Leave the Chloe's bedroom and walk downstairs, you will get a text from Kate saying thanks for saving her, then you can go to the garage and search for the tiny tools. There are a pack of small screwdrivers on top of the washing machine, which when turned on will shake and throw the tool underneath a counter. But before doing so, push the piece of cardboard under the counter so that you can get the screwdrivers back out from under the counter. Pulling the cardboard back out to get the screwdrivers. Now return to Chloe, talk to Chloe and she will tell you to fix your camera at her desk.

After telling Chloe about the event, she will ask you some more question, afterwards Chloe will give you an old-style camera, then she will crank up some music - take a photo of Chloe dancing on her bed. Chloe's stepdad will call up and try to get into the room, quickly move the lamp away from the closet door and hide in the closet.

After that Chloe will grow happier, then you mention the word "destiny". Which makes Chloe sad, then Max drifts back into the nightmare from the beginning. You can see a deer, walking towards the deer, try not to be squished by the boulder as well as the falling tree. Then the rolling logs and then the lighthouse itself. Grab the newspaper and see that you are seeing the future, this Friday. Phasing back into the real world, Chloe is there and you tell Chloe about what is happening. Then it starts snowing, you tell Chloe everything.
Condition:
This game is stunning and reals really well made. It gives an insight into the lives of people who have to cope with social anxiety and bullying. The character arc is exquisite, just really great. I really liked the feature that Max can turn back time and alter events which have happened, the butterfly effect takes huge tolls on your decisions throughout the game. I would give this game a solid 7.5/10.
I will have a guide for the achievements in a later post.
