Genesis Pt. 11: Inner Demon

Record the image scribbled on the wall if you’re looking for Blake’s insights. Apparently, you’ve been dropped into the school before the suicide. Go through the door on the left, and enter the second door on the left in the pitch-black hallway. In the classroom, collect the hangman game from the desk – this is just the first part. There’s a second part you’ll need to get, too.

Next, go down the door on the right side of the graffiti and enter the room with the projector. Place the clear slide on the projector, then move it left. Switch to the back of the projector and move it forward until the letters properly line up to spell “Unforgiveable”.

Return to the center of the school dream, where the scribbles on the wall first appeared. You’ll find a new door that leads to the exit. Too bad there’s no way out of this dream – the lockers will bang together and the screen will distort. Continue moving back and forth down the hall until a frightening, jawless creature attacks!

There’s nothing you can do here. After it scurries away, find the new door that appears in the hallway and enter the office. The vent cover is banging around on the floor – use the wheeled cart to create a platform so you can jump up and into the vents.

Keep crawling and you’ll find a way out! Even when the slobbering tongue demon tries to stop you…
