Silver Pines

Silver Pines Beginner Guide

Your opening priorities are simple: collect the diner's useful equipment, keep coins for saving, and avoid spending ammunition on every enemy. These habits help in both the demo and the full game.

1. 1Drink coffee for more staminaCoffee machines permanently increase your maximum stamina. Check the Miner Diner's kitchen before moving on.
2. 2Check payphone coin returnsInspect the return slot for change before paying to save. Keep coins available for calls instead of spending everything on supplies.
3. 3Photograph clues and blocked pathsYour Polaroid photos attach to the map. Record locked doors, unusual symbols and clues so you know where to return.
4. 4Repair weapons and choose your fightsBroken melee weapons deal very little damage. Use Duct Tape for small repairs, and crouch past distracted enemies when you can.

Silver Pines Safe and Puzzle Codes

Match each combination to its exact lock. The Town Hall Operations Office locker uses 1893, but the Crimson Bear Motel gate has a different code in each save: read Eddie's entry in the guest ledger.

• Shotgun Locker and Motel Room 3: 6671The motel gift shop weapon locker and Room 3 safe share this combination. Calling Room 3 on 58883 provides the clue.
• Union Building LockboxesEnter 1C, 3A, 2A, 3C for the supervisor's lockbox. The basement lockbox uses 1525; its clue is painted over on the wall of apartment 1C.

Silver Pines Weapons and Tools

Equipment serves two purposes here: surviving encounters and reaching new areas. Remember where you found an obstruction, then return with the tool that can clear it.

• Shotgun

  Look for it at the Crimson Bear Motel. It can blast through wooden barricades, so reserve shells for exploration as well as combat.

• Box Cutter

  Use it to cut cloth and plastic tarps blocking your route. A tool can still have traversal uses after its combat durability runs out.

• Sledgehammer

  Break cracked walls to reach new spaces. Obtaining it in Church Hill also lets you work toward accessing Motel Room 3.

• Melee Weapon Repairs

  Combine Spare Parts with Duct Tape to make a Makeshift Repair Kit. Keep repair supplies available before your melee weapon breaks.

Silver Pines Inventory and Character Upgrades

Extra carrying space, stamina and Memento slots make exploration more manageable. Look for Hip Bags, coffee machines and wooden bird figurines while searching each area.

• All Inventory Upgrades

  Nine Hip Bags each add two inventory slots. Collecting them gives you more room for ammunition, healing supplies, tools and quest items.

• Coffee Machines

  Seven coffee machines provide permanent stamina increases. The machine in the Miner Diner's kitchen is an early upgrade worth collecting.

• Memento Vessel Shards

  Shoot wooden bird figurines to collect shards. Combine four into a vessel for another Memento slot; all 16 shards expand your total to five slots.

Silver Pines Boss Preparation

Boss attempts draw from the same limited supplies you use while exploring. Check your health in the inventory, repair worn equipment and keep enough change to save before a dangerous encounter.

• Union Building Boss Fight

  Prepare ammunition, repaired equipment and healing tonics before attempting the encounter. Tonics provide immediate healing, while Medkits require a minigame.

• Combat Essentials

  Practice dodging and finishing downed enemies with the stomp prompt. Watch firearm indicators: weapons such as the shotgun require a shell to be ejected before firing again.

Silver Pines Ending Guide

There are three endings: Leave, Rest and Live. Keep a save at the payphone before meeting Eddie so you can revisit the ending routes. Read ending-specific pages when you are ready for story spoilers.

• Live Ending

  Explore the Live conclusion in the ending guide. Preserve your save before meeting Eddie if you want to see the other outcomes too.

• Rest Ending

  Find help with the Rest conclusion, one of the game's three endings. This section covers late-game story material.

Silver Pines Map and Exploration

Paper maps reveal nearby locations and landmarks, while your camera adds visual reminders. Revisit photographed obstacles whenever you obtain a weapon, tool or key that could open a new route.

• Diner to Crimson Bear Motel

  Get your bearings along the opening route through Garth's Pharmacy and Rodney's General Store toward the motel.

• Downtown and Beyond

  Navigate Downtown, Riverside, the Union Apartments and Church Hill as the investigation leads toward Mt. Siah Kopa and Thelend Broadcasting Company.

Silver Pines Achievements and Demo Progress

Achievements include story progress, upgrades, collectibles and optional interactions. Keep demo progress separate from your full-game checklist, because demo saves do not transfer.

• Optional Achievement Stops

  Call 911 from a payphone and pet the cat in the ferry office for two optional achievements. Set aside a coin for the call.

• Demo Walkthrough and Achievements

  Use the demo to learn saving, exploration and combat. It contains three Hip Bags, but you will start a new save when moving to the full game.
