Ohh, a Locked Room game huh? I’ve made one of these before.

This seems a lot easier than the other games.

Okaay, first we need to plan, and get items-

SFX: bang bang

SFX: rattle rattle

H-Hey!!

This is a game. If we don’t work on the solution we’re not getting out.

[Small text] You can’t force it open.

Seems like it.

[Small text] The results confirm this.

Don’t tell me you’ve never played one of these, Amamiya.

Ok. Let me explain it as I come up with a strategy.

This is my strategy for the Locked Room. // First we investigate all of the room’s contents. The entire room…

Then we collect items!

For now it’s best to keep the clues for the code for getting out in your head.

SFX: clunk

SFX: clunk clunk

Mikami-kun

I opened something.

Eh?!

H-How did you do that?!

Coincidence.

It couldn’t have been a coincidence!!

This kind of thing is an important clue we can use to get out of the room…

Huh…?

SFX: peel

This is!!

This is the code for opening the picture frame!!

What’s with this dejected feeling… She solved it but how it was done was completely wrong. There’s no sense of achievement…!!

It looks like a plus screwdriver.

SFX: roll

SFX: clatter

Ahh!

Ahh!

Ahhhh!!

You’re wrong Amamiya, it should have been “this is a plus screwdriver, but all the screws in the room are negatives! How the hell do you open it?!” // Is how we should have solved this puzzle!

NO!! // We shouldn’t know the answer before solving it!!

I’m going to show you how it should be done, so you just sit there!

SFX: small quiet

Don’t touch anything!!

SFX: clatter

SFX: whoosh

SFX: jolt

Hmm… I can’t reach that.

But it looks like someone’s left a key up on that shelf.

SFX: toss

Whaaaaaat?! I didn’t see that before!! I completely missed it!!

To think this was on top of the bed… Why didn’t I see it before?!


Page 5

Haha… That’s so weird. It’s really weird. I guess my perception is getting a little rusty. // Well, it looks like we can get out with this. We don’t need to worry about the details…

SFX: click

What, there’s more?!

SFX: open

A password?

It needs a numbered code… But I didn’t see a hint for this anywhere…?

Perhaps this “Open The Door” is a hint?

SFX: whip

When you tried to open the door at the start the door knob came off…

And the code was written inside the whole time!!

Mikami-kun

SFX: squeak

Aren’t Locked Room games fun?

That’s not how it’s done Amamiya!
