Tricky Story: Normal Story Level 72 Walkthroughs & Guide

Tricky Story: Normal Level 72 — Help the girl go to the bathroom Guide Overview

You remember those point-and-click games from the nineties where you had to solve a ridiculous problem in an even more ridiculous way? This level is exactly that. A girl needs to use the bathroom, but everything is working against her — a capybara with a weirdly placed butt, a cockroach that sends her screaming, and a peeping Tom at the window. The sequence feels random until you realize Anna's emotional state drives every move. Normal Story Level 72 throws ten distinct actions at you, but each one answers a specific fear or need. Let me break down the logic so you don't waste time dragging the wrong item first.

Pattern Overview

The level simulates cleaning a bathroom while managing Anna's anxiety about privacy, pests, and dirt.

The Emotional Sequence

• Capybara Before Toilet Cleaning: Anna cannot focus on scrubbing while a giant rodent wanders loose — she needs the space emptied first.
• Cockroach Before Plunger: The roach terrifies her more than the dirty bowl. Removing the immediate threat calms her enough to handle the toilet.
• Stain Before Bottle Cap: The visible filth on the floor bothers her visually. Scrubbing that stain satisfies her need for order before addressing the capybara's exposed rear.
• Newspaper Before Window Tape: Anna worries about being watched. Covering the window comes first; taping it shut secures the privacy.
• Girl Before Toilet Paper: She cannot use the supplies until she enters the stall. The sequence respects physical movement — get her inside, then hand her what she needs.
• Curtain Last: The final layer of privacy. Anna closes herself off completely after everything else is ready.

Why This Level Feels Tricky

Normal Story Level 72 trips players up for two reasons:

• The capybara appears twice. You use the hand to chase it away early, then later you need a bottle cap to cover its butt. Most people forget the capybara returns, so they skip the bottle cap until they hit a dead end.
• The newspaper-and-tape pair is easy to reverse. You can tape the newspaper to the window before you drag the newspaper there — but the game requires the newspaper to reach the window first. That order feels counterintuitive if you think logically about attaching something.

My "Aha!" Moment

I kept trying to clean the toilet first because it looked the dirtiest. But every time I pulled the plunger, nothing happened — Anna refused to use it. I assumed the game wanted me to unclog the bowl immediately. After the fourth failed attempt, I noticed the capybara in the corner and the cockroach skittering across the floor. That's when I understood: the game follows Anna's emotional priorities, not physical logic. Normal Story Level 72 forces you to address her fears in sequence — safety from animals, then cleanliness, then privacy. Once I shifted my thinking from "what needs fixing" to "what is Anna afraid of right now," every step made sense.

Step 1. Chase the Capybara

Normal Story Level 72 opens with the capybara wandering near the toilet. Anna's first thought is "Chase the capybara away" — she cannot relax while an animal roams the bathroom. Drag the hand icon to the capybara. The rodent scurries off (temporarily). This step establishes the rule: resolve immediate threats before tackling mess. If you skip this, Anna's anxiety stays high, and none of the cleaning tools respond.

Step 2. Unclog the Toilet

With the capybara gone, Anna mutters "The toilet is too dirty." Now grab the plunger. Normal Story Level 72 expects you to drag the plunger to the toilet — but only after the hand has cleared the capybara. The plunger sits near the bowl, easy to miss against the white porcelain. Once applied, the toilet drains. This step enables the next because Anna now sees a clean-ish bowl, which lowers her repulsion enough to deal with the cockroach.

Step 3. Kill the Cockroach

The cockroach crawls near the baseboard, visible only if you look for movement. Anna's inner monologue says "The cockroach is so scary." Slide the slipper onto the roach. Normal Story Level 72 uses this step to remove the second biggest fear. The roach disappears instantly. Without this, Anna refuses to enter the stall — she is too frightened. After the roach dies, she can focus on the remaining dirt.

Step 4. Scrub the Stain

A dark stain marks the floor near the toilet. Anna thinks "The toilet bowl is too dirty," but the stain is equally upsetting. Drag the brush to the stain. It fades away. Normal Story Level 72 makes you clean the floor before the bowl because the stain is visible while she stands, and the bowl requires her to be seated. This step also builds momentum — she feels progress after three actions.

Step 5. Cover the Capybara's Butt

The capybara returns and sits with its rear exposed near the toilet. Anna thinks "Cover the capybara's butt." Find the bottle cap on the floor or shelf — it's small and easy to overlook. Drag it to the capybara's rear. The capybara becomes "decent." Normal Story Level 72 inserts this step to maintain Anna's sense of modesty. Without a covered capybara, she cannot undress to use the toilet.

Step 6. Cover the Window

Anna's thought "Someone is peeping" reveals her next fear. Grab the newspaper from the rack or floor. Drag it to the window. The paper sticks temporarily. Normal Story Level 72 wants the newspaper in place before any tape application. If you try to tape first, the tape has nothing to attach to. The newspaper acts as a temporary curtain — enough to block the view briefly.

Step 7. Tape the Newspaper

Now take the tape roll — it sits on the sink or counter. Normal Story Level 72 requires you to drag the tape to the newspaper on the window. The tape secures the newspaper permanently. This step seals Anna's privacy. She now has visual cover, which calms her fear of being watched.

Step 8. Send the Girl Inside

Anna is ready. Drag the girl icon (the little character representing her) toward the toilet. She walks into the stall. Normal Story Level 72 uses this step to progress location — she must be physically inside before she can use any supplies. If you drag toilet paper first, nothing happens.

Step 9. Hand Her Toilet Paper

The toilet paper roll hangs beside the stall. Drag it to the girl inside the stall. Anna takes it. This step feels obvious, but Normal Story Level 72 makes you wait until after she enters — otherwise she isn't in range. The paper gives her the means to clean herself.

Step 10. Close the Curtain

The final action: drag the curtain (usually hanging loose at the stall entrance) to the girl. The curtain slides shut. Normal Story Level 72 ends this sequence with a privacy barrier. Anna can now use the bathroom in peace. The curtain closes as the last step because everything else — clean bowl, no pests, covered window, toilet paper — is already ready.

The Logic Behind It

Normal Story Level 72 solves through emotional prioritization: fear of animals > dirt > privacy > preparation for use. You process Anna's anxieties in order, not the items' locations or sizes.

Final Scene Description

When I finished, I watched the curtain slide across the stall. The capybara stayed put with its bottle cap in place. The cockroach was gone. The newspaper taped to the window fluttered slightly. Normal Story Level 72 ended with Anna finally alone in a clean, private space — but I could still see her hand reaching for the toilet paper through the gap in the curtain. That small detail made the whole ridiculous sequence feel earned.
