Silver Pines Walkthrough: All Puzzles, Codes, and Key Items

Silver Pines is an adventure horror game with Metroidvania elements in which private investigator Red Walker travels to a small American town in search of missing musician Eddie Velvet. The investigation quickly takes an unexpected turn as Red explores abandoned buildings, encounters terrifying creatures, and uncovers the town's dark secrets. In this guide, we've prepared a detailed Silver Pines walkthrough covering where to go next, how to solve the main puzzles, where to find key items, and how to deal with dangerous enemies.

The game begins at the Miner Diner on the outskirts of Silver Pines. Private investigator Red Walker wakes up at a table and hears a phone ringing outside. You cannot leave immediately because the door on the right is locked, so you first need to find a key.

Pick up the Car Key from the table and head left. You can inspect the jukebox and commemorative plaque along the way, then enter the kitchen.

There is a radio on the left side of the kitchen. Inspect it to move the camera closer to the table, then take the Diner Key hanging from the rack. You can also make Coffee here. Be sure to use the coffee pot because drinking Coffee increases Red's maximum Stamina.

Return to the main dining area and enter the restroom on the left. A note on the bulletin board lists the emergency radio frequency as 89.0 MHz. If you return to the kitchen and tune the radio to that frequency, you can hear an emergency broadcast.

In the toilet, inspect the sink and take the Locked Ring Box. You cannot open it yet, but the item will be useful later.

Return to the dining area, go to the door on the left, and unlock it with the Diner Key. Once outside, answer the ringing phone. Mr. Jackman will tell you that Eddie Velvet, the musician you are looking for, is staying at the Crimson Bear Motel.

After the call, head right toward the parked car. Use the Car Key to open the trunk and take everything inside. Before leaving the diner area, continue a little farther right and pick up a can of Soda from the table.

Head east until you reach a notice board. Take the Silver Pines Outskirts Map. This gives you a map of the area, and your next story objective will be highlighted with a red circle.

Head north, then turn east toward the Ferry Office. You can speak with the local Sheriff there, who will point you toward the motel.

After the conversation, head back west and go past the Tunnel. You will soon reach the Crimson Bear Motel. There is a Phone nearby that lets you save your progress.

The motel's main gate has a keypad. To get inside, you need Eddie Velvet's Guest Number, which you do not have yet.

The Check-In Office is to the left of the gate. Go inside and read the note on the bulletin board. It says the staff went to Rodney's General Store. Your next objective is to reach the store.

Leave the office, head left, and take the road north. You will pass Garth's Pharmacy. Pick up the Flatleaf Herb near the entrance, then go inside.

There is another Flatleaf Herb immediately to the right of the entrance. You can also take a Bottle from the counter on the left side of the store. Then enter the Staff Only area and inspect the shelf on the left.

The Underpass Key is lying there. Take it, return to the street near the motel, and continue left until you reach a locked gate. Use the Underpass Key to open it and enter the Underpass.

Follow the corridor to the end and go through the door. There is a ledge to the right that you need to drop from. Inspect the dead animal, then search the satchel beside it to get some Money.

Continue north, turn right, and climb the wall to reach the other side. Keep going until you arrive at Rodney's General Store.

There is another Phone outside the entrance. We recommend saving here because you are about to encounter your first dangerous enemy.

Enter the store and head right. There is some Money in the cash register that is worth taking. Then inspect the calendar on the wall and note today's date.

Enter the room on the right and read the note on the bulletin board. It contains the clue for the Freezer Room keypad: the combination consists of 23 followed by the current day of the month.

That means the correct Freezer Room code is 2311.

Return to the left side of the store, approach the Freezer Room keypad, and enter the combination.

Inside, head right and go through the door at the end. In the next room, you can inspect the bag of meat and read the writing on the tag attached to it.

There is a table with a duffle bag on the right side of the room. Open it and take the Check-In Key.

As soon as you do, a monster appears near the bag of meat. Red does not have a suitable weapon yet, so do not try to fight it. Dodge its attacks, run back through the Freezer Room, and leave the store.

Once you are outside, head left and pick up the Boxcutter. This is your first melee weapon, and it can also cut through fabric barriers blocking certain paths.

Continue west and jump over the wall. After passing the yellow sign, use the Boxcutter to cut through the hanging fabric. Keep going left, then head south, jump toward the ledge above you, grab it, and climb the ladder.

Go through the door on the right to return to the main section of the Underpass. Open the chest along the way to get Duct Tape, then cut through the fabric blocking the eastern passage.

