Sense – A Cyberpunk Ghost Story Full Walkthrough

For Sense – A Cyberpunk Ghost Story players, this guide is a full walkthrough  and it contains spoiler since it’s unavoidablem if you don’t mind, let’s get started now.

Note : At the end of the guide, I will try to put a section for the Shinrei Shashin locations, costumes and a NG+ section for the secrets. So if you’re looking for those they will be at the end. I’ll compelete the guide when I finished the second play through.

We start off in a subway car. 1: Pick up the PDA 2: interact with the poster on the left twice, the 2nd time Mei takes a photo. Now interact with the doors and just wait for the subway to arrive. (Note: When given the option to go home or go on date selecting “Go home” will just end the game).

1st city block: not much to do here, just some talking and a lady smoking a cigarette who you can lend your lighter.

2nd city block: When you get to the club some lady bumps you and knocks your id under the car. Talk to the bouncer then look at the car. Go talk to the guy with the green jacket and sunglasses at the entrance to this zone. Collect the 5 joss ingots lying around and burn them at the altar next to the guy kneeling down. Talk to him again to move his car. Now get your id and go into the club.

Club: Talk to people, then talk to the bartender twice, then walk away from her. Mei’s eyes go crazy, talk to the bartender again, then go to the bathroom.

Now the fun begins, pick up the bobby pin to the left (by the trash bags). Pick the lock on the storage closet to the far right, grab both items from the closet. Put the stool under the window to the far right, break the window with the pipe, grab the key. Now break the chains on the door using the pipe (requires multiple interacts) and continue on.

Leasing Office: Interact with the elevator button to the left, this will open a mailbox, pry it open and grab the key. Use the key to open the office to the right, remove the burnt fuse and move the other fuse to a different spot. Examine the desk, examine the couch, examine the painting by the elevator (the one with a bloody bullet hole), take the wire then use it to grab the pen under the couch. Use the pen on the desk to open it, take the key, open the last mailbox for another key. When you go to the office a ghost attacks and the door shuts to keep him out. Open the top drawer of the filing cabinet (The other 2 will become available later in the game). Grab the fuse and letter opener, put the fuse in the box. Run past the ghost (There’s a quicktime button press to get past him, so be ready). Then mash the elevator button repeatedly until the elevator arrives (Or don’t, the developers made this part easier, now the elevator arrives regardless).

Apt 204: Go to the left and examine the door to room 204, use the letter opener to open it. Examine the workbench to find out about the key maker. Then open the closet door to find the hole that leads into the walls. Get the offering cup on the shelf, open the cat bank for a gacha coin, there’s also a note here. Examine the peephole for a cutscene. Note: The ghost here won’t kill you but he will steal your stuff if he touches you, just return here to retrieve the stolen stuff. Return to the room and examine the phone on the wall to get a picture and the 2nd piece of the note. Examine the bookshelf next to the entrance door to discover the lockbox.

(Note: I’m not actually sure what the event order is to get this part to work, so you may have to come back to the key machine at some point to get the code prompt.)
(Another note: Save before you mess with this thing, my game bugged out and locked me into the code prompt, luckily I already knew the code but I couldnt exit it.)
Key machine:
Answer: 9615

Hallway: Go to the left more for a cutscene then continue on, examine the door with the Fu on it a couple times to learn you can hide there. Examine 201 to learn you need the key. Return to the leasing office.

Office: Use the screwdriver on the hole in the wall behind the picture you removed the wire from to get a key. Then use the screwdriver again the break open the 2nd drawer of the filing cabinet. Return to the 2nd floor to open the door to 201.

