Timesville Lost Key puzzle

This Timesville secret combines the fishing collection with the completed two-rooms puzzle. Do it before finishing the Chameleon route, because that progression can close access to the key route.

Get the Lost Key

1. Take the metal detector around Timesville and locate the Fishing Paper.
2. Catch all 18 unique fish across Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Night 1, Night 2, and Night 3.
3. Inspect the completed Fishing Paper in your inventory.
4. Collect the Lost Key it reveals.

If the paper is not complete, use the separate all-fish checklist and finish the missing clock state first.

Turn the window into a lock

1. Complete the normal Timesville two-rooms puzzle.
2. Return to the smaller version of the room.
3. Wait without leaving. A reversed message eventually points you toward windowed mode.
4. Press Alt+Enter, or change the display setting to windowed mode.
5. Leave and re-enter the smaller room if the view does not update immediately.
6. The black window should now appear as a large lock.
7. Select the Lost Key and use it on that lock.

The key is consumed when the hidden route opens. That is the completion point for this puzzle page; the sequence beyond the lock is a separate secret route.

If the lock does not appear

• Confirm that the normal room has already accepted the two-rooms solution.
• Wait long enough in the smaller room for the reversed message to play.
• Switch display modes before re-entering the room.
• Confirm that you inspected the finished Fishing Paper and actually received the Lost Key.

This is a paid full-release secret, not part of the standalone demo.
