Escaping from the Penthouse of Horrors

Nemo continues his attempts to escape from the luxury high-rise apartment.

Trapped with No Supplies or Support

• After disabling the alarm, Nemo discovers that there is no running water or gas in the apartment.

• He resorts to breaking down furniture and using it as tools while searching for weak points in doors and walls.

• Eventually, he manages to create an opening large enough for him to climb through and escape.

Nemo's Escape Plan

Nemo is trapped in an apartment with no obvious way out. He needs to keep himself cool, find drinkable water, and figure out a way to escape.

Nemo's Situation

• Nemo entered the apartment via helicopter through an outdoor patio on the building's roof.

• The sliding door that he came in through closed and sealed them in.

• The only other way out of the apartment is through the front door but it seems to be sealed with an electric lock that must be connected to the damaged security system.

• With his only two exits sealed off, Nemo's stranded in there with no obvious way out and he's going to have to get creative if he wants to escape.

• Nemo was quickly abandoned by his team leaving him to fend for himself.

Dangers of Heat Stroke

• Overexposure to extremely high temperatures can cause cramps, dizziness, fainting, and in the worst cases will eventually lead to heat stroke.

• Once the outside temperatures reach 90 degrees Fahrenheit heat stroke becomes a threat to anyone who's exposed for long.

• More than half of the most severe cases of heat stroke end up fatal even with medical treatment.

Goals for Survival

• Keep himself cool by shutting or blocking any vents that he can reach. Take breaks as often as possible while chipping away at the door. Use indoor pool or stick his head in freezer when needed.

• Find clean drinking water since water line has been shut off since owner is gone for extended trip. Ration whatever water he can find in the refrigerator. Collect water from indoor garden if plants are real and there is a built-in sprinkler system.

• Figure out a way to make his escape by chipping away at the door or finding another exit.

Flawed Exit Plan

Nemo, the professional art thief, failed to ensure a flawless exit plan before worrying about anything else. He ends up trapped in the apartment with limited options for escape.

Limited Escape Options

• Nemo failed to block open the sliding door he entered through, which could have shut at any moment and seal him in.

• The glass windows are made of strong heat-treated glass that is difficult to break.

• Nemo tries to shatter the glass by targeting its weakest points with a pointed metal object but only gets as far as the roof.

• There is no manual override for the electrical lock on the reinforced door leading outside.

Trapped and Desperate

Nemo's situation becomes more desperate as he struggles to find a way out of the apartment.

No Means of Communication or Escape

• The temperature rises above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, making it unbearable for Nemo.

• The phone line is dead, and there is no internet connection.

• Nemo tries to break the long glass window using heavy billiard ball-like sculptures but fails.

• He notices a skylight in the ceiling and decides that if he can get to it, he might be able to escape.

Constructing an Escape Tower

Nemo constructs an escape tower using furniture and other objects found in the apartment.

Building an Escape Tower

• Nemo drags furniture across the room to construct a massive tower, using the heaviest objects as its base.

• He finds an ice cube tray in the freezer and devours it to quench his thirst.

• Nemo reinforces the structure of the tower with straps of cloth from chairs.

• The skylight is still out of reach, and Nemo spends another evening in his unlikely prison.

Conclusion

Despite making some progress, Nemo's chances of escape are slim. He spends another night trapped in the apartment.

Hopeless Situation

• Nemo's situation remains dire, and he is no closer to finding a way out of the apartment.

Nemo's Escape Plan

Nemo tries to escape from the skyscraper by constructing a tower to the Skylight and drawing blueprints for it. He also searches for food, water, and a way to cool down.

Constructing the Tower

• Nemo constructs a tower towards the Skylight as his escape plan.

• The plan seems doubtful since he will be stuck on the roof with no way to get down.

• He spends time building and reinforcing his structure using furniture from the apartment.

Searching for Food, Water, and Cooling

• Nemo searches for food in the kitchen but can't find a can opener.

• He cuts his hand while trying to open a can with a knife and washes it in the pool since there is no running water.

