Since you didn't know the code to the keypad, you step back and continue searching for clues. You look towards the bookshelf on one side and the clocks on the other side.

As you have already checked the bed area, going there again will not provide you with any new clues. Thus, you decide not to consider the bed area as an option.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Based on your past experience in escape games, the clocks might definitely be some sort of puzzle. As for the bookshelf, it might contain clues to solving the puzzle.

But, will solving the puzzle give you the access code? Or will it just lead to another puzzle to solve?

Only one way to find out. You decide to check one of the areas.

Where shall you go to next?
