Spoiler Warning: Please note that this article contains potential spoilers for those who have not completed the game. Proceed with caution if you wish to preserve the surprise and enjoyment of experiencing the game firsthand.
Bedroom Puzzle
After reaching your room, Birly will enter the small yellow tent and come out with a train conductor’s hat, leaving behind a piece of a train track. Pick up this discarded train track by left-clicking on it and slot it into the space near the door.
First Achievement (Train)
Next, find the plug located next to the door and connect it. This action will start the train toy and a firefly will be released, unlocking the first achievement.
The train will stop because the track is blocked. Walk over to the track and push the obstruction to clear the path, opening the way to the next room.
Second Achievement (Vinyl)
- In the next room, go upstairs and pick up Birly. Toss him up the broken stairs and instruct him to drop the ladder for you.
- Take note of a photo on the wall and a small table with a box next to it. On top of the box, you’ll find a vinyl record. Carry this record with you to the next room.
After a brief cutscene, pick up the vinyl record again and place it on the phonograph in the room’s southeastern corner. Doing this will unlock the second achievement.
Bathroom Puzzle
- To progress further, use the cabinet to climb the wall and ascend until you reach a metal pipe. Hold onto this pipe and follow it to the air duct that Birly entered. You’ll find yourself standing on a large cabinet that is about to fall here.
- Before the cabinet falls entirely, jump to the ledge on the other side. Instead of dropping down, use the exposed wooden frame on the wall as a temporary ladder.
- Observe a red piece of cloth on this wooden frame close to the red light. Use this cloth as a ladder again to ascend and find a valve.
- Push the toolbox off and then turn off the valve. This action allows you to safely cross over the metal pipes and proceed to the next area.
