This is kind of cool, from a feelie perspective, and helps sell the idea of the ship as a particular place. For one thing, the game frequently has Taylor making long trips through solitary corridors. On the schematic map, all the rooms are directly connected to one another, wasting no time with intervening space.
Silent Night is not like Mayday: Deep Space , where you have to steer the protagonist past antagonists that you can see on the schematic plan. You mostly still learn by dying in order to solve the piece. But the main thing I come away with, and I actually mean this as a kind of praise: It is not that long a story; it is structurally not very involved; you could stick this narrative together in Twine in a pretty short time.
What do you see? OPT "Check the [Corpse]". It's the same as on the Dresses. Say "Behind you" to warn her or she'll take some damage.
See a Problem?
Make sure you go to the "Emergency panel" this time to find a broken Shutter key. OPT "Check [Oxygen mask]". For more useless checking go to the "Table" and "check the [Wine], [Champagne], and [Meat]". You'll have to take on 1 Slug though. You must be thinking to yourself how much more mirrors and bodies can a person check? Rio will use the Shutter Key you found in Guest Room 2. On entry fight 1 3-Eyed Worm. Note even if you know the password it won't work. Now "check the [Screen] and [Blueprint]" and then "read [Questionnaire]".
The "Bathroom" is empty. Now go outside to the "Hallway" and back to the "Sun Suite". Now you have to say the whole thing from both passwords together simultaneously with Rio. Synchronize and say with her "Even the very shadow that you cast in sunlight. I want to monopolize" to finally enter the Sun Suite. Is it just me or are you like what the heck is that supposed to mean? Make sure to use multiple shots to destroy each eye before going onto the next one.
He won't be dead yet go for the "mouth" or "tail" when it's electrified blue or shaking.
You can even "smell the flowers". Turns out you need to find a flame thrower in the Equipment Room. Rio will automatically go back downstairs but you want to go back up. Head for the "Second Floor" again and hit the "Wash Room". Tell Rio to "use the [Toilet]" and "use [Toilet Paper]" for some funny responses. Time to find another fire weapon. By doing so, you will have identified all the Power panels and Shelves in the room. You can stop by the "Food unit" only to find nothing. See the next part for full details. To drop back on solid ground, "get off" to step lift but make sure to turn OFF the [Power panel].
See the Puzzle Box below for details. With the power ready head to the "Supply unit" and turn ON the [Power panel] on the lift. Now turn ON the [Lift panel]. Move around the shelves in the pattern on the [Notice] in the Data unit section to get to the middle right shelf. The Utility unit and Supply unit lifts share the same power source. So you must have only one [Power panel] ON operational at a time. A rough sketch of the pattern is on the [Notice].
At this point you have to name off a few but you can say just about anything that is in the room or could be in the room like "Operating table", "Case files", "doctors", "syringe", "scale", "bedpan", or my favorite "nurse", etc. Now Rio can't remember the name of the weapon she's thinking of, it's on the tip of her tongue.
This is an absolute mystery if you don't recognize her hints. Say "Molotov cocktail" to help her out. Again you can say a bunch of different things like "machine gun", "missile", "launcher", "spear". Unlike before you have to say it or you don't move on. OPT Go to the "Operating table".
When Rio is silent say anything to snap her out of it. You can also stop by the "Bed" for nothing. OPT You can skip "Case 2" and "Case 4", they contain monsters and you won't get anything for beating them. It's time to roast a Spider! Save your game at the "Save Point", exit out the "Hallway" and "run to Shutter 4" It's a long way back.
Watch the spider's mouth as soon as it opens say "Now! If you mistime it or take too long it's Game Over! After the cutscene you'll be stuck in Guest Hall II. You only have one choice go inside the "Rest Rooms". She's scared to go into the Men's Stalls, when she tries to back away say "no".
Then ease her worries with a few supportive words "Don't be scared" or "be strong" and finally "yes" when prompted. Once you regain control you'll want to head to the men's side first, go to the "Men's stalls". Note Rio will be so scared she'll barely even walk, even if you say "hurry" she won't run. There is also an annoying delay sometimes when you walk up to the stalls. OPT The 1st and 3rd have nothing "open Stall to the left, 2nd to the right" and the 4th has 3 Slugs "open Stall to the right".
