Episode 2 Walkthrough. Part 1
At the beginning of the episode, Charlie will say that he wants to call Eric. Regardless of your response, he will go offline, and Ash will ask if everything is okay. Send a media file to the group, but it will take a long time to load and eventually become corrupted:
- It's a video recording of Adam's call.
- Right after he came online.
- Why are you so interested in this?
Ash will ask if it's strange that Adam called you specifically:
- It wasn't just a call.
- It was very strange.
- By the way, he went offline again.
Violet will note that the video doesn't play. You can scroll up to confirm this and then send it again. Soon Eric will come online. Choose any greeting and wait for him to move away from the cave and talk about Adam's call:
- I'll try not to say anything unnecessary now.
- The call was quite peculiar.
- The first thought — Adam is hiding somewhere.
- But it was unclear what exactly he was doing there.
- It was so dark and creepy.
- No, not a word.
- He tried to move the mobile.
- I think he wanted to show me something.
Eric will ask where Adam was at that moment:
- Yes, I saw.
- It was definitely a cave.
Eric will send a video recording that was made in the cave.
- No, that's not it.
- Adam had more space.
Your friend will share that he reached a fork and only went one way. After reaching a dead end, he turned around and got out of the cave.
- Unlikely, but nevertheless possible.
- What if there are other passages in this tunnel? — then Eric will have to check them.
- How did he end up in this cave? — wanted to check the Vega signal.
Ash will ask if maybe they misunderstood everything:
- Adam's call? — yes.
- A warning?
- In general, does he think I'm following his trail?
- No, he didn't say...
- Well, he couldn't call Eric.
- It's quite possible he tried to contact him first.
- And if we sit and chat, no one will help him.
Before Eric enters the cave again, you can stop him:
- Wait, hold on.
- Adam was afraid of something.
- What or who, I don't know.
- I thought it would be better to tell you.
This will conclude the first part of 15. Remember that between parts you need to complete mini-games to continue the story.
Part 2
As soon as you return to the chats, Eric will message you. He got out of the cave and found out that the second part of it is completely flooded. Accept the video call, where you'll see Eric meeting a stranger.
Ask the guy what happened, then move to the group chat. Tell Charlie everything — he's the only one online now:
- Oh no, Charlie, there are some.
- Someone suddenly appeared in the forest.
- His face was hidden by a mask, and he was holding a torch.
- Yes, no doubt.
- He must have been following Eric for quite a while.
- I think they are just talking to each other.
- Eric just messaged me that everything is fine.
In a moment, Eric himself will appear in the chat. Friends will start asking him about the mysterious person, but he will only send you a voice message. If you listen to it, you will receive the achievement With the last percent of battery.
- Probably when he was climbing over the fence.
- I can tell you.
- That would be another reason to go back.
- This really changes everything.
- Hmm, I'm not so sure about that.
- The best option for him would be to finally get out of the forest.
- Didn't he say he navigates forests well?
- I wasn't aware that the Dark Path is so huge.
- It would have been nice to know this in advance.
- Then I would never have supported his plan to go into the forest.
- There was too much blood for a scratch.
You can also add:
- You know what I thought?
- If this person wanted to do something to Eric, he would have done it long ago.
Question about the cave and Adam:
- The second tunnel was completely flooded.
- Adam couldn't have gone through it.
- Eric would have asked you about it if it meant something to us.
- Eric will let us know as soon as he can.
Ash will say she has an idea and immediately go offline. This will conclude the second part of the walkthrough.
Part 3
After some time, Ash will appear in the chat. She will ask you to look at something and send an image in private messages. Ask for a more detailed photo, then refute her arguments that it's a cabin.
This will make a new app "Maps" available to you. Open it and examine the area. In the central part of the image, move the camera slightly to the right and find the cabin's roof. If you can't, use the hint in the bottom right corner of the screen.
To unlock the trophy "Cartographer", you'll need to find four more places:
- A small wasteland is located in the bottom left part of the map.
- In the center of the location, there's a large lake.
- In the bottom right part of the map, you'll find rocky formations resembling a cave entrance.
- Between the cabin and the cave entrance, slightly to the right on the map, you'll find the place Ash showed you in the screenshots earlier.
Return to the girl and send a screenshot of the cabin's roof. If you found other places, you can note that you found the cave, then send the photo. Ask if Ash wants to tell the others about this — this will complete the mandatory step for the achievement Man in the Woods. The girl will respond negatively, but you need to choose "I think we should tell them" > "I can do it for you".
