Part 8: Chapter 3-2
![](1-still_life_2_3-107.jpg)
So when we left Paloma, she had just gotten out of a goofy puzzle involving shocking herself with an electric chair. I think thatd be preferable to continuing this game.
Anyway, open up the locker over here.
![](2-still_life_2_3-108.jpg)
Within is an empty spray bottle to go in our collection.
![](3-still_life_2_3-109.jpg)
Left of there and up the stairs. Is is that a pig head? Come on game, youre not even trying to not rip off Saw.

![](5-still_life_2_3-111.jpg)
I suspect it wont be that easy.
![](6-still_life_2_3-112.jpg)
No, no I think you just lack imagination.
![](7-still_life_2_3-113.jpg)
And dialogue. Lets try this one for the 1083rd time.
![](8-palomathumb.jpg)
Bravo, Paloma. A cliche you hadnt thought of yet.
![](9-still_life_2_3-115.jpg)
I hate the dead! I love the living! So it can die! Im very deep!
![](10-still_life_2_3-116.jpg)
Lets ask about the room were in. Why not.
![](11-still_life_2_3-117.jpg)
Aw, there goes my theory that Chuckles is actually Claire out to take vengeance on us all.
![](12-still_life_2_3-118.jpg)
![](13-still_life_2_3-119.jpg)
And the collar shocks us again.
![](14-still_life_2_3-120.jpg)
Yeah, well, I dont know how to do that, game.
![](15-still_life_2_3-121.jpg)
Anyway, the morgue. Well start out by checking this thing here.
![](16-still_life_2_3-122.jpg)
Its a keypad. Unfortunately, the 2324 code from before doesnt work and we dont have any others.
![](17-still_life_2_3-124.jpg)
Cant get into the morgue drawers over here either.
![](18-still_life_2_3-125.jpg)
You dont say.
![](19-still_life_2_3-126.jpg)
A conspicuous shirt over here on the wall.
![](20-still_life_2_3-127.jpg)
and yet you will take everything from fire extinguishers to mattresses.
![](21-still_life_2_3-128.jpg)
I dont like the sound of that.
![](22-still_life_2_3-129.jpg)
Im guessing they serve the purpose of a stupid puzzle.
![](23-still_life_2_3-130.jpg)
Nothing else to be done with that stuff. Run over here.
![](24-still_life_2_3-131.jpg)
Nothing to be done with that either. A little to the left is a blood soaked table.
![](25-still_life_2_3-132.jpg)
![](26-still_life_2_3-133.jpg)
Grab this.
![](27-still_life_2_3-134.jpg)
And a scalpel, too. Id say we have a good chance of stabbing Chuckles in the neck the next time he shows, but Paloma is bad at being clever.
![](28-still_life_2_3-135.jpg)
And heres the door out Chuckles mentioned.
![](29-still_life_2_3-136.jpg)
Curses.
![](30-still_life_2_3-137.jpg)
Not a hell of a lot of way of telling, but now we need to run all the way back downstairs.
![](31-still_life_2_3-138.jpg)
All the way back to the sink in the first room.
![](32-still_life_2_3-139.jpg)
Fill your empty spray bottle at the sink.
![](33-still_life_2_3-140.jpg)
Then combine your powder with the water bottle.
![](34-still_life_2_3-141.jpg)
Which gives us liquid revealer. Now we can find shirtless guys with bad British accents.
![](35-still_life_2_3-142.jpg)
I try using the mirror and the scalpel to get rid of the collar, but nothing doing.
![](36-still_life_2_3-143.jpg)
All the way back upstairs, to the weird tiles.
![](37-still_life_2_3-144.jpg)
Use your liquid revealer on those.
![](38-still_life_2_3-145.jpg)
Uh, lets not and say I did?
![](39-still_life_2_3-146.jpg)
![](40-still_life_2_3-147.jpg)
![](41-still_life_2_3-148.jpg)
Oh for fucks sake. We have a time limit again, and this one isnt as forgiving as the last one. T-minus about three minutes this time and Paloma croaks.
![](42-still_life_2_3-149.jpg)
To start, run back over to the control panel.
