Strange Case – Chapter 3 starts with challenging puzzles where you must search for ladder and remove the sewerage cover. Soon, you will interact with a girl with hand on her mouth and upon investigation you will discover that her husband has been gone mad. There are lots of twists and you may be surprised with the outcome. So, follow your path, keep finding hidden objects, and solve puzzles finding the connection between the objects you discovered and surroundings. Below, I’ve written a walkthrough guide to help players understand the basics and how to proceed through the game.
Escape Room: Strange Case – Walkthrough Chapter 3
Your journey begins in a basement. First, tap on the ladder and look inside to discover a sewerage cover. Now head straight to the cover, tap on the buttons in a particular order to unlock it, and make your way out.
Once you leave the sewer line, you’ll come across a girl covering her mouth. She’s clearly shaken — her husband has gone mad and started attacking her. She doesn’t want to hurt him, but she’s scared. You need to help her and figure out what’s going on.
As the dialogue ends, the screen shows two arrows on either side and a green eye button, which you can use to turn off the ability that lets you see hidden things.