If you miss this dialogue, the opportunity to share the cabin's coordinates will be lost. In this case, you won't be able to get the achievement.
Returning to the group chat, choose the following options:
- Sorry for the disturbance.
- Ash and I discovered something.
- (Share the link).
- This is the cabin location.
- I hope you calm down a bit.
- Oh yes, Charlie?
- Please stay away from the Dark Path.
- I don't want to regret what I said.
The task will be considered completed. If you previously completed two other subtasks, you will receive the achievement immediately after the last message sent.
After some time, the bot Nymos will add your contact. Choose any options, soon he will start sending messages from friends in Duskwood that were not delivered earlier. Read all the text messages, after which you will receive the achievement Departure to Duskwood.
Part 4
Soon Eric will appear online. He will talk about his wound and clarify the situation with the stranger and the cabin. You will learn the old man's name and surname — Joseph Whitmore. Choose any response options, then ask to tell about the cabin:
- Tell us about the cabin — necessary to obtain the trophy
Man in the Woods. - What do you mean?
- And what's inside?
- I'm trying to imagine it.
- That's why you were able to charge your phone.
- And then what?
- Or something else unusual?
- Are you good at reading people?
- And where is he now? — necessary to obtain the trophy Man in the Woods.
At this moment, Charlie will join the discussion about the old man. You can support his theory and stick to it till the end, so Eric compares you to this character. This is necessary to obtain the achievement It's Unthinkable.
If you want to play along with Charlie:
- Hide the body?
- Or so you could get some sleep.
- I had the same assumption.
- Especially if it's about endangered animal species.
- I think the theory about the hunter isn't so bad.
- Well, for example, something like hunting trophies.
- Or animal heads on the walls.
- You deliberately didn't tell us this?
- Exactly, case closed.
- Can you walk the entire path?
- I was just about to say that.
- We're just considering all possible options.
- What do you mean?
- But definitely not on a person.
- Yes, his clothes were black — choose this option to obtain the trophy All Cats Are Gray at Night.
- Without knowing he's aiming at a person.
- I've heard about such things before.
- That's why Whitmore was walking there with a torch.
- We need to do this, Ash.
- Even if it will hurt a lot.
- And besides, Charlie?
At this moment, someone will knock on Charlie's door, so he will have to step away. All friends will go offline, and you will have to complete a few more mini-games.
Part 5
At the beginning of the next part, you will have access to the correspondence "Late Visit" between Ash and Charlie. You can unlock it for diamonds to later receive the achievement Well Informed.
Conversation with Eric:
- Huh? Are you online?
- What are you doing?
- Does your leg hurt?
- We are just worried about you.
- Is this cabin big at all?
- Yeah, this Whitmore is full of surprises.
- You actually need to see a doctor urgently.
- Did he tell you what the medication is?
- Can I take a look? — unlock the media file for the achievements Doctor and Can I take a look?. The first achievement will be available immediately, the last one will unlock if you view all 4 media files in this episode.
Next, you will have a choice: let Eric take the pills or not. We will describe later what each choice leads to.
- I suppose it's just a painkiller > Take them > You have a long journey ahead.
- Hmm… It could be anything > I think it would be better not to take them > We don't need to take such risks > Better hide them > Whitmore shouldn't find out you didn't take them.
Next:
- Listen... Why did you send me a message? — choose to unlock the achievement Tell Me....
- Well, I mean, why me specifically.
- Eric, you can tell me absolutely anything.
- Oh, really?
- And what exactly did you think about?
- Or are you not going to tell me anything?
- Unfair.
- By the way, I was thinking about you.
- I want you to know that.
- Smile.
Right after this, you will receive the achievement Tell Me....
Next, the conversation about Charlie's theory will start, where you can complete a subtask to be compared to this character:
- He thinks Whitmore shot Adam.
- Fits with what we know.
- Or maybe he just wants to see if he can finish you off? — Eric will reply that you sound like Charlie. Subtask for the achievement It's Unthinkable will be completed.
Then choose any options until the conversation turns to Whitmore:
- Where is Whitmore now, anyway? — make sure you previously completed the subtask and asked Eric where the old man is. If there's no checkmark in the description, choose this option for the achievement Man in the Woods.
- Maybe he locked you up?
- Because he has something to hide.