Turn around and go for the "Men's Washstands", and "shoot middle [Mirror]" to reveal on the wall. You can also "check [Trash can]" to find out it's empty. Next head to the "Ladies' Washstands", you'll notice all the objects have already been identified from the Men's side. OPT The 3 Mirrors on this side are useless but you can "check" or "shoot" them if you want. OPT Again you can open the other stalls. This time the 1st and 4th Stalls are empty and the 3rd Stall has the 3 Slugs. To piss Rio off tell her to "go pee" or "clean the toilet". She's so cute when she's scared, not to mention angry.
OPT If you want "check [Pendant]" but make sure you do it first cause you can't go back. Now you can move on. When you first enter take out 1 3-Eyed Worm plus 2 Slugs. At the "Living area" you get a little hint for later. OPT The "Dresser" will be empty if you choose to go. Remember that wig in the other room, "check [Wig]" on the dead body and Rio will find a ticket that says she sells.
You can play the mini-game now by answering "yes". OPT "Check [Mobile phone]" and for a laugh ask her to "take off your clothes" a couple of times. Back in the hall go to "Shutter 6" and fight another 1 3-Eyed Worm. OPEN the [Shutter panel]. When Rio goes past the corner and you see the guy behind her say "right! When she asks is it okay to shoot say "no". Note if you fail to alert her or tell her to "shoot" him you will take some extra damage.
Answer "yes" when Rio asks if you'll open the Shutter gate to the port. Now head for the "Receiving port" and "check the [Power panel]" then turn ON the two sides while the PM party pesters you. Watch the cutscene and say "yes" you'll help her. Note if you say "no" 5 times she'll shoot the camera and it's Game Over just like at the beginning of the game. Now with your new gear it's time to explore a new part of the hotel, the Staff section.

If you thought it was getting a little old exploring all the Guest Rooms, the change of scenery will do you good. Little info on the Machine Gun, it's stronger but you have to reload more often which takes some getting used to. You also can't "Spin the gun", woop-de-doo. OPT "Use [Shower]" for a good laugh as always. So skip ahead if you want. Be warned you might still have to fight the monsters found in the optional section.
You can mow down the Orange Slugs with 3 "head" shots from the Machine gun. For a major hint for the next puzzle see below "check the Fruits Candy [Cardboard box] with picture" and "read the [Invoice]". If you are really bored "check the brown and white [Cardboard box]" and "use the [Vacuum cleaner]". The picture is the same thing that's on the box. If she won't eat them try leaving the table and then going back. If that doesn't work you might need to try guessing the password on Jonathan's room first. OPEN the [Lock panel], but before you get in you need a password. The food he is collecting?
Say "strawberry candy" to break into his dorm. Okay let me spill the beans why this is the password for wondering minds. Now notice the pictures advertising Fruit's Candy actually show 5 colored candies orange, yellow, green, purple, and pink in the upper left corner. The picture shows the corresponding fruits in the background, pink being strawberry. On the table there's candy poured out all over the place and you'll notice that the "strawberry candy" is missing. OPT If you fail to make the connection immediately, you can have Rio "eat candy" to tell you the flavors.
But I have tried this personally with no luck. In theory it should not work because the pass- word is supposed to be a food, however this reader was still successful. Time for another puzzle. What's with these locks on doors now a days, geesh? You need to match the Chemicals formulas from the scientific document with Read This. So you simply swap Butane for Pentane in the Chemicals formula.
I'm not sure if this is right but that's my take on it anyway. Go down to the "First floor" and to the "Lockers", then "check the Locker". After all your hard work save at the "Save Point" and exit to the "Hallway". Once your back in the Hall go towards the "Warehouse". Rio hears gun shots in the Warehouse but gets locked out. She says she has the Warehouse key in her room. OPT Area B is a dead end. Shoot the "branches" to expose the eyes, then immediately shoot the "left eye", "middle eye" or "right eye". If you're fast you can mow it down before it attacks so ignore the Slugs until after.
If you're a little slow don't worry just "dodge" every so often to avoid the blue energy balls. Rio goes to her room and finds it trashed. When she gets depressed tell her to "Cheer up! Note that you can't explore Rio's Room even if you try to go back. Rio tests to see if you can see her by telling her what hand she raises. She will test you 3 times and it's random but possible answers are "left", "right", "both" or "neither".
