Intro
Hello and welcome!
This will be, as always with me, a concise and no spoilers walkthrough to guide you through the game while getting 100% completion.
There's tons of extra objects and people that you can look and interact with in the game and you'd do so cause it'll give you lots of background info or funny references: still to make this walkthrough short we're only interacting with the important stuff.

Please note I've found their standard text speed too fast for my liking so as soon as I had access to the menu I've changed it to slow, see how you like it during the intro and go from there.

Hollywood

Nice place hm? Exit left.

Left some more there's a big trash can, use it to get yet another Piece then get back on the elevator and to floor 0.

Head left to a dark area with terminals, you can examine the pieces in your inventory to know what's what, use Helen's one on the right terminal and David's on the left terminal. If done correctly two doors will be available to you, use the one on the left.

We need that blue trunk, to do so interact and look with the crib and everything in this room. Talk to the person here and select the "I think there's something wrong..." option (it took me a few tries to have it appear, so much so I thought I was stuck, not sure what finally unlocked it for me tbh) to create a distraction and use the trunk to get a Towel.
Leave here, go back to the terminal room and enter the door on the right.

This one's simple at least, simply use the green plant next to where you start to get a Dagger, then leave and exit right.

Here combine the towel with the chloroform to get a Towel with chloroform and use it on the person on the left of the elevator door to get a Key then go right twice.

There's a slot on top of the skull on the right, use the piece that says "part of a mechanism" on it.

Head left twice and take the elevator to floor -1, use the key on the chained refrigerator and interact with it twice to get Milk before getting back up to floor 0. Exit left and use the leftmost door.

Inside the room with the baby simply combine the bottle and milk to get Milk bottle and give it to the person to swap it for a Crowbar.
Once done go back to the elevator and take it to floor -2.

Here combine the dagger with creature in your inventory, then use the crowbar on the tank in the middle of the room. Exit right and go to floor 0 then left to the terminal room, enter the only door that's left.