You can now return to the motel's Check-In Office. Another enemy appears in the Underpass, but you do not need to fight it. Dodge around it and keep running.

Once you reach the Check-In Office, go inside and use the Boxcutter to cut through the fabric partition on the right.

The next room contains a Storage Container for managing your inventory. If your inventory is full, leave anything you do not currently need here. There is also a Flatleaf Herb on the right.

There is a locked chest nearby. Open it with the Check-In Key found in Rodney's General Store.

Inside is the Motel Guest Ledger. Inspect its pages and find the entry for Eddie Velvet. The Guest Number listed next to his name is the code required to open the gate.

Return to the motel's main gate, interact with the keypad, and enter the number from your ledger. You can now enter the Crimson Bear Motel grounds.

After passing through the gate, head left toward the Porcelain Bear Gift Shop. Pick up the motel map from the information board along the way.

Enter the shop. There is a gun locker on the right containing a W-500 Shotgun and ammunition, but you cannot open it yet because you will learn the combination later.

Head to the left side of the store and read the Fusebox Note. Then go down the stairs into the basement.

The basement is partially flooded. There is a chest with Duct Tape beneath the stairs on the left. Take it, then continue right.

Move the curtain near the middle of the basement. Behind it is an unusual door with a palm tree design. The Door Knob is missing, so you cannot open it yet. Remember this location.

Continue right. There is an enemy beyond the gate that is worth killing. If necessary, you can lure it outside, slip past it, and close the door behind you, but you will need to return here later.

Inspect the table at the far end of the room and take the Electrical Fuse (40A).

Now head back upstairs. On the way, an insect-like creature attacks you. Wait for it to approach or leap at you, then hit it with a charged Boxcutter attack. It is safer to step back and strike after the creature misses.

Leave the Gift Shop and head east. There is a Fuse Box beside the Game Room. Insert the Electrical Fuse (40A) and turn the power on for all three circuits.

Once the electricity is restored, you can enter the Game Room.

A mounted BB Gun is located on the left side of the Game Room, next to a Prize Dispenser. To play the shooting game and win the prize, you first need to find BB Pellets.

Head right and deal with the monster. Then inspect the counter and take the BB Pellets. There is also a note here, and you can collect some Money from the cash register.

Return to the BB Gun and interact with it to start the mini-game. You need to hit every target that appears.

Do not fire randomly. Wait for each target to appear, line up your shot, and then pull the trigger. Completing the challenge successfully causes the Prize Dispenser to release the reward: the Poolside Key.

Leave the Game Room and approach the gate leading to the Pool Area. Use the Poolside Key to unlock it.

As soon as you enter the Pool Area, you will see a Phone on the right that can be used to save. There is also a Vending Machine and a Storage Container here. Restock or free up inventory space if necessary.

There are several numbered rooms around the motel. You can hear a woman crying inside Room 3, but nobody answers if you knock. Remember this room because you will later be able to speak with its occupant over the phone.

Head left and enter the Changing Room. Inspect the hanging shirt to find the Grizzly Suite Keycard.

Return to the motel's main building and go to the upper floor. Reach the Grizzly Suite and unlock the door with the Keycard.

A Snub .38 Revolver is lying on the chair. Be sure to take it along with the .38 Bullets from the nearby table.

The Revolver lets you attack enemies from a distance, but ammunition is limited in Silver Pines. Use the Boxcutter against ordinary monsters whenever possible and save your bullets for more dangerous enemies.

Enter the next room and inspect the guitar case on the bed. Inside are several Polaroids, including a Torn Polaroid of a woman. Take it with you.

A monster will then break through the door on the right. Kill it and enter the newly opened room.

There are two important items here: the Pool Net and the Welcome Booklet Note. Take the Pool Net and inspect the booklet.

Page 2 explains how to use the Phone to contact guests staying in individual rooms. You will need this information to obtain the next weapon.

Remember the woman crying in Room 3? You now have the instructions needed to call her.

Leave the Grizzly Suite and go down to the Phone near the Pool Area. According to the Welcome Booklet, calls to motel guests use the number 5888 followed by the room number.

To contact the woman, dial 58883.

She answers and gives you the 6671 combination for the gun locker in the Porcelain Bear Gift Shop. In return, the mysterious woman asks Red to have a drink with her.

After the call, return to the Gift Shop and approach the gun locker on the right side of the sales floor. Enter the code and open it.

Inside are the W-500 Shotgun and 12ga Buckshot Ammo.

The Shotgun is especially useful against large enemies, but do not waste its ammunition on weaker monsters. Try to save at least a few shells for the upcoming boss fight.
