My
patient number gave me the path I took through the twelve rooms of the house,
which were laid out in the same configuration as the telephone buttons on the
painting in the Studio. Thus, the North most rooms from West to East were the
Kitchen, The Studio, and the Playroom; represented by the telephone buttons 1,
2, and 3. Just South of these rooms were the Dining Hall, the Corridor, and the
Bedroom represented by buttons 4, 5, and 6 respectively. The Living Room (my
entry point), the Study, and the Washroom corresponded to 7, 8, and 9. And at
the Southernmost area of the house was the Cellar, the Library, and the
Conservatory, represented by the *, 0, and # buttons.
Taking
this into account, my patient number of 78-963-2580*7412 gave me a path of
Living Room, Study, Washroom, Bedroom, Playroom, Studio, Corridor, Study,
Library, Cellar, Living Room, Dining Hall, Kitchen, and Studio where I made my
escape.
I
began in the Living Room with no knowledge of how to solve the keypad, and I
moved East into the Study, where I also had no means of solving the fireplace
puzzle. Further East into the Washroom gave me the first puzzle I could figure
out, although it was a waste of my time. The solution was: “Psychologically
horror-stricken procrastination counterbalances accomplishments.
Congratulations.” How considerate.
Turning
North into the Bedroom, I solved the Sudoku, where I retrieved the clue
necessary for the fireplace in the Study, “Sweet Home”. Continuing North I
solved the Playroom’s maze, releasing Bobby Barrows on my tail. I ran West to
the Studio, and subsequently the exit, but I had not a rune with which to
unlock the door, so I solved the puzzle on the mirror and ran South.
In
the Corridor, I solved the jumble, which had the solution of “I GOT A ROCK” and
was successful in destroying Bobby Barrows’s blades. South to the Study again,
I entered “Sweet Home” into the first line of the grid and solved the puzzle
which ended in the name “Slender”. From that moment on, the Slender Man began
pursuing me through the house.
South
into the Library, and I solved the puzzle on the shelves and entered the Cellar
to the West. By successfully placing the planks, and recording the numbers on
the kegs in the order I traversed them, I received the code for the Living Room:
4-6-3-2-2-3-4-6-3-3. Still not having a rune on my person, Pious Augustus left
me alone.
I
scurried North into the Living Room again, where this time I entered the code
to reach the North passage into the Dining Hall. Solving the puzzle of the cake
gave me the very rune that Pious was searching for; one that would allow me to
escape from the house. Heading North into the Kitchen, I confronted Daniella,
who gave me the head start I needed when I answered her rebus depicting
“Phantasmagoria”. She followed me East into the Studio where she became
distracted by her reflection in the mirror and I used the Rune to unlock the
door leading out.
I
never set foot in the Conservatory.
Thank you for joining me on this strange journey.
