Estate Basement

The Estate Basement  is the bottom floor of The Estate, below the lobby and Mr. Morton's office. It is only accessible by two elevators, one of which requires a special key and the other which is hidden behind a bookshelf, both of them only for the intended use of Mr. Morton.

In the Game
Victor Neff enters the basement in the second chapter, taking the hidden elevator from Mr. Morton's bedroom. It then closes off and is unusable for the rest of the game, forcing Victor to get the elevator key for the primary one instead. It has three rooms, one of which is empty. This empty room leads to the room housing the Dream Machine. When Victor first enters he finds Mr. Morton arguing with the Machine, before he falls asleep. Two helmets on the wall allow Victor to enter Mr. Morton's dream, linking them both in the Dreamscape.

The third room is locked behind a door requiring a hand print. This room is Mr. Morton's base of operations, with a map of the Dreamscape, monitors for the Estate's many security cameras and the gas dispenser that puts the Estate residents to sleep.
