Protocol Games and Raiser Games have released the third episode for their multi-part horror series, Song of Horror Episode 3. If you picked up a copy of the game but you’re finding yourself getting stuck in certain segments or you need some help solving some puzzles without wanting to risk killing off your favorite character due to the permadeath feature, well then you’ve come to the right place.
Before getting into the nitty gritty, if you’re having trouble getting to Episode 3, be sure to check out the walkthrough guide for Song of Horror: Episode 1 and Song of Horror: Episode 2.
With that measure of housecleaning out of the way, let’s dive into Song of Horror: Episode 3.
YouTuber CJUGames updated his ongoing playlist for the Song of Horror walkthrough, capturing the first half of the episode, which you can check out in the video below.
