Story
When the chapter starts, you’ll be back where you left off as yourself at the end of Chapter 4. Continue down the hallway you were going originally as going backward has nothing. You’ll find an area with grey concrete walls with green trim. Going down, you will see a window with your father peaking out to look. Go over to him. He will talk about how he got caught but escaped and that someone was behind all this all along. He will then tell you to grab the radio down to your left. Grab it and go back towards the corner the way you came from. He will now talk over the radio and say there’s a hidden door. The door will open. Go through. Going down the hallway will lead to an open room with an elevator to the right and another room attached to the left. Nothing is in that room so just ignore it. Go to the elevator. James will say he’ll get the elevator going. Once the doors open, walk in. The doors will shut behind you.

You’ll then get to the next floor with lots of winding hallways. Go forward to the first junction. From that first junction, go right, then straight, ignoring the second junction, and follow the hallway. James will tell you to quickly hide. Run down the hall and hide in the locker. The lights will go out and The Smiling Man will fly past. Wait until James says it’s safe before leaving the locker. After a moment, he will get the lights back on. Go to the end of the hall and flick the lever. Make your way back to the elevator the same way you got to the lever. Go in, the doors shut behind you.

This floor is super easy and has no threats. It’s a very simple path with no extra rooms, to just go through the floor and flick the lever then make your way back to the elevator.

The next floor is the tricky one. James will say how there are no cameras and that you’re on your own for this one. Go straight to the first junction. You might hear a static noise. Gregory is wandering around, so keep an ear out for that sound and avoid him at all costs. Go left down the hallway and to the crossroad. Gregory may be around there so be very careful if he sees you, he will chase you. Go left and go to the bookshelf. Squeeze past it and go right at the next junction. Go into the room and go to the back right corner and flick the lever. Alarms will go off. James will ask what happened and if you’re okay. Make your way back to the elevator while still being careful of Gregory. Only get in when he says you need to otherwise it might not work and you’ll have you move out of the elevator and back in.

The elevator will crash and the screen will go black. Once it comes back, you’ll find yourself in a weird area. The hallway is simple with no extra rooms. Follow the hallway. You’ll see a seeming crack in reality and see James back in the control room from the first game from Chapter 3. Walk past it. Rounding that corner, you’ll see a monster quickly hide behind the farther corner. Go down that hallway. You’ll soon see that the wall changed to a blue color. Go to the blue wall with the door and go through. Walk through the hall and go to the dead end. Turn back around and go back. The hall will have changed right around the corner. Go down the hall and into the dark. You’ll see a bit of light to the right of the dark corner, go that way. You will hear a bang and the screen will go black.

When it comes back, you’ll find yourself in a red room with a door to your left with a button. The button doesn’t do anything and the door doesn’t open. Straight ahead is the way you need to go. At the corner you can first see, you will see Capone standing there, seemingly deactivated. Just walk past him. Continue down the hallway. You’ll make it to a spot where there is a way ahead of you and two doorways beside you. Forward is a dead end, to the left is a room with nothing in it. Go right down the stairs. At the base of the stairs, you’ll see your father there. He will talk about how he’s happy you’re okay before you interrupt him to tell him to quiet down because of Capone upstairs. He will then tell you to go through the door beside him. Go in. What you need to do is to look for a small gold key. It only seems to spawn after all the lockers are open. Go through the area and open all the lockers while hiding from Capone as he will have come down for you. Stay out of his line of sight as he will only chase you if he can see you. Look through all the lockers and grab the key once you find it. Run to the end of the area and unlock the door. Go through. Go down the hallway until you reach a junction. Go left as right is a dark hallway. The screen will soon go black.

When the screen comes back, you will find yourself outside. Down to your right is a flashlight. Grab it. Either follow a path or go straight over the hills, either way, make your way to the school in the distance. Go inside and explore. As you explore, you may get jumpscared by The Stalker. He doesn’t attack, just scares you. Shine your flashlight on him and he will go away. Some of the whiteboards on the first floor have lore and one has a four-digit code you need. After that, make your way to the back right of the school, in the cafeteria. Go in the kitchen and out the back door. Go around to the left and find the generator. Turn it on and then head back inside. Go upstairs. On one side in the middle, there should be a single set of double doors. Go in there and interact with the computer. You will get a prompt to go find the charger cord for it in the computer lab. Go back out the room and across the hall. There will be two sets of double doors. Go in either of them. Look for and grab the charging cord and go back to the computer. Interact with the outlet by the computer. Interact with the computer again. It will boot up and display S.F.S.C. After a moment, a keypad will pop up. Input the code you found earlier. Once you do that, go back out of the room and go left. Go down the left stairs and then between them. You’ll see an opening in the ground leading to an underground tunnel. Go down into that tunnel. The screen will fade to black and that will be the end of the chapter.
