Café Choice:

  • If you answered TRUE to "I make friends easily," the Good Old Days bar will be open.
  • If you answered FALSE to "I make friends easily," the 52 Diner will be open.
  • The 52 Diner is the ideal choice as you will meet a recurring character there.

Inside 52 Diner:

  1. A cutscene will play, introducing Cybil Bennet.
  2. After Cybil leaves, press O to bring up your phone.
  3. You can optionally go into your Phonebook and try ringing Home. You will hear static and the call will hang up.
  4. Go behind the counter and open the cupboards.
  5. Collect your first memento: "A Winter Beacon".
  6. Examine the cardboard cut-out next to the door. If it depicts a half-naked woman, you are headed towards the Sleaze & Sirens ending. If it's a man, you are headed towards other endings.

Tips
  • You may notice the shadow of a little girl on a swing. Ignore it, as there is nothing you can do about it at this point.
  • The choice of which café is open depends on your answers in previous therapy sessions.
  • The appearance of Cybil Bennet and the theme of the Good Old Days pub can indicate which ending you are working towards.
  • Collecting mementos is optional.