Note you could have come in here without the Night Vision but you wouldn't have been able to win the Which Hand? Area A-1 is where you came in. Along the way you'll have to fight a long streak of battles so keep an eye on your health remember you can "recover" outside of battle. First fight off 3 Evil Hands, watch out they tend to trap you in a tight space so "flee" right away.
Next is a slug fest with 5 Slugs. Keep going and fight 2 Evil Hands and 1 Slug. And even further ahead duke it out with more 3 Slugs. Then prepare to fight 1 Evil Hand and 2 Slugs. When she returns you have one last fight with 2 Evil Hands and 1 Slug. Note this is by far the longest number of consecutive fights you'll face the entire game.
Nothing the rest of the way is as grueling as this, so pat yourself on the back. When the lights go on things get ugly. Tell Rio to "run". Note even if you stay behind and "shoot" you'll still run away. Move on to "Area C" for a fight with 1 Slug and a new enemy 1 Frog. It's weak on its belly, so shoot either the "hind leg", "front leg" or "tail" to flip it over. Now quickly aim for the "left stomach" and "right stomach" to make the "red stomach" appear, destroy it to win. Two things to know about the grenade shells. You can fire them for extra damage in battle, but of course you've got to have grenades.
You also need them on the field to destroy panels that block your path. The Frogs are one of a kind because they always drop a Launcher shell except in the Observatory Restaurant they drop Heal Capsules too. Keep going to "Area B" and Rio will destroy the blockage using a shell. Okay let me give you some instructions on how to do this. The specifics are past the box, but use these tips to better understand my step-by-step guide.
Say "red", "blue", or "green" to go around the gaps as Rio walks forward. To make it across keep these 6 things in mind. Just say "walk" to slow her down again or "stop". You don't need to "hurry" to get through - You can have Rio "stop" at any time, just tell her to "walk" again, you'll need this on the 2nd half to avoid the gas. However you actually will want to fall twice to pick us some Heal Capsules see below. Is it just me or is there a strange sense of satisfaction that comes from watching her lose her balance and take a tumble?
The first thing you should do is stay on red and let Rio fall to the lower level. This time avoid falling, for the most part you wait until you get close to a gap or the block shakes before you move.
Following that rule of thumb work your way across "blue", "red", "blue", "green", "blue", "green" and "red" to get to the halfway point. Again you'll want to fall down so jump to "blue" immediately and let the gas push you off. Guide her properly this time and make sure to "stop" frequently so Rio won't run into the gas. There's a couple ways to do this but this sequence should work. When you get to the two blue gas leaks in a row "stop". Then after the 1st one goes off quickly "walk", "stop", "green", "stop" and "walk" over the green gas leak.
Continue with "green", then "red" over the gap in blue, then back to "blue". Pause in the middle of the blue again "stop", "walk" then wait at the edge Rio will stop automatically. Jump on "green" when the gas stops and quickly "walk" to get out of the way. Jump to "Red" and then finally "blue" at the last step.
Silver Heart
Whew made it to the other side. If you fall too much you'll get an angry Rio. In any battles from here on out you can use the Special word "Launcher" in battle to fire some shells. Next stop the "Waiting Room". She'll want your help finding a disc marked August 8th. Say "red and blue stars" to grab the one Rio's looking for.
Burns Like Fire
Say "Gino" when she asks for somebody who might know about the stone. There no monsters here so you can explore without any trouble. Notice the Chip and Heal Capsule in the background during the cutscenes, now is your time to get them. OPT "Check [Copier] in the back". Exit to the "Hallway" and head to the "Elevator Hall". Once inside go to the "Observatory Restaurant". Note you will come back to the elevator later. Let me lay it out for you before we get started. The restaurant has 5 panels to break through so you'll need 5 grenades. You should have 2 since you haven't been in any fights yet and you used one to break the panel blocking the air duct.
So go to either "Section 2, 3, or 4" to stock up on at least 3 more shells although you probably don't need any from here on out see below. Note if you head to 2 or 4 you will automatically be taken to the Chandelier, just go back to one of the sections. Sections 2, 3 and 4 are respawning points for Frogs, if you are all out of shells go to any one to replenish your supply.
Each fight will be against either 1 Slug and 1 Frog or 1 3-Eyed Worm and 1 Frog and the prizes change after a while.
