Interact with the space on the wall above the desk where a picture should obviously go.The blanket shape is back in the corridor.Take a photo of the lightbulb above your gift to turn it into a noose, and unlock the door again. The door will be locked behind you all of a sudden.You won't open that until much, much later. There's a locked hatch in the room - ignore it.Pick up the present in the centre of the room and interact with it to get the Instant Camera.Go inside and take the Oval Portrait off the right-hand wall. The door to the left of the crawlspace is now unlocked.Look down the hallway to see a shape covered by a blanket that wasn't there before.

Interact with the blank wall on the left for Luca to exclaim "Wasn't there a door here?!".You actually won't be escaping via that (or using the hammer to just break a window, which I would do), but instead by making your way further inside. Now you're in the corridor, your objective is to find a way out of the house, but the only door is padlocked. What puzzles want from you can often be a little unclear if you don't have all the pieces yet, so exploration and situational awareness is key. If you ever want to break away from the walkthrough and try to solve things on your own, focus first on making sure you know absolutely everything at your disposal, read through any notes and text, and then go about the process of seeing how it all ties together. Intuiting the next steps or what the game wants from you, as well as how you're supposed to go about it, can be a little tough at times. The important thing to remember is that as a game, Madison has an… elastic relationship with logic, arguably because of the distorting power of the demons and the implication that the reality as you perceive it is fairly questionable.

We've broken our Madison walkthrough up into twelve sections that represent the main events of the game, in the order you encounter them, and you can navigate through these by means of the links on the side of the page - or just scroll down to encounter them in chronological order!