![](43-still_life_2_3-150.jpg)
Remember those voicemail messages? Remember the dates on them? No? Me either. Thats why I died a lot here.
![](44-still_life_2_3-151.jpg)
Anyway, put the dates in order. 1022 opens the first drawer, 0229 the second, 0113 the third. Run over to them.
![](45-still_life_2_3-153.jpg)
![](46-still_life_2_3-154.jpg)
The second drawer
![](47-still_life_2_3-156.jpg)
![](48-still_life_2_3-157.jpg)
And the third.
![](49-still_life_2_3-158.jpg)
Jog back over to the tiles. Hit P, hit E, hit H.
![](50-still_life_2_3-159.jpg)
That gets rid of the timer. Yay. Lets just head out now.
![](51-still_life_2_3-160.jpg)
![](52-still_life_2_3-161.jpg)
The collar shocks Paloma yet again.
![](53-still_life_2_3-162.jpg)
and she fucking dies. Hope you saved, although to be fair, you should have after the stupid gas trap puzzle.
![](54-still_life_2_3-163.jpg)
The answer is all the way back downstairs again, at the circuit box.
![](55-still_life_2_3-164.jpg)
And this iron thread, which I did not see the other times the game made me come here.
![](56-still_life_2_3-165.jpg)
And back over to the mirror again.
![](57-still_life_2_3-166.jpg)
Poking the holes here fills up one of the red bars above it. You want 2324, as per the graffiti off to the left.
![](58-still_life_2_3-167.jpg)
Like so. Paloma yoinks off the collar and ditches it.
![](59-still_life_2_3-168.jpg)
Now with our collar gone, back upstairs again.
![](60-still_life_2_3-169.jpg)
And well try the door again.
![](61-still_life_2_3-170.jpg)
You dont say.
![](62-still_life_2_3-171.jpg)
![](63-still_life_2_3-172.jpg)
Incidentally, the door opens up on a fucking brick wall. The game does point out this vent over here, though.
![](64-still_life_2_3-173.jpg)
Well, I have just the answer for that.
![](65-still_life_2_3-174.jpg)
Smash that bastard with the fire extinguisher of death!
![](66-still_life_2_3-175.jpg)
With that settled, climb on in.
![](67-still_life_2_3-176.jpg)
![](68-still_life_2_3-177.jpg)
![](69-still_life_2_3-178.jpg)
Back downstairs *again*.
![](70-still_life_2_3-179.jpg)
To the circuit box *again*.
![](71-still_life_2_3-181.jpg)
Unscrew the light bulb. Maybe Paloma can hold it in her mouth like Uncle Fester.
![](72-still_life_2_3-182.jpg)
Back upstairs. Sigh.
![](73-still_life_2_3-183.jpg)
![](74-still_life_2_3-184.jpg)
Screw the light bulb in the hole up here.
![](75-still_life_2_3-185.jpg)
![](76-still_life_2_3-186.jpg)
Use your scalpel to do that, since this game doesnt believe in screwdrivers.
![](77-still_life_2_3-187.jpg)
![](78-still_life_2_3-188.jpg)
Use the iron thread on the bottom most fuse.
![](79-still_life_2_3-189.jpg)
And the scalpel on the topmost fuse.
![](80-still_life_2_3-190.jpg)
Upstairs we go, to a dark kitchen.
![](81-still_life_2_3-192.jpg)
Door over here is locked.
![](82-still_life_2_3-193.jpg)
Only other thing of note is the paper here.
![](83-still_life_2_3-194.jpg)
Way to look for clues to your location, Paloma. Youre the best.
![](84-still_life_2_3-195.jpg)
One more door. Well just try that one.
![](85-still_life_2_3-196.jpg)
Oh hey, it takes us outside.
![](86-still_life_2_3-197.jpg)
![](87-still_life_2_3-198.jpg)
![](88-still_life_2_3-199.jpg)
![](89-still_life_2_3-200.jpg)
![](90-still_life_2_3-201.jpg)
That flash indicates a boom.
![](91-still_life_2_3-202.jpg)
