Chapter 2
Rockford's House
First friend, first memory.
Summary
The first night-out beat, and the chapter that quietly plants the game's emotional stakes. On the surface Rockford's House is more exploration — but where Chapter 1 set up mechanics, this one sets up people. A family photo on the wall introduces Stacy's full household (sister Debbie, her dad, and mom Susan), and a conversation with her mom about leaving versus staying is the first time the night's central tension is spoken aloud. Pay close attention to how mom phrases it: that dialogue foreshadows the requirement for the True Ending much later. Slater arrives mid-chapter and the night out properly begins, with DEVO's 'That's Good' carrying the first-act energy. Stacy's bedroom is fully explorable, and completing every memory interaction here is what earns Goodbye Stacey's Room — it auto-unlocks on chapter completion, so sweep the whole room before you trigger the exit rather than after.
