You’ve Found Him!
This is a cross-chapter replay chain, not a single-room pickup. The first clock clue currently conflicts between published sources, so the local guide does not present one time as universally correct.

- Return to Waking up Aldous and test the clock clue for your platform/version.

Version note: current guides disagree between 3:05 and 4:05 for the first clock. Verify against your current build.
