Walktrough for the three levels and their endings
By ietso
This is a guide in which I show how to complete the three levels this game has to offer, and how to get both endings in each of them.

This is my first guide on Steam, and I mostly created this as a test to see how creating guides works. I hope it might help someone.

The child - Start
You start in your room. First you have to walk to the living room/kitchen, here you see your parents fighting. Use E to interact with them before you can continue.

Now you have to choose which of the endings you want to get.
The child - Ending one
For this ending you will have to collect multiple objects in your house.
You need to interact with them once to see some text, and again to pick them up.
You can only carry one at a time, and have to bring them to your parents first before you can pick up another.

Once you've brought all of them to your parents the level is completed.

Photo of the family
You find this one in your parents' bedroom.



Photo album
You find this one in the drawer under the big TV.


Statue
This one is in the closet in your dad's work room (The one you see right away when you leave your own room).


Drawing
The drawing is on the fridge next to your parents.

The child - Ending two
For the other ending you have to interact with the book on the chair, facing the television.



Imagination land

Interacting with the book has brought the child to a new world. You will have to help his dad fix the ladder so he can reach his wife.



To do this you need to collect a few pieces of the ladder. You can only carry one at a time, and have to interact with the ladder to place them. After you have placed them all the level is completed.


This one is right behind your dad.


This one is behind a plant in the corner of the room.


This one is under the chair you found the book in.


This one is covered by a pile of candy in the hallway.




The adult - Both endings
As the adult you spawn in your workplace. It's time to go home.

You just have to walk outside and follow the road, you will find out that it's blocked.
Here you enter the alley to the right.


In here you will find a woman being assaulted by a man. You can choose to help her, or ignore it.


Helping her

Interacting with the people will start a fight between you and the man.

You get to pick between 3 options:

One appears to be defending yourself, the second defending the woman and the third attacking the man.
I haven't done a whole ton of testing, but as far as I've seen it doesn't matter what you choose. You will always end the level after selecting an action a few times.

This is one of the two endings.

Ignoring it

If you choose to ignore the man and woman, you simply walk past them and make your way towards the busstop.



Once you reach it the level is completed.
The old man
The old man just arrives at his destination by bus. He wants to go to the market.

On his way to the market he notices two kids fighting over a toy.



After the man is done commenting on it, you need to interact with the kids.

They will now follow you around. You can decide if you want to teach them something, or just buy them a new toy.
The old man - Ending one
If you want to buy the kids a new toy, you simply walk over to the market and find the following place:

Here you interact with the toy, after which you can pick it up. As the kids have been following you, you only need to turn around and hand it to them. This ends the level.
The old man - Ending two
For this ending the old man will have to teach the kids something.

You will have to walk over to the market and find the hotdog stand

Here you interact with the hotdog, after which you pick it up.

Now you have to walk back to the place the kids were originally standing, and head into an alley next to it.


Here you will find a homeless man.


Hand him the hotdog to complete the level. Seems like the old man has learned the kids something about sharing.

I don't feel like updating it for the nightmare levels, but aren't those pretty obvious? One is a maze and the other two you have to run and not die.
