Night at the Office

Start

You will start at your desk. You will see a green balloon (1/3), a red balloon (1/2) and a yellow balloon (1/4) at Joseph Anadam's desk - there is also a letter here saying that he has left. Turn around and take the kitchen knife (1/8) from the shelves along the wall. Enter the printer room through the nearby doorway and the light will come on. Use the middle printer on the desk here, then take the document. There is another green balloon (2/3) that you can see through a door here.

Return out to the main office and use your computer until it shuts down. Go over to the door in the other corner and try to use the scanner, but you don't have your key card. Return to your desk, but the key card is gone, then head to Joseph's desk to hear a radio broadcast. Go to the printer room again and take the pills on the far counter.

Go back out to the main office. Walk towards the taped-off area, then walk away and the tape will fall. Enter this smaller office area look on the desks to find a candle (1/4) and on the floor beneath the desk near the water cooler to find a kitchen knife (2/8). Now go around into a boardroom on the left. Pick up a key from the end of the table. There is a safe in here that needs a code based on the balloons you are finding.

Leave the boardroom and use the key to unlock the door to Sherry Madison's office, which is just to the left. Read the letter on the desk here. Go back out to the main office., then into the printer room and the lights will go out, Start using your flashlight to see, and head back to Sherry's office, where you can open the fuse box on the wall and use the switches to turn the lights back on. Go to the printer room again and take the pills on the far counter.

When you come back out to the office there will be blood leading into the smaller office area, and the female bathroom door will be moving. Go into the smaller office area and one of the chairs will move, allowing you to go right into the kitchen. Pick up half of your key card from the counter, and notice the yellow balloon (2/4). Return out of the kitchen to see the teeth chattering on a desk. Go to the boardroom, where the body from earlier is now missing, and you will hear a phone start ringing. Enter Sherry's office and answer the phone - listen to the message from Marcus.

Return to the main office and take the key from the pot plant near Joseph's desk. Head to the smaller office area and use this key to unlock the door to Marcus Krain's office. In here you will find a red balloon (2/2) and you can take the bolt cutters from Sherry's body. Look on the floor behind the pot plant in the corner of the room to find the next kitchen knife (3/8). Leave here and enter the kitchen, using the bolt cutters on the locked cupboard. Take the string from inside the cupboard.

Go back out to the main office. Enter the female bathroom to find a yellow balloon (3/4) - try to open all the stalls, then turn to leave and the lights will go out again. If you examine the sinks, one of them has an item deep in the drain that you cannot reach. Go back to Sherry's office and turn the lights back on again. Go to the printer room again and take the pills on the far counter.

Listen to the new radio broadcast in the main office area. Enter the female bathroom and search the stalls to find a kitchen knife (4/8), a yellow balloon (4/4) and a note from Marcus.

Go to the smaller office area and you will hear the phone ringing. Go to Sherry's office and answer the phone twice. Leave this office and go back to the printer room. Go to the middle printer and read the letter - a series of balloons will start coming towards you and pop, but you don't need to count these. Go out into the main office area and the light will turn red. Continue to the smaller office area, then make your way to the male bathroom and open the door. Search the stalls to find a candle (2/4). Take the other half of your key card from the stool in the middle of the bathroom.

Combine the 2 halves of the key card in your inventory. Leave here and go back around to the printer room. Use your key card on the scanner, then open the door and go around to the end of the hallway Checkpoint!.

Checkpoint

By this stage you should have found 4 knives and 2 candles; if you start the game from this checkpoint in the future (or if you missed any earlier), you can go around and collect them now.

Go to Marcus' office (the sign now says "Vacant") to see that Sherry is still there. Once the phone starts ringing, go to Sherry's office and answer it. Now head into the male bathroom and the lights will go out. Return to Sherry's office and go to the fuse box, but the switches are now missing. Go to the kitchen and the cupboards will open slam open - search them to find a kitchen knife (5/8). Head out to the main office area and the lights will automatically come back on. Go to the printer room again and take the pills on the far counter.

Use your key card on the scanner, then open the door and go around to the elevator lobby. Here you will see a green balloon (3/3) as well as four black balloons (4/4) in the painting. Pick up the medallion from the low table. Try to use the elevator, but nothing happens when you press the call button. Open both of the other doors leading away from this lobby using your key card.

Head out to Marcus' office and a fire alarm will start ringing. Wander around until the lights go out and your phone flashlight fails. Go to the printer room again and take the pills on the far counter.

Make your way out to the main office, then around to the elevators to see Joseph fall. You will now hear a phone ringing. Go to Marcus' office and answer the phone here. Use your medallion to open the cupboard on the wall. Click to start and then stop rotating the dials - you need to match the adjacent letters:

Once you are done, take the small hook and combine it with the string in your inventory. Next go to the boardroom and open the safe with the combination based on the balloons you have seen - 3244 Code Cracker. Take the kitchen knife (6/8). Next go to the female bathroom and use your string and hook on the basin to get another key.

Out in the smaller office area, use this key on Dan Xclavier's office door. Go inside and read the letter on the boxes on the left. Grab another kitchen knife (7/8) from behind the printer. Also read the memo on the main desk. You can look at the TV screen, but nothing is moving on the security vision.

Head out to the elevator lobby and carefully look inside the left edge of the open elevator shaft to find the last kitchen knife (8/8) Future Chef. Go back to the kitchen and insert the 8 kitchen knives into the knife block. Take the candle (3/4) and a cog. Go back around to the elevator lobby and jump down the elevator shaft.

Endings

From here, there are several ways to end the game.

Hell Ending

Walk around the corner, then go towards the lights and finally towards the red light Hell's paradise.

Heaven Ending

Go down the dark end of the hallway and a light will eventually come on. Walk towards the door and you will automatically use the cog to open it. Go inside and take the ladder Stairway to heaven. Turn back around and continue around the corner, then go towards the lights. Head towards the white light Future angel.

Candle Ending

To get this ending, you need to first get the ladder and select the Heaven ending. When you start from the checkpoint again, you will still have the cog and the ladder. Go around and collect the 3 candles you have found previously, then use the ladder on the wall shelves in the main office area and get the last candle (4/4) Scent Admirer.

Play through the remainder of the game until you jump down the elevator shaft. Go down the dark end of the hallway and into the room where you found the ladder. Use the candles here What is this?.
