As the very first puzzle you’ll encounter in the game, this one isn’t all that tough, but can still be a tad tricky if you’re not picking the right options.

There’s only one solution to this puzzle room, though, so you don’t have to worry about branching outcomes. Here’s how to solve it.

Sinkin in the Brain Puzzle Solution

  1. Examine the door

  2. Sniff the Winter Iris plant

  3. Kick the rose lamp

  4. Search the basket

  5. Take a sip from the wine glass on the table

  6. Hit the skeleton sitting on the couch

  7. Pick up the gun

  8. Fit the gun into the keyhole of the door
