Edge of Reality: The Forest

The Bonus Chapter (the "Bonus Game" in the game's messages) unlocks once you finish the main game. In the Collector's Edition, a message after the ending says it is now available: choose Extras on the main menu, pick Bonus Chapter, press Play and choose a difficulty. In the free version, press Play and choose Bonus Chapter instead of Main Game. Amanda is now the park director, and a hurricane is coming.

"Scroll through the animals and place them on the map according to their footprints." Eight animals sit on eight fixed spots: top-left, top, top-right, inner-left, inner-right, bottom-left, bottom and bottom-right. Four triangles each rotate three animals: A (upper-left: top-left, inner-left, top), B (upper-right: top, top-right, inner-right), C (lower-left: inner-left, bottom-left, bottom) and D (lower-right: bottom, inner-right, bottom-right).

   Take the batteries and the SOS pager.

Repair the bicycle so Dr. Finch can reach the trailer camp.

   At the bicycle, scrub the rusty chain with the brush and use the wrench on the crank. Oil the chain with the oil can from the saddle bag (the chain goes back on), then attach the loose pedal lying on the ground.
2. 2
   Give Dr. Finch the SOS pager. He leaves for the trailer camp.
3. 3

Amanda is thrown from the train. A huge boar prowls nearby while a bird distracts it.

   Spray the boar with the extinguisher. "It's finally gone!"
4. 4
   At the tool bag, take the matches. Open the bag, put the batteries in the flashlight and take it. The medical kit is locked.
5. 5
   At the brambles on the right, take the belt. Fit it to the glass shard in the box to make a sickle.
6. 6
   Cut the brambles with the sickle and fill the thermal cup at the river.
7. 7
   At the tree hollow, pour the water on the owl's wing and take the lock part. Use it to open the medical kit and take the kit.

   Place the medical kit beside the owl and click it until the wing is healed.
9. 9
   Shine the flashlight on the left path and go that way.

"Get out of the forest. Find and use items to overcome obstacles." Only the flashlight beam lights the screen. Use the arrows to move.

   Starting screen ("There's a trail."): bushes block the trail on the left. Take the path at the upper right to a small footbridge over a stream and find the first plank there with the flashlight.
2. 2
   Take the path at the upper left to a stony stream and pick up the knife. Go back (arrow at the bottom) twice to the starting screen.
3. 3
   Cut the bushes with the knife ("The passage is clear.") and take the cleared path. You reach a broken bridge with an owl in a tree; take the path at the upper right to an abandoned camp with a cooking pot.
4. 4
   At the camp, find the second plank and the rubber boots, then go back to the broken bridge.
5. 5
   Repair the bridge with both planks ("The passage is clear."), put on the boots and go forward to the village.

"The settlement looks empty. I hope they went to Treehill. I need to check Tina's House."

3. 3
   At the well, place the jack under the rock and the handle under the jack to move it. The well grate is locked.

   Enter Tina's house and watch Dr. Finch's video message: the trailer camp is evacuated, but the sheriff went looking for you and has lost contact. "Please find him!"
