=Events=

Apartment 401
Enter the cream door to Sepia Mansion and head straight through the halls without taking any doors or stairs until you reach the Obsolete Alleyway. When you see an open garage door, enter, then go up until you've reached the fourth floor; enter the right door.

This room is the only one in the Apartment Building to be occupied by an NPC - a green-haired girl. A radio plays in the living room that can be toggled on and off. By repeatedly turning the radio off, leaving the room, and entering, there is a chance the music will stop, but the radio still animates as if it is playing music. Interacting with it again distorts the room and turns the girl into a chaser, similar to the Uboa event of Yume Nikki. The door out will be stuck, and will require multiple interactions to unlock it and escape. Noticeably, returning to the room after this event reveals the door still locks itself and requires extra effort to open.

Note that if you equip the Minus Screwdriver in this room, the girl will begin shaking her head and backing away, distressed.

Temple Face
Go to the Temple and go through the banquet room to a place with a gray background and a set of eyes. Interacting with the edge pans the screen up and shows the face in full. There is a chance that chasers appear when looking at the face, seemingly connected to the Mini Dress effect.

(The Minus Screwdriver effect is required for this event.)

Enter the red door to Dark World and find a blonde girl to enter the Hospital.
