The Silent Partner — walkthrough

Complete spoilers. Every puzzle, in order. If you only want a nudge, the hint page gives you one thing at a time.

Each entry is one command, in order, separated by slashes. Directions are abbreviated (n, se, u, d). This is the exact sequence the game's own test suite runs, so it is always current.

Act I — The Walkthrough

examine logos / n / w / examine clipboard / e / e
u / examine riser door / n / examine dust / s / w
examine doors / switch / feed lobby / feed bay / switch / radio

Take Ash up to the riser and read the fire doors in the stair, then switch, look at the building through the feeds, and radio. The act ends when both of you know something and only one of you found it.

Act II — The Lobby

switch / feed desk / switch / n / u

feed desk before you move, then switch and go up the riser. The round is the same round every night and the riser is on nothing.

Act III — The Server Floor

e / examine door / radio / switch / unlock bay4 in 2 / switch
wait / e / examine boxes / examine file

Examine the maglock as Ash, radio, then unlock bay4 in 3 and be standing at it when it goes. This is the one puzzle in the collection that one person cannot solve.

Act IV — The Fourth Floor

e / e / open the cabinet / radio / wait / wait
wait / wait / wait / wait

Break the 2007–2011 cabinet, read the index, and radio. Then read the flip chart in the meeting room, four pages back.

Act V — The Van

switch / unlock the fire door

Four endings and each belongs to one body: unlock the fire door and upload it are Nadia's; walk out the front is Ash's; leave it is either.
