Scene Progression — The Incident at Galley House
Unlock order and act gates for memory scenes without revealing puzzle answers.
Progression Philosophy
Scenes unlock when notebook milestones and prior scene inspections complete hidden flags. The memory machine never hides codes silently — locked entries show prerequisites as blurred icons.
Act Gate Requirements (Summary)
- Act 1 → 2: Three timeline confirmations (Victims 11–9), manor map opened, tutorial complete.
- Act 2 → 3: Six timeline slots, curse observation #1, all BI CHARS=3 names confirmed.
- Act 3 → 4: Nine timeline slots, MA key chain logged, OS star chart hotspot.
- Finale: All eleven timeline slots + final curse rule trio.
Optional vs Required Scenes
Roughly 85% of scenes are mandatory for credits. Optional lore scenes cluster in LI, HE, and late WI. They affect epilogue text and achievements but not act dials. Track optional entries in 100 percent.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I unlock scenes out of order within an act?
Yes, within act boundaries. Some mid-act scenes require a sibling code inspected first.
What does "?" on a code mean?
Partial unlock — inspect listed prerequisite scenes for new hotspots.
Do deaths unlock scenes automatically?
Timeline confirmations unlock related codes, not deaths themselves.
