Bunk Room Walkthrough

Walkthrough for Symmetry and Sinthia's shared Bunk Room in The Mermaid Mask: crew interviews, pig safe puzzle setup, and payroll clue handoff.

The shared Bunk Room aboard the Mortuga Submarine houses Symmetry Silkmoth and Sinthia—unlocking only after you speak with both in the Child's Room and Control Room respectively. Into Indie Games' July 16 submarine guide documents this corridor as the bridge between upper-deck family clues and mid-deck financial puzzles. This page covers verified launch-week steps: baseline interviews, the ceramic pig safe puzzle, and magnetic letter foreshadowing from the Child's Room fridge.

Access & Interview Order

  1. Symmetry first pass: Complete Child's Room card lens puzzle and present cauldron rubbing before bunk access—Symmetry redirects you here after Control Room log discovery.
  2. Sinthia Control Room: Finish switchboard plugs and read the duty roster; Sinthia unlocks the bunk door once both crew members have baseline dialogue.
  3. Shared bunk sweep: Inspect posters, shared locker, and wall-mounted pig assembly before attempting numeric alignment.
  4. Payroll handoff: Pig safe contents feed Cargo Hold pinboard timing and Madam Tadpole wellness ledger questions.

Pig Safe Puzzle Overview

The wall-mounted pig safe asks players to rotate porcelain body segments until red-ink silhouettes form readable digits—a design echoed by magnetic letters discovered earlier in the Child's Room. Five segments (snout, ears, torso, legs, tail) snap onto a backlit grid; each limb you move should sum to the target number etched beside its window. Grimoire and Sally escalate hints on failed attempts per hint system rules. See the dedicated piggy bank numbers solution for segment orientation screenshots verified against KosGuides and Into Indie Games launch-week coverage.

Exiting the Bunk Room with locker contents unlocked lets you revisit crew interviews with payroll evidence—critical before solving the Cargo Hold pinboard or accusing suspects lacking documentation. Track hotspots on Evidence Checklist under Bunk Rooms section.

Does the pig safe reset?
Once solved, the locker stays open for the campaign unless a future patch changes revisit rules.
Is the pig puzzle required for story progress?
