ESCAPE
FROM 1829.

Keep moving.
Stay quiet.

Explore the wards, basement and upper rooms. Your current objective offers a direction to explore. If you make no progress for 60 seconds of play, an extra hint appears. Bright gold glows mark notices, keys and staff fittings you can use; the glow clears when you finish with them. Press E to inspect or use them; hold E to inspect wall art and release to return. Your notebook records evidence and deductions, and its map remembers places you explore. Reading pauses the game. Getting outside is only part of the escape. Watch the outdoor patrol and use the pedestrian gate, or find the crowbar beside the water tower stores to open the maintenance wicket. The oil can quiets the pedestrian gate and the water tower hatch. For a view of the escape routes, take the crowbar to the tower hatch in the workshop vestibule, then climb to the lit lookout. The same stairs lead back down. A noisy hatch can draw security into the yard; oil quiets it. Guards investigate nearby gate and tool noises. If caught, you keep your discoveries; keys may be confiscated and can be recovered. Your third capture ends the attempt. You have a five-second head start. The internal layout, characters and escape scenario are fictional.
