Close Inspection

Close Inspection is the bathroom keyhole on the second floor. Look through it before you help with the bath — once the scene moves on, the chance is gone.

Light spoilers. This page names rooms, items and characters you meet, but keeps the story beats out of it.

Look through the keyhole of the second-floor bathroom door — before you go in.

Official in-game clue: "You don't need a key to see inside. Who is in the bathroom?"

Where: Day 2 Evening, immediately before Helping with Bathing.

Why it gets missed

Timing. The door is a door, and your instruction is to help — so most players open it and get on with the scene. Once you are inside, the keyhole is behind you and the block has moved on.

The clue is one of the few in this game that tells you plainly what to do. You don't need a key to see inside is a literal instruction; the second sentence is only there to tell you it is worth looking.

What to do

  1. On the second floor, walk up to the bathroom door.
  2. Interact with the keyhole, not the handle.
  3. Then open the door and continue.

The rest of the bathing block

After you go in, there are two more things worth catching: the four bathing tiles — Aleksandra, the bath, the suitcase, the severed hand — which the post-credits secret asks for again hours later, and Cleaning the Windows, which wants the window wiped once Alexandra is already in the bath.
