How to start the actor's story normally?(solved)

[BlueStinger]

I have played the game through and did the Painter (I assume it's the Masterpiece book?), the Daughter (Inheritance book) and the Musician's (Final note book) stories but I cannot find how or where to start the actor's story. I can find no option for it anywhere in the lighthouse, unless it's in that blue door that's still locked?

For now I'm playing it from the chapter select but surely there's a correct way?

In the natural game progression you play the actor after the painter is done.
You can instead pick a chapter on the main menu.

I have managed to start the Actor's story now. Seems I needed to interact with the phone which allowed me to sit down at the typewriter to continue.

Oh! Sorry, I completely misread the point of the question! It's what happens when you try reading before morning coffee. Have fun!

Does the Daughter's story and the musician's story occur through natural progression? I played it naturally and it funneled me into the actor's story. Did I make a mistake?

so I know this was posted a while ago but I was wondering the same thing. For me the actor's story sort of ended abruptly..I thought I was to go back for one more chapter but guess now..anyway..that said I guess since there are a couple of ways to go with the stories and also achieves not all done I can play again at some point ( no idea how people remember not to do the same things so they end up being able to get the other endings, achieves etc, lol) but I was surprised once back in the lighthouse and back in the writer's story it was like her's came to an end and then my menu only had start new story, not continue so does that mean we just go to start the musician and daughters , via the menu ? Also should we play the directors after everything?

Ok so I’m playing and I got to the machine room where all the food appears and disappears. When I get the option to interact with the Apple in the air and the door swings open to throw food at me…I can’t progress. There’s an invisible wall in front of the door (which is supposed to be locked clicked on) and when I go to the other door, it’s locked. I can’t move from the room and continue the story. When I restarted a chapter in the Painter’s story (I had the elevator door glitch) it didn’t save it to my current game state and I had to restart the game. I’m so far now I don’t want to restart 😭 any suggestions?

Hello, I'll try to assist you. First of all, the floating apple moment - the golden path is to turn back just after you interact with the apple. So the door that was closed will be open after the interaction with an apple. We are aware of problems players have at this specific moment, but we couldn't reproduce it on out side. If you could provide a video recording of what's going on there, maybe we could figure it out together. On our side the doors are simply open after the interaction and we can progress.

The second thing is game saving problems - I think this could be related to the save system the game incorporates and confusion that some players may experience. We have two separate progress threads, so to speak, one is the story mode that is loaded when we hit "continue story" or overwritten after choosing "new story" on the initial screen. The second is chapter mode that is loaded when we hit the chapter thumbnail in the chapter select screen, on "continue" tab, or overwritten when choosing any other chapter. So these are two separate game progresses. If you have any other follow up questions, feel free to ask.

All the best!
