the under­ground stor­age in the kitchen, con­tin­ue method­i­cal­ly inspect­ing things to unlock Side Sto­ry 3 around the 30ish mark. Oth­er things you can pick up are: Deter­gent B in the bath­room, Kitchen Knife and Fruit Knife in the kitchen, Clothes and Cos­met­ics from the Bed­room. Hon­est­ly, the only one you actu­al­ly need is the Fruit Knife which you want to make sure you have before you go down into the base­ment.

But don’t go down yet! Around the 55–60 inspec­tion mark anoth­er Chase Event occurs fol­lowed by dia­logue with Akane. This does NOT count as a side sto­ry, how­ev­er, so keep going until you get to the 120-inves­ti­ga­tion mark to final­ly get Side Sto­ry 4. Make sure to check your Memo in the Diary tab and be sure you got every­thing, and also that you inspect­ed Nemu’s phone in the liv­ing room.

When you’re ready, go ahead and inspect the under­ground stor­age in the kitchen and climb down into the base­ment. (CG obtained)

Memo 4 — Exit Akane

Deaths: 1

Chase Events: 1

…Any­way, let’s focus on get­ting out of this house for now

You’re in the base­ment now and it’s… dis­turb­ing to say the least. Pic­tures of you all over with resent­ful words writ­ten in blood over them. Akane says that Nemu is clear­ly insane. You find an old note from one of the diary’s orig­i­nal own­ers explain­ing that the diary is mag­i­cal and giv­ing it your blood forms a con­tract that acti­vates its pow­ers. These pow­ers will remain until the con­trac­tor’s wish­es are ful­filled, so make wish­es with absolute sure­ty. The diary does­n’t active­ly grant wish­es per se, it just gives the con­trac­tor the pow­er to ful­fill their desires. The note fur­ther warns that the pow­er will be a nev­er end­ing, inescapable curse until the body and soul are destroyed. So, the only way to be freed from the diary, you must give the con­trac­tor what they want. You and Akane con­strue this to mean that they have to ful­fill Nemu’s wish­es… and you don’t know exact­ly what a mad­woman wants!! You focus instead on sim­ply escap­ing the house.

Check out all the things in the base­ment, mak­ing sure to take the Noa Plushie (creepy, much?) and the Can­dle under­neath. If you did­n’t grab the Fruit Knife from the kitchen, go get it now and return to the base­ment. Over on the far wall under the can­dles, you will auto­mat­i­cal­ly use the two items to get into the draw­er and snag the Front Door Trap Key. At this point (about 10 inves­ti­ga­tions), you’ll get Side Sto­ry 1. Go back upstairs.

Note: Do NOT go to the entry­way if you want 100% com­ple­tion

Save here if you want to, then start inves­ti­gat­ing every­thing. A Chase Event will trig­ger around 25 inves­ti­ga­tions. Look at 10 more items for a total of 35 for Side Sto­ry 2. Once that’s done, now you can go to the entry­way, use the key on the trap, and watch both Akane and your­self die again while los­ing it and telling Nemu that she is NOT your frie– Wait. Did she just say a name? Is Rina­mi-chan the name of that face­less friend that saved you from crip­pling lone­li­ness? (CG Obtained!)

Memo 5 — Enter Suzuka

Chase Events: 1

There’s some­thing here that can dis­arm the trap at the entrance. Fol­low me.

Back in the room again. Go to the liv­ing room. You brood about Rina­mi and think you under­stand what Nemu wants, but you have to stop Akane from dying again… Wait. Suzu­ka-chan! What’s she doing here? Nev­er mind that, you con­vince her to come with you to Nemu’s room where she does­n’t believe you at all so must con­vince her the same way you con­vinced Akane. Save if you want, then select the Book then the Plant. Next door, Suzu­ka believes you when she hears Nemu’s death dec­la­ra­tion. You real­ize that if Nemu’s wish was for you to die, then it should have been fin­ished by now as you’d been killed so many times already (8 so far if you haven’t messed up). What the holy heck does she want then?

