Chapter 21 questions
The credits, attic scene, and illustration prompt
- Does reaching the credits confirm the save is marked complete?
- The recorded playthrough reaches the credits and Giuseppe's post-credit attic scene, then stops at the illustration prompt. The next menu or save-completion state was not verified because neither option was selected.
- Does 'Don't unlock (Keep Playing)' cost blood?
- The screen shows it as the alternative to 'Unlock for 100'. It was displayed but not selected in this run, so the resulting scene or menu state is unverified. The 100-blood price belongs to the paid illustration option.

The optional illustration costs 100 blood currency

Minigame Help
Delete the security-camera files
Remove all five SecurityCam_... files from Tariq's desktop.
Controls
Drag each camera file into Full Bin. The file grid reflows after each removal, so retarget the remaining files after every drag.
Exact sequence
- 01Locate the five filenames beginning with SecurityCam_.
- 02Drag one file at a time into Full Bin.
- 03Recheck the desktop after each move because the remaining icons shift position.
- 04Continue until all five files are gone.
Success signal
Nova says âThere, done.â and the scene continues.
If it fails
If an icon misses the bin, drag that remaining file again from its current position.
Easy to miss
Do not reuse the first icon's coordinates after the grid has reflowed.
Evidence
All five files were removed in the recorded browser run and the success line appeared.
Rock, Paper, Scissors

Controls
Choose Rock, Paper, or Scissors, then press Enter to lock the move. A tie starts another round.
Exact sequence
- 01Select a hand icon from the lower-left choices.
- 02Press Enter to submit the move.

Success signal

If it fails
On a tie, play another round. No separate retry control was needed in the recorded run.

Story Guide
Opening memory
01Moon Presentation and the Basketball Dream
The opening family memory centers on a school presentation about the Moon. Nova says she plans to become a professional basketball player; her parents laugh warmly, then the scene returns to the present-day story.
The card uses the placeholder title [PLAYER NAME]. On this save, the Chapter 21 tile displays Nova.
Campus
02Abel and the Security-Camera Files
Abel takes Nova to Tariq's office and asks her to remove the security-camera files. The desktop task has five SecurityCam_... icons; dragging all five into Full Bin produces the visible success line âThere, done.â The icons shift after each removal.
Abel is impressed that Nova can program. The two leave the office and meet Cain and Florian for dinner.
Restaurant
03Rock, Paper, Scissors and Old Ambitions
The group talks about their families and childhood ambitions. A Rock, Paper, Scissors screen interrupts the conversation: Rock ties in the first round, then Nova's Paper selection is followed by Florian saying âWell played.â The screen does not reveal the other moves or a score.
Florian says he wanted to be a poet and now works in R&D. Abel jokes that he wanted to be a Pokémon trainer. Cain says he inherited his family businesses and wanted a life that belonged to him. Nova's selected answer is to explain her dream of becoming a basketball player like LeBron James; the memory shows her missing a basket and receiving praise from a teacher for her athleticism.
Past relationship
04Marcus's Photos and the Messages
Nova recounts Marcus asking for a second chance at her workplace. Abel choked him; Marcus dropped photographs that ended up with Helen and then Nova. The restaurant group questions why Marcus would use the photos this way.
After Nova mentions Marcus, a string of messages from him denies what happened, calls her paranoid and overwhelming, and blames her distrust. Nova's narration considers apologizing; the flashback then shows Marcus and Clara together. The chapter frames this as a painful contradiction between his messages and what Nova saw.
School memory
05Emily's Invitation and José's Aside
A school memory revisits Nova's old friendships and her relationship with Clara. JosĂ© asks to join Nova and Emily for a pumpkin-spice latte. Nova chooses to ask Emily what she wants; Emily declines. JosĂ© mutters an insult, then claims he said âfight moreâ when Emily asks what he said.
Joana later texts that Clara told them everything, and the group of friends pulls away from Nova. The chat displays â(Jane blocked you.)â even though the visible conversation is with Joana, a name mismatch in the game text.
Restaurant
06Cassandra, Tariq, and the Dinner
Cassandra and Tariq join the restaurant scene. Tariq orders wine and jokes with the waiter about choosing the fourth-best bottle after hearing that the top bottle costs about $800. The user completed the wine-service screen; after it, Tariq swirls the glass and Cassandra describes its citrus and balsamic notes.
The game asks whether the group wants dessert, but no interactive choice appeared in this run: Abel answers yes and the group orders automatically. Nova recognizes the dessert as her mother's favorite, says she cannot remember the recipe or her mother's face clearly, and later says her mother's version was better. The conversation leads into the final reveal.
Ending
07Sylvia, Abel, and the Family Connection
Nova spots a woman outside the restaurant and runs after her. The woman is Sylvia, whom Nova identifies as her mother, but Sylvia does not recognize Nova and asks whether they know each other. She recognizes Abel; she says she last saw him at a funeral, and Abel says she was an old friend of his mother.
After Sylvia leaves, Nova asks why Sylvia recognized Abel but not her. Abel says he is confused too and repeats that Sylvia was an old friend of his mother. He asks, âWhat kind of mother forgets her own daughter?â and stays with Nova as the others leave. On the walk home, she first refuses his tissue, then accepts it and calms down at sunset. The reason Sylvia does not remember Nova remains unresolved; this scene is not a player choice.
After credits
08Giuseppe's Attic and the Illustration Prompt
After the credits, Giuseppe thanks the young master for giving him space and says the attic is in poor condition but will be ready in a couple of weeks. He describes old boxes and Montgomery family belongings; a box marked ABEL is visible in the attic.
The game then asks whether to unlock the Chapter 21 illustration. The displayed options are Unlock for 100 blood currency and Don't unlock (Keep Playing). The paid illustration was not opened and the free continuation was not selected in this recording.
Chapter Tips
- After moving a camera file, find the remaining icons again because the desktop grid shifts.
- Press Enter after choosing a Rock, Paper, or Scissors hand; repeat after a tie.
- Hold the wine button and release when the pour is aimed toward the glass; exact coordinates and timing were not recorded.
