Bureau of Reclaimed Spaces

LobbyEdit

The lobby consists of a small dock with a reception desk and a waiting area. Niches in the walls contain clusters of television sets, each depicting different scenes. The Bureau of Secret Tourism's phone, answering machine, and brochures sit on the waiting area coffee table.

Hermit crabs congregate along the edges of the dock during Will's organ performance. Many have repurposed office supplies as shells.

First floor (clerks' offices)Edit

The clerks' offices are a relatively average office space — desks, computers, stacks of paperwork. Lula Chamberlain, Rebecca Metzstein, Ed Böhm, and Ellen MacMillan can be found working at their desks while Rick idles beside the elevator.

Second floor (conference room)Edit

The conference room has a projector screen and a table of employees that watch Conway and Shannon as they pass. There's also a water cooler, coffee, and food. In the back is a small kitchen.

On a ledge across from this floor, Will can be found grilling crab beside a large pipe organ. If the player watches him, he will begin playing "Bureau of Reclaimed Spaces", and lights throughout the building will dim.

Once the lights are out, the conference begins a slideshow of "obscure corners of nameless interiors, astronomical diagrams projecting the distances between celestial bodies, a painting by Giorgio de Chirico, a list of 'unpopular anagrams.'"

Third floor (bears)Edit

The third floor is occupied by a group of bears that may have previously lived near the town. They sit among stacks of buckets, watching Conway and Shannon as they pass.

Fourth floor (archives and records)Edit

The fourth floor is crammed with tall stacks of filing boxes containing records beginning with A, B, C, D, E, and F. All other records are stored in unit C315 of the Random Access Self Storage facility.

Fifth floor (diagrams and drafts)Edit

Greg can be found working on the top floor. Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 plays on a skipping record in the corner.