Com­bin­ing Items Tuto­r­i­al: From here on out, you can com­bine items you find to cre­ate traps to sur­vive. A suc­cess­ful com­bi­na­tion will be logged into the auto­mat­ic com­bo list for future ease.

Before inves­ti­gat­ing the Bed­room, go back to Nemu’s Bed­room. Suzu­ka will point out the pic­ture frame as some­thing odd. She’s talk­ing about the pic­ture on the desk. Take the Stand­ing Pho­to Frame of the pup­py, Cat Plushie, and the Game Con­sole. Check out the table with the bun­nies, too. After 10 inspec­tions, you get Side Sto­ry 1.

Go back to the Bed­room where Suzu­ka points out some­thing on the night­stand. She’s talk­ing about the night­stand against the wall which has a Sheet of Paper that tells you how to open the Dial Safe on the floor. Take the Stand­ing Pho­to Frame of the cat on the shelf. 30ish inspec­tions will bless you with a Chase Event. Go back to Nemu’s room and bait then hide. This trig­gers Side Sto­ry 2. (Unlock Memo 6)

Memo 6 — Exit Suzuka

Chase Events: 2

Let’s talk about this again… when we get out of here.

Return to the Bed­room to fin­ish inves­ti­gat­ing things, then head down­stairs. Suzu­ka will point out the sofa. If you’ve read the note and pho­to frames, then the last part of the puz­zle is the small­er sofa. Take the Paper with Man­u­fac­tur­ing Date from there. You now have enough infor­ma­tion to open the Dial Safe in the Bed­room. Before going upstairs to do that, check out the items in the area, par­tic­u­lar­ly Nemu’s phone on the table. Oth­er things you can do now that you could­n’t before is get Deter­gent A from under the sink and open all 3 draw­ers on the refrig­er­a­tor for Plas­tic Bot­tle, Ice, and Ice Pack. All items are used for traps (check out the item com­bi­na­tion sec­tion above). Around the 60th inspec­tion, a Chase Event occurs.

Once you’re ready, go on up to the Bed­room and solve the puz­zle.

Code: R7, L1, R17, L12

Check out the Puz­zle Solu­tion sec­tion for a break­down

You get the Japan­ese Room Key for your trou­ble. Head across the way and unlock the door! Woohoo! More stuff to explore. First up, move both the futons on the right and the stack of cush­ions above (that way you can be pre­pared for anoth­er Chase Event). Then obtain Med­i­cine Case B, Med­i­cine Case C, and Deter­gent C from the med­i­cine rack on the dress­er and from the right side of the clos­et. Be sure to mix them to get Birdlime, Slip­pery Trap, and/or XSBirdlime (though at this point I still had the Plas­tic Pack­ing Rope which works in Nemu’s Room or the Bed­room). 70 checks gets you Side Sto­ry 3. When that’s done, inspect the puz­zle box under the floor cush­ions and solve it.

You just got the Study Key! Head on over and unlock it. Save point! Just in time, too because 90ish inspec­tions nets you anoth­er Chase Event. Trap her in either bed­room, then head back to inves­ti­gate the study. Here, you get sev­er­al Sheets of Paper, a Book, Med­i­cine A, and two Cars to use as trap bait. We hit the 100th inspec­tion, trig­ger­ing the 4th Side Sto­ry, which means that we can now progress with the sto­ry!

Go down to the kitchen to get the Fruit Knife, then into the base­ment for the Can­dle and Noa Doll, then snag the Front Door Trap Key. Go on out and undo the trap for a cutscene where Suzu­ka betrays Noa, say­ing that if you leave, Nemu will be sad. She says that some­one needs to be by Nemu’s side and that she’s the only one who can do it. Suzu­ka shoves you into the vase and accus­es you of hid­ing Rina­mi the whole time. She runs off reveal­ing that she has the hots for Nemu. (CG Obtained)

Memo 7 — Lights Out

Chase Events: 1

(Suzu­ka has been act­ing strange since the start… But I did­n’t expect for her to do this.)

