The game’s structure merges traditional room exploration with poetic text-based elements, providing an immersive experience that encourages players to engage deeply with their surroundings.

1. 3rd Floor Kirke Room: This upper floor location presents locked doors (left and right), symbolizing both literal and metaphorical barriers in Anna’s journey. These doors serve as a mechanism to build anticipation and guide the player towards later challenges in the game[1].

2. 3rd Floor Study: This room is rich with historical context and narrative significance. Filled with a desk cluttered with notes, sketches, and letters attributed to the character Korbinian Brodmann, the study, alongside a computer with a CRT screen and a portrait of the renowned artist Leonardo da Vinci, offers insight into the game’s intricate backstory and serves as a crucial site for solving puzzles that unveil deeper mysteries[2].

3. 3rd Floor Master’s Voice Room: A pivotal space containing a desk with a tape recorder that plays essential audio clues and messages. This room facilitates not only puzzle-solving but also pillars of the narrative, as it immerses players in the story’s context through auditory clues layered with suspense and intrigue[1][2].

4. Ground Floor Lobby: The entrance area sets the tone for the game, featuring a locked door and a computer. This computer is integral in unlocking a large steel door, an action that represents progression in the game while integrating elements of a security system that players must decode through the use of security camera outputs[2].

5. Garden, East Castle: As an external location adorned with classical statues, the garden serves as both a serene backdrop and a pathway in the narrative. It functions as a transitional space that allows players to reflect on the story while providing essential clues that guide them through their journey, blending the game’s beautiful auditory and visual elements[2][3].

6. The Lighthouse (Foot): This location is crucial for engaging with key puzzles that require players to enter passwords. The lighthouse is also tied to a significant narrative event, a funeral scene, that adds emotional weight to Anna’s quest and showcases the game’s ability to interlace gameplay with profound storytelling[3].

7. HAT’s Hideout / The Pier: Inspired by real-world locales in Malmö, this area introduces distinctive scenery featuring a pier, a silo, and the Berlin TV Tower. Appearing towards the latter stages of the game, HAT’s hideout represents the culmination of Anna’s journey, offering players a deep dive into the thematic conclusions of the narrative[7].

Each location in “Device 6” is meticulously designed to engage players and contribute to a larger narrative arc, filled with puzzles, clues, and emotional depth.
