To proceed, access the inventory, retrieve the coin, and use it to unlock the vent cover next to the door. Then, Carter should carefully leave the room and enter the adjacent corridor (2).

Look just above the bar entrance and grab the ITEM: oars.

All residents are in the temple. At the temple, take the exit to the north, so you get to the northern park (4).
NORTHERN PARK (4)
Sophie didn’t have to visit this area previously. It’s a small park with trees and a sign that says: No Littering On the Coast. Look for a rag on the floor next to a tree. It’s an ITEM: Stained Hankerchief. Head back to the boat.
THE BEACH (1)
Interact with the boat first, so you see the hole. Now open the inventory, pick up the handkerchief, and use it on the hole. Do the same now with the cork stopper to plug the hole. Then do the same with the oars, aiming at the plugged hole.
THE OTHER BEACH (5)
Sophie arrived on the other beach. There is only one way to go: Into a cave (6).
THE CAVE (6)
In the first section of the cave, look at the symbols and the drawings. There are also creepy footprints on the floor. It is difficult to draw a floor plan for the cave. Walk straight ahead. In this area, you will find the symbol with the eye in the center. Here, straight ahead, is a passage that takes you to a door.
There is a door on the other side. When you interact with it, you are automatically sent to the amulet and another door:
Use the Statue in your inventory on the amulet. Then, use the key in your inventory on the door near the statuette.
CHAPTER 11: CHRISTOPHER BLACK

In this stinky alley, look for the blue door. You can use the Glass Pipette with Acid on this door lock. Now you can enter the location.

In the bar, there is a button between the bottles. Push it. Now you can go deeper into the bar, straight ahead from the entrance.
THE CENTER OF THE BAR (4)
At the back of the bar, there is another path you can take further in.

A book on the table with a laptop
A Report about Manson
A Report about Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria
A Report about Chernobyl
Look on the floor. It will sound weird when interacting with it. Open your inventory and hit the floor with the hammer. This will reveal a puzzle that requires five letters.
Hit the Party Mode Button and go back to the bar.

Also, interact with the puzzle on the floor again to get Housekeys!
This will finish this chapter!
CHAPTER 12: CHRISTOPHER BLACK
The story continues with Christopher Black and the Truth seems to be very close. He finds himself in the same forest as Carter before.
I’m going to reuse the Cult House floor plan from Chapter 9 here. This time, Christoper only needs to go to three rooms:
1 – Forest and House
2 – Lounge
4 – Secret Room
FOREST AND HOUSE (1)
Walk in the only direction possible.
There is no doorbell or security system to talk to at this time. The door is locked. Open the inventory and use the “House Keys of Society” with the door. Then enter the house.
Inside, there is the same corridor with two doors. The right door is the kitchen, and the left door is the Lounge.
THE LOUNGE (2)
In the lounge, the secret bookshelf entrance is open and you can enter the secret room.
SECRET ROOM (4)
In the secret room behind the bookshelf, just take a document with various mugshots from the bench and the “5 years ago” back story starts, how Christoper met Carter.
CHAPTER 13: THE NAMELESS CITY
James and Carter are the main protagonists in this chapter.
You won’t need an overview map for this. Just follow the green glow. You’re supposed to get lost.
THE LOST CITY
The chapter starts in the middle of nowhere somewhere in the country, playing Carter. There is a “The Nameless City” sign that you can interact with. This will give you Notes: Inscription. Continue to walk towards the ruined church.
In the ruins, it does not matter, where you go. Walk around, following the green glow like in the screenshot below, until you meet James.
THE PORTAL
After the cutscene, you are at the Portal, playing as Carter. Each of the pillars has an engraving for one of the “Pieces of the Door” in Carter’s inventory. Use the “Pieces of the Door” on the round cave in the center of the portal, where the eye is.
In the next step, the man with the mask arrives. Look at them, after the cutscene, IDH-YAA will be behind you.