The knocked over vase has short cir­cuit­ed the whole house, cut­ting off the lights.

Imme­di­ate­ly go up to the study and inspect the book­shelf for a cutscene between Suzu­ka and Nemu where Suzu­ka unveils that she’d been stalk­ing Noa because she’d delved into Nemu’s past and knew all about Rinami’s betray­al. Suzu­ka paints a pic­ture of Noa’s evil, try­ing to get close to Nemu just to betray and hurt her like Rina­mi in High School… all because Noa is Rinami’s friend in uni­ver­si­ty. Suzu­ka ends it by pro­fess­ing her love to Nemu. You now know why Nemu is try­ing to kill you: a mis­un­der­stand­ing, and work towards this new goal. (CG Unlocked)

Impor­tant: Leave the study and go back in. The lap­top should be open now (you must have watched the book­shelf cutscene for it to open. No oth­er item is required)

You can go ahead and save in the Study now. Inves­ti­gate the stuff there, mak­ing sure you’ve snagged items that will help you set traps (i.e. the Cars, Med­i­cine A), and the 3 clues that will unlock the lap­top (Desk, Table, Book). Solve the puz­zle.

If you’re aim­ing for 100% com­ple­tion, then head to the oth­er rooms to inves­ti­gate things. A Chase Event occurs around the 30ish mark, so foil her, then con­tin­ue until you hit the 35-mark for Side Sto­ry 2.

It’s time to go into the entry­way. Inter­act with the break­er on the wall twice.

Well, well… Wel­come back, Suzu­ka. You try to rea­son with Suzu­ka explain­ing that you legit­i­mate­ly want­ed to be friends with Nemu, appeal­ing to her famil­iar­i­ty with Nemu’s shy per­son­al­i­ty. Suzu­ka has clear­ly been reject­ed by Nemu who admits that she always knew that you weren’t out to get Nemu, she was just try­ing to claim Nemu for her­self. You con­tin­ue to accept Suzu­ka as a friend and suc­cess­ful­ly con­vince Suzu­ka to work with you. (Unlocks Memo 8)

Memo 8 — Basement Confrontation

Deaths: 1

This diary has mag­ic pow­ers, so there might be some­thing in the base­ment

The diary directs you to go into the base­ment. With noth­ing else to accom­plish or get, head to the base­ment and…

Come face to face with Nemu, her­self. Suzu­ka attempts to rea­son with Nemu, explain­ing how she had set all of this in motion by try­ing to take Nemu for her­self, and that you had noth­ing to do with it. Hear­ing this Nemu stabs Suzu­ka (CG unlocked). Nemu explains how when Rina­mi first betrayed her, life lost all mean­ing and she shut down her emo­tions. She accus­es you of try­ing to do the exact same thing Rina­mi did to her in high school. You try to rea­son with no suc­cess. Nemu even­tu­al­ly claims she’s tired of being betrayed, being sus­pi­cious of “friends.” So much so that she stabs her­self in the neck (CG unlocked), then slits her own throat. She reveals her wish: to not have friends. You’re freak­ing out and real­ize that if you leave now, noth­ing will be resolved, so you pick up the knife and stab your­self.

You Die.

You know the drill: go to the liv­ing room, con­vince Suzu­ka (Book then Plant).

Memo 8 does not have any side sto­ries, so just go to the kitchen to get the Fruit Knife, then to the base­ment and get the Noa Doll and Can­dle. With those, snag the Front Door Trap Key. Sav­ing at this point is help­ful. Go ahead and dis­arm the trap! Suzu­ka knocks you over, short­ing the house again, and runs off. You wish that Akane was there because you feel that all 3 are need­ed to con­vince Nemu. All of the sud­den, the door­bell rings and in walks… Oh! Akane! Clear­ly the diary is respon­si­ble for this… (Memo 9 unlocked)

Memo 9 — Getting Close

Chase Events: 7

All right. Hon­est­ly, I can’t wrap my head around what you’re say­ing, but how can I say no when you help, Noa?

