How To Open The First Door
Quick links
- This is how you reach the first room
contempt is the newest horror-like video game from Game Pass. It’s the perfect game for players looking for some nightmarish content for the spooky month of October. Although it can be gory and make players nervous with its spooky atmosphere, it’s a game that’s mostly focused on solving puzzles. It takes advantage of its strange surroundings to solve uniquely macabre puzzles
.
The first puzzle can be difficult if the player is not used to the game mechanics and general controls. That’s why this guide shows exactly how to open the first locked door contempt and allow to advance to the main area.
This is how you reach the first room
contempt is not an action horror game as it is a puzzle game, so the gameplay is much slower, although it always makes players nervous due to the main character’s environment. Immediately after spawning in the world of contempt, players will be completely on their own to progress through the game; all they have with them are their instincts, at least for a while.
To get to the main area, where most of Act 1 takes place, players must reach the first puzzle room and successfully open the door.
This works a lot like a quick tutorial to understand how the puzzles work and what to expect in terms of encounters in the next few rooms. The controls are fairly simple, luckily there’s nothing to learn to articulate.
Once the intro ends, players can finally move. To get to the first room, players must turn left and ignore the door directly in front of the character – there is nothing to do here yet. Keep walking down the corridor and eventually pass a room with a tall building on your left. These are the kind of structures that will be constantly present in this bizarre world.
Many of the smaller rooms in contempt are just there to complement the environment, players can’t actually do anything there. Even if there’s no mystery in a given room, it’s a great way to expand on the immersion and make it worth exploring.
Move forward until the corridor ends. There, players will find themselves on the balcony overlooking the main/spiral room. On the left is a door that cannot be opened for now, and on the right is another corridor; they have to go there.
Further down the corridor there is a door on the left wall. Players can open the door by interacting with it. However, it will close and lock right behind you. So now they’re stuck in this room and there’s only one way out.
How to open the door
There is absolutely no way to open the first door and return to the corridor. So, in order to escape, players must unlock the large door at the end of the room. The door has a contraption right in front of it, but it’s not possible to use it without first collecting something to activate it.
On the left side of the door is a terminal that players can use by interacting with it. It might seem a bit sketchy, especially since the character has to put their hand right into it. Some might wonder if this could be dangerous and cause harm, but there’s no need to worry – even if it sucks in the character’s hand and seems to keep it there. contempt is full of body horror, and if that part causes some jitters, it’s only a very small part of it.
TThe device implanted in the character’s hand now allows him to interact with the devices that will be in the different rooms of the game – just like Link’s Sheikah Slate in Breath of the Wild, the difference is that this was once stabbed directly into the character’s flesh.
So now it’s finally possible to interact with the contraption in front of the door. Players must approach and interact with him in order to control him and solve the puzzle.
The puzzle is fairly simple, it’s a tutorial to show players the basics of these contraptions. They always have a “Use” button and a “Get Directions” button. The door has two gate locks; To open it, players must first unlock the left gate lock and then the right gate lock. Then they can press and hold the “Exit” button to undock the character from the device.
Once they are no longer connected, the door will begin to close as the locks are no longer held by the device. To prevent the door from closing, players must run to the next room. shrinking contemptPlayers can press LB on the Xbox controller or Left Shift on PC. Those who fail must activate the device again in the same way and try again. The door leads players into the main/spiral room of Act 1, this is where the first complex puzzle takes place, and the game really gets going beyond the tutorials.
contempt is available now for PC and Xbox Series X.
