Riverside is the east side of Silver Pines, across the bridge from Market Street, and the only part of town that leads into the Sheriff's Office. In the full game's files it holds 18 rooms and 48 map areas with 39 items, documents and containers, two keys and one code lock.
For every area in order, start at the Silver Pines walkthrough; for everything else on the game, see the Silver Pines guide hub.

In the game's map data the Sheriff's Office connects to nowhere but Riverside: both its Lobby and its Backlot open onto Outside the Sheriff's Office. Whatever you need inside the station, the trip starts here, and two things stand in the way.
The junkyard gate. The Gate Key is in Dana's Repair Shop. The game describes it as the "Key to the rear exit of the Riverside Junkyard", and it opens the way from the junkyard to Outside the Sheriff's Office.
The keypad. The front doors take a code. The game files give this lock a fixed code, so it is the same in every save; you will find it on the puzzle solutions page under Riverside.
Walkthroughs and launch-day playthroughs all get the code in game the same way. Look inside the police car parked behind the station and note how its radio is set; that radio is too damaged to answer. Then take the flashlight through the dark Tunnel to a truck whose radio still works, set it the same way, and a deputy answers and reads out the code for the front doors. The radio setting is listed with the puzzles without a code.
Walkthroughs also open a padlocked door west of the station that leads back to the Riverside entrance. It saves a long walk once you are going in and out of the Sheriff's Office.
This page stops at the front doors; the rooms, keys and puzzles inside the station are in the Silver Pines Sheriff's Office guide.
| Item | Where it is | What it opens or does | The game's description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gate Key | Dana's Repair Shop | The gate from the junkyard to Outside the Sheriff's Office | Key to the rear exit of the Riverside Junkyard. |
| Bathroom Key | Wing Oil Gas Station | The Toilet, from the yard behind the gas station | Key to restroom at the Wing Oil gas station. It has a hefty wooden block attached to it. |
| Flashlight | The workshop behind the Wing Oil office | Lights dark places such as the Tunnel | A pocket flashlight. Turn on to illuminate your surroundings. Uses batteries. |
Walkthroughs report that the gas station's front door stays shut until you switch on the power at the electrical box in the yard behind it, where you can already see the flashlight through a gap in a shutter. Once you pick it up, the workshop door locks behind you and two enemies come in.
Without a light, the Tunnel stops you with the message "It's too dark to continue", and one launch-day playthrough hits the same message at another dark spot by the gas station. The flashlight runs on batteries, so keep a spare when you can.
Items and documents use the game's own English names. Containers are listed by count only, because what a container holds varies. Every point below is also on the Silver Pines interactive map, where you can filter and tick them off.
The Ship Manual Page document and two containers. Players report a payphone here that saves the game, and the Riverside map on a notice board up the stairs beside it.
A Bottle, 12ga Buckshot and two containers.
The Blade, Duct Tape and Spare Parts.
The Repair Kit Note document, Spare Parts, Duct Tape, a Soda, a .44 Magnum Cartridge and two containers. The game describes Spare Parts as parts that "can be COMBINED with other items", and walkthroughs put them together with Duct Tape into a repair kit. Players also find a diamond-shaped crank slot here that they can't use on a first visit; the game's Crank Handle has a diamond-shaped end and lies in Church Hill.
The Gate Key, 12ga Buckshot and one container. In the back room: the Hula Figurine memento, Spare Parts and two containers. Guides describe a coffee machine behind a padlocked door in the back room that raises your maximum stamina, and the developers have said the stamina bar shows when you drink coffee. The game describes the Hula Figurine as "Parts still moving, smooth, unhindered."; one launch-day playthrough found that it makes dodging cost less stamina and picked it up on a later visit.
Magnetic Slugs and one container.
Outside Wing Oil: a Bottle and one container. In the yard behind the gas station: one container. Inside the Wing Oil Gas Station: the Bathroom Key, a Soda and two containers. In the Wing Oil office: a Bottle and one container; players report a phone there that saves the game. In the workshop behind it: the Flashlight. In a spot by the gas station with no map name: Spare Parts.
The Hip Bag, which the game says adds two slots to your inventory. Walkthroughs report one stall is occupied and that you cut through a fabric wall with the Boxcutter to reach the bag.
The Tunnel has no items, but it holds one of Riverside's two wind chimes; the other is in a part of Riverside with no map name, which also has one container. Players knock the chimes down for Memento Vessel Shards, and the game describes the repaired Memento Vessel as something you "Consume to equip additional mementos."
A third Riverside document, Newspaper: Musician Linked to Missing Person, has no spot on the map in the game files.
Player walkthroughs and launch-day playthroughs take much the same path through Riverside:
You first reach Riverside through a locked gate on Market Street in Downtown, according to walkthroughs. It opens with the Riverside Bridge Key, which the game describes as the "Key to the Riverside Bridge on Market St." and places in the Cable Car Station. After that, the game's map data connects Riverside to three areas:
The map data does not say whether a connection is a door, a ladder or a cutscene, or whether it opens from your side the first time you reach it.
The order through Riverside and the radio steps come from walkthroughs written on a pre-release build and from playthroughs posted on launch day. All of them agree, but a patch can change a route or a puzzle, and this page is checked against the game files again after each patch.
Three things are still open: what the Warehouse crank slot opens, where the newspaper is picked up, and whether the Hula Figurine can be reached on your first visit to Dana's Repair Shop.
Through the keypad doors at Outside the Sheriff's Office, reached with the Gate Key from Dana's Repair Shop. Walkthroughs report that a deputy gives you the code over the truck radio in the Tunnel; the number is on the puzzle solutions page.
In the workshop behind the Wing Oil office at the Wing Oil Gas Station in Riverside, according to the game files. Turn on the power in the yard behind the gas station first.
Through the locked gate on Market Street in Downtown, with the Riverside Bridge Key from the Cable Car Station.
Yes. The game files give the front door keypad a fixed code rather than one that changes per save.