- If I were you, I would double-check that.
- But quietly.
Eric will send a video recording where the old man stands at the door with a gun. Unlock this video for the achievement Can I take a look?.
How to get the Sleepless Night achievement:
- (Unlock the special path).
- ... In the shadow of the trees.
- That's what Adam said.
- That's exactly what he said!
- He saw something.
- Someone was there.
- Anyway, it really scared him.
- I remember he seemed to be in shock.
- No, he was sure of it.
- Obviously, it's because you haven't slept well.
- Come on, make an effort.
Part 6
After some time, Eric will message you and say he heard some sound. If you ask him to describe it, the guy won't be able to. First, he will say it sounded like a knock on the window, and then he will call you via video. Regardless of your responses, Eric will soon go offline, and the sixth part will be completed.
Part 7
Eric will go to inspect all the rooms, and when he returns, he will say he found nothing. At this moment, someone will knock on his door, and an anonymous person will burst into your private messages. In the dialogue with him, it will turn out that it's the same person. He mistook you for Eric and thinks you are in the house with the old man.
- I should have guessed.
- Haven't heard from you in a while.
- How did you find me?
- That's my concern.
- Yes, and he actually helped me.
- I don't understand what you're talking about.
- That's none of my business.
- Why would I do that?
- To run into someone like you?
- I don't believe you.
- Oh no, not a chance.
- No way.
- But that's complete nonsense.
- How do I know I can trust you?
After the dialogue, Eric will write that no one was on the veranda. If someone knocked on the door, they immediately hid in the forest.
- Yes, and I know why.
- Listen carefully, we don't have much time.
- It's about your mysterious guest.
- He suddenly sent me a message.
- And no, I don't know his name or who he is.
- He thinks it's me in that house.
- He wants to lure you out of the forest.
- He set off the alarm, Eric.
- Yes... Basically, that's all the most important.
- Are you crazy?
- What do you mean?
Eric will call you, and you will see old man Whitmore returning to the cabin and kicking the guy out. Before that, the friend will tell you that he found a black envelope with a map in the old man's fireplace, almost the same as the one you found in Adam's car.
Part 8
Eric has no choice but to follow from the cabin towards the fence on the Dark Path. Along the way, you can chat with him, but the dialogue options won't affect anything. The only thing, if you haven't previously inquired about Eric's wound for the achievement, now you'll have another chance. Choose "How's your leg?".
Soon Charlie will appear in the group chat. Move there and tell them about what happened with Eric. Charlie will suggest coming to the fence to pick up the friend — support this idea. Continue the conversation until Ash messages you. In conclusion, you can ask Charlie to turn up the volume on the phone, and he will be grateful for it.
Go to private messages with Ash and wait for her to send a link to the diner where the friends are supposed to gather. Open the menu and scroll down to leave a review (choose any). For this, you will receive the achievement Deserved and Honest.
When the friend goes offline, open the chat with the Nymos bot and read the previously undelivered messages. After doing this, the storyline part will end.
Part 9
Open the group chat and choose any options. Friends will come and go, after which Eric will ask to talk to you about the previous night:
- Have you ever heard a fire alarm?
- It was intense.
- He told Eric not to leave the house under any circumstances.
- Yes, we found out.
- Absolutely intentional.
- I'm not quite sure how to feel about him.
- He confused me with Eric from the start.
- He thought I was in the cabin, not Eric.
- Yes, that's right. Because a stranger warned me.
- And I haven't had a chance to calmly explain all this to you yet.
- Correct.
- Unknown number?
Eric will say that an unknown caller is calling him, but since it might be related to Adam, he should answer the call. Ash will start asking you about the stranger who warned Eric earlier in the forest and messaged you:
- Yes, let me think…
- No, it won't work. He hid the number.
- I would have given you his number right away.
- He knew my name.
- That seemed very strange to me.
- He tracked Eric to the cabin by the blood trail.
- That seemed quite strange to me.
If you chose the above answer options, you will unlock the achievement Dubious Offer. The following options won't affect the trophy acquisition. You can choose any responses.
After some time, Eric will return to the chat and say he needs to go to the police station. There's no point in dissuading the guy, as he will go there anyway. He will also send a photo of the very map found in the cabin's fireplace.
When the conversation turns to whether anyone else should be told about what happened, support Eric and say it would be unwise to involve others in this matter.