Impor­tant: Miss­able CG - To get this don’t do any­thing and just go into the base­ment with Akane. You die painful­ly (CG obtained)

Back through the motions: Book then Plant. This time, you can either grab some trap items before head­ing to the base­ment for the Front Door Trap Key and wel­com­ing Akane, or just reload your save file and start from there.

If you’re aim­ing for the 3 Side Sto­ries, start inves­ti­gat­ing every­thing like nor­mal, pick­ing up trap items along the way. There’s no rea­son to not turn on the lights at this point, so go ahead and grab the Break­er key and turn it on, if you want to. Around 28ish inves­ti­ga­tions, a Chase Event will trig­ger, along with some dia­logue with Akane — it won’t count towards the Side Sto­ries, how­ev­er. Keep check­ing things out to get Side Sto­ry 1 at the 35ish point, anoth­er Chase Event around 58–60 mark, and then Side Sto­ry 2 at 68–70 inves­ti­ga­tions.

NOTE: Do NOT go into the base­ment with Akane because you’ll trig­ger the trap­door death scene

This time around when you solve the Study Lap­top Pass­word with the same solu­tion as before, you get a dif­fer­ent clue because now it’s time to solve the Study Book­shelf Puz­zle. If you haven’t got­ten Side Sto­ry 3, how­ev­er, DON’T solve the puz­zle yet until you do. Going into the Bed­room will have Akane point out that some­thing is odd.

Memo 10 — End Game

Deaths: 1

Chase Events: 0

Yeah, Suzu­ka-chan’s my friend too. That has­n’t changed, even now.

From here, it’s time to go to the base­ment as you have deter­mined, but before you do that, check out the paint­ing on the ground for a Small Wood­en Block. It looks sus­pi­cious­ly like the puz­zle cube in the Japan­ese Room., so head on over and insert it for a small news­pa­per scrap that is too small to read and does­n’t go in your inven­to­ry. Go down to the liv­ing room and SAVE your game.

Approach the base­ment hatch and choose: “Acts with Akane and Suzu­ka.” Watch the cutscene (Obtain 3 CGs)

Welp. That did­n’t work. Let’s try again. Either load Memo 10 or, bet­ter, reload your saved game. Make sure you got the small news­pa­per piece, and this time choose “Acts sep­a­rate­ly from Akane and Suzu­ka.” (Obtain CG)

Memo 2: Side Sto­riesAkane

5 Inves­ti­ga­tions: Akane tries to under­stand why any­one would dis­like Noa because Noa is so nice. She nar­rates Noa and Akane’s first meet­ing where Noa helped Akane with her school­work despite them not know­ing each oth­er. Noa does­n’t think she’s a good per­son, though she can’t seem to remem­ber who she failed.

15 Inves­ti­ga­tions: Akane admits that she’d noticed that Nemu was obsessed with Noa, describ­ing once instance where she saw Nemu steal Noa’s belong­ings. Nemu said she did­n’t want to buy one, she want­ed the item because Noa had used it. Akane did­n’t want to ruin their friend­ship, so she did­n’t say any­thing until now. Noa makes up an excuse for Nemu, but real­izes that she does­n’t know much at all about Nemu.

30 Inves­ti­ga­tions: Akane tells Noa to fol­low her because she has mem­o­rized the lay­out of the house. Noa remarks that Akane has great mem­o­ry as a whole, but ques­tions why she’s not good at study­ing. Akane admits that when­ev­er she tries to study, she just falls asleep. Aside from school­work, her mem­o­ry is great.

65 Inves­ti­ga­tions: Akane ques­tions whether Nemu liked her at all this whole time as friends. Noa quick­ly jumps to Nemu’s defense, insin­u­at­ing that this behav­ior is just a one-off. Akane describes how when­ev­er Akane talked to Noa, that Nemu did­n’t like it, and seemed to have had some sad expe­ri­ence in the past. Akane wish­es that she’d tried to talk to Nemu more. Noa assures her that every­thing will turn out just fine and that they’ll be able to get through to Nemu.

