Xenobotany at eye level
At eye level, drawn from the game files.

The greenhouse: through the DECONTAMINATION ZONE in the present, behind a hook lock in Rockbury. Seeds, fertilisers and pots grow the plants, and a second time glass here swaps you between the eras. With the plants done and the battery bulb in hand, its exit takes you back to the main hall.

Each era holds whoever the time machine sent there, so who is where changes from checkpoint to checkpoint. The checkpoint menu's numbers: open a checkpoint for its steps in the walkthrough.

A puzzle that fills the whole room has no pin: its entry is marked with a frame instead, and so is the achievement for finishing it. Things you can first reach at a later checkpoint are dimmed.
