Quick answer
The GENERAL STORE CODE note in the demo gives the rule 23 + current day of the month. Read the nearby wall calendar and use its day with 23. The four-digit keypad and reported code examples support reading this as a 23 prefix followed by the day, rather than ordinary addition. Do not assume a copied code is right for your run.
What you need
- The GENERAL STORE CODE note.
- The wall calendar in the General Store and access to the meat-locker keypad.
Step by step
- Read the note in the General Store. The recording shows the note and calendar at 15:57–16:58.
- Check the day of the month on your in-game wall calendar, not today’s real-world date.
- Form the code using the note’s fixed part, 23, followed by that day. This is the supported interpretation of the four-digit puzzle.
- Enter the result at the meat-locker keypad. If it fails, re-read the note and calendar in your own version before trying a code from elsewhere.
Common mistakes
This guide does not claim the exact calendar day seen in the recording or a universal fixed code. The note says the code changes daily, but the trigger for a date change and leading-zero rules are unconfirmed. The shotgun case uses a different combination.
