Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Cross the bridge and enter the Labyrinth. Climb two flights of stairs to a door on the right.
  2. 2
    Follow the path to three doors; enter the off-color door on the left.
  3. 3
    Proceed through the door until you encounter insects and a Creeper.
  4. 4
    Navigate the zigzag area, transitioning from a normal floor to a grated floor.
  5. 5
    At a T-junction, head left to a dead end. Collect the box of ammo from the dresser.
  6. 6
    Head in the opposite direction, following the path to a door leading to a larger room with a save point and a suspended cage.
  7. 7
    Head east. Go through a hallway, noting an inaccessible door on the left and a stand with rifle rounds in the drop drawer opposite.
  8. 8
    Continue until a door on the right. Enter, finding a grated floor and insects. Watch for a Mandarin underneath.
  9. 9
    A path to the left is a dead end for now. Continue straight to a second path on the left.
  10. 10
    Follow this path to a T-junction. Head left around the corner to a doorway.
  11. 11
    Enter the room. A Lying Figure is present around the corner.
  12. 12
    To the right of the Lying Figure is a desk. Opposite the dresser are two paths.
  13. 13
    The left path has a Mannequin and a syringe in a box on a shelf.
  14. 14
    The right path has a Mannequin at the end. When you approach the shelf with a glass door to get the box of ammo, the Mannequin will emerge.
  15. 15
    Get the box of ammo, turn right to a cart. Interact with the cart and move it right until a window is out of reach.
  16. 16
    Place the cart near the window and enter the next room.
  17. 17
    Head to the kitchen area. Find rifle shells on the counter to the right of the stove.
  18. 18
    Interact with the refrigerator for a brief cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) to obtain Lighter Gas.
  19. 19
    Exit the kitchen to the living room. Go through the door to the right of the television.
  20. 20
    In the hallway, find a health drink on a shelf at the end.
  21. 21
    Return to the door you exited. Between the door and the health drink shelf is a wardrobe. Push it aside to reveal a crawl space.
  22. 22
    Use the crawl space to re-enter the maze area. Head straight until the only turn to the right. Watch for Mandarins.
  23. 23
    Follow the path back to the area with the suspended cage.
  24. 24
    Head south. At a fork, take the right path.
  25. 25

  26. 26
    Through the door, go to the dresser on the right and get the health drink in the upper drawer.
  27. 27
    Head to the door opposite where you entered. Go to the bookshelf on the left, watch out for a Mannequin.
  28. 28
    After dealing with the Mannequin, head right from the bookshelf to a stand with a box of shotgun shells.
  29. 29
    Grab the shotgun shells and head through the hole in the left wall.

  31. 31
    Go to the doorway left of where you entered and take a right. Go through another door.

  37. 37
    Inside the cubicle, inspect the drawer under the computer to find the Iron Key.

    Go through the door and take a left. Reach a door on the right that requires the Iron Key. Unlock it to enter a bathroom.
  41. 41
    To the right of the toilet is a hole in the wall. Enter it and go to the end of the room.
  42. 42
    Find a valve on the left. Turn it as far as possible.
