DIALOGUE WITH THE GIRLS
This guide will not cover any of the dialogue options or how they impact
the endings.
I will be providing a more in depth guide to cover those.
AVOIDING JANITORS
Janitors constantly roam the hallways.
Running attracts their attention.
Normal walking and crouching does not.
In a dark room, they'll see if you standing, but not if you are crouched
behind something, even if the object is not very tall.
If they see you, they'll chase you until they lose you.
My strategy is to keep every door open, so I can close it on a janitor if
needed.
The easiest way to lose a janitor is to go into an unlit classroom and duck
behind a desk.
Keep kiting the janitor to keep it between him and you, eventually he'll
leave.
HEALTH AND STAMINA
As you take damage your vision becomes bloodied.
You do not regenerate health automatically.
Use Soy Milk, Instant Lunchbox, and Emergency Kits to heal.
As you run, you lose stamina.
Your stamina bar is invisible, but as it drains, the controller rumbles and
your breath gets heavy.
Run too much and you'll get dizzy for a few seconds.
Use Tranquilizers to calm you down.
Coffee heals you at a cost to your stamina.
TIMED EVENTS
Occasionally you'll come to scenarios where you have a few minutes to
perform a certain task.
This guide will take you from point A to point B directly without having to
explore, doing exactly what's needed to succeed.
QUICK TIME EVENTS
There are occasionally quick time events.
These give plenty of time, and up to two inputs long.
I try to note where these are, but may have missed some.
SAVING
Save points throughout the game are bulletin boards, and saving costs an
item called Felt Tip Pen.
They are abundant, and the game is not terribly long. Save as often as you
need.
The game also has 'checkpoints', where you will restart from if you die, so
all progress is not lost.
I do not note where they are throughout the game.
NAVIGATION
If a room is far away, I'll use the map's name for the room and the floor.
Other times, if it made sense, I use cardinal directions.

NOTE: This room is very large with multiple floors.
- The janitor can see you from different floors.
- He will run to where he last saw you.
- He will turn off lights and shut doors of classrooms if unalerted.
I suggest keeping him busy buy turning on lights and keeping doors open.
If you need to hide, run into a classroom, shut the door,

Turn on the light, examine the stereo.
Place the speakers in the positions indicated in the mirror three times.

Rooftop Key in front of the stairs on 1F.
----
-- Clock Puzzle --
The following rooms have clocks in them:
- Computer Lab
- Art Studio
- Earth Sciences Lab
- Cult Club
Next to the clocks is a picture of one of these locations:
- Bejing
- Moscow
- Washington, DC
- Greenwich
The note in the Earth Science Lab below the clock lets you know
- Greenwich is +0 hours
- Bejing is +8 hours
- DC is -3 hours
- Moscow is +3 hours
Find the room with Greenwich and note the time.
Set the clocks in the other three rooms to the appropriate time.
For example:
If Greenwich is a 6:00 set...
- Beging to 2:00 (8 hours ahead of 6),
- DC to 3:00
- Moscow to 9:00.
When finished, go to the Occult Club to collect two items:
- L-Rods which will be used shortly
- Spirit Bell which lets you backtrack to Main Building 2!
----
Head to the rooftop pool.
NOTE: Do not lure the janitor here. You will not be able to avoid him.
-- CROSSING THE ROOFTOP POOL PUZZLE --
You'll pull out the L-rods automatically.
They have two states:
- When they are pointing straight ahead, it is safe to walk.
- When they are crossed, do not move forward or you will fall in.
From the edge of the pool, strafe left/right until you find the entrance.
Keep walking forward until the sticks cross, then turn 90 degrees.
- If they point forward, keep walking.
- If they are still crossed, quick turn.
Paths never go diagonally.
Following these instructions, the pool maze is made simple.
----
Once across, drain the pool with the valves to the right of the door.
Enter the pool and pick up the Water Token.
Head to the 2F of the large room and insert the Water Token.
