ep3 Very start. Getting past principle. Silly problem!

[Mr. Eaten]

I can't do it. I looked for walkthroughs but there are only things on how to get all photos... sort of strange not to be able to find a real actual walkthrough.

Can anyone help me get past the principle, sitting on the steps? I looked in the shed and noticed one of the lights outside doesn't work. Even basic advice would be helpful, I've gotten this far in the series so I don't get why this is so hard when I can't go back inside the dorms... Making my options easier to narrow down.

Please help!

Reverse time, he'll be at the door trying to get it open, and you can just sneak past him.

[76561198052426179]

Right. You have to rewind and then sneak while he tries to open the door, so he can't notice you.

[Mr. Eaten]

Nevermind that was the dumbest solution! [Figured it out before replies... but thank you for help!]

Devs please make cooler problems with more directional solutions or what have you... the diner and the shooting practice parts are perfect examples...

so that's a no to add trying to photograph glow in the dark action figures then?

Thaaat was a tough one! I almost freaked, too.
Max
1. - stays in place when reversing time (principal's locked office), and
2. - keeps all the stuff she picked up (RV keys).
These are just two absolutely inconsistent elements that i just don't get used to.

It more or less means Max's time travel will appear to be teleportation to an outside observer.

I think the items mechanic is for simplicity and sanity as well as similar to the other parts of time reversal.

And the reversing time while in "that room" is just going along with how it works already. Just never had a chance to do it that way. I think that was awesome. It really keeps the reverse time mechanic fresh.

And the powers developing from a mechanical point I REALLY enjoy. It doesn't get stale. [photo the best example right now.]

[Saltstorm Jake]

Yeah, I like the mechanics, too. I'm just saying that to an outside observer, it would look like teleportation.

It's one of the reasons I've in my play throughs so far I've picked to petition against the security cameras. It's my thought that the worry of those cameras isn't that they'll catch you breaking into some office or something, but suddenly being in an office and opening the door from the inside. After we get the last two chapters I might go see if my worry is actually valid but for now that's one choice I'm being fairly consistant on.

But you wouldn't even need cameras for this to be recognized by other people. Whenever rewinding time back to a point from whereon she has changed her position in the meantime, any eyewitness would notice her younger self disappear from her old position in the time she travels back to. And at the same moment she might be watched while popping up at the new spot which she had moved to before rewinding.
She even might materialize WITHIN another being/object, sharing the same space, that was located at that very spot before she moved back!
Maybe that's what happened to Rachel!?

when max rewinds time she also creates an alternate reality i.e When she rewinds time to get past the principal she creates another reality where she doesn't
