   With help from several EG24 posts and Cerikil’s video walkthrough. This is a tricky one.

   A few hints: Show

   The game wants you to see the hint before solving the puzzle, so it can be frustrating with certain puzzles because the hints are a bit redundant
   The number locks can be clicked above or below to turn them, but if you click right on them nothing happens. Specific codes are not in the body of the walkthrough, there’s a separate spoiler for them at the bottom.

   Looking around:
   Show

   Door view:
   On the right is a green door with two handles that will wiggle but not open. On the left wall of the entryway is a code box that wants 5 letter tiles – it already has an M with a mark on one side.
   On the main wall is a sink that needs a code, a 3-digit code in the front of the sink, and a code box that says MONTH on the top with sliders. **NOTE** This code box is very annoying because you have to see ALL the clues before it will open, even if you figure it out early. Turn right.
   Picture view:
   The EARTH picture is wobbly and there is a corner clue you can see by clicking the top right corner. We need 5 corner clues.
   On the floor is a square labelled HONEY and a hole with a bucket. Turn right.
   Suitcase View: there is a suitcase with slots for five pink cards and five blue ones.
   There is also a large plant. On the floor behind the plant, we get our first object: a KNIFE with another corner clue for the picture puzzle. Turn right.
   Shelf view:
   On the right is a shelf with two locked boxes – one needs a key and the other needs a grid code. **NOTE** This box is also very annoying, simply because the grid code is very hard to figure out.
   On the left is a set of drawers. There is a clock on top that wants a time entered. Click on the right side of the clock for a corner clue.
   The top drawer wants a key, and the middle drawer needs a four-digit code. The bottom drawer is open! We get a honey pot! Now we get to start doing things.

   Solving puzzles and doing things
   Show

   Shelf view: Use the knife to cut the strings on the honey pot. Note there is a corner clue on the bottom. Inside the honey pot is a key, but apparently we are too good to stick our hand in the honey jar. But wait! We have a clue about the honey jar. Turn right twice.
   Picture view:
   Put the honey pot where it says HONEY. Uh oh, it sinks into the floor! But the other side rises up and we get a bucket with a number clue and some tongs. Perfect! Now we can get the key out of the honey! But wait, even if I put the bucket back, the honey stays down. What if it’s not heavy enough? Let’s try the sink! Turn left.
   Sink view:
   The clue in the bucket is the clue for the sink. Just put the star at the place where each number is in sequence:
   Starting with the star at the top – go counterclockwise 3 times, back clockwise once, then counterclockwise twice. The water turns on! (Like all other puzzles in this game, you have to actually look at the clue, in this case inside the bucket, before the solution will work).
   Now we can fill our bucket and get our honey pot back. Turn right.
   Picture view: Put the bucket back, retrieve the honey, use the tongs, and get a sticky key. Lucky us, we know how to wash things! Turn left.
   Sink view: The water will just turn on now. Wash the key and turn left again.
   Shelf view: Use the key to open the yellow drawer and get the CD case. On the inside is the word MUSIC and the last corner clue. Now we just need an order. On the outside is the clue for the clock. Use the letter order to work it out.
   Enter this into the clock and get a second key. Use the key on the other box on the shelf and get a file folder with pink cards. Aha! Turn left.
   Suitcase view:
   Press the hint button at the bottom and it will very cryptically tell you “word chain.” I don’t know how you are supposed to figure this out without the hint, but it’s a clue for which order the cards go in the suitcase. Each word should start with the last letter of the previous word (thanks Jack_H). Click the cards in inventory, then click once on the suitcase. The words pop up on the right, and you can drag and drop them to their spots. If you get the right order, it makes a happy noise and lights up some letters when you press the enter button. The lit letters are really numbers upside down but in the same top-down order. Check the envelope again – “no need a sweetener” means you drop the 0 from HONEY for the code. Turn right.
   Shelf view: Enter the code in and get the blue cards. Turn left.
   Suitcase view: Match the blue cards by concept and press enter. You get a Y tile. It has a 5 on the back. Turn left.
   Picture view: Use the order of the words in the suitcase to tell you the order for the corners of the picture puzzle. There’s nothing on the wall, look at the picture on the floor. On the back is a K tile with an 8 on it and a clue for the grid puzzle. I didn’t solve it, I just copied Daily Rant’s solution, but apparently the blanks don’t mean there’s no number there at all, just that it hasn’t been pressed yet, and the dark spots are for boxes you already pressed. You have to press them in order. Make sure you zoom in on the picture, it might get snippy if you don’t. Turn left twice.
   Shelf view: enter the grid code into the box and get the H tile (no number). Turn right.
   Sink view: Time for the dreaded MONTH box. This clue comes from the word order as well – where the letter falls in each word. So M is the first letter in Music, so the tab stays where it is. O is third letter in clock, so click on the third line, etc. Click enter and get an E tile with a 2 on it. Use the numbers on the tiles to spell a word and enter the code into the three-digit code spot on the front of the sink. Get the C tile.
   Time to exit!
   The tiles represent the same words. The extra is a Y so it goes at the end, like the Y in HONEY. Unlocked! But wait…remember way back at the beginning – why does this door have 2 handles and why won’t it open? Look closely at the tiles and see there is a left-right code. Enter it in and you are finally out!