201, Managers apt.: Examine the oven for the wok. Examine the post-it board for a map. Examine the desk for the key to 205. Enter the bedroom. Examine the nightstands a few times to find a betamax tape, examine the altar on the far right to learn about the picture frame. Examine the wardrobe by the door to find a picture piece. Examine the painting of the soldier in the main room for another piece, and the post-it board for the final piece, Examine the desk to tape them together, then place the photo in the bedroom frame. Place the offering cup on the altar as well, then grab the cup on the table in the main room, fill the cup with rice from the sack by the oven. Leave the apartment and grab the joss sticks off the altar outside the room. Return to the room and the ghost will be there, leave and hide in the door with the Fu on it. Be ready for a quicktime/button pressing mini game thing as he walks by. Return to the room again and place the sticks on the altar, go back to the main room and examine the small table at the foreground for a lighter, return to the bedroom to light the sticks.

204: (Note: Good spot to save again if you haven’t. My game bugged out again here and no matter how long I waited the key never cooled enough to pick up. This caused me to be locked in the room because you can’t leave until its cooled.) Place the wok on the stove, now go to the leasing office and grab the lead (Or is it pewter? Or maybe zinc? Hmm, text changes a lot on this one…) taoist statue on the table next to the shrine. Return to 204 and melt it down, wait a while for it to melt. Then pour it into the key machine. Wait a while for it to cool, then get the key. There’s also a jade bangle in the hole closet.

206: Use the new key to get in. Interact with the ghost policeman and little girl at the far right. Then pick up the documents on the table. Grab the finger key on the bed. Look around a bit then leave. Ignore the hellscape that you end up in grab the betamax on the table, then just keep walking to get out.

204: Return here and place some offerings on the little table by the window with the picture to get rid of the ghost outside. Now you can access the elevator by the manager’s apartment. After opening the doors and examining the elevator return to the hole closet and pick up the plastic crate. Place it at the elevator to reach the 3rd floor.

301: To the left of the elevator, not much to do here yet. Examine the window to see the padlock. Stay away from the crows or they’ll kill you. Go back out and examine the storage room door to learn about the key.

304: Going around to the right there’s 2 doors leading to 304, the first one is jammed/locked. The 2nd door has 2 statues and an offering jar. Pick up the jar and examine the statue on the right a few times to find an opening on the bottom. Use the gacha coin from earlier to open it and retrieve the key. Enter the apartment. Grab the shoelaces from the sneakers on the floor to the right. Try to open the right bedroom door. Next to the refridgerator is a note and an ice cream scoop. Grab them both. Examine the broken circle door at the center of the room to discover it’s missing pieces. Grab the 1st piece on the tables to the left. There’s some more offering cups and sticks on the table further left. Examine the desk and calendar for some notes/clues. Enter the bedroom 2nd from the left. Inside is a jade bangle, a betamax tape and some more notes. It’s a good time to save here. After you leave the room the little ghost girl will approach you to play rock, paper, scissors. If you decline you die, so just play. Not sure if you can lose or what happens if you do, which is why I recommended saving. After you win she makes the floor and ceiling collapse and you fall into the 1st floor break room.

Break room: Examine the rubble, turn on the tv, examine the various notes in the room, then continue left. In the salon grab the paper clip off the desk, then examine the lucky cat for a key. Examine the sink with the cracked mirror and use the paper clip to grab the tape. Grab the broom a little further left. There’s also a bangle on the table if needed. Head back and go to the laundry room.

Laundry room: Use the key from the salon to unlock it. First is the door with the colors on it.
Answer: 8341

Examine the vending machine. Then examine the money machine on the wall for some coins. Then move left examining all the laundry machines and couch for more coins.

Return to the break room and use the broom to push the rubble. Examine the electrified puddle. Go back to the salon and get the remaining coins from the register, then grab the rubber mat in front of the cracked mirror. Return to the laundry room vending machine, buy anything except for soda and you’ll get a free can of water too (Buying soda kills you). Return to the rubble and place the floor mat down, now you’re back in the leasing office. There’s another cassette tape in the desk. You can play the 2 you’ve gotten in the salon room, but I’m not sure what their purpose is. Now return to the 2nd floor. Go to 201 and retrieve the storage room key from the manager’s desk. Go back to the 3rd floor.

