This straightforward guide will provide step-by-step instructions to help you escape from the cell in just 7 meters. And if you need some hints, remember that the act of looking will be your greatest asset. Let’s get started!
Escape from the Cell
Street (tutorial):
After finishing our last delivery, we return to the offices to finish our work shift and head home.
To start the tutorial, you need to walk back and forth along the street to activate the different zones. This triggers images that tell you what to do, how, and where with the mouse.
- Perform the action of looking at the tree. Left-click, Magnifying Glass.
- Take the Note from the tree.
- Right-click to open the inventory, and right-click again on the note to examine it. It’s an important mechanic to gather information from your objects.
- Pick up the can from the ground, and then select it from your inventory to use it with the trash can.
- Use the office door to open it and enter.
A new delivery:
- Talk to your co-worker, Normal Girl, to discover that there’s a problem.
- Tell her, “It’s great that the day is finally over.”
- After the conversation, you’ll be able to pick up the package from the counter that’s sticking out a bit.
- Head to the van to carry out our new mission, but we’re not ready to leave just yet.
- Oscar wants to get some duct tape in case he needs to leave a note if there’s no one there to deliver the package.
- Go to the garage, and inside, pick up the metal bar from the floor.
- On the boxes on the shelf, click to pick up and add a duct tape to your inventory.
- Return to the van, but oh no, we’ve lost the keys; we need to find them.
- You’ll find them by looking at the grille. But we can’t reach in to grab them. Let’s try everything we can find.
- Can we ask someone for help?
- Ask Normal Girl, “I have a special life or death question.”
- That’s how we get Normal Girl’s sticky joke, a piece of gum.
- Open the inventory and use the gum with the metal bar.
- Now we can use our metal rod with the grille to retrieve the keys and use the van.
Cell:
Poor Oscar, he’s trapped, let’s get him out. To do this, we’ll have to open that darn door, and if you look at it, you’ll discover it slides sideways, so let’s gather a few items to force it. These actions can be done in a different order if you get stuck and want to try others.
- It seems we have a newer door than the other, which makes me think.
- The old door should be easier to force.
- It seemed like there were few things in the cell, but from top to bottom, I keep discovering more things each time I look.
Book:
- Look at the table.
- Pick up the book, if you get bored, you now have something to read.
- Open your inventory and look at the book, you’ll discover a card being used as a bookmark.
- Examine the cell, any weak points?
- Look through the crack next the door.
- Yes, a bit higher up, we discover a joint.
- Use the card to scrape the joint, revealing a support pillar in the wall.
Shoe:
- It’s soft and comfortable. Is there something delicate that needs a bit of care and attention that concerns us?
- That lamp gives good light in a gloomy, cold place like this.
- Use the shoe with the light case.
- Pick up the case. How does it look? Maybe I can slide it between something.
- There are many old things here.
- Wait, look at the pipes.
- All the sections.
- The upper pipe is a bit loose.
- Use the metal case with the upper pipe to remove it.
Hook:
- If we look at one of the hooks holding the bed, we’ll see that it’s a bit loose and something else.
- Lucky that it will hold Oscar’s weight to sleep.
- We need more weight.
- Click twice to pick up the skull, then use it with the Board.
- The extra weight will break the bed, and we can pick up the hook and pants from the floor.
- Now, I’ve got a hook and a door eager to be opened.
- Use the hook with the lock.
- I know, I’m a bit cruel, and I want to see my victim, Oscar, suffer. His wound won’t heal on its own. Ha ha ha!
- We have no choice but to use the disgusting piece of cloth from the toilet if we don’t want to die.
Sweet Home:
What a nightmare! After this exhausting workday, how awful.
- Poor Max, I’m sleeping, and he hasn’t eaten.
- Where’s the dog food? And more importantly, what has Max been up to while I sleep?
- I need to find the cup to put Max’s food in.
- It’s on the bathroom floor.
- Use the cup on dog feed.
- Use the cup with dog feed with Max’s dish.
- Where’s that voice coming from?
- I go to the kitchen to the window where an animation plays.
The day isn’t over; we can still go somewhere:
- We try to leave the house, but before leaving, Oscar has some needs to take care of and won’t let them go unmet.
- It’s raining, there are dirty dishes, some mess, and a heart to attend to, one that holds his co-worker in high esteem.
Rain:
- Grab the umbrella by the entrance.
Dirty Dishes:
- We pick up the dinner plates from the living room table and look for the right place to put them.
- We use them with the sink.
Mess:
- Max making trouble again.
- We pick up the book from the floor.
My most treasured possession:
- Every home has a place to display or keep memories. Oscar’s is no different than most.
- Let’s go to the kitchen and search.
- In the fridge, we find a photo that we’re going to look at.
New treasure:
- It’s something we don’t want to get wet.
- We got it at the end of our work shift.
- Search your inventory.
- Use Normal Girl’s note with the fridge.
- We’ll stick it with a bit of tape.
Time to leave home and conquer the world.
Return to the cell:
What happened? Let’s get out of here once and for all.
- We’ve got a broken hook stuck in the lock, but we don’t have the strength to pull it out. What can we come up with?
- Tie the pants to the hook, and thanks to the exposed pillar, tie the other end of the pants to it.
- Now we just need to use leverage.
- Use the pipe with the pants.
- We’re out of the cell.
