Walkthrough

1
After descending the sheet rope, inspect the storage room. Both characters must hold the prompted button to lift the floor grate. Leo drops down first.
2
As Vincent, find the flashlight on the shelves to the left, marked with "Grab Flashlight."
3
Drop down to the waterworks. Leo needs to find a valve while Vincent uses the flashlight.
4
Locate the yellow valve near a large pipe. Vincent shines the light on it, and Leo rotates it using the prompted button to drain the water.
5
Find the second valve. As Vincent, go left to the end of the walkway and shine the light on the valve near the wall.
6
To reach it as Leo: drop into the water, go under the opening to the right, and hop over the ledge. Follow the path to the valve.
7
Once Leo rotates the second valve, the water flow stops.
8
Transfer the flashlight from Vincent to Leo. As Leo, backtrack from the valve, turn left twice, and follow the corridor to the barred window. Both characters should be at a yellow-marked barred window.
9
With Leo, walk down the corridor, squeeze past pipes, and follow the tunnel to a door.
10
As Vincent, backtrack to the same door. Leo interacts with the door, finds a rock, and breaks the lock by pressing the prompted button three times.
11
Venture to the right of the door to find a double door. Both Leo and Vincent must run into it simultaneously to break it open. Communicate with your partner for this part (e.g., "3, 2, 1, go!").
12
In the new dark room, Leo leads with the flashlight. Follow the linear tunnels to a lit area with bars above.
13
At a curved piece of sheet metal, both Leo and Vincent must interact with it to pry it open.
14
You will reach the bottom of a long shaft. To climb, both characters must stand with their backs against each other and climb using their legs.
15
Coordinate button presses with a swinging dot prompt. Press the button when the dot is in the yellow (bottom) part of the circle.
16
Maintain an even height; if one character gets too far ahead, the lower character must press the button to re-synchronize. Take your time and communicate with your partner.
17
Climb to the top of the shaft.

Tips

Communication with your partner is crucial for coordinated actions like breaking doors and climbing the shaft.
When climbing the shaft, ensure both characters maintain an even height to avoid falling.
