Last update: 05 February 2021

On this page of our The Medium guide, you will find a walkthrough for the 17th stage of the game, Red House. We have described all the interactions you need to perform while exploring this area. In this sequence, you have to examine several items to get out of the vision. There are no secrets in this location.

As Thomas, you reach a ruined house. You won't find any secrets in it. However, there are various story-related items and notes containing information about the story.

Prepare a spirit blast. You will use it several times while going through this location.

Keep moving forward. You have no way to deviate from the path – just continue moving until you reach the next part of the location.

You reach a door – open it. You reach the next part of the location. Here, you will have to perform a few interactions to proceed.

In the room, you will find several items that will help you learn more about the story. You can, e.g. look at screens that will show you where you need to get to.

Walk up to the desk. The reel-to-reel tape lies on it – pick up this item.

Insert the reel-to-reel tape into the tape recorder.

Start the tape recorder and listen to an important message. This will open the door and allow you to leave the room.

Keep moving through the ruined house. You will soon get to the next part of the location.

You can find food cards in the dark corridors. You can examine them – you have plenty of time to see everything that lies around. No one will chase you.

However, when you see a flashlight flash, head to the left. There is a hole under the animal carcass that you can go through.

Continue your journey through the slaughterhouse. At some point, you will reach a cooler – animal carcasses will block the path forward.

Run the machine to move the pigs. This will allow you to run between them and reach the next part of the area.

Jump up the crates and beams to get to the scaffolding beneath the ceiling.

At the top, you will see a makeshift shelter that is lit by many candles.

A suitcase stands among the candles – examine it.

Inside it, you find a knife – pick it up and examine. This will enable you to draw energy from that environment.

Remember to draw the energy. Otherwise, you will not be able to continue the game.

Go downstairs and approach the door. Use the spirit blast to return to the previously seen office.

Check out the slaughterhouse first. This will allow you to see a normal room that contains some important information.

After a while, instead of a slaughterhouse, you will see a regular office. On the wooden table, you will find two pieces of information that you can check out.

Time to find another reel-to-reel tape. It is hidden in the dresser – use the insight to see it.

Insert the reel-to-reel tape into the tape recorder.

After listening to the next story, the door will open. Keep moving forward – you definitely won't get lost.

You will encounter the monster along the way. Use the spirit blast to block him. If the monster attacks you, you will die and have to go through the sequence again.

You will have to use spirit blast a few more times. Eventually, you will reach another door. After opening them, you will have to watch a few cut-scenes. Once they are over, you will go back to Marianne.
