No Sleep For Kaname Date Walkthrough Guide

There’s a lot to unravel in No Sleep For Kaname Date, one of the most mysterious games of the year. You’ll be required to solve dozens of complex puzzles and finally reveal the reason for several disappearances connected to Kaname Date. Usually, it takes about 10-12 hours to complete this game, but with the help of our walkthrough guide, you’ll manage to do it in under three hours.

Chapter 1: Act Call

The first chapter is the basic tutorial, which is easy to complete, although there are a few choices you need to make. On the first prompt, choose: “I escaped from an abandoned factory.” Once the aliens abduct you, the first game begins.

Escape From the “Ancient Civilization”

During the first task you need to examine all the interactive items on the alien spaceship. After that, follow these steps:

1. Insert the X-key into the X-shaped socket.
2. Investigate the map of the control room.
3. Pick up a Bronze Sumerian Idol (top) from one of the pilot seats.
4. Examine a wall-mounted sculpture.
5. Pick up a Bronze Sumerian Idol (bottom) from a blue pedestal to the left.
6. Combine the two halves into one and insert the idol back onto the pedestal.
7. Pick up an ampule and insert it into one of the four holes in the right side of the wall-mounted sculpture.

At this point, a red pedestal will emerge from the floor. You need to pick up a stick nearby and do the following:

1. Use the stick on the Iron Sumerian Idol on the blue pedestal.
2. Use the combined stick with the iron idol on the face tile, attached to the Anunnaki monument.
3. When the stone transforms into a ladder, you can climb to the top.
4. Use the stick hammer on the puzzle as shown before (hit four tiles).
5. Pick up the Blue Crystal Sumerian Idol.
6. Place the idol on the red pedestal and pick up another ampule.
7. Place the second ampule into the slot of the wall-mounted sculpture.

This will destroy one of the large crystals on the spaceship. Pick up a Crystal Shield from the rubble and continue:

1. Combine the Crystal Sumerian Idol with the Crystal Shield.
2. You’ll get a Crystal Knife as a result, so use it to cut the string of the purple flag.
3. You’ll receive a Crystal Symbol Slate and a Porcelain Sumerian Idol.
4. Use the slate to toggle the gravity on/off.
5. Turn it off and jump on top of the other stone monument.
6. Pour oil out of the Porcelain Sumerian Idol into the statue with warriors.
7. Use the Crystal Knife to activate the striker and set the statue on fire.
8. Pick up the Ivory Sumerian Idol once the burning is over.

Now you need to place the Bronze Sumerian Idol on the wooden star. This will reveal a Lapis Lazuli Sumerian Idol, so pick it up:

1. Place the Ivory Sumerian Idol into the left socket of the pedestal.
2. Place the Lapis Lazuli Sumerian Idol into the right socket.
3. Pick up an ampule and place it into the third the slot of the wall-mounted sculpture.
4. This will unlock a mini-game, where you need to place the squares on the bottom in the right order.
5. See the image above to get the right combination.
6. When the game is over, take the last ampule and insert it into the sculpture.
7. When you see another X-shaped slot appear in the piloting console, insert the Lapis Lazuli Sumerian Idol there.

Finally, you’ll unlock the map of the Solar System with coordinates, which you can use to travel from one planet to another.

1. Investigate the Green Flag and enter the following coordinates into the pilot console: 1-8-5-4-1-9
2. This will warp you straight to Earth, but soon you’ll be tasked to find the Third Eye.
3. Approach another large broken crystal and pick up the Moon and Eye Key.
4. Return to the console and enter new coordinates: 2-8-1-4-1-9
5. As soon as you warp, turn off the gravity using the slate.
6. Jump to the ceiling and interact with the giant eye in the center.
7. This will reveal the Third Eye, and another statuette will fall out of the ceiling.
