Silver Pines Demo Walkthrough: Route to the Ferry

1. From the diner to the underpass

Begin at the diner and search the nearby car trunk for the Eddie Velvet material and camera. The independent demo guides put the General Store early in the route: its box cutter opens cuttable barriers, while the underpass leads toward the motel. Keep notes on locked paths so you can return with the matching tool.

1. Inspect the diner and nearby car before chasing later map markers. The camera and case material establish the investigation.
2. At the General Store, read the note and wall calendar together. The guide describes the meat-locker clue as the displayed day of the month plus 23; derive it from the calendar in your build.
3. Collect the box cutter and use it on the tarp barrier along the underpass route. It is a cutting tool, not a replacement for a key or firearm.
4. Check for the motel gate key while working through the underpass. Return to the blocked route once you have the tool or key it requires.

2. Work through Crimson Bear Motel

The motel is a chain of small dependencies. Read the ledger before entering a guest number at the gate; the relevant entry is Eddie Velvet’s Grizzly Suite. The NPC Tips route then places the shooting-gallery challenge before the pool and suite access. If you are repeating the same locked door, check the preceding dependency rather than trying unrelated inventory items.

3. Follow the shotgun locker clue

The motel phone is the useful lead. Check the guest-room directory, place the relevant call and follow the guest-room conversation to the supply-locker combination. Independent guides disagree about whether a copied number should be treated as universal, so this walkthrough follows the clue route rather than presenting one number as guaranteed for every build.

• A keypad clue is separate from the physical route into the gift shop. A combination will not open a door whose access item is missing.
• The box cutter does not solve firearm-gated obstacles. After obtaining the shotgun, revisit the obstacles that call for it.
• The developer’s second demo patch explicitly added shotgun destruction of wooden barricades. This does not mean every fence, cracked rock or locked trunk can be shot open.

4. The Rabbit Hole and the ferry

After the motel, the demo route returns through town toward the Rabbit Hole bar. Follow its light-switch and basement progression, then the cable car and tunnel route. The ending is reached by continuing to the ferry objective. The NPC Tips guide records the Ferry Office Key as part of this final stage, but does not settle every pickup location; an exact key-location instruction is therefore not included here.

1. Backtrack through town with the weapons and tools acquired at the motel. Revisit the corresponding barriers, not every unexplored marker.
2. Inspect the Rabbit Hole bar’s switch and basement progression. Follow the newly opened route toward the cable car.
3. Continue through the tunnel encounter and ferry objective. The ferry ends the standalone demo; the route does not establish the opening order of the retail game.

When a step does not match your game

This is a source-based route for the standalone demo, not a claim of a completed retail playthrough. The NPC Tips reference identifies build 23642600; the developer also changed barricade behavior in the June demo patch. If the expected interaction is absent, compare the application and build first. A side path shown on the map is not proof that it can be completed within the demo. Exact Door Knob pickup instructions and the disputed universal locker number remain unverified.
