Key Points
- The Severed Hand is located at the Elevator section of the map. It’s located between the Guard Office and the Rehabilitation Ward.
- The Severed Hand leads to another puzzle, and then finally to the easter egg.
- To fully complete the puzzle requires dedicated observation of RNA Codons and more.
There is a secret puzzle attached to the Severed Hand; you just need to grab it and interact with the right machine to get the puzzle started. This will play a major role in resolving a larger easter egg at the end.

Finding and Using the Severed Hand
Severed Hand Location: You will find the hand next to the bloodied Elevator after rescuing Emily from the Care Center Basement.
After picking up the Severed Hand, drop Emily on the couch in the Guard Office or save room, near the Central Hall.
- Then make your way to the Blood Lab and interact with the Blood Analyzer or laser microscope. The same Blood Analyzer we used to complete the Blood Specimen Reversible Analyzer Puzzle.
- After interacting with the machine, from the item box, select the Severed Hand. The atom puzzle will begin
Puzzle Description: We just have to turn the cube atoms into red cubes. We only have three chances to turn all of them red.

- First: Interact with the atom cube on the far left.
- Second: Interact with the atom cube in the middle.
- Third: Interact with the atom cube on the far right.
The puzzle will then be completed with cryptic letters appearing at the bottom of the screen.
- GGC/ AAG/ AUA/ ACG/ UGU/ CAU
It translates to “Glycine Lysine Isoleucine Threonine Cytosine Histidine” or “GLITCH“. Thanks to the redditor The_Synth_Potato, we now know the breakdown of each of the code or RNA Codons on the screen.
- G stands for Sun
- Found on the side of the Blood Analyzer in the Blood Room, G = 150000000.
- U stands for Moon
- Found on the Hourglass at Victor’s office, U= 380,000.
- C stands for Star
- Found on Grace’s blood analysis file, C = 4.2 light-years.
Solving the Secret Code

Once you know the code, make your way to the Lead Researcher’s Office on the second floor of the Care Center. Here, interact with the machine under the locker next to the desk to start the easter egg.
Sequence:
Here we have Sun, Moon, and Star; we must press the buttons sequentially to play the easter egg. The code goes:
Sun> Sun> Star> Sun> Moon> Star> Sun> Moon> Sun> Moon> Star> Moon
- First: Interact with the Sun button twice.
- Second: Hit the Star button once.
- Third: Hit the Sun button once.
- Fourth: Hit the Moon button once.
- Fifth: Hit the Star button once
- Sixth: Hit the Sun button once.
- Seventh: Hit the Moon button once.
- Eight: Hit the Sun button once.
- Ninth: Hit the Moon button once.
- Ten: Hit the Star button once.
- Eleventh: Hit the Moon button once.
After pressing the buttons in the right order, you will hear the laughter in the background.
