Upon restart, I had to head to a turbine room and deactivate circuits to stop active machines that were blocking my way. After reaching a corridor, I used a switch to enter the Ocean View Motel, where I solved some puzzles to find a key. It triggered another switch, and I returned to find the void path finally completed.
At the restart, I noticed more platforms on the other side looked complete, so I decided to go back to explore them. I realized I had missed a section that could be the key to moving forward.
There was a turbine room that I ignored last time, thinking it would not be any help to me. After getting inside, I found my path was completely blocked with active machines that were moving very fast.
The room was loud and filled with the sound of grinding metal, making it clear I could not just walk through.
All this time, I had been activating circuits to turn things on, but this time I had to deactivate them. I worked to stop the engines so I could safely get to the other side of the room.
There was another similar path further ahead that was blocked by more machines. I had to perform similar tasks there to stop the motion and move ahead.
At last, I reached a corridor from where I could see the unfinished path in the void, and on the other side, I noticed what I had seen earlier. There was a switch on the wall that I clicked, hoping I knew where I was going.
I found myself back in the Ocean View Motel once again. This time, I was hoping I would not need any guide to know what to do next.
I recognized the strange hallways and the numbered doors, and I felt much more confident about navigating this weird place than I did during my first visit.
I knew what to do, so I started looking around for unlocked doors and then checked the locked ones. I had to solve a puzzle that required me to arrange the furniture in the same way in all the rooms. After matching everything perfectly, I found a key to a special room sitting on a table.
After opening the door with the key, I found another switch inside. As I looked through the window, I could see a copy of myself standing on the other side. It was a very strange and spooky moment.
After pressing the switch, I was taken back to the corridor that led me to the motel. I looked out into the distance and noticed that the incomplete path in the void was actually completed for me now.
The bridge was finally solid, allowing me to walk across the gap and continue my mission.