• He finds semi-edible food in a locked freezer door that he pries open with a statue.

• Nemo cools off by laying under sprinklers in the garden after they finally come on.

• The control panel starts pumping cold air into the apartment, providing some relief from the heat.

Jasmine's Appearance

Nemo sees an employee named Jasmine through security cameras and tries to call out to her but she doesn't hear him.

Seeing Jasmine

• Nemo sees Jasmine through security cameras while she is outside of his penthouse door.

• He desperately knocks on the door but she doesn't hear him due to wearing headphones and vacuuming.

Exhaustion Sets In

Nemo becomes exhausted and starts to lose his grip on reality.

Losing His Grip

• Nemo becomes exhausted and lays down on the cold floor to sleep for another night.

• He laughs and cries to himself as his grip on reality starts to slip away.

Proper First Aid Treatment

Nemo injures his hand and washes it in the pool, but experts say that chlorine will prevent him from building new tissue. He should have looked for first aid supplies to properly treat the injury.

First Aid Treatment

• Nemo dunks his hand into the pool to wash the wound.

• Chlorine will actually prevent him from building new tissue causing delayed healing and increased risk of infection.

• Nemo should have looked around the bathroom for any first aid supplies to properly treat the injury.

Food and Water Sources

Finding food in a locked freezer and collecting water from sprinklers are two significant things that Nemo has going for him.

Rationing Food

• Properly rationed food should keep him going for a long time.

• Emo collects all of the water in a bunch of bowls that he's already set up, filters out any dirt or stems, gathers all of the clean water into a jug, and takes a swig from the bottle.

Collecting Water

• If he comes up with a system to collect sprinkler water, he'll have a constant source that's safe to drink.

Breaking Skylight Glass

Nemo tries to break open the reinforced skylight by attacking its edges where glass is weakest using hard pointed objects like kitchen utensils or sculptures.

Breaking Skylight Glass

• Nemo should find a hard pointed object like a kitchen utensil or the sculpture that he used to break into the fridge and do his best to attack the Skylight around its edges where the glass is weakest.

• Nemo takes some tools that he found in the kitchen and starts to slowly chip away at the frame of the Skylight using goggles to keep falling dust out of his eyes.

Attempting to Get Help

Nemo tries to get help by shouting through the door, chipping away at it, and making noise.

Getting Help

• The maintenance woman is in the hall right outside of the door but cannot hear him due to her headphones and vacuum being too noisy.

• If he could chip away at the door revealing more of the steel frame, he could bang against it with something that would make enough noise to catch her attention.

• He needs to fool them with a story that he was just a maintenance man who got trapped inside and sneak away in confusion before anyone starts asking too many questions.

Surviving Another Night

Nemo has survived another night but now has to deal with freezing temperatures.

Surviving Another Night

• The hot air may have finally shut off providing Nemo with a moment of relief but now instead of heat stroke, he'll have to try and stop himself from freezing to death.

• He makes himself a nice meal with good food from freezer, enjoys a glass of wine by the side of the pool, and watches more security camera footage on the television.

Securing Skylight with Steel Bolts

Nemo realizes that the skylight is secured with steel bolts that he doesn't have proper tools to remove.

Securing Skylight

• The computer panel shows that the temperature in the apartment is still dropping.

• Nemo realizes with dismay that it's secured on with steel bolts that he doesn't have the proper tool to remove.

Nemo's Escape Plan

Nemo tries to escape from the apartment by chipping away at the Skylight and searching for tools. He discovers a hidden passageway, finds a strange manuscript, and encounters a rubber dummy in a mysterious chamber. Nemo also comes up with survival ideas such as putting bowls under sprinklers for clean drinking water and making goggles out of broken glass.

Chipping Away at the Skylight

• Nemo covers the entire apartment in dust while chipping away at the frame of the Skylight.

• The glass is held into its frame by several thick metal bolts, but he's going to need to find out a way to get those bolts off so that he can escape.