100 Inves­ti­ga­tions: Noa begs Akane to aban­don her and escape if it comes down to it. Although Akane refus­es, Noa insists, say­ing that it’s just awful to watch a friend die in front of her. Noa then trails off like she’s expe­ri­enced it per­son­al­ly before. (Fore­shad­ow­ing and clues to the past, much?)

Memo 3: Side Sto­ries — Akane

5 Inves­ti­ga­tions: Akane first thought that Noa had ulte­ri­or motives for help­ing her with her school­work, but it turns out that Noa is just a nice per­son, so Akane had been want­i­ng to return the favor some­how, but Noa nev­er seemed to need help with any­thing. She feels hap­py despite the har­row­ing sit­u­a­tion that she can now repay Noa for her kind­ness. Akane then men­tions how Noa had been miss­ing from school for a month with­out telling any­one any­thing and Noa explained that it was a health mat­ter.

15 Inves­ti­ga­tions: Akane and Noa explore how Nemu does­n’t social­ize with oth­ers much, won­der­ing if some­thing bad hap­pened in her past. Noa men­tions that Nemu said that there had only been one oth­er per­son who’d seen her room before, so they spec­u­late that she had at least one oth­er friend either in High School or anoth­er Uni­ver­si­ty.

30 Inves­ti­ga­tions: Noa laments that she wish­es she was as socia­ble as Akane. Noa admits to being very shy and wait­ing for oth­er peo­ple to make the first move. Her only friends in uni­ver­si­ty are are Suzu­ka, Akane, and Nemu… Oh. Akane says that it’s Nemu that destroyed the friend­ship, but Noa won­ders what she did to earn Nemu’s hatred.

Post-Chase Event - 60 Inves­ti­ga­tions (Does­n’t count towards Side Sto­ries): Noa tells Akane that she felt a con­nec­tion to Nemu because Nemu’s lone­li­ness remind­ed Noa of her­self. In Noa’s case there was an unnamed friend that helped Noa from her own lone­li­ness. That’s why she drummed up enough courage to go talk to Nemu: she want­ed to be more like that friend. Noa was about to reveal the name of the friend, when they knocked some­thing over and Akane scold­ed her. At first Nemu did­n’t open her­self up to Noa, but soon, she did. How­ev­er, even Noa noticed Nemu’s pos­ses­sive­ness and felt both­ered by it. Akane states that the Nemu now is beyond just pos­ses­sive, and not nor­mal. Noa sad­ly (or begrudg­ing­ly?) agrees.

120 Inves­ti­ga­tions: Noa and Akane explore Suzu­ka, describ­ing her per­son­al­i­ty and Suzu­ka and Akane’s friend­ship. They also explore how Suzu­ka is act­ing strange­ly recent­ly and won’t divulge no mat­ter how hard Akane push­es the sub­ject.

Memo 4: Side Sto­ries — Akane

10 Inves­ti­ga­tions: Noa asks why Akane would­n’t mind risk­ing her life to help. Akane is a like­able per­son with many acquain­tances yet does­n’t con­sid­er any of them close friends like Suzu­ka or Noa who would­n’t expect any­thing in return for help. She would glad­ly help Noa.

35 Inves­ti­ga­tions: Noa explains how she can com­mis­er­ate with Nemu’s lone­li­ness hav­ing been lone­ly her­self before meet­ing the name­less friend who was effec­tive­ly her sav­ior. Akane express­es a desire to meet and befriend this per­son in the future. Noa real­izes that while she has mem­o­ries of the per­son, she can nei­ther recall their face or name.

Memo 5: Side Sto­ries — Suzu­ka

10 Inves­ti­ga­tions: Noa com­ments that Suzu­ka is great with her hands (explain­ing the abil­i­ty to com­bine items, I guess) and Suzu­ka said she’s been like that since a kid when she copied her mom. She goes on to say that she made Nemu the cat plushie she keeps on her back­pack, and she wish­es that Nemu would smile the way she smiled when Suzu­ka orig­i­nal­ly gave her the cat plushie.

