Roottrees are Dead.
Investigate the files on an old computer that

what did the agent find out that lead to their
death?

mystery as you piece together the grand
puzzle.

House!
Type Help is now getting a remaster!

Start the game in an incognito tab, then
import the save file you get back to the
normal.

so yeah I'm a tad lost i did see there's 98
files in total and I've only got 93 of them and
from what I can tell I have every section from
1-26 filled with everyone that should have
been alive at that time I'm mostly just hoping
it isn't anything wintercote wise cause I
haven't been able to find anything bout it
even though it was mentioned 3 times in

the perfect way to try out the genre. Really
fun and interesting!

Try typing, for example, "name 1 John"

I LOVE this game so far! The story and
puzzles are incredibly clever and engaging.
Unfortunately I think I'm missing something
extremely obvious and I'm having trouble
figuring out what I'm supposed to do next. I
tried the walkthrough guide, but all it said
was:
• The inbox brief recommended that you
search for a few files by name.
• 01-QU-1-11
I'm missing a few files that I know exist, but
at this point I'm attempting to brute-force the
puzzle. I know, roughly, where a few people
were or what areas I might be able to find
them in, but because I don’t know who else
might’ve been with them at the time any
attempt at typing the XX-XX-XX sequence
ends with “file not found.” As for the
walkthrough clue, I don't know what I'm
supposed to be searching for. Any help is
appreciated!

I struggled with this for a hot minute! The
03 file is a big help for this as it tells us at
the end of the scene where some
characters are going as well as how to
name characters
I found naming the characters helped with
organisation and then i could work out
which characters would be in the 04 file
as (spoiler) the letter at the start of each
file matches locations
Hope this helped a bit more :)

It did a little, I was able to find a file I'd
been missing! But unfortunately I'm
now stuck a little ways past
that. I currently have three of the 07
files, two of the 08 files, one 09, and
one 10. There's one location in
particular I'm trying to find,
(SPOILERS) specifically the room with
the piano and the location of where
Person 3 went during dinner. It's
difficult to ask for specifics when I'm
trying to figure it out on my own, but
I've tried inputting the combinations
that seem like they should work and I'm
not getting anywhere.

Those questions can be answered
by reading part 2 and part 3 of the
dinner, respectively.

Oh, I see! Thank you so, SO
much!! I knew I was missing
something in the dinner
scene, but I think I was
overthinking it lol. As for the
walkthrough, i didn't realize I had
to post ALL the scenes. I thought
it was just the ones that were the
most recently found. Thank you
so much for the help!

someone1065 57 days ago
1) The guide requires the list of all the
scenes you have, as the game is not
exactly linear.
2) Don't try to discover scenes in order.
There's an 01 scene referenced in the
middle of Terror, and an 02 scene the hint
to which is placed all the way in The
Reckoning.

Maybe this would have made things too
easy, but I kept hoping I'd come across a
command like "LABEL [filename] <text>" so
that I could include my file synopses inside
the game itself. Then again—I still would
have needed my external notes for my
character-specific timelines, so it's not like it
would have saved me any effort.
Phenomenal game, regardless!

Is there a way to reorganize my notes (other
than deleting everything, inserting a note and
then re-adding the deleted notes)? Not really
a big deal or anything, but I think it would be
nice (especially when I discover a name
number combination and/or discover a full
name. Then I would like to have them in
numerical order lol).
Reply
HenriM2008 76 days ago (+1)
If there was a way to reorganize notes I
think the dev would've told us in the
game.
On the same note, I wish there was a way
to edit notes because re-writing notes
again and again is driving me crazy.

So, the first major puzzle of the game is
slowing down enough to recognize what
the formatting of the files is. I can't really
hint at it further than to say pull apart the 3
elements and work out what each one is.
This is the first puzzle of the game, and is
more or less the core puzzle throughline
that continues throughout the rest of the
game. Last chance to go back and take
another stab at it before I spell it out, as I
wish fervently that itch comments had
simple spoilers:
The first part is a timestamp. all 01
events happen before 02, which
come before 03, etc.
The second part is a location. Person
11 points Person 1 to the entrance.
ENtrance. EN is the file code for an
event happening at the entrance.
Person 1 got stuck on QUail Lane,
QU.
The third part is a chain of numbers.
Look at the interactions within each
file, and you might notice some
things: Each speaker is assigned a
number. Each number in the file
name corresponds to a speaker. The
chain of numbers is the list of people
that were at that location at that time
code. Persons 1 and 11 were at quail
lane at time code 01, Persons 1, 6, 7,
and 10 were at the entrance at time
code 02.
Now, to put it together. You are given
04-ST-????. You now know it's
asking you to work out who was in
the ST room at time code 04. You can
work that out by reading through the
events you have at time code 03.
Near the end of it, one of the people
invites two others to join them in a
place.

This was a really good game. The pacing of
the puzzle discovery was amazing. Just as
soon as me and my friend figured out one
piece of the puzzle or just about to get a
piece of paper to make notes about people's
names or label stuff, the new commands
were shared with us. And moving from
figuring out which files we're missing to
figuring out the greater mystery was really
fun. We are going to try out the other games
that were inspirations and are really looking
forward to the remaster on steam.
Toward the end, we were crying so also a
very tragic story that we uncovered. Thanks
for making this!

Reading all the encoded comments makes

I loved the game: it has a simple but effective
game play, a well thought out story structure
with just enough twists, and at times it was
genuinely spooky!

I'm pretty sure the guide needs every file

Otherwise it just presumes you haven't
done pretty much anything ( including
opening the inbox), I used it when I had
like two files missing and it was such a
chore to copy-paste everything lol
But! The first scene you mentioned might
be very helpful for where you're at if i