Part 10
In this part, you just need to read the previously undelivered messages in the chat with Nymos, after which you can unlock the secret correspondence between Violet and Charlie (optional, for achieving the achievement). After doing this, return to the mini-games.
Part 11
Charlie will appear in the group chat again and ask what exactly Adam told you:
- Yes, Charlie?
- Hey, when was that?
- He said he couldn't get to Greenside.
- Yes, I would like to know that too.
- So far, everything is clear.
At this moment, the guy will send you the last photo in this chapter. If you unlock it, along with the three previous media files, you will receive the achievement Can I Take a Look?.
Next:
- What is the Greenside Motel?
- Do you have any ideas?
- Could he be keeping something there?
- Not necessarily.
- And Eric was following a completely false trail last night?
- I was just about to make that argument.
- But when Adam called me yesterday, he was definitely in the forest.
- But that doesn't seem very logical…
- Yeah? Quite ridiculous.
- Can we wait until Eric returns from Bucket?
- You don't want Eric to leave.
The friends will create a new group where you'll be only with Charlie and Ash. Choose any options in the dialogue until this part of the walkthrough is completed.
Part 12
Soon Charlie will be at the motel and will try to open room 31 with Adam's key, but it doesn't fit:
- That can't be.
- The keychain must be wrong.
- Look through the keyhole — you'll see the curtains are parted, but it's dark inside.
- Maybe you can ask someone for help?
- He doesn't necessarily need to know this.
- Especially today on your birthday.
- And you're advertising the Greenside Motel at every step.
- Oh yes, good idea!
- I'd believe you.
- Charlie, you can do it.
- This will be a grand failure.
Charlie will head to the motel office, but the door will be locked. Additionally, the guy will see an empty parking lot for employees, and there will be no people on the motel grounds. You should volunteer to check the motel's working hours in the "Maps" app. Here you can also track the phone number and dial it to get the achievement Open without weekends and lunch breaks. Wait for the third ring and listen to the voicemail message.
Return to the chat with friends:
- According to the data online, they are open.
- I want to know why a motel that's supposedly open suddenly closes.
- Such records online often go unnoticed.
- Please tell us what you see now.
Next:
- You know what I think?
- That no one has come there to work for a long time.
- Well, you have to start somewhere.
- Just write to us if you find something interesting.
Next:
- And what are they saying there?
- You're right about that.
- Really? Sounds very interesting.
- And yet we would love to hear all these stories about Greenside.
- You're joking, right?
- None of this is good.
- Now it's clear why they closed.
- Definitely.
Charlie will go to inspect the building around, and we'll have to solve several mini-games in a separate menu section again.
Part 13
When you finish the mini-games, access to Nymos will open. Watch the video from friends in Duskwood.
Return to the chat with friends and listen to Charlie's plan. He will ask you to post a story to find out if any locals know about the incident at the Greenside Motel. On the main screen, the option to post a photo will appear. Choose the photo of the door with police tape and add one of the two descriptions. On the first playthrough, you will receive the achievement Stories from Redlog.
How about both options?, you need to post both story options. This can only be done on a replay of the episode.
From this moment, users will start leaving comments under your post. If you like even one of them, you will receive the trophy I Like It.
We also recommend not choosing mild responses: blow up your story as much as possible. When a guy appears saying that only people from Redlog are in this chat and they don't stay overnight in Greenside, choose "Then we need other hashtags" > "#RedlogTraveler" or "#MotelMurder".
Then another user will remind you about a guy whose uncle was supposed to stay at this motel. Choose "I think his nickname was WASp". He will respond and ask you to wait while he makes a call to his relative.
Return to the chat and discuss further actions with your friends. Soon, you will have the opportunity to read a secret chat between Charlie and his colleague. Unlock access to obtain the achievement Room 04.
After this conversation, Charlie will decide to go to work, and Ash will come up with a new plan. You will have to complete several mini-games to continue the story.
Part 14
In this part of the walkthrough, you can earn an additional achievement Heard it before?. To do this, return to the story post and wait for a comment to appear about something being found in Greenside during repair work. Choose the response "Correct. Namely a secret room". Then reply with "The famous killer's murder weapon". The achievement will become available immediately after sending the message.
A little later, a stranger will message you privately. Agree to listen to her story until the end, after which this part will conclude. Return to playing the mini-games.
Part 15
Check the comments and provide available responses. When Ash appears, listen to her and accept the video call that concludes the episode.