Post-Chase Event (does­n’t count towards Side Sto­ries): Suzu­ka can’t believe that Nemu is try­ing to kill Noa because they were so close before. Noa express­es her feel­ing that they can go back to being friends, but Suzu­ka shuts that down and can’t restrain her­self any­more. She accus­es Noa of hurt­ing some­one she con­sid­ers a friend, clear­ly know­ing the root cause of Nemu’s rage, but refus­es to tell Noa right now. She promis­es to get Noa out of the house alive to con­tin­ue the con­ver­sa­tion.

35 Inves­ti­ga­tions: Suzu­ka tells Noa that Nemu liked Noa so much because she’s a kind per­son, and Suzu­ka agrees with that. This is why Suzu­ka can’t wrap her brain around why Noa would pur­pose­ful­ly hurt Nemu. The betray­al from a kind per­son is always the worst. Suzu­ka tells Noa that she has no trust for her at all.

70 Inves­ti­ga­tions: Suzu­ka recalls the first time Noa intro­duced Nemu. They did­n’t hit it off right away because Nemu was so anti­so­cial, then one day Nemu asked Suzu­ka for help with an injured cat. Appre­ci­at­ing Nemu as an awk­ward, yet nice per­son, Suzu­ka would engage with Nemu until they became close. Suzu­ka refus­es to hate Nemu because she can see the good in her.

100 Inves­ti­ga­tions: Suzu­ka asks Noa thinks of Nemu, but then rejects her answer, say­ing that if Nemu is such a dear friend, why does Noa not know that Nemu was hor­ri­bly bul­lied in High School. Noa defends her­self say­ing that friends don’t have to divulge every­thing, but Suzu­ka con­tin­ues to shoot her down say­ing that Suzu­ka knows more than Noa about Nemu. Suzu­ka believes that Noa is only pre­tend­ing not to know, and warns her that Suzu­ka will side with Nemu and nev­er betray her (Ooo, fore­shad­ow­ing)

Memo 7: Side Sto­ries — Noa

5 Inves­ti­ga­tions — Now that you know why Nemu is so angry, you feel bad for unin­ten­tion­al­ly hurt­ing her by being friends with the per­son who betrayed her. Though you refuse to let her kill you, you resolve to stay alive so that you can clear up the mis­un­der­stand­ing so that Nemu no longer has to suf­fer the bru­tal pain of betray­al.

35 Inves­ti­ga­tions — Noa refus­es to believe that some­one as nice as Rina­mi would have done some­thing like that to Nemu. She recalls how Rina­mi had helped her, when Noa was lone­ly and want­ed to meet with Nemu to help her smile when Noa talked about a friend that seemed sad and lone­ly. How­ev­er, when it came time to meet, Rina­mi grew pale at first glimpse of Nemu and the men­tion of her name. Rina­mi sud­den­ly rushed home that instant.

Memo 9: Side Sto­ries — Akane

Post-Chase Event: 30 Inves­ti­ga­tions — Akane starts to believe what you’re say­ing about Nemu. You fur­ther prove that your death loop is real by nam­ing the weird mon­key pop­pers Akane just got before arriv­ing. Akane admires your strength and resolve in try­ing to right things with Nemu despite it all.

35 Inves­ti­ga­tions — Akane bugs you to reveal how many times and how she died already, but you get mad because it’s super painful to bring up mem­o­ries of friends’ deaths.

70 Inves­ti­ga­tions — You recall a time when the four of you went to an amuse­ment park. Suzu­ka got sick on a roller coast­er and Nemu got a fun hat that she did­n’t take off all day. You want to have that fun again and see every­one so hap­py.

215 Inves­ti­ga­tions: Akane apol­o­gizes on behalf of Suzu­ka because the two of them are so close-knit Akane knows all of her feel­ings instinc­tu­al­ly, espe­cial­ly her pow­er­ful attrac­tion to Nemu. You quick­ly jump in and assure her that Suzu­ka is your friend regard­less of what has occurred
