The Eastern outskirts of Yieun Island
Follow the path until you see the Hospital. The main entrance is closed so you’ll need to head left and enter the building through the doors on that side.
Hospital 1F Main Building
Objective: Find all the remains of her body

On the right you’ll pass a Mailbox wall, one containing a note.

📝Island History Note
This Island is said to be the gate to the sea road that leads to the underworld for the departed ancestors.
According to the shaman, during the lunar eclipse, the grim reapers would come ashore and abduct people for 10 days. Interestingly, for centuries this place was frequently invaded by barbarians and many people were killed. About a dozen years ago, a large hospital was built due to the fact that the island was close to Ganghwa Island and Seoul. This is that Hospital.



Continue on past the elevators. The first door on the left is locked. You can check out the two bathrooms if you like but you won’t find anything of use there. Opposite the men’s bathroom is a notice board, something is pinned to it.

📝Notice - Reporting Lost Property
A hand Mirror, Comb, Lipstick, Watch(The second hand is said to give off a loud noise), Jade Ring (whereabouts is unknown ever since it was initially found in a chapel).

These are the items you will need to obtain throughout the game and there is an achievement for each one.

Once in the Foyer, you’ll probably first be drawn to the glowing red scribbles on the nearby bench. Check out the note.

📝Nurse’s Note
Hey little kid, you shouldn’t be scribbling on the bathroom mirror.

As you continue you should get the hint to search through the “hospital president's room”.

So press tab and head towards H1 - Director’s Office, ignoring the other rooms for now unless your flashlight has run out and you’re in need of batteries, in which case, feel free to poke your head around a few doors.

When you enter the Director’s office, the door should slam firmly shut behind you.
As you near the desk on the other side of the room, you’ll get some voice lines.

🔊 Shaman’s Verbal warning
Director Lee. Listen carefully. If you do nothing in neglect, even you will face death. I will craft 30 paper charms in 10 days, so during that time, evacuate all patients and lock down this place. Next week comes the lunar eclipse. You must not be in the hospital that day. Remember this!

Pick up the note from the desk

📝Shaman’s Written Warning
I have sent you some paper charms to fend off the angry spirits. Place the paper charms on locations where the earth energy is corrupt after midnight, and set up a candelabrum for daily rituals. The area has always been inauspicious, so do not let people in at night. Those who disturb this place will become cursed. - Shaman Shin-ki.

Take the lighter from the center table and turn your attention to the padlocked cupboard, safe and brown chest of drawers. The bottom drawer should contain a note.

📝 Lim Deok-hyeon, General Affairs Note
Director not you too?
Why are you doing this? Bringing in a shaman to the hospital? Would you rather that we advertise to the whole community that we will be having a shamanistic ritual here?
Please, don’t do this. Remember that this is a hospital, where patients are saved by doctors.


The first thing we need to do is unlock the cupboard.

Examine the display cases at the other end of the wall. Open them up and interact with the objects inside them. We’re looking for 3 numbers. The first can be found on the back of the picture of the elder gentleman. Then the next two numbers can be found on the base of the gold and silver trophies. Take the candlestick from the middle cabinet and head back over to the locked cupboard. Enter the code and inside you’ll find a key labelled Ward A and a camcorder. The camcorder can be operated by pressing F. Don’t leave it running as the battery wears down quickly. The door will now be open, so head on out and check out the surrounding rooms if you haven’t already done so.

The unlabelled office room contains 3 notes as well as batteries.

📝 A/S (Repair) order
Dropped the camcorder once while in use. Opaque afterimages have appeared on the liquid display. Afterwards, the battery depletes quickly and the screen fizzles severely when the battery is low. Requesting repair after service from your company. Charged to the customer due to customer negligence.

📝 Lost property Note
The girl that was in room 215 last month is desperately looking for her belongings. Would you help her find them?
The items are a lipstick, a watch, two jade rings, and…oh right! And a hair brush, but I found the brush near the patient rooms in building C! I left it below the lost-and-found bin by the pharmacy on the second floor. She said she can’t lose them because they were given by her parents. She’s been crying every night about it. If anything is seen in the lost-and-found bin or on the surveillance camera, please check for those items.


Head back towards the foyer, grab the items from the convenience store and use the key to open up the first locked door we came across back by the toilets. Now Ward A is fully explored and accessible, go back towards the foyer and open up the doors to Ward B. Go straight on through all the double doors and all the way to the back of the cafeteria. You’ll trigger some more voice lines.

🔊I smell something pungent
Why does this place smell like formalin?
Just how badly do you manage this facility that the kitchen smells like this?
Manager Lim! Come here! Why does the kitchen smell like formalin?
Don’t you know formalin is toxic?


From here whip out the camera and follow the footprints. They should first lead you to a toilet cubicle, there is a red key perched on the left labeled Pharmacy. Take it. Head on over to the pharmacy on your map, unlock the door and use the camcorder again. You’ll notice a set of footprints runs between the pharmacy and the room opposite it. Enter the shower room and collect the frog from the tub. Go back into the pharmacy and place the frog ornament on the scale. Remember the numbers that come up and head back towards the director’s Office. This is our code for the safe. Don’t be alarmed by the heavy breathing you can hear at this point. Just proceed.

Once you make it back to the directors office and open the safe, inside you’ll find the 1/5 “remains” and a key labelled Funeral.
Funeral Home - Basement
We want to make our way down to the basement, the stairs are just before the cafeteria. Unlock the door at the bottom of the stairs and take a left. Head into the room opposite the case of urns and head on over to the window because it’s pretty hard to ignore.

The door here is locked so we’ll have to go back out into the corridor, but grab the candles and note on the bench before you do.

