I've had enough. 90% of the loot, 5/8 shrines, missing one secret.
I finally cracked the archive puzzle once I realized that I simply didn't have enough data on hand, there had to be more clues somewhere. And I was right, there's another readable that gives the other half of the puzzle.
I disabled the robot up there, and when I struck the 'corpse' for a third time I suddenly heard a disembodied woman's voice humming to herself in the room. Where did she come from?
As beautifully and meticiously crafted as this FM is, it hits a couple of bum notes that soured the whole experience a little for me. Overall I still enjoyed myself, and this FM is something you can be proud of Balboa.

Woodsie1,

Using the monocle on the map in the director's office tells you which Halls to visit, and in what order.2.
Using the monocle in each Hall tells you which plaque is important.Thank you for your reply Balboa.
That helped! :D
But I had to run through the rooms 3 times before it opened. Btw in room 1-4, only the correct plaques makes a noise in my version...
Balboa on 9/6/2025 at 17:26
That is correct.
In the Hall of the Grave, all the plaques make noise. but there is a reason for that.
In other rooms, the wrong plaque won't make a sound (but is still wrong). It's also easy for a flaky mouse (like mine) to double click when you don't want it to.

I didn't have the negative experience. But I too have heard that invisible woman la-la-ing to herself in a couple of locations.

I'm not sure I'm facing a bug, but in the realm of death the Gates to the labyrinth garden didn't open, and all three statues have their masks as well as their chalices. Am I missing something ?

I'll never say there is no possibility of a bug, but:
If all three statues have their chalice, did you not make your way into the garden and get, and eat the fruit? The main garden gates won't open until you do so.There is a map of the labyrinth nearby, if that helps.

Yes, there is an issue with sounds spawning in impossible places. It doesn't seem to hurt anything, but it remains an unresolved experience.
