Chapter 2:
You can watch my video for Chapter 2 or continue on for my step-by-step guide.
1. Plug in the TV again.
2. There’s a windmill above the dresser/closet. To solve this puzzle, pay attention to the direction of the light and the number of squares lit up. Then move that blade in that direction. Just keep going and then take the paper piece.
3. Head right. Open the symbols box to get another paper piece.
4. Turn right. Pick up the burning cigar and notice the back of the flyer says NOT THE RED VIAL this time.
5. Turn right. Open the drawers to get a screwdriver and paper piece. Ignore the fish for now.
6. Add the paper pieces to the Rusty Lake postcard.
7. The battery on the projector oozes out if you touch it. Just remember that for later.
8. The light switch is broken. But you can unscrew the lid using the screwdriver. There a puzzle inside! Solve it and then turn on the light.
9. Go find the paper piece in the light like before.
10. Add the paper piece to the postcard. It’s the last one, so look at the back. There’s another TV channel! 945.
11. Change the channel on the TV to 945. Mr. Crow says:
“Go deeper into your mind.
Look at the paining.
And burn your soul.”
12. Do what he said. Look at the painting and burn the shadow with the cigar. Then take the key.
13. Use the key to unlock the closet. Take the knife. Open the Dale Vandermeer Psychological Evaluation and take the painting label from inside.
14. Take the eyeball from the jar.
15. Stack the books on top of each other from biggest to smallest and then read the Ultimate Guide to Mental Health. Take the photo from inside.

The last set is in the numerical order of flags color. The first one being the green one.
By the way great work. Your walkthroughs are really helpful. Keep it up.
Yeah I figured it out shortly after I wrote that. 🙂
And thanks!
In the rabbit hands game, the hands in the pocket and in the shirt are pointing what hand do you have to touch
Page 6 is broken
Half the time when I get to the globe-brain the bubbles won’t move at all.
I tried doing the globe puzzle but its not working. I have taken out the brain. Should I use it or…?
Harvey won’t show when I play the song… don’t know what to do :/
Try changing to a different brain?
I’ve tried every brain, restarting the music every time.. Harvey wont show for me either! 🙁
Pull out the brain and Rewind the HarveyΓÇÖs song. Then youΓÇÖll see Harvey on the window.
Tried that. Did not help…
I had the same problem! I played the tape backwards and he came!
Playing it forward makes him leave, backward makes him come back
It wasn’t working for me either. I rewinded the tape and then pressed play again and surprisingly it worked, so maybe try that ?
I had the same issue, I had to play and then stop the tape right after for it to work. Also try rewinding it.
IΓÇÖve played the song in all three times, then with ΓÇ£no brain.ΓÇ¥ Still no Harvey.
Try rewinding the tape
they didnt mention that youΓÇÖre supposed to play it backwards
Play the tape in rewind mode
Play the song backwards
Play song in reverse!
Play the song backwards… I had a hard time with this one too. I guess forwards makes him fly off and backwards makes him return.
why tf wont harvey wont show up. Switched brains and still nothing
Empty head. Pull out the brain and Rewind the Harvey’s song. Then you’ll see Harvey on the window.
I have the egg to the hand and nothing goes happened. If I click on the red drape, iΓÇÖm zoomed back to the hand asking for something again. Is this a big or I am missing something?
Sounds like a bug to me. 🙁
How do I get the cup to make coffee
DoesnΓÇÖt he give it to you?
I had the same problem !
I planted the coffee and poured water on them and NOTHING HAPPENED. I Have used almost all the water in the jars. still nothing. Please help. I have been pre-registered and waiting for this game forever and want to play it so much!
That never happened to me. Sounds like a bug. 🙁
You could contact the developer and ask them or restart the chapter and hope it works then.
Did you try clicking the tree? It worked for me.
Out of interest the words on the walls used for the box puzzle translate from Hindi to:

I can’t work out the last one on the right!
Oh cool!
