Great guide, just had some hard time like @Iylat mentioned....:steamhappy:
I was misled and due to I don't save the game initially....I have to re-play to get achievement "So Boring!", which this only can be done before "wake up Lloyd with Tobasco sauce"

@Perhya - Make sure you get the correct tile. The bottom row, 3rd from the right should cause the portal to fall and progress the story.
Perhya 14 Oct, 2023 @ 4:29pm 
I'm stuck in the kitchen after cutting the tile out - it won't let me leave

Thanks. \o

I chose a different option for the job interview based on the results of using the LOOK option on the library book in my inventory. Perhaps the correct response in the interview differs for each playthrough???

Kicking myself , that the first time I used the guide was after stealing Danielle's bag, only to realize that endgame was right around the corner :steamsad:, anyways great guide!

thank you! <3

Thanks for the great guide!
Btw, I had a hard time understanding what to do here:

• Once she has given you the phone, use it to Danielle Johnson.

I was looking at my inventory thinking that the phone would be there, but all I had to do was interact with the phone hanging on door, next to Staff Room.
