How I Recovered Melo's Eyes, Hands and Mouth

Quick answer: From the Chapter 1 hub, go north for the hands, west for the mouth and south for the eyeballs. My preferred order is Hands → Mouth → Eyes. In the corporate button room, enter LET ME GO first, then return and enter LET ME TALK. In Timesville, reverse direction when the bear-house staircase becomes completely black, then follow the ghost footprints to the graveyard.

Recovering Melo’s missing senses is the first major objective after the CHESHIRE sequence starts Chapter 1.

The game allows me to visit the three areas in another order, but the abilities are not equivalent:

• hands restore physical interactions;
• the mouth restores dialogue and Tip’s location-specific advice;
• eyeballs restore visual interactions and readable environmental details.

That is why I recover the hands first.

This is an early Chapter 1 objective, immediately after the CHESHIRE transition and before the main Office and Core progression.

A direct route is much shorter than a first exploratory visit because Misery Town and Timesville contain optional booths, NPC conversations and minigames that are not required for restoring Melo’s senses.

If Melo has already entered the Office, started the corporate assessment or reached the wider Core objective, the three recovery routes are still available. I still recommend restoring all three senses before continuing those larger Chapter 1 branches.

The Three Routes From the Chapter 1 Hub

I use the central area with Tip as my orientation point:

• North: Misery Town — recover the hands
• West: corporate area — restore the mouth
• South: Timesville — recover the eyeballs

These directions matter more than memorizing every room inside the three areas.

When I finish one sense route, I return to the central hub and take the next direction. I do not keep searching the completed area for another missing body part.

Why I Use Hands, Then Mouth, Then Eyes

My preferred order is:

Hands → Mouth → Eyes

Hands remove the most immediate restrictions

Without hands, Melo can reach many objects but cannot properly:

• pick them up;
• operate physical controls;
• present inventory items;
• use tools;
• complete hand-based activities.

Several interactions look like unfinished puzzles when they are only checking whether the hands have been restored.

Mouth makes later exploration easier

Once the mouth is back, Melo can speak normally and ask Tip for advice.

That does not replace puzzle solving, but it gives useful area-specific hints when I return to a place with several available objectives.

The eyes route is mostly self-contained

The route to the eyeballs is driven by movement, darkness, a ghost event and footprints.

I do not need to finish Timesville’s fishing, hide-and-seek, police or town side activities to recover them.

This makes Eyes a clean final route after the two broader interaction locks have already been removed.

How to Recover the Hands in Misery Town

From Tip’s hub, I take the north route into Misery Town.

The hands are not awarded by clearing every booth or solving the town’s later clown puzzles. The Chapter 1 route continues through the surreal attraction and its shifting-wall maze.

Continue through the early attraction

I move through the opening Misery Town sequence until the route changes into a more abstract maze.

The area includes several distracting interactions, including booths, characters and minigames that cannot yet be completed.

For the hands objective, I keep following the active attraction route.

Treat the walls as changing paths

The main blocker is the maze where invisible barriers and open corridors change after progression events.

The game repeatedly signals:

The walls have shifted.

That message means the route I just tested may no longer have the same result.

I recheck the nearest corridors whenever it appears.

Following the original path from memory caused most of my wasted movement. A passage that was blocked before the shift can become the correct route afterward.

Use the visible hands as the destination

The missing hands eventually become visible beyond the maze.

Seeing them does not mean I can walk directly toward them. The final barriers still have to shift.

When I reach another dead end near the hands, I return to the most recent junction and test the newly available side rather than restarting the entire Misery Town route.

The final passage triggers the recovery scene.

Once the game confirms that Melo’s hands are back, I leave the attraction.

What I Skip During the First Misery Town Visit

Restoring the hands does not complete all of Misery Town.

Several visible problems belong to later progression:

• the injured Surgeon character asking for a knife;
• the colored dead-clown film puzzle;
• the Scalpel reward;
• the missing red Bingo Ball;
• Bun and Boon’s game;
• the microphone and crowd;
• the Trapezist route.

I do not delay the senses objective trying to solve them immediately.

The Surgeon, Scalpel, dead-clown and Bingo Ball chain is covered in the Endacopia Puzzle Solutions Guide.