Storage room: Suk Yi will be hiding in here, you can play hide and seek with her. Her first hiding spot is just to the right of the backpack. Look at the combo lockbox.
Answer: 050919

Move the chair by the door then to the spot, examine the box. Examine another box further to the right, then the final box for the locket. There’s also a tv in here to save.

304: The left door is now opened. Enter the bedroom on the left and grab the picture on the dresser to the right. Go into Suk Yi’s room on the right which is also now open. Grab the bouncy ball on the floor. Then place the photo and offerings on the table to the right.

306: Grab the plastic bottle on the table. Examine the bookshelf for a betamax tape. Then examine the desk for the staple remover and some notes. Examine the box next to the desk for firecrackers.

301: Use the firecrackers to scare away the crows, grab the bottle of oil on the far right. Return to the 1st floor closet in the laundry room to fill the plastic bottle with acid. Then use the acid and can of water on the window lock. This gives access to the 4th floor which I’ll get to later.

306: Return to 306 and use the oil on the body bag. Examine the sink on the left for the first eye, check under it first to turn off the garbage disposal. Examine the pig head for the 2nd eye. Examine the bin next to the dresser for the tongue. Then finally the fish statue next to the bed for the ears. Don’t worry about the ghost, he doesn’t bite. Finally put the pieces back on the corpse. Make the offerings, then take the box knife.

Return to the storage room to open the box then move to the 4th floor through the window.

Hallway: Only one way to go, cross the hole in the floor, watch out for the quicktime event. Then continue on around the next corner for the tripwire. Just spam interact button as you approach it until you get the prompt. Then do it again until you can throw the rubber ball.

405: Read the letters on the floor. Grab the offering cup on the table. Pick up the hair pin in the middle of the room. Grab the sticks on the table next to the doll.

403: Grab the ID card from the coat by the door. Enter the bedroom and examine stuff and move the wardrobe. Don’t worry about the door yet though. Return to the main room and examine the book case. Examine the sink and the note next to it. Go into the bathroom and retrieve the rubber gloves. Examine the desk, grab the xray, then put it on the xray viewer above the desk.

Back down to the storage room use the hair pin on the last lockbox. to get the scissors and comb.

3rd floor stuff: Place the pieces of the mirror door back on then examine it to find you need HG80. Go to room 306 and onto the balcony. Examine the thermometer holder then the railing to find the thermometer. Return to 304 for the ruler in the backpack on the floor and the storage room for the backscratcher. Then come back and use them together to get the thermometer. Go to the puzzle door and play the minigame. Once inside follow the ghost’s instructions, grab the offering cup and sticks on the left side. After you leave the room you’ll have to fight 3 small demons, so you may want to save before leaving.

405: Before coming in here make sure to cut the hair on the door in the hall before this one. Cut the hair in front of the divider. Move the divider. A cutscene will happen when you move in front of the mirror. Now for the hair door on the left. You have to use the scissors to cut the strands in the right order.
Answer: Top left, right, bottom left, top right.

Examine the closet on the left twice to get the photo and kunai. Return to the room and cut the hair on the doll to get the tape and key. Use the key on the filing cabinet in the center of the room to get the other half of the photo and the tape. Use the kunai on the hair by the door to get the strainer. Return to the bedroom and play the tape in the tv. In the main room take the kimono off the wall and put it in the trunk, along with the comb and scissors. Return to the bedroom and make an offering on the dresser.

403: Use the gloves and strainer on the sink. Use the wax seal on the desk, then put the book in the 4th place on the shelf. Time for the wardrobe door.
Answer: 1572

Drop down a save here, things are about to get fun. When you enter the room and examine stuff the crazy doctor ghost will attack you, triggering a cutscene where you lose a bangle. Hurry and exit the room, leave the apartment, and run to the right until you reach the elevator near 405. Interact with it to trap him in the elevator. Return to the secret room and perform the exorcism. Pick up the drill. Return to the elevator where you trapped the doctor and drill out the door next to it.
