First Day
The first puzzle you run into is figuring out who the killer did and didn't kill.
Tip 1: He killed all but one of them.
Tip 2: The trait of all the ones murdered involves blood.
Tip 3: The Person who got killed without blood spills anywhere wasn't killed by him.

During when you're sleeping and run into the killer you may be surprised and end up dying from not knowing any good hiding spots. The only hiding spot is behind the soda machine back at the entrance.

The Puzzle at home is asking for numbers. Look for anything with numbers and counting. It's to easy to spoil.

The after day check on your memory I'm not giving tips on if your not paying attention : P.
Third Day
(Second day didn't have any puzzles just a fetch quest for a wrench and talking to the people there. and the Night Dream vision leads to Third Day introduction about Rose.)
The First Puzzle is the easiest with just finding a note about the password for the safe. Just investigate the pots for the code numbers. There's also some hidden comic pieces but I'm just making a basic guide for the puzzles the clue finding is on you : P. Towards the dead end where you got the dream key you'll find the Garden tool. You use it on the pulled out section of dirt in that room for a medallion. This is used back in the room where you found the safe.
With those 2 puzzles done you are ready for the odd spice shelf puzzle after using the paper under the chair with the odd blacked out paper. You can also combine it to make it easier.
After pulling the drawers in the order your done there for now.

The Day recap today is easy but from sad reasons...

The next puzzle magazine is in your room and pretty easy if you got both side by side. Sine it's optional I won't spoil it. It's rules of how it works aren't explained well but I'll give you 1 Tip..... The first letter us O .
The item you get in your closet should make it easier to find items you need for the story so I don't need to explain their exact spots but room locations at least : p.
Day Four
First place you head is too the main guys office. Convince him to look for Janet's kid to search around get the phone number last from the office so you can search more.
To get Bram out of his room use the phone number you found with the phone on the first floor.

In his apartment look out for 3 statues for a puzzle, coiled wire (Bathroom) and a paper with shapes for the other puzzle.

The coil puzzle just requires getting the poles around the shapes for them lit up.

BE CAREFUL. As soon as you enter Bram's brothers room you are forced into a puzzle to help him.
Follow the instructions of the paper you find there and you should be fine. Don't worry about getting the unlabeled chemicals mixed up too much it doesn't let you give him the wrong one.
Check the closet for the CO2 part you need afterward.
When your done is when you need to be even more careful because that's when Bram gets home and he will kill ya. To evade him go into the room where you placed the statues and hide under the desk. Then you're free to go! (Tip don't reenter his apartment or you'll get stuck....)

The optional puzzle is on the table by the couch. Idk how to solve it so far all ik is the suit means multiple of 10s from 0, 10, 20, 30. But I don't know fully what the win condition is or how they need to be put. I guessed adding up together to the top but I got it wrong the way I did it or my assumption to do that.
Day Five
Puzzles in Janet's room are the Face swap, door handle, cube blocks, and diary.

Door handle needs the extra white handle and the code is on the wall behind you.
The face swap is gives the code for the cube blocks, it's easy so it doesn't need much of an explanation.
The cube blocks go in the order of the paper. Press the red button to get all the blocks to put the colors in the right order and right animal.
The diary is the name of the kid from the paper you find nearby. The only hint I'll give you is that his name starts with A.

Matches in kitchen and candles on the shelf by desk.

In the dream you gotta get the tool from the demon mask guy to use on boards by the window.
Day Six
You need to find the box cutter for the kitchen closest that doesn't have anything in it when you check it, also it can crash you from text glitches if your not careful or that's just me.

There's also paper scraps around the place to find.

In one bedroom is the order of colors for a light in the bedroom with the locked door. Turn the light switches on top of each light in that order to open the closet door. It'll give you a circular piece for a painting in the dining room. It gives you a list of stuff to grab from the kitchen. You can combine all 3 pieces of the paper and put it together when you inspect it rn.

Pressing the needed items in order will reveal the lab. You use the paper to know where to put everything. You'll need the 3 glasses, 2 connectors, and 3 vials all together and set for it. Finally use the matches. You'll end up with Hubert's Serem. You'll need to chat with the wife then head to the basement to find a fourth floor key in the basement.
Day Seven
You finally get to the fourth floor but have to dodge the killer. If you struggle to find the spot loop around back into the room he comes from to break him. The piano is where you need to hide but don't break his walk cycle when you go to the spot or you'll be stuck.
You go into a dream sequence after this but I assume it's not the next day yet.

You'll find master keys in the room he came from.

I went to Edmund's office first with them

The code for the case in his closet is given through hints on the nearby magazine.
I deducted from that magazine the 2nd spot was a square.... then trial and error-ed the rest...
I think it was x, square, diamond, square when I rushed through it.

If you haven't realized who the cou- [spoilers] laughing man is think about it. "Colm's" Assassin, Wearing a surgical mask like he's sick, has a track suit like someone who relaxes at home? Head to his room and you'll find the bolt cutters. [/spoiler]

You can use this time to find anything you missed anywhere then get to the basement once your done. I only had 3 missing papers I gathered at this time hopefully you don't have too many also. I missed the 5th book out of 9 and that's all I missed so far out of everything. I'm choosing to not find it so far..... Nevermind it's in the laundry room in the basement in the far right corner. That was the last thing I needed to find so may as well tell ya where it is. I accidentally collected everything very easily.

P.s. Idk why you use bolt cutters when you got master keys in the basement....

At home the last puzzle is in your kitchen. It's easy just follow the order. The spots you fill in are for the movements to get to 1-4. The puzzle I missed is in the bathroom on the toilet. It's answer is using the letters in blue. They are h, c, k, o, e. Scramble them to the only option choke. The puzzle with the cards is the only one I haven't solved so far. I missed one cassette, didn't fix the spill, and forgot to translate Rose's paper. Also didn't find some wind up knight toy??

I only got 4 Achievements. Finishing the game, doing at least one puzzle, got the statue at the end of the game, and found the mirror message.

Hope you enjoyed the guide, it's not the best it's just out there to help since there isn't any guide so far.

The wind-up knight toy is in Aaron's toy chest with all the rest of the toys... its clickable area is just really small so it's hard to find.
