Sally Face episode 3 walkthrough: Prologue Route
The Prologue introduces two puzzle chains before Sally reaches the school. The puzzles are timed, but pausing gives you room to inspect the clues and plan each input. The camera monster is slower than it first appears, so careful solving is safer than rushing.
Video Highlights:
- The correct shape order for the Scary Door
- The reverse-order telephone input
- The first Missing Page and Premonition locations
Pause during the fast-paced panels puzzle whenever you need to confirm a shape, height, or bar count. A mistake usually costs more time than a short pause.
The Scary Door
Use the visual clues to arrange the shapes by height:
| Position | Shape | Height | Bars |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hexagon | Top | 1 |
| 2 | Triangle | Bottom | 3 |
| 3 | Trapezoid | Top | 1 |
| 4 | Square | Middle | 2 |
The first lever lowers a shape, while the second lever raises it. Match each panel to the order above to unlock the white door and obtain Premonition 1/2.
Swirls and the Telephone
The swirling energy face speaks through numbers. Combine the two text boxes to form:
9687 96753 47 663 63 6269
Read the numbers as phone-keyboard text to reveal the message: “This world is one of many.”
The telephone sets must be entered from right to left:
| Order | Location | Input |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Far right | 6269 |
| 2 | Next set left | 63 |
| 3 | Next set left | 663 |
| 4 | Next set left | 47 |
| 5 | Next set left | 96753 |
| 6 | Final set left | 9687 |
Continue left after entering the final set to collect the book. This adds Missing Pages 1/11 and Premonition 2/2 to the route.
School Puzzles and Early Achievements
The school section combines light exploration with several small item puzzles. Search every room before advancing the story, because some objects support achievements and collectibles that become inconvenient to recover later.
When you find the sticky tack in the Science Lab, keep it in your inventory. Giving it to Ash prevents the Clumpy achievement from being completed during this run.
Health Inspectors
Use this route to collect the early items:
- Talk to Kim.
- Enter Mrs. Packerton’s classroom, room 104, and pick up the paperclip.
- Enter the Science Lab, room 201, and collect the sticky tack.
- Talk to Todd.
- Visit the courtyard and interact with the tree on the left until the tennis ball falls.
- Throw the tennis ball at the window.
- Talk to Larry and inspect Ash’s locker.
- Take Ash’s camera, then complete the second courtyard interaction.
- Photograph the bird in the upper-right tree.
- Give the bird photograph to Kim in the cafeteria.
The bird clue connects to Kim’s interest in feeding birds. After this sequence, enter the boys’ room, pick up the note near the trash can, and speak with the person in the third stall. Choose the dialogue sequence three, two, three, two.
| School objective | Required item or action | Reward or result |
|---|---|---|
| Health Inspectors | Paperclip and sticky tack | Opens the side-object route |
| Bribery 101 | Tennis ball, camera, bird photo | Advances the school sequence |
| Just a Sec... | Note and stall dialogue | Missing Pages 2/11, Atonement |
| Bad Student | Desk code and metal object | Opens the next story stage |
Bad Student
Inspect Mrs. Packerton’s desk and enter the first four digits of pi as the Roman-numeral pattern:
III-I-IV-I
Take the strange metal object. Before continuing, remember the letters revealed by the whiteout clue. Meeting Todd in his room is the major point of no return for the apartment side content.
Apartment Exploration Before the Point of No Return
Complete the apartment tasks before returning to Todd’s room. This is the most efficient time to collect the remaining letters, use the Gearboy, and finish the Clumpy sequence.
After obtaining the Gearboy, visit every listed room in one sweep. Collect each letter immediately, then finish the tea, candy, basement, and Clumpy tasks before resuming the main story.
Check the Mailbox and Sal’s Room
Go right to the mailbox and collect Missing Pages 3/11. Then visit Sal’s room, room 402, and take the Gearboy and teacup. This unlocks several hidden interactions.
Collect the Apartment Letters
Use the Gearboy in room 501, the bathroom in room 504, and room 403. Pick up each revealed letter for Missing Pages 5/11 and 6/11. Visit room 401, speak with Rob, and use the sticky tack on his poster for Clumpy 3/8.
Continue Through the Upper Floors
Use the Gearboy in room 304 and collect the letter for Missing Pages 7/11. Speak with Chug outside room 303 for Clumpy 4/8, then visit Rose in room 102 and use the Gearboy for Missing Pages 8/11.
Finish the Side-Story Tasks
Speak with Addison in room 103 to get tea, visit Todd’s mother in room 202, and give the candy to Chug in room 303. These actions complete Clumpy 5/8, 6/8, and 7/8.
Complete the Basement Activities
Inspect the gift outside Lisa’s room, talk with Lisa twice, and enter Larry’s room in the basement. Interact with the blank canvas for Dead Potato 1/1, then play Clumpy on the television until you reach 1,000 points.