Searching for Tools

• Nemo breaks into a locked closet and finds some jackets. Behind them, he pulls back a false panel revealing a hidden stone passageway.

• If he fails to find a toolbox, there's always the option of trying to create a tool out of some of the stuff he finds around the house.

Discovering Hidden Chamber

• Inside the hidden passageway, Nemo finds what appears to be an old man's body placed on an altar. After squeezing its face, he realizes it's just a rubber dummy.

• On its chest, he finds "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell," which is an old manuscript.

• The tunnel got his hopes up that he was about to uncover something crazy or at least something that would have given him more inspiration for how to escape but no such luck.

Survival Ideas

• Nemo puts bowls under the sprinklers to have access to clean drinking water on a regular basis.

• He makes goggles out of the broken glass face to keep the dust and debris out of his eyes.

Jasmine's Return

• Jasmine is right outside of the apartment door once again, but she can't hear him since she has her headphones in and the vacuum is running.

• Nemo tries to slip a note under the door, but it won't fit. No matter how loud he screams, she can't seem to hear him.

Overall, Nemo continues his escape plan by chipping away at the Skylight and searching for tools. He discovers a hidden passageway with a rubber dummy and an old manuscript. Additionally, he comes up with survival ideas such as putting bowls under sprinklers for clean drinking water and making goggles out of broken glass. However, Jasmine's return poses a challenge for Nemo's escape plan.

Nemo's Descent into Madness

Nemo is trapped in an apartment and tries to escape through the Skylight. He slowly loses his grip on reality as he runs out of food and water.

Attempting to Escape

• Nemo carves a makeshift tool from a chair leg to remove the Skylight bolts.

• He uses multiple tools, but they all break under pressure.

• During breaks, he catches a fish from the tank and lets it die on the floor. He also draws strange images on the wall.

• As time passes, he falls further into insanity.

Struggling to Survive

• The temperature in the apartment rises above 70 degrees Fahrenheit, making it harder for him to survive.

• Running out of things to eat, Nemo resorts to eating dog food and wearing art pieces as clothing.

• After falling from the top of the tower, he injures his leg badly.

Last-Ditch Efforts

• Jasmine appears in his hallucinations and disappears without touching him.

• With his leg now in a splint, Nemo disinfects a needle with alcohol and tries to stitch up his busted lip but gets attacked by the art collector who knocks him unconscious.

• Using paper pieces and magnifying glass he creates fire which sets off sprinklers all over the apartment.

• Despite screaming for help at the front door no one comes.

Overall, Nemo's descent into madness is marked by his attempts at escape followed by his struggle to survive. He resorts to eating dog food and wearing art pieces as clothing, and hallucinates about Jasmine. In the end, he sets off the sprinklers but is left alone in the flooded apartment.

Nemo's Last Resort

In this section, Nemo is injured and starts to experience hallucinations. He tries to escape from the apartment using different methods but fails. Finally, he writes a message on the wall and ascends the tower.

Starting a Fire

• Nemo starts a fire in the apartment hoping that emergency responders get there in time to get him out.

• This was one of two ideas for how to escape that he had from the beginning.

Lack of Response

• No one responds to the fire alarms or calls emergency services.

• The only other idea that Nemo hasn't tried yet is to make a big sign that says "please help me" on the windows and hope that somebody notices it.

Hallucinations

• While sitting in the dark, Nemo experiences hallucinations about the art collector's daughter and dog watching him through the window.

• With a new tool to remove bolts in his hand, Nemo staggers towards his little shrine raising his hands in front of his strange drawing before finally stopping to catch his breath.

Writing a Message

• Nemo goes to the front hall and writes a message on the wall thanking the art collector for letting him stay at his place but saying for him that it was more of a cage than a home.

• He apologizes for destroying the apartment but says that maybe it needed to be destroyed because there can be no creation without destruction.

Ascending The Tower

• The Skylight is finally opened but we're left wondering if he actually made it out or if he finally fell victim to The Madness of such extreme isolation.