Google translates the one on the right, Γò¼ΓûÆΓö£ΓûÆΓö¼┬╝Γò¼ΓûÆΓö£├ªΓö£┬╝Γò¼ΓûÆΓö£ΓûÆ╬ô├╗├ªΓò¼ΓûÆΓö£├ªΓö£┬║Γò¼ΓûÆΓö£ΓûÆΓö£ΓûÆ, to “phantom”.
Pret means corrupted soul
When I tapped on the window the corrupted statue disappeared and I didnΓÇÖt get it. I tried with every brain and I still canΓÇÖt get it.
I keep trying to color in the door and it wonΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗t work. I have the same problem on my iPad and my iPhone….what do I do?
Sounds like a bug. You should contact the developer.
Every time I try to color in the door it wonΓÇÖt accept my coloring. Same problem on my iPad. What do I do?
Can’t set the clock to 3:00
I worked so hard without a walkthrough and then I got to the part when you have to set the TV to 207. It stays black. Nothing happens. I have tried everything. 🙁
Ever figure out what the 3 empty squares that are found on several different pictures in both games are for? It’s driving me crazy trying to figure it out lol!
I was wondering that, too. I figured itΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗s an Easter egg if you manage to put them together somehow. But no idea, sorry. 🙁
I solved the symbols box correctly, but it wonΓÇÖt open. Am I missing something? I even reset the game and did it again. Nothing.
Have you made sure the symbols are centered in the squares? It happened to me once and realized if I clicked on each symbol, they would align. That solved the issue for me.
There are two different type of triangles, one with a line and one with a dot. Make sure you’re using the right one.
The red curtain has already fallen but I didn’t get the owl statue yet, and also haven’t even found the egg. Do I have to restart it?
Same for me so cant go any further
You need an empty mind.
I can’t get the bulb on chapter 2 and I don’t know what to do, I’ve already reset once
The bird food doesnt appears!!!
My red drape where the hand appears is on the floor, so I can’t give it the egg. Did I miss a step? Thanks new player and I love your videos
Ahaaa figured it out! Had to take my brain out first
I canΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗t get the puzzle piece from the hand… I go back to the present and the red sheet is on the floor. I canΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗t give the letter to the hand in exchange for the game piece 🙁
Same I can’t even pick up the letter ╬ô├½├¡Γò₧├åΓö£ΓöÉΓö£├Ñ╬ô├½├¡Γò₧├åΓö£ΓöÉ╬ô├⌐┬║
to pickup the letter you need to burn the seal with cigar. And you go back to present by taking the brain out, not using the brain of present.
Where did you get the sugar cube?
Help I’m searching for it too
WHERE IS IT???:(((
Ok, thank you for explaining the clock puzzle. I HATE that solution, because it doesn’t follow the logic most of the Rusty Lake puzzles follow. I thought the health guide book was simply trying to show that the window shape was the clue for solving the clock. And the deer, well I guess I didn’t figure out that part of it, but it said the past is never dead so I figured it had something to do with the past mind, which was not the case. Arrows on the notebook, or maybe an “=” sign or something that made it more clear that the room layout correlates to the clock would have helped. BUT the clock isn’t like a combo lock, there are only a 12×12 combos in this game, so I ended up brute forcing my way through that one. Not proud of it, and it took a lot away from my enjoyment of the game to do that, but I was messing around and got one on accident. Tried really hard to figure it out AFTER I had the combos, and it still made no sense to me. Was the only puzzle in this game I didn’t solve properly, but I’m still glad I didn’t have to go to a walkthrough til after. The 8 antlers and 4 squares on the door kept making me think those numbers had something to do with it. Oh well…
It bugs me to use the walkthrough but sometimes I just don’t know how to move on 🙂
The brain part is ridiculously hard. I feel like I wasted my money. I really want to like this series, but who thinks of this?
Não consigo derrubar os bixos do cérebro.
I cant give the Letter to the Hand because the birdcage disappeared somehow. What can I do?
nice
Where tf did you guys get the cup in chapter 2???????? IΓÇÖm so confused like a second ago there wasnΓÇÖt a cup and then there was