Apartment Password and Gearboy Route
The computer in Dad’s room uses the password 491145. The clue connects Diane’s name to alphabet-number positions. Collect the letter beside the bed afterward for Missing Pages 4/11.
| Location | Interaction | Collection or achievement |
|---|---|---|
| Mailbox | Inspect the mailbox | Missing Pages 3/11 |
| Room 402 | Take Gearboy and teacup | Unlocks Gearboy interactions |
| Dad’s room | Enter 491145 | Collect the nearby letter |
| Room 501 | Use Gearboy, collect letter | Missing Pages 5/11 |
| Room 504 bathroom | Use Gearboy | Hidden interaction |
| Room 403 | Use Gearboy, collect letter | Missing Pages 6/11 |
| Room 304 | Use Gearboy, collect letter | Missing Pages 7/11 |
| Room 102 | Use Gearboy, collect letter | Missing Pages 8/11 |
Clumpy Strategy
Clumpy becomes easier when you control the screen instead of chasing every target. Stay near the upper-left corner and focus on red and green flies. The recharge bar in the upper-left shows when the next attack is ready. Reaching 1,000 points completes Clumpy 8/8.
Gearboy
Use it at hidden supernatural points in apartment rooms, near blood evidence, and during the final Messenger sequence.
Sticky Tack
Keep it for Rob’s poster. Giving it away earlier blocks the Clumpy achievement route.
Missing Pages
Search mailboxes, letters, Gearboy scenes, the cult area, and the final floor stick.
Clumpy
Complete the apartment errands, then score 1,000 points in Larry’s room.
Main Story, Whiteout, and Cult Puzzles
Once the side content is complete, enter Todd’s room in room 202 to resume the main story. This section contains several clue-based puzzles where the surrounding environment provides the needed answers.
Inspect the refrigerator, blood splatter, radio, clock, freezer, and whiteout messages in sequence. Each clue prepares you for the next interaction.
Follow this sequence:
- Give Todd the bologna in the Science Lab.
- Enter Mrs. Packerton’s room and interact with the relevant objects.
- Speak with Larry and inspect the refrigerator.
- Use the Gearboy at the blood splatter near the fridge.
- Set the radio to 104.7. The goat’s ear tag supplies the clue.
- Set the clock to 12:12, matching the number of goat sounds.
- Enter bedroom 1 and use the Gearboy near Mr. Packerton.
- Pull the plug, then enter bedroom 2.
- Open the freezer with I-IV-I-III. Compare the bloodstains with the Morse code paper.
- Align the two whiteout messages. The completed message is backwards:
“You are unique. You are not like the others. You must unbind yourself from this world, Sal.”
Cult Room Route
Enter bedroom 2 and inspect the torn carpet on the right. Use the Gearboy on the light, speak with Todd, and travel left to collect the light bulb. Install it in the nearby lamp and use the Gearboy again.
Continue right past Todd and inspect the chest to collect Missing Pages 9/11. Return left, pull the right lever, pull the left lever twice, and step on the button.
| Puzzle | Solution | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Radio | 104.7 | Opens the next supernatural clue |
| Clock | 12:12 | Advances the room sequence |
| Freezer | I-IV-I-III | Opens bedroom 2’s evidence |
| Whiteout | Align both messages, then read backward | Reveals the story message |
| Cult levers | Right once, left twice | Activates the button route |
Larry Boy, Sally’s Maze, and Final Collectibles
The final section contains two maze routes and a long button sequence. Sound is the main navigation clue: follow the scary wind noises for Larry Boy, then use silence to navigate Sally’s route.
Do not leave the final button puzzle immediately after solving it. Walk right across the buttons, enter the next room, and complete the Gearboy interaction before returning to pull the final lever.
Larry Boy Maze
Enter the doors in this order:
Right door, middle door, left door, then walk left.
For the first button puzzle, step on:
5, 4, 3, 4, 3, 2, 3, 2, 1
Pull the lever, walk right, and exit through the third door.
Back to Sally
Use the silent route:
Middle door, left door, right door
Walk right, step on the ominous button, and pull the lever. Return left and exit through the left door.
The large button puzzle can be solved with the following groups:
| Group | Button sequence |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2, 3, 4, 3, 4, 5 |
| 2 | 4, 3, 2, 4, 3, 4 |
| 3 | 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 3 |
| 4 | 4, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3 |
| 5 | 2, 4, 3, 3, 4, 5 |
| 6 | 4, 3, 2, 3, 2, 1 |
| 7 | 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4 |
| 8 | 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 4 |
| 9 | 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2 |
| 10 | 3, 2, 3, 4, 3, 1 |
After entering the final sequence, do not go through the door right away.
