- Defeat enemies in the Employee Lounge
Enter the Sheriff's Office and head toward the conference room, where you'll have a conversation with Detective Estevez. After learning from Estevez that darkness is nearby, head to the Employee Lounge and defeat the enemies.
- Talk to Detective Estevez
After defeating the enemies, return to the closet and hear Estevez's story. At the end of the conversation, obtain the "Sheriff's Office key" from Detective Estevez.
- Head to the Morgue and talk to Casey
Head to the morgue in the basement and talk to Casey. You can receive a fuse from Casey to restore power on the first floor.
- Insert a fuse into the generator in the back of the morgue
Insert the fuse you received from Casey into the generator in the back of the morgue. Power is restored to the first floor, and Estevez reports that enemies have been released.
- Return to the first floor while defeating enemies
After power is restored to the first floor, three enemies that were released from the holding cells come down to the basement. Use lights, guns, hand flares, and other tools to defeat them all.
- Talk to Estevez at the Front Desk
When you return to the first floor, Estevez, who was in the closet, has moved to the Front Desk. Hear what Estevez has to say at the Front Desk.
- Collect clues in Breaker's room
| Passcode | 723 |
Collect clues in Sheriff Tim Breaker's room. Also, by deriving the passcode "723" for the dial lock based on the clues, you can obtain a Pump-Action Shotgun.
- Talk to Alan in the holding cells
When you head to the holding cells, you'll have a conversation with the Coskela brothers who are incarcerated near the entrance. After the conversation ends, talk to Alan at the very back. When you try to give the Clicker to Alan, an event occurs.
- Activate 3 lighting devices
After the event, Scratch, impersonating Alan, attacks Saga. Since you can't defeat Scratch at this location, activate 3 lighting devices while avoiding Scratch's attacks or holding it back appropriately.
- Talk to Casey and others in Breaker's room
After the battle with Scratch, talk to Estevez in Breaker's room about what comes next. After talking to Estevez, obtain the holding cell key, and a conversation occurs with Casey.
- Hear about Alan from Ilmo
After the conversation with Casey and Estevez, talk to Ilmo, the younger brother of the Coskela brothers on the first floor, about Alan. You can obtain clues about Alan, as well as hear about his brother and the cult.
- Collect clues from the filing room in the holding cells
| Clue ① | Clue ② |
|---|---|
 |  |
Use the holding cell key to collect clues from the filing room in the holding cells. Also, at this timing, it's good to return to the morgue marked as POI on the map and read the "?" document as well.
- Conduct profiling and organize the investigation board
| Deduction Item | Clues to Place |
|---|---|
| Scratch? Wake? | ・Scratch sought the Clicker just like Wake did ・Casey: The thing that attacked Casey had Wake's face. Wake was never there; it was Scratch all along. ・FBC File: The dark entity took the form of Barbara Jagger |
| Where is Wake? | ・Wake has been contacting us from the dark world ・Wake: Trapped in the dark world. |
| Can we still use the Clicker? | FBC File on Light Switch Object Functionality - Clicker |
| How can we save Wake? | FBC File on Cauldron Lake: Gateway to another reality |
As you accumulate profiling, organize the clues on the board and advance your deductions. This will allow you to conduct profiling on Toral. Collect clues from Toral's profiling and continue organizing the board.
- Conversation possible with Ilmo and Casey
As you organize the investigation board and advance your deductions, a new conversation with Ilmo occurs. From this point on, your relationship changes and you can cooperate with Ilmo.
- Obtain clues from Estevez and Toral
| Deduction Item | Clues to Place |
|---|---|
| Can we still use the Clicker? | Estevez: The FBC classified the Clicker as a supernatural object. They believe it has some kind of power. |
| How can we save Wake? | If you just believe in the power of Art's message, anyone can use the Clicker. |
After organizing the investigation board, advancing your deductions, and talking to Estevez, you can obtain new clues. Additionally, Toral's profiling is added, and you can obtain new clues from Toral as well.
- Convey the plan to Casey and Estevez
After completing your deductions about the case, convey the plan to Casey and Estevez. When you convey the plan, a warning appears stating "Please save your progress before going to Cauldron Lake." At this point, select "Currently impossible" with the ○ button and be sure to save.
- Drive to Cauldron Lake
Once you drive to "Cauldron Lake" by car, you won't be able to return from Cauldron Lake. If you haven't finished exploring, load the save data from before talking to Estevez and be sure to complete everything before getting in the car.
