ok sooo this is probably a dumb question but how do you actually progress in this game??

I opened the green door, went down the hallway, turned the crank in the music room… and literally nothing changed. camera still refuses to go downstairs.

is there like… a second switch or something??

Nah, you didn’t miss anything.

Pretty sure the downstairs area just straight-up isn’t accessible.

The crank only messes with the lighting; it doesn’t unlock anything. You gotta head through the blue room instead.

Also iirc the “full basement sequence” was supposed to be in version 0.2 but they never actually released it.

For whatever it’s worth, my hallway lights flicker after I turn the crank, so it does trigger something, just nothing useful.

Also if you stand still long enough your character looks toward the stairs. Thought it was a hint at first.

Edit: nope, idle animation. Does the same thing in the playroom lol.

Yeah, the crank just changes the background layers slightly. It’s barely noticeable.

As far as I can tell the game doesn’t really have “progression” at this point—feels more like a half-finished level viewer.
