Act VI - Finale

Click to go towards the mansion.
Watch the TV screen message from Charles.
Enter the house.
Click on Victor and Charles a few times...
Go up the stairs at the right.
Go up the ladder.
Zoom in on the big machine at the center of the screen. The slot looks like it's missing some kind of component.
We need to return to Victor's Cabin at Ravenhearst Manor.
Go all the way back, through the Asylum, and enter Victor's Cabin.
Zoom in on the green toolbox.

Victor's Toolbox Puzzle

Stage 1

Place the three V KEYS in the circular holes around the central grid.

If you're missing a V KEY, here are their locations:

Manor - fireplace in burned out room, after completing COS
Momma's house - inside apple pie in kitchen
Love Tunnel - in the pile of rubble behind the violin player

Notice the Vs scratched into the box at the left of the closeup. Your goal is to turn all the Vs right-side up.

In any order, click the right button 2x, the bottom button 3x, and the left button 2x.

Note: If you need to reset the puzzle at this stage, you can exit the game entirely and then restart it.

Stage 2

Your goal is to move each numbered disc from its current location to any other empty (black) spot on the grid. Sounds easy, but the grid is a bit crowded.

Handicap: The number on each disc indicates how many places it can move (in any direction).

Click on a disc, and available empty spots will light up in blue.

Click the button on the top left to reset the puzzle.

One solution is shown below.

When done correctly, the toolbox opens.
Click to zoom in, then click on the letter from Charles to Victor.
Take the OVERRIDE SWITCH at the lower right.

Return to the Forever Home.
Take the stairs then the ladder upstairs, as before.
Zoom in on the big machine in the middle of the screen.
Place the OVERRIDE SWITCH in its circular spot at the bottom.
Click on the override switch and see that there are three different screens.
Let's go figure out what to do with them.
There are four doors off this central room. Explore them in whatever order you wish.

Rose's Room

Click on Rose's head for a closeup.
Notice that she is deliberately looking to the right and left.
She will blink before starting the sequence. Watch her long enough to decipher the pattern.

Emma's Room

Click on Emma's head for a closeup.
Notice that she is deliberately looking up and down.
She will blink before starting the sequence. Watch her long enough to decipher the pattern.

The Twins' Room

Click on either twin's head for a closeup.
Notice that she is blinking a sequence of numbers, with a long pause in between digits.
Recall that the screen on the big machine in the central room shows that you need a 3-number sequence. Watch her until she blinks 3 numbers.
