Midwich High School
Football FieldWalk forward across the Midwich football field and take a call from Cybil who suggests that Cheryl may be in the emergency shelter in the school gym. The scene shifts back to Dr. K’s office who asks some questions to figure out the type of person you were in high school and asks you to put together your “perfect school day.” After the psych test continue across the field past the field goal and hang a left past the bleachers. Follow the path to the left and open the window on the side of the building to grab the key. Head back around and use the key to open the door on the other side and enter the school maintenance room. Exit the maintenance room and head left down the hall past the cheerleader poster and “Tammy graffiti” through the double doors and exit the school. |
PATH #1 : A Faster Route – to School building BIf you aren’t interested in picking up echo photos and mementos head directly into Wonderland and into the kitchen. Exit the restaurant through the back door to quickly make it back to the school. |
PATH #2 : The Scenic Route – to School building BSince we want to get all the possible echo messages/photos and mementos we will take a more round about way to school building B. |
Wonderland Burger & The Cat House/Honey Trap/Oriental LotusOnce your step outside follow the phone static to on the poster next to the bike racks. Head out to the street and follow the road past Wonderland Burger then hang a right down the alley beside the restaurant and climb over the wall. Make a left once you leave the alley and enter The Cat House / Honey Trap/ Oriental Lotus (The name depends on your psych profile at this point) Looks like Harry has found a dingy brothel with plenty of things to ogle if you want your profile to take a more sexual slant. Move past the bar and stop by the couch on the other end to grab Echo Photo #5. |
Echo Photo #5: Red SofaTake a photo of the female crying on the couch and Harry will hear a voice message, . |
Head up the stairs past the various boarded up doors and open the heart shaped box located at the end of the hall to find Memento #7: Suffocated Forever a bug trapped in amber. Exit the building and leap across to the building next store and head down the stairs into the kitchen of Wonderland Burger. Follow the phone static to a red apron hanging on the wall to uncover .Turn around and walk through the door to the around the corner and to the left and enter the eating area of the restaurant. Follow the phone static to a table by the window and receive and then head back into the kitchen.Head towards the back exit door and open the gray fridge to pick up Memento #8: My Plastic Perfect Girl, a naked fashion doll and then exit Wonderland Burger. |
Back to School: Building BHead across the street towards Midwich School Building B parking lot and follow the phone static towards a blue car to receive and then re enter the school through the white window to the left (after removing the nails of course!).Enter the storage room and make a right to snap a picture of the belt hanging off the wall hooks to reveal Echo photo #6 |
Echo Photo #6: The Choking GameTake a picture of the ghostly boy hanging from the belt on the wall and receive a voice message, . |
Run around the cabinets and shelves and open the gray locker on the wall to find Memento #9: Heavenly Protection and then exit the room through the yellow door. On entering the school hallway Harry’s phone will start to give off static if you look to the right end of the hall you should see a shadow sitting on a bench. As you move closer the shadow will stand up, scream and run away leaving behind a photo. Walk up to the photo and receive .Head back down the hall towards the unnamed classroom on the other end. There’s nothing noteworthy to pick up but what’s cool about this classroom is that depending on you psych profile to this point you will see something different displayed on the projector (Sex ed, lecture of Mosquitoes and God (seriously) I think I also remember just seeing graffiti from students, I’m sure there’s others I haven’t seen yet!). Head through the back door of the classroom out into the school courtyard and walk towards the lunchbox sitting on the second picnic table to receive .Head into the Chemistry Lab in the next building with the “Waitress Wanted” sign out front. Stepping inside a shadow figure runs through the door in the front door of the classroom. Instead of following enter the double doors across from you to enter the Biology Lab. In the Biology Lab it seems like the students are doing some dissections for class…but hey it looks like Harry doesn’t get to miss out on that fun! On the table to the left is a dead frog sitting a scalpel stuck in its belly. Cut open the frog to find Memento #10: A Frigid Jewel and then exit the classroom front door and head up the stairs. Down the hall and to the left is the school’s Art Studio and down the hall and to the right is the Planetarium. Like Clear Picture and Theresa’s earlier in the game once you look or go into either classroom the other will be inaccessible the rest of the game. |
Enter the Art StudioThe Art Studio looks pretty much like you would expect with several in progress art projects situated around the classroom. Straight ahead is a still life charcoal drawing entitled “Calling Shadows” to the left side of the room is a red curtain partition with several easels nearby containing portraits in varying art styles of the statue they surround (they all look very similar to the PS1 Harry Mason!). Behind the red curtain is the exit from the class room but when you try the exit door it’s firmly locked shut! Now what? Take a closer look at the charcoal still life. Notice how the objects in the drawing and the one ones in the display do not match up? Beyond the display several pieces of blank white paper are taped to the wall along with three numbers "555" taped to the top left. This looks suspiciously like the start of a typical in-game phone number but where are the others numbers? Notice how Harry’s flashlight casts large shadows of the still life display onto the back wall and those blank pieces of paper? Don’t forget the drawing is called “Calling Shadows” hmm calling something means Harry needs to use his phone and we have the start of a telephone number, looks like we have our puzzle clue! To reveal the rest of the Calling Shadow’s phone number you need to arrange the objects in the display so the shadows cast will fill in the missing numbers. Luckily we have that charcoal drawing to work from so all we need to do is match the placement in the picture to see the numbers. Once all the items are in their proper place the full phone number: 555-8465 is revealed on the wall. When the number is dialed on Harry’s phone the exit door will mysteriously unlock. Now if you don’t feel like going through the trouble of solving the puzzle it’s possible to dial this number as soon as you enter the room and unlock the door. |
