Get ready to channel your inner detective as we navigate the Kitchen in Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. Here’s a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to help you make it through this room after making it trough the door 4 cabin.
Starting Point
- You’ll begin near an array of plates. Check the voucher to the left, which reveals the kitchen uses hexadecimal — a base-16 system where letters A-F represent numbers 10-15.
Right Door
- Turn right and face two doors. Choose the right door.
- Examine the cheese shelf and tap the middle cheese. Grab the bottle of oil hidden behind it.
- Move the white curtain on the shelves to the left, revealing a wooden box on the middle shelf. Open it to find a dull knife.
- June shares her knowledge about the Titanic. Gotta love a good history lesson!
Freezer (Left Door)
- Leave the room and attempt to enter the left door. The freezer is bolted shut.
- Use the bottle of oil on the bolt to loosen it. Santa, Junpei, and June enter the freezer, only to get locked inside. Yikes!
- Examine the shelves and pick up a chunk of pork.
- Open the cabinet and take the frozen chicken from the bottom shelf and dry ice from the top shelf. Santa and June divulge some cool facts about dry ice and Ice-9.
- To get the true ending, choose “it did strike Junpei as rather odd” and “was honestly impressed”.
- Examine the trap door on the floor. Open it and take the rope and water bottle.
- Combine dry ice with chicken (to smash it), then combine the dry ice remains with the water bottle. Finally, combine the water bottle with the rope to create a makeshift water bottle bomb.
- Turn towards the door and examine the doorknob. Fill the water bottle with warm water, tie it to the door, and take cover in the trap door area. Junpei throws a piece of dry ice at the volatile device, causing it to explode and destroy the ice barrier on the lock. The trio can now exit the freezer.
Finishing Up
- Turn to the sink and take the whetstone to its left. Combine it with the dull knife to get a sharp knife.
- Locate the grill (left of the plates, right of the sink, and right-hand side of the screen). Place the chunk of pork on it, then use the sharp knife to cut it, revealing a piece of paper.
- The paper reads “C + 10 + F”. Using hexadecimal, this equals 43.
- Back away from the grill and zoom in on the coded lock beneath the stovetop. Input 43 to unlock it, then open the doors to find the Saturn key card.
- Use the Saturn card on the key card reader by the exit door. This unlocks it, allowing you to exit the room and breathe a sigh of relief.
