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 Lotus

Echo Photo #5: Red Sofa
|
Exit the building and leap across to the building next store and head down the stairs into the kitchen of Wonderland Burger. 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 B
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 Game
|
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 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. 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! 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.
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)
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! Before heading back to unlock the exit open locker to get Memento #11: An Eternal Rose. 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 Time
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. |