Enter the PlanetariumThe Planetarium is a small and dark amphitheater with posters of the major constellations lining the circumference of the room. A large sphere like object with many tiny lights sits in the center of the floor while a projection desk sits to the back. On entering the Planetarium Harry’s phone will start emitting static. Walk to the right towards the projector once you pass the exit door the screen goes white, static ceases and Harry receives . In the message a teacher lectures a class on the major constellation Ursa Minor or “Little Bear.” Depending on what your psych profile is up to this point this teacher will have a different reaction to the students laughter on seeing “Little Bear” traced on the ceiling. Since the exit door is firmly locked we only have this voice mail as a clue on how to exit the classroom.First go up to the projector and turn it on so and stars will fill the ceiling of the room. Next check the constellation posters on the wall and find Ursa “Little Bear” Minor. With that constellation shape in mind walk down to the large sphere at the center of the room and move it around until you see a cluster of stars in a similar shape on the ceiling. When you think you have the correct group of stars walk back over to the projector and turn on the trace laser switch which will not only traces Ursa Minor but reveals love declaration from a “Big Bear” to a student named Mandy asking her to give him a call:
Call “Big Bear” and the exit door with mysteriously unlock. Now if you don’t feel like going through the trouble of solving the puzzle it’s possible to dial this number as soon as you enter the room and unlock the door. |
School: Building B (continued)Head down the stairs and a shadow figure will appear from the left side of the hall look up at Harry and then disappear around the corner. On reaching the bottom Harry receives a picture message from someone by the the name of Dahlia showing off her new threads. Harry’s phone begins to give off static as well, it looks like there’s an echo message nearby. Follow the static to the Moonlight Serenade Prom poster and receive .The double doors to the gym on the other end of the hall are locked meaning we have to figure out another puzzle to get through them (Harry can’t catch a break with these doors can he?). Take a look at the security keypad beside the door to see the numbers “1053″ are scrawled on the side. These numbers won’t unlock the door unfortunately but they do correspond with the locker numbers in this hallway! Head down to locker 1053 all the way back by the prom poster and open the door to reveal photo inside of the backs of two football players “10″ and “31.” Looks like 1031 must be the door code! Before heading back to unlock the exit open locker to get Memento #11: An Eternal Rose. Head outside and across a small courtyard into the Midwich Gymnasium. Climb the stairs follow the phone static towards a heart shape balloon on the bench to get .Enter to Gymnasium and meet Michelle Valdez the only one to show up to the Midwich High School reunion in this snowstorm. She claims she knew of a Cheryl Mason a year above her is certain it’s Harry’s daughter (despite the fact Harry claims his Cheryl is only seven years old!). Michelle brings Harry to the Principal’s office hoping they can hack into the school records to prove that the Cheryl she knew and Harry’s are one in the same. |
To the Principle OfficeAfter entering the office Michelle states she needs to text her tardy boyfriend to find out where he is so it’s up to Harry to try and figure out the Principal’s computer password. The computer will reveal the password once three security questions are answered. |
Puzzle TimeLuckily for us Principal Herman Fisher isn’t too bright when it comes to picking hard to answer security questions and every answer can be deduced just by taking a stroll around the office: Question: I said goodbye to bachelorhood, freedom and happiness, where? Question: My bitch of an ex-wife’s name? Question: I wasted three years in order to major in? Question: What is Shakespeare’s greatest play? Question: My only true (four-legged) friend? Question: What is my star sign? Not that I believe in any of that stuff Question: The greatest baseball team, without question? Question: What is the name of my wayward, waste of space son? Question: The king of sports, a man’s game of squash? After answering three security questions correctly the computer password is revealed to be SUNDAY45. Unfortunately, unlike previous puzzle solutions you will have to answer three security questions correctly before the password will work. |
Cheryl Mason’s school records open, but before Harry can get a good look at them the principal’s computer freezes revealing only her full name, previous and current address and contact number. But the information displayed is enough to convince Harry it’s his daughter and he’s surprised to see that they no longer leave at the Levin Street address, how big of a knock did he take to the head? To try and get some answers Harry calls the contact number on Cheryl’s file leaving Michelle in the office to find better reception. On the other end a woman named Dahlia answers claiming Cheryl isn’t there and gets rather angry Harry tells her who he is. Before Harry can gets any further answers the world freezes over once again. |
