Follow this Silent Hill 4: The Room walkthrough to navigate Room 302, investigate disturbances, collect key items like the Red Diary and Apartment Keys, and deal with the Man with the Coat.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After waking up, exit your apartment and head for the front door.
  2. 2
    Investigate the noise from the laundry room.
  3. 3
    Exit the laundry room, check your peephole, and pick up the RED DIARY - MAY 2 at the foot of the door.
  4. 4
    Return to your Apartment World.
  5. 5
    Exit your room quickly to avoid the Ghost and head towards Room 302.
  6. 6
    An apparition of a boy will knock; the room won't open. Place the RED PAPER (obtained from Room 301) under your door. You can return home later to read it.
  7. 7
    Continue down the hallway, past locked rooms 303 and 304, and enter the stairwell.
  8. 8
    In the stairwell, you'll meet a man in a trench coat who offers you the SHABBY DOLL. Decide whether to take it (note: it has no effect in the PC version).
  9. 9
    Continue to the first-floor lobby. Find lockers near the stairs and use LOCKER KEY #106 to open one, revealing love letters.
  10. 10
    Enter the west corridor opposite the lockers.
  11. 11
    Find the "Superintendent's Room" sign next to room 105 and enter using the SUPERINTENDENT'S KEY (from Room 301).
  12. 12
    In the living room, take the APARTMENT KEYS and the RED PAPER and TORN RED PAPER from a box.
  13. 13
    In the back bedroom, find the SUPERINTENDENT'S DIARY (UMBILICAL CORD).
  14. 14
    Leave the Superintendent's Room.
  15. 15
    Head down the hallway and enter Room 106. In the northeast bedroom, find a PORTABLE MEDICAL KIT and a nurse uniform.
  16. 16
    Use the phone in the bedroom to dial the number on the notepad (optional, for lore). This will trigger a Ghost that stalks you throughout the building.
  17. 17
    Exit to the hallway. Room 107 is uninteresting. Return to the lobby.
  18. 18
    Before proceeding, empty your inventory into your apartment's chest, keeping only the APARTMENT KEYS and a weapon (e.g., Rusty Axe).
  19. 19
    Go to Room 302's front door and use the RED PAPER and TORN RED PAPER (and any others you have).
  20. 20
    Use the portal in the lobby to return to Room 302 and read the papers.
Tips
  • The Shabby Doll has no effect in the PC version. Taking it might trigger a haunting effect in other versions, but it can be dealt with later. Leaving it on the steps removes it as a factor.
  • The Apartment Keys allow access to most rooms except 302 and 303 (which requires a separate key).
  • You can delay slipping the Red Papers under 302's door until you find more, but doing it now clarifies your goal of finding 303's key and frees up inventory space.
  • Consider emptying your inventory into your apartment's chest before heading to Room 302's door to manage space.
