Tricky Story: Normal Story Level 25 Walkthroughs & Guide

Tricky Story: Normal Level 25 — Help Ethan rescue the cat Guide Overview

I remember scratching my head the first time I reached this level. You’ve got a boy lying in a hospital bed, and the game expects you to yank him out of a coma using everyday objects. No magic potions, no cryptic puzzles—just a photo, a window, a sock, and wine. What looked simple at first turned out to be a careful emotional sequence. Each item you touch triggers a piece of Anna’s inner monologue, and if you skip the order, nothing works. Let me walk you through the exact steps I used.

Pattern Overview

Normal Story Level 25 forces you to wake a comatose boy by provoking emotional reactions through physical and digital objects.

The Emotional Sequence

• Photo Before Window: Anna needs to see a memory of the girl and boy together before sunlight can hit his face.
• Sock Before Wine: A mild sensory stimulus (smell) must precede the shock of cold liquid.
• Wine Before Computer: Alcohol burns the skin before the anger of lost game items sets in.
• Computer Before Heart Monitor: Digital aggression prepares the body for the electric jolt of a defibrillator.
• Heart Monitor Before Phone: Physical shock must land before a voice—the mother’s—can break through.
• Phone Before Cabinet: Hearing Mom’s voice unlocks the hidden stash, which holds the final chemical solution.
• Cabinet Before IV Bottle: The blue bottle only becomes usable after the secret stash is revealed.

Why This Level Feels Tricky + The Key Insight

The first trap is that the level’s items look like random clutter—a photo, a sock, a bottle of wine. You might try the defibrillator early because it looks medical, but it does nothing without the emotional buildup. The second trap is the phone call: players often call the mom first, but she only responds after the heart monitor shocks him awake.

The Key Insight: I assumed the order was about medical logic—clear the airway, apply shock, then call for help. So I lifted the blanket, poured wine, and pulled the monitor buttons. Nothing happened. The boy stayed limp. What triggered the realization was reading Anna’s inner monologue after the photo touch: “If you don’t wake up, I will love him.” That’s jealousy, not medicine. Then I understood: Normal Story Level 25 sequences emotional triggers—jealousy, nostalgia, anger, shock, love—not physical recovery. The boy needs to feel something strong enough to pull him back.

Step 1. Memory Spark

Touch the photo of the girl and the boy together. This is the foundation—nothing works until you make Anna remember the relationship. Normal Story Level 25 opens with this because jealousy is the sharpest wake‑up call. You’ll hear her whisper, “If you don’t wake up, I will love him.” That sets the emotional stakes.

Step 2. Fresh Air

Open the window and see what happens. The breeze hits the boy’s face, and Anna mutters, “Add me on Facebook.” She’s trying to connect, but the boy remains still. Normal Story Level 25 expects you to let light and air in before any intense stimuli—this softens the sleeping mind.

Step 3. Scent Shock

Lift the blanket and put the boy’s sock on his face. The familiar smell triggers her response: “No! You must not love him!” Normal Story Level 25 uses scent as a low‑intensity prod. Without this step, the wine won’t have the right emotional contrast—he needs to be annoyed first.

Step 4. Cold Splash

Splash wine on the boy’s face. Anna gasps, “I’m still alive, stay away from her!” The cold shock after the sock’s warmth creates a jarring transition. Normal Story Level 25 places wine here because alcohol burns physically and emotionally—it’s an insult he can’t ignore.

Step 5. Digital Betrayal

Turn on the computer and delete the boy’s in-game items. This is pure psychological warfare. Anna’s inner voice screams, “Stop! Don’t touch my stuff!” Normal Story Level 25 understands that losing virtual property can hurt more than a slap. The boy’s fingers twitch—first sign of life.

Step 6. Electric Jolt

Pull the two buttons on the heart monitor to use it as a defibrillator. The shock makes Anna feel “electricity running through my body.” Normal Story Level 25 places the heart monitor after the emotional attacks—his heart needs something dramatic to restart. You’ll see his chest rise.

Step 7. Mother’s Voice

Open the boy’s phone and call his mom. The dial tone connects, and Anna hears, “Mom, I hear you!” Normal Story Level 25 reserves the phone call until after the defibrillator—he’s conscious enough to process sound. Her voice is the anchor that pulls him back.

Step 8. Hidden Secret

Open the cabinet to reveal the boy’s secret stash. Inside is the blue bottle—the final tool. Normal Story Level 25 hides the stash because the boy only reveals it after hearing his mom. Anna mutters, “Oh my God... that familiar smell...”—she recognizes the scent from the bottle.

Step 9. Chemical Cure

Pour the blue bottle into the boy’s IV bag. The liquid drips in, and Anna whispers, “What? Am I... dreaming?” Normal Story Level 25 saves the sedative (or stimulant) for last—it calm his mind after all the shocks. His eyes flutter open.

The Logic Behind It

Normal Story Level 25 is solved by layering emotional voltages: start with gentle memories, escalate to insults and physical shocks, then end with a calming voice and a chemical solution. You never guess the order—you listen to Anna’s monologue telling you what each action means.

Final Scene Description

When I finished, I watched the boy blink twice and turn his head toward the window. The sunlight caught the empty wine glass on the nightstand. Anna stood frozen, one hand on the IV tube. Normal Story Level 25 ends not with a grand explosion but with a slow, quiet breath—and the single tear rolling down the boy’s cheek as he whispers, “Mom, I heard you.”
