While suggested to play this game before the film, the film contains a lot of clues that will help with the achievements here. You may want to play the game 1st then watch the movie for our clean up.
It's also recommended to play this after rusty lake roots as it contains a code
We will also have to replay the game for our movie achievements and a second ending

Some of the puzzle didn't make sense to me, especially the time I need to input in the clock (I just brute forced it until it randomly give me an item). This guide was very helpful. I finished the game TY ^^

-For "Cut the sofa for a string"

Before movie in Chapter 1 Small Room 2, after finishing the Globe puzzle it states:
"Pick up the glass and newspaper article
Get water from book case
Cut the sofa for a string
Examine the bottles in globe
Use your matches for a hook
Twig to release butterfly"

You actually need to use the twig on the middle bottle and click until the cocoon turns to butterfly and leaves BEFORE cutting the sofa for a string.

This took me quite a while to figure out and thought my game was bugged for a bit but found a French YouTube walkthrough video that showed me the order of the steps for the acquiring the string.

Leaving this here in case anyone else encounters the same issue. :)

Stuck in chapter 2!
I follow the guide up to the projector. I fix the film and turn everything on, but it doesn't show on the screen. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Rose_Po Mar 3, 2023 @ 2:53am 
i cant seem to get the globe part. any tips?
nandrew Feb 11, 2023 @ 4:53pm 
Moving Lara's face section - You actually have to move her face in the direction she is staring. She won't say anything if you do it right, but if she says "Other Way" or " You are wrong" you've messed up. She's being honest when she says "other way".

Oh very nice Ill have to check that out my self one day. I've added that info above incase anyone wants some more surprises
Reki_oeo Dec 9, 2022 @ 2:54pm 
Thank you so much! Btw, when you use the 315 code from the movie in chapter one, you get a video of someone holding a postcard that says "Greetings from Rusty Lake" :)