After recovering the hands, I return to Tip’s hub and take the west route.

How to Restore the Mouth

The mouth is in the west corporate route.

This section contains several connected puzzle rooms before the word-button machine. I continue until I reach the interface that builds short sentences from the available words.

Two different phrases are required.

They are not interchangeable.

Enter LET ME GO First

The first phrase is:

LET ME GO

When it is accepted, the system displays the important confirmation:

Access restriction has been lifted.

It also explains that the exit is available past the room to the right.

That confirmation means the first sentence is complete. I use the newly opened route instead of continuing to rearrange the words.

LET ME GO opens the route, but it does not restore the mouth.

Return and Enter LET ME TALK

After I pass the restricted section, Tip comments that he is tired of having nobody to talk to.

He directs Melo back to the button room to ask for help speaking.

I return to the same word interface and enter:

LET ME TALK

The resulting scene restores the mouth and normal dialogue.

I can now speak with NPCs and ask Tip for advice by interacting with Melo.

How I know the mouth route is finished

I leave when all three of these conditions are true:

• Melo can speak normally;
• Tip explains that advice is now available;
• the game reports only the remaining senses.

I do not continue deeper into the Office progression merely because it is now accessible. The Office and Core form a separate Chapter 1 objective after the three senses are restored.

How to Recover the Eyeballs in Timesville

From the central hub, I take the south route into Timesville.

The eyeballs are connected to the strange bear house near the graveyard side of town.

Fishing, hide-and-seek and the police area are visible nearby, but none of them is required for this recovery route.

Enter the Bear House

I enter the house and continue upward.

The rooms become emptier and darker as I climb.

Eventually, the staircase becomes completely black. Melo can still move, but there is no useful visual feedback and continuing in the same direction does not reveal the next room.

This is the main Timesville blocker.

Reverse Direction in the Black Staircase

When the staircase is fully black, I turn around and move back the way I came.

The route is not asking for:

• a flashlight;
• a time-of-day change;
• another sense;
• a hidden item from town.

Reversing direction reveals the balcony sequence.

I watch the bear and the shadowy event play out.

After the scene changes, ghost footprints begin appearing.

Follow the Ghost Footprints

I leave the house and follow the footprints rather than searching every nearby building.

The trail leads toward the graveyard.

I stay with it until the prints stop at the relevant grave. Interacting there opens the path below.

The eyeballs are inside that grave route.

Collecting them restores Melo’s final missing sense in this route order.

If Eyes is the third recovery, Tip confirms that Melo has all his senses back.

What Happens If I Choose a Different Order?

The three routes remain accessible, so a different order does not require a new game.

What changes is the number of partial interactions I encounter.

Eyes before Hands

Recovering the eyeballs first lets Melo examine more environmental details, but physical item checks still fail.

A concrete example is Captain Scuba.

Even after obtaining a Fishing License, Melo cannot present it without his hands. The inventory item exists, but the action itself remains locked.

When an NPC asks Melo to hand over, show, operate or grab something, I leave that interaction until Hands are restored.

Mouth before Hands

Mouth-first is also possible.

It unlocks normal dialogue and Tip’s advice early, which can make the other routes easier to understand.

It does not unlock physical controls. Objects that need to be picked up or operated still wait for the hands.

This order is useful when I value hints more than reducing backtracking.

Hands after another sense

If I already recovered Mouth or Eyes, I can still enter the north route and complete the same shifting-wall maze.

No earlier decision changes the hands destination.

Once Hands are back, I revisit only the interactions that explicitly failed because Melo could not grab, use or present something.

What Unlocks After All Three Senses Return

Once Melo has his hands, mouth and eyeballs, Chapter 1 opens into its broader problem-solving phase.

The immediate advantages are:

• physical items and tools can be used;
• NPC dialogue becomes available;
• Tip provides location-specific advice;
• environmental details can be examined;
• previously blocked Office and town interactions can be revisited.

I do not attempt to clear every reopened interaction at once.

My next main progression target is the corporate Office and Core route. The assessment, five calls, employee tasks, wrench and water cooler are covered in the Endacopia Office and Call Center Guide.

For the later Misery Town Surgeon, Scalpel, Bingo Ball and code routes, I use the Endacopia Puzzle Solutions Guide.