📝 Mortician’s Note
Typically, we write what we call a prayer for someone who has passed away. The deceased has been transferred to a mortuary and a written prayer has been placed on the door. Let’s all pay tribute even if it doesn’t conform to the convention. - Seo-samrok

Head into the other Mortuary door. You’ll notice one of the doors has an illustration on it. I’m assuming this is the “prayer” mentioned in the note. Hopefully you’ve been collecting the candles up to this point because we’re going to need them for this next part.

There are 7 candelabras around the room. Place a candle stick on each one to open the door.

Collect the remains (2/5) and the key labeled ward B(2f)
Hospital Ward B (2F)
As you probably guessed. Head on up to the second floor. The game will prompt you to turn the camcorder on. Look outside the left window with it for a surprise.

If you take the door on the right, the first thing you’ll notice is the giant glowing lady statue. If you have bell rattles, you can give her one to hold and she’ll clear the area of spirits for a short time.

Ignore the Library and the Chapel and take the corridor to the right of the chapel to get a little more insight.

🔊The Long-haired woman
Oh my…there is a long-haired woman in the corner. But…This is too frightening. There is nothing under her neck…That spirit did not die peacefully. Oh dear…She was a patient here. And she says if we come any closer, she will kill us. So let’s not go further. Even I can’t stop her!

You CAN go further if you like, but there’s not much beyond here. So head back to the part of the corridor with the stairs and go through the fenced door.

Follow the corridor around to the left. You’ll come across a room labelled x-ray and an observation room. Head into the one that’s open.

🔊Hospital Director
I’m sorry. As the hospital director, I apologise with all my heart, sir. I will find your daughter and deliver her to your family. I am truly sorry. I truly am.

There’s a note on the desk.

📝 Concerned Note
Director, a word? It’s about Assistant Director Choi, who was hired last year.
I hear he’s a total wacko…they say he’s knee-deep in some cult and has been recruiting the locals. It’s said he sometimes sneaks into the hospital, so please be careful. He might want some payback for the disciplinary ruling. So when you leave, please go with the staff. That way, you’ll be safe.

Go into the treatment room across for another note

📝Hospital Closure rumour
On the television I see news about so many once-successful companies going bankrupt.
Perhaps due to the effects of the national bailout, I have been hearing disturbing rumours that the hospital might have to close down. Yesterday, the police came in and searched the wards all day long. I don’t know the reason for their coming, but I tried not to run into them. At midnight, I opened the lock in my room to view MR. Oh’s medical records. However, I have no more reason to treat him. He died the day before yesterday.

Head back to the part of the corridor where the first red gate you came in is located. There is a door here. Go though and ignore the door on the right and head though the door straight ahead that gives you access to the rest of the ward. Follow the long corridor until you start to hear a baby crying, go a little further until you see dolls and you’ll trigger some more voice lines.

🔊Vengeful spirit
Aha…the energy is strong here…feel my arm…there is a coldness here causing goosebumps. An extremely vengeful spirit is here. Ah…I suddenly feel like vomiting. I feel awful inside. Gah! Gaaaah!! Wait, I must get out! Wait!

Head past the doors and towards the planks of wood. There are some pliers on the floor. Grab them. Now I’m not entirely sure but you want to follow the sound of the crying, one of the dolls will be the doll you need, you might have to view it through the camcorder first to be able to interact with it. When you do find out which one will let you pick it up, you’ll notice the doll has been previously opened and stitched back up.

Let’s go back to the x-ray room now. Pop the doll on the table and click on it, the game should tell you to go check out the x-ray results. So move into the next room and click on the scan. Yep, there’s definitely something in there! Go back into the other room and click on the doll. You’ll hear a few snips and then she’s all yours. Take the (3/5) remains.

Now we need to start gathering the missing items.
How to find the Comb
Remember the door on the right I told you to ignore? We’re going there first. This takes us to the Pharmacy where there is a lost-and-found area on the desk in the corner. Take out the camcorder to reveal the Comb and take it.
How to find the Jade Rings
Make your way over to the other side of this floor and check out the library for a note on the shelves.

📝Girl on organ Note
A pastor made a remark as he entered the hospital.
“Some girl was touching the organ inside the chapel. So, I told her off and she left, leaving this jade ring behind.”

Go into the chapel through the open door on your right and inspect the organ. You’ll find a photo of a set of jade rings.

🖼️ A photo of a jade ring on a stainless plate

As you explore, keep an eye out for plates, one of these will contain your rings. Remember to use your camcorder. I think they're around where you can hear faint piano music.
How to find the Watch
Go back down to the ground floor. You can use the elevator a few times until you pop an achievement btw. Once in the foyer, get out the camcorder and listen for the chimes or ticking of a clock. Eventually you’ll see a bright blue light on the screen. Check around the nearest door for a clock on the wall, the pocket watch should be there when viewed through the camcorder.
How to find the Hand Mirror
Head back to the Cafeteria, but instead of going inside, check out the small corridor to the east. You’ll see 2 items. A collection of photographs on the floor and an image pinned to the notice board.

🖼️ 10 photos of the ceiling

The first 3 images that you can clearly see is the game giving away 3 locations you’ll need to visit. The remaining ones you’ll have to find for yourself. As you explore the levels of the hospital you’ll come across missing panels in the ceiling accompanied by a buzzing sound. Use the camcorder to look at these spaces and these pocong looking figures will appear. If you checked out the image on the notice board, these images relate to the hand mirror in that image. I’m not sure if you need to visit all 10 but one will have the mirror dangling from it when you use the camcorder. Make sure you take it.
How to find the Lipstick
Whenever you come across a bathroom, make sure to check the corner of the mirrors for a small red scribble. When found use the camcorder on the mirror and basin to reveal the red lipstick.
Room 216
Once you've collected all missing items, you should be able to enter room 216, located on 2F, down the corridor with all the dolls.
