Tips
  • You don't need to wait for the Needlers to cut open the elevator frame; you can shoot them through the grating if your aim is accurate.
  • The dialogue choices in Room 301 affect the conversation but ultimately lead to the same objective: finding three memories (photos) for the lady.
  • Be prepared for combat encounters with Nurses and Swarms. Use charged attacks with the Fire Axe for effective damage against the Nurse.
  • Pay attention to environmental clues and notes, as they provide hints for puzzles and progression.
