Once you reach the big corridor, the lights will start flickering. You need to be quick and grab alleight fire extinguishersnext to each of the doors.

Secret Corridor
You’ll go through quite a few rooms without anything to do. Honestly, I preferred that to the blood smears you’ll come across on the floor. Move the canisters to jump across and keep going until you reach a dead end.

Walking in the Darkness
Ignore the door that closed in front of you and follow the blood trail to the extinguisher on the left side of the double doors. Ignoring the giantpit with bloodon the walls is a little more difficult. Strife to the left of the edge until youfind planks. Go down the left path to safely get across.
You’ll walk around without puzzles for a while but with increasing fear. Once you get into a room, walkinto the darkness backward.You will see an arrow pointing at the staircase you need to climb.

There’s another chess piece on top of the boxes. Use the sign to get to it, as you’re able to see in the image below.
Enlarge theexit signin the next room to light up an exit above the boxes in the glass room. Don’t pick up a knife, as this isn’t that kind of game, and follow the blood trail. Click on the fire extinguisher before going to the storage room. Go past the shelves to turn on the generator.
Can of Beans
With the lights on, it’s somehow so much worse, but sadly, you can’t turn the generator back off.
You don’t need the can of beans anymore, but I’ll take it with me as comfort. Head through the opposite door towards the elevator. Remember to click on the alarm and the extinguisher before getting into the elevator.
Level 5 - Clone
All of those alarms waking you up is a bit of an overkill, but it introduces us to the clone mechanic. Leave the room and repeat the usual process: alarm, extinguisher, and vending machine. Then, head out into the hallway. Click on the extinguisher next to the green door. Go through the door and pick up another extinguisher around the corner. There is one more in the yellow room.

Cloning Doors
Instead, head the other way to grab one more fire alarm and extinguisher. This green door will also keep cloning, but that works for you as youneed a rampto jump across the wall. Once you are over, you will head into a room with a blue wall. There are no blueprints on the back of it this time, but there is a fire alarm on the right wall.
Digital Alarm Clock
Head through the door and grab the fire alarm and extinguisher from either side of it. Now, since thedigital alarm clocks get cloned, you can use them to create a ramp like I did below. You could probably do it more efficiently, however.
Before heading up, grab one clock to make a ramp to the vents in the previous room and reach a blue chess piece. Don’t forget the alarm and extinguisher next to the exit door up the ramp in the other room.
Apple Clone
Head down the hallways and pull the alarm next to a door. Keep going until you get to the apple room. Once inside, there will be an extinguisher to the left. Pick up the apple and drop it on your head to get the’Son of Man’achievement.
Drop the clone on the apple that’s on the button to move it and unlock the door. I did this accidentally when hitting myself on the head and then placed the original apple back on the button. Themechanics have changed. Grab the fire alarm and head through the door.
You’ll reach another apple room. There are two fire alarms and an extinguisher in this room, so roam around first to find them. Climb up the stairs and grab another fire alarm.Align the button to be right under the apple so it will spawn on the button once you clone it. This will unlock the door behind you.
There is an alarm and an extinguisher before entering the orange room. Grab those and then go to the left of the door to jump onto a platform in the dark. From there, jump onto the door and then ontothe vents. You’ll find a secret chess piece up here.

Level 6 - Dollhouse
Level 6 of Superliminal has us waking up in the same room, but the path to the reception room is now closed. It could be something to do with all of that blood on the floors. Instead, we are heading to theRelaxation room. There’s no way this room will be worse, we are here to relax.
Grab the fire extinguisher outside the doors to the home liminal theatre. There is a secret path to the starry night behind the exit doors to the right. This time, we’llfind a chair. Unfortunately, we don’t get to relax, as we are going to end up on the other side of the locked gate and back in the reception room. Grab the alarm and extinguisher, and brace yourself for some more blood.
Red Carpet Room
You’ll head through the curtain and fall into a room with lots of blue chairs and a red carpet. You’ll see a dollhouse on a table.
Go outside andenlarge the house moreso that you can leave through the exit door and get to the radio room. Grab the fire extinguisher next to the door and a fire alarm on the wall to the right. Then, pick up another extinguisher next to the second radio.

Shrink one of the doorsand put it through the giant keyhole. Then, go through the other door to get out up top. Bring both doors with you. From your vantage point up top, enlarge one of the doors and put it on the floor. It might take a while to fall down, as everything is slower when you are tiny.
Go through thestill small door. You’llget out biggeras the other door is bigger, too. There is a blueprint on the wall. Jump up to the trash can and then click on the blueprint that’s on top of the clock.

In the room with the painted cube, don’t waste your time. You can’t grab it. The stars aren’t the way to go, either. I was trying for so long before accidentally falling into thecrack at the edgeand finding the real exit.
After falling, pick upthe stairs from the tableand drop them down onto the floor. You’re not going up, however. The stairs will break the floor, and you will find the exit at the bottom. There’s an alarm and an extinguisher on both sides of the door. Grab those and go into the elevator.

After getting the turns all right, you’ll get to the pool room.