Taking on the Dead Trailer! | Annie Walls
The battles and prizes are random but you will always get one or two Launcher shells, a Heal Capsule or nothing for your efforts. As you can see you can fight for as long as you want to get as much stuff as you want. To keep things simple I have not counted the 4th shell or any there after you only need 3 to continue , nor any of the Heal Capsules towards the final total. Do you actually need more grenades? No there are no more barriers to break down.
The only thing you might use them for is the next boss to make it a little easier. You will get 3 more before then so you are probably good to go. Don't worry he's not too tough whether you use shells or not. Now go to the "Chandelier" and say "launcher" one more time to break the last 3 [Panels]. Save your game at the "Save Point" and move on.
Exit2 is blocked so go to "Exit 1" to get back to the Elevator Hall. Its main attack is to disappear and drop down on you from above releasing a circular shockwave. Now you have a small amount of time to get one shot off before it charges you or disappears to strike again. Go for whatever is facing you the "eye" or the "mouth".
Note that it sometimes flips to the mouth at the last second to charge you, so not only do you miss you also get hit. Hopefully by moving with the dodge you'll have more time to react. Rio rides the observatory elevator where you get to see a beautiful view of Earth and listen to the great melody from the title screen. You really get to know each other on the way up.
Rio even makes a little pass at you, too bad you have a girlfriend. Answer "yes" when she asks if you feel alive. The next couple parts I think you can almost say anything you want. First say something when she asks what your first word was, then again what your favorite word or saying is, and finally say a big fat "yes" when she asks if you want to know about her. When you finally get to other side of the space station "go to Exit 2" for another battle against 1 3-Eyed Worm and 3 Slugs.
Then head for "Exit 1" to the Senior Staff Hall. This is a breeze it's all the way at the other end of the hall just shoot from a distance. Then head straight for the "Save Point" for a much needed save. Go to the "TV" next, too bad there's no time to relax. Next stop the "Table" to do a little clean up. OPT You can also check out those impossible to guess cups. Plus "read the [Report]" to find out Allen's been a bad boy! Thought it was something better huh. Don't worry they don't appear all at once. For some reason "check tea bag" does not work, what's up with that!?
He tries to force her to go with him. Just "threaten" him to shut him up real quick. Note if you don't Gino knocks you unconscious and it's Game Over! Time to walk better yet "run to the Manager's Office" it's a long way down. On the way take out 2 Evil Hands and 1 Slug. Now for one tough battle against 3 Frogs. The red one is stronger and hangs on the ceiling.
Try unloading 3 shots in a row to make it flip and then go for the stomachs. All I can say is be precise, quick, and move often. If you struggle with the fights I recommend you go back to the Break Room and save your game so you don't have to do it over. There is a boss fight coming up. Finally enter the "Manager's Office". When it pins her against the wall, "shoot" twice. He's not as tough as he looks. At the start, shoot every body part that is glowing red until they all stop glowing.
From here there are 2 strategies. There aren't anymore bosses you need them for so if you saved some grenades, "launcher" and it will knock him down and all his parts will glow red again. Then quickly "shoot, shoot, shoot" or "auto-fire" at whatever part you're aiming at. In all honesty you won't need grenades the rest of the game and you'll get 2 more anyway even for the final boss so if you have them use them. If you you're fresh out of shells, don't worry.
Quickly shoot at it. This will take longer but you can easily take 0 damage. It kind of dances around you and sometimes he'll lunge at you.
If he does you can "flee" and a few of his body part glow red. You know what to do. You can also "use the [Robe]". The on the left side is the spaces or number of times you say to move it. The on the right side is the position rotating clockwise around the dial see diagram. The orange dot indicates your position. The goal is to match the numbers on the Number note found at the top of the screen , from top to bottom, to the numbers on the safe. You can move spaces either left or right to change your position on the dial. You can always "reset" to start over. Then "6 to the left" which will rotate it all the way around counting backwards past 0 4 spaces and 2 spaces more from 7 to 6.
This is 6 spaces and the position is 6. Finally the last is "2 to the right" to move 2 spaces and land back on 0, completing the sequence. After watching a revealing video head outside to the "Hallway" and run to the "Exhibit Room". You have to be exact so after she says 'now' and starts to swipe the card, hit square right when the card is about to slide through the panel. First thing make sure to save at the "Save Point" since you won't get another chance for some time. Annie, thank you for your blog post.
