Episode 4

Nice gun!

Unfortunately now that Emily can actually see the Shadows it means she has to deal with a slew of them to get to York. Luckily she’s packing a [9mm Sheriff Custom Handgun] that’s actually more powerful than York’s FBI handgun so this won’t be too hard! (After York is rescued he even adds this gun to his inventory!)

Climb the fifteen or so flights of stairs dodging/killing Shadows along the way until you reach the level with both a phone to save and a bed to sleep on. Stock up on [First Aid Kit (Mediums)] that infinitely re-spawn on the shelf then exit the room through door at the top of the stairs. Head through another door and finally come face to face with Thomas.

Emily demands to know where York is but the mentally unstable Thomas only wants to discuss his feelings for his “Lovely G” instead. Thomas is extremely distraught that “G” only has eyes for Emily and decides it’s time for him to eliminate the competition.

There’s no talking Thomas down now…it’s time for the first boss fight of the game.

An example of a dodge button combo.

This boss battle isn’t too difficult, simply shoot Thomas and dodge one of his three attack styles whenever prompted:

• Attack #1: Thomas will jump from gear to gear and shoot at Emily. To evade the shots by simply push [B] when prompted before the timer runs out.
• Attack #2: Thomas will shoot his gun three times in the air and calls forth a large hooked chain to swing towards Emily. To dodge push the three button combo that flashes onto the screen.

Thomas swings towards Emily.
• Attack #3: When a horn sounds large hooked chain will descend from the ceiling. Thomas will step aboard and ride it as swings directly into Emily. To dodge just push the three button combo that flashes on the screen.

You’ll have the most luck hitting Thomas while he’s standing on the gears closest to Emily, but it is possible to hit him when he’s standing anywhere. Unfortunately, targeting him while he’s on the gears is useless so you’ll have to make the shots by sight alone.

The best moment to get in a lot of shots in is when Thomas stands on that large hooked chain! Listen for the horn and be prepared to lock on when he starts swinging towards you. Complete all the button prompt to dodge the swing and then target him again while he’s stationary and rising to the ceiling.

What a sad end for Thomas 🙁

Once Thomas has taken enough damage Emily will attempt to talk him down but to no avail. Thomas pulls out a knife rushes toward Emily but is stopped when Willie latches on to his arm. Thomas inadvertently stabs himself in the chest trying to shoo the dog away and stumbles forward falling face first onto an exposed hook.

York, Emily, and Kaysen pull up to the Greenvale Sheriff Department in a patrol car. York jumps out to take the front entrance and asks Emily to secure the back and orders Kaysen to stay out front… much to salesman’s disappointment.

Inside the station has been invaded by the Other World. York attempts to profile but finds he needs to locate two clues before the current situation will become clear.

From the entrance head down the the hall to the right and enter the first door on the left into the Office Room. Inside Anna runs into George’s office when York enters the room. Pick up the [Crackers] off the corner of the desk then follow her lead into the back office.

In George’s office there’s a phone, toolbox, and a suitcase if you need to grab any items, change your suit, or save your game. Observe the red sparkles by George’s desk to pick up [Clue #1: Key for Hidden Room] hidden inside one of the large trophies.

With this first clue in hand two Shadows will appear back in the main office. Kill both Shadows and pick up the [Key for Cell No. 01] then exit the room, make a left down the main hall, and enter the large conference room through the door on the right.

Pick up a cup of [Coffee (Black)] off the table then dispose of the four Shadows in the room. One of the Shadows standing near the whiteboard will drop [Key for Cell No. 04] once it is killed.

Exit the conference room, head back down the main hall, and pass the main entrance. Kill any Shadows that appear until one drops a [Key for Cell No. 03].

Enter the Locker Room through the first door on the left and dispose of the two Shadows lurking inside and pick up the [Key for Cell No. 02] dropped by the Shadow by the workout bench. Open the nearby locker and grab a [Stabilizer] and a [Can of Pickles] from the corner left of the exit.

Cross the hall and enter the Materials Room. Grab another [Coffee (Black)] off the table to the right then head to the back of the room and open the left-most filing cabinet. Kill the Shadow hiding inside and pick up the [Key for Cell No. 06] that drops.

Red raincoats!

Enter the Storage Room directly across the hall and as if to hammer the point home that George is our killer the room is full of red raincoats! Pick up the [First Aid Kit (Medium)] off a shelf to the left then head to the back of the room to grab the [Shovel] leaning under the window and the [Turkey Sandwich] off the table. Exit the room and head down the stairs into the holding cells below.

The cells aren’t physically numbered but if you observe each one York will state that there’s a number on the door. Cells No. 01 -03 are on the left while Cells No. 04 – 06 are on the right. Anna waits inside a locked Cell No. 05 and you can find the key inside Cell No. 06. Kill the Shadow inside and it will drop the [Key for Cell No. 05] but before you unlock the cell with Anna be sure to use all the other keys you found upstairs to pick up some useful items:

Cell No. 01 – Contains a [Can of Tomato Sauce] on the toilet.
Cell No. 02 – Contains a box of [.357 Magnum Bullets] and [10mm Auto Bullets] inside some wooden boxes.
Cell No. 03 – Contains a [First Aid Kit (Medium)] on the toilet
Cell No. 04 – Contains a box of [Stabilizers] on the toilet.

Once York unlocks Cell No. 05 Anna immediately disappears through the door in the back of the cell. You may remember that in the normal version of the department this same door was poorly hidden by a mattress. Save your game using the phone inside the cell then push open the “secret” door. Head down the staircase and enter into a small ritual room surrounded by trees and dress mannequins.

Destroy the mannequins and small boxes scattered throughout the room to pick up some [Agent Honor (Blue)], two [First Aid Kits (Small)], [5.56mm x 45 Bullets], [.375 Magnum Bullets], and [10mm Auto Bullets]. Once these items are collected head onto the wooden platform with the dead dog and grab the [Agent Honor (Red)].

Carol attacks Emily.

Stepping onto the platform triggers five Shadows to appear around the perimeter of the room. Dispose of all the Shadows and pick up [Clue #2: Carol’s Ear Rings] off the floor. With this last clue in hand York profiles the scene and sees that George had dragged an unwilling Carol down into this secret room and brutally stabbed her.

When York opens his eyes a bloodied but still breathing Carol is standing in middle of the room calmly brushing her hair. Emily enters the room moments later and spots that an upside down peace mark has been drawn on the ceiling with Carol’s blood.

The singer falls to the floor and Emily rushes to her side. When Carol asks about her brother Emily admits to that she had to shoot Thomas in self defense. Carol reveals to Emily that she and Thomas were only substitutes and then with the last of her strength shoved a handful of red seeds into Emily’s mouth screaming that George only loved Emily. York springs into action and kicks Carol away and as the singer finally succumbs to her injuries York calls out to Kaysen from help.
