Find a Way Into Apartment 23

After the call with Tyler, find a brightly lit blue door with a yellow “Eviction Notice” warning. Open the door and go upstairs.

When you reach the top of the stairs from the building entrance, go straight into an open room filled with garbage. Look for a door blocked by planks. Break through the planks by punching them to proceed.

The “Hidden Apartment” features two windows: one opens to the balcony while the other remains boarded up. Remove the boards, step out, and proceed cautiously to the left, leading you to the rooftop. This space unveils another secret.

Back at the “Hidden Apartment” exit through the makeshift ramp and the balcony. Break through the boards covering the window to access the Courtyard.

Head outside and ascend the fire escape stairs. Once at the top, engage with the ladder on your left to lower it. You can access the Dealer’s Apartment through here. Remove the wooden boards from the window and carefully crouch into the apartment. Prior to proceeding, utilize the ladder to descend to the ground level. There, atop a large box, you’ll find a key collectible (Story Item: Lucky Key).

Facing the door behind you, a heart-marked door is to your right – where the basketball court is. Further ahead, there’s a gated entrance, a red table adorned with flowers, and a story collectible (Gardener’s Recording) nestled in a flower pot.

Unlock the barred gate using a Lucky Key discovered earlier to access the room. Upon entering, seize two small packs from a shelf – totaling 200$. Proceed down the plant-filled corridor to encounter another locked door. Utilize the second Lucky Key collectible to open it. Within this room, acquire a Cassette Collectible titled “Cieszyn’s Venice,” alongside a package valued at 700$.
