There's actually an even easier way to unlock this level in the original game. I tested it and it works in the remake as well. 1. Interact with the swingset outside Kate's House until the "I remember playing on this swingset with Kate when we were kids." text appears. 2. Go inside the house and interact with the piano until it plays the first few notes of "No Friends" and the "This sounds familiar" text appears. 3. Go back outside and walk up towards the Charlie Matheson Jr. poster. This instantly unlocks the secret level. Edit: Okay so upon investigation, interacting with the swingset, the piano until the notes from No Friends plays, and walking up to the Charlie poster was ALWAYS the intended way to unlock the secret. Exiting the level and going up to the Charlie poster three times is simply correlation, as it was a bug in the original version that was patched in Anniversary Edition. I checked the original game's source code and I can confirm it, as the "POI_swingset", "POI_piano" and "POI_charlie" cases are the only ones to call for "StartCoroutine(LoadSecret());". "POI_charlie" sets this to true, so I assume this is part of what caused the bug in the original game.

So uh what was the story on the poster overlapping slender? As a kid I always took it as Charles becoming slender. But wasnt the case right? Just implied charles became a proxy?
my guess is that charlie was a picture of a real child back then. Since they show a picture of the Mathesons in the new chapter, it also made them change his Poster with the new 'game' version

Im glad it actually works in this one, unlike the original where the game would just crash…..

I play on ps4 and i keep getting kicked out of the game, can anyone give me advice on what to do?
So uh what was the story on the poster overlapping slender? As a kid I always took it as Charles becoming slender. But wasnt the case right? Just implied charles became a proxy?
Why do you think they changed Charlie's face?
my guess is that charlie was a picture of a real child back then. Since they show a picture of the Mathesons in the new chapter, it also made them change his Poster with the new 'game' version
5:30 OMG You can see him slowly walking towards you
this lowkey scarier than into the abyss
Help for instant dead achivement ?
Play the eight pages one, on hard difficulty, pick up one page and run into slender
So everyone i have learned it does let you continue playing unlike the original
Yes, that's right
Is there any lore as to what this level is supposed to mean? Was charlie slender man? Or is slender mans proxy?
йоу спасибо стримеру
It's not working for me, did this 3 times. I'm on the PS5
did you pick up any items while at home?
No and I made sure I didn't
@@TheNiceGuy71 well, I can't help you since I don't have ps5, sorry
I'm working on xbox
@disskadenisska I see the confusion now, this whole time I picked up the paper instead of walking towards it
does it still brick your game?
Not anymore
What happens if you do it on the original?
@@TrickedZap Your game gets bricked and you have to delete your save
@@TrickedZap you won't be able to play until you reset the game
