Reveal the Grandfather Clock in Room 212

Players can find a Grandfather Clock covered with a cloth in Room 212 of Bluecreek Apartments.

The clock is missing its hands and players will have to find all three to solve the puzzle. Players will have to explore Bluecreek Apartment to find the clock's hands starting with the hour, then the minute, and finally the seconds.

There is also a riddle on the table across the clock that dictates the position of the clock. The first, second, and third paragraphs refer to the clock's Hour, Minute, and Second Hand respectively. The riddle also becomes increasingly complex as you increase in difficulty, but the answer stays the same regardless.

Find the Hour Hand in Room 307

The hour hand is located in Room 307 on the upper floors of Bluecreek Apartments. In the room, you will find a caged radio held up by three chains. You will have to release the chains using chain valves found in the following rooms:

1. Room 305
2. Room 304
3. Room 307

① Enter Room 305 and Get the Room 306 Key

Enter Room 305 through the catwalk adjoining it and 307, and pick up the Room 306 key here. Turn the gate valve in 305 considering you are already there.

② Unlock Room 306 to Access Room 304

With the key you have acquired, unlock Room 306 via its northern door and crawl through the gap connecting it to Room 304. Turn the valve once to release the chains. Don't forget to bring the removable valve so you can use it for the one in Room 307!

③ Return to Room 307 for the Final Valve

Run back to Room 307 to finally release the final valve. Attach the gate valve to the switch in the room, turn it to cause the radio to drop, and grant players the Hour Hand.

Set the Hour Hand to 9

Run back to the Grandfather Clock in Room 212 to attach the Hour Hand on the clock face., then go to read the poem on the table.

To solve the first step of the puzzle, turn the hour hand to 9. A loud noise will play, symbolizing that you have set the hour hand correctly.

Find the Minute Hand in Room 210

To find the minute hand, players will have to go to Room 210, labelled on the map as H on Door. This room was locked initially but will unlock as you set the hour hand correctly.

Upon entering the room, head to the area with the kitchen appliances to find a breakable wall. Break the wall to access a bathroom, and search the Toilet to find a Minute Hand.

Solve the Seesaw Puzzle

After obtaining the minute hand, go back to Room 210 and solve the Seesaw Puzzle to be able to return to the Grandfather Clock. For this puzzle, you need to find the Pigeon Figurine, a Wooden Swan Head and a Malformed Figurine Part then balance them on the seesaw.

You need to solve this puzzle to reach the first floor of the apartment then run back to the Grandfather Clock in Room 212.

Turn the Minute Hand to 2

Attach the Minute Hand to the clock, and turn it to 2, matching the second paragraph of the riddle. Another loud noise will play, and this time, Room 202, labelled on the map as M on Door, will be unlocked.

Find the Second Hand in Room 202

Room 202 has a door locked behind a Combination Lock. The key here is to count the number of symbols placed on moths displayed in the room, then plug those numbers into the equation and solve it with some basic maths. The equations get more complex as you increase the difficulty.

In any case, the combination for each difficulty level is shown below:
