Servant of the Lake Aldous Vanderboom's Room Map

Aldous Vanderboom’s bedroom is the Servant of the Lake Demo finale space. After you cross the estate with cooked porridge, nearly every remaining gate happens here: wake at 7:00, warm slippers, shave, berry-and-insect breakfast, toy soldier exercise, formal dressing, and the guest carriage tap through the window. This map labels interactables so you can match the table note to objects in the room without rereading the entire Demo walkthrough.

Demo scope only— guest suites or alchemical props teased for the August 13, 2026 full release are not mapped here.

Room entry and layout

Connections: Reachable from the entrance hall / central hall once the story directs you to serve breakfast. Single bedroom chamber with bed, table, dresser, rack, window, and floor props (slippers, toy soldier).

Entry requirement: Carry the finished porridge pot from the kitchen after the stove chain. Entering early for exploration is possible in some builds, but the routine note governs meaningful interactions.

Table and routine note

The note on the table is the state machine for the morning sequence:

1. Open bed curtains.
2. Wake Aldous at 7:00 on the clock.
3. Shave him.
4. Serve breakfast (porridge chain continues in bowl).
5. Exercise sequence.
6. Dress with rack clothes.

Final line warns he dislikes cold feet— both slippers must be equipped after wake.

Clock and bed area

Object	Purpose
Bed curtains	Open before waking
Clock	Missing hand from toy soldier; set 7:00 (short VII, long XII)
Bed	Aldous lies here until wake puzzle completes

Clock hand is removed from the toy soldier on the floor— pick it up during the pre-wake inventory sweep.

Dresser, drawers, and patterned box

Object	Purpose
Lower drawers	Spoon, one slipper
Patterned puzzle box	Rotation puzzle; yields razor; second slipper nearby
Top drawer	Locked until bird key; holds berries for porridge

Pattern box is tile alignment, not code 235. Razor enables shaving including earlobe removal for the window bird.

Tableware and breakfast zone

Object	Purpose
Bowl	On table; give to Aldous with spoon
Porridge pot	From kitchen; add to bowl
Spoon	Multiple feedings after insect berries cleared

Breakfast fails forward into berry/insect logic— not a kitchen mistake if dialogue says something is missing.

Window and bird

Window opens to exterior bird:

1. Feed earlobe after shaving.
2. Receive dresser key.
3. Later, view guest carriage after full routine for Demo ending.

Bird exchange is mandatory for berries; skipping shave blocks the chain.

Clothing rack and exercise floor

Object	Purpose
Clothing rack	Shift clothes to reveal cleaning cloth; final shirt, vest, bow order
Toy soldier	Plays exercise directions: Left, Right, Down, Right, Right, Down
Aldous figure	Click directions matching soldier after breakfast

Exercise must be exact; one wrong input requires restarting the sequence from the first direction.

Shaving cleanup

Use razor on all stubble, collect earlobe, then cloth to clean blood. Cloth step is a hard gate before breakfast proceeds cleanly.

Demo ending — guest carriage

After dress completes, interact with the window to see the approaching guests’ carriage. Tap the carriage to end the Demo. No guest interior is playable— full-game speculation only.

Softlock prevention

If the carriage never appears, verify all six note gates in order: curtains, 7:00, two slippers, full shave with cloth, berries with insect squashed and enough spoonfuls, six exercise inputs, three clothing pieces. Partial completion leaves the window unchanged.

Optional easter egg 728 is easier before first bedroom commit if you want the black bird egg— it does not replace any bedroom object listed above.
