Rust, Tunnels, and Terror: The Ultimate Guide to Party’s Over in Crime Scene Cleaner Nightmare
In the harrowing chaos of Crime Scene Cleaner: Nightmare Mode, few missions will test your nerves and attention to detail quite like "Party's Over." This twisted labyrinth of shadows, ruined remnants of a forgotten celebration, and psychological pressure pushes players to the edge. And if you're looking to snag the elusive music box disc, tucked away in one of the eeriest corners of the map, then prepare to earn it. This walkthrough gives you the ultimate breakdown—not only on where to find the Rusty Key and the disc, but also how to avoid pitfalls that leave many players bewildered.
Let’s get into the haunted details of this musical nightmare.
Starting Point: Arriving at the Scene
You spawn beside your vehicle, the van that has long served as both sanctuary and symbol of the unspeakable tasks ahead. As your boots crunch the gravel beneath, you’ll notice something off right away—your path is obstructed. A nearby building door, which ought to lead directly into the disc room, is sealed shut. That's your first obstacle.
No disc. No access. No progress.
But this isn’t just a setback—it’s a breadcrumb trail, subtly nudging you toward the next piece of the puzzle: the key.
Locating the Rusty Key: Follow the Forgotten Path
Your next goal is simple in theory: find the Rusty Key. But the developers tucked it away with devilish intent, forcing players to take a detour into danger. Here’s how to find it:
Creep Through the Corridor of Dread
From the spawn point, turn away from the blocked door and head down the crumbling stairwell to your left. As you descend, the environment shifts—debris litters the floor, and the silence grows heavy.
Once you reach the lower level:
Turn left, hugging the shadows of the collapsed hallway
Crouch under a broken beam (watch out for flickering lights here—an ominous sign of who or what might be watching)
Then, almost absurdly innocent in its placement, you’ll find a moth-eaten pillow on the ground.
Beneath it? The Rusty Key.
It’s more than a tool. It’s an invitation.
Backtrack with Caution: Returning to the Locked Door
Key in hand, the temptation to sprint back might be overwhelming. But this is Nightmare Mode, and haste invites horror.
As you retrace your steps:
Listen carefully for audio cues—footsteps, whispers, the distant clang of metal
If you hear anything unnatural, crouch and wait
Make your way to the once-sealed door and use the Rusty Key to unlock it. The sound of the click feels triumphant, but don't get too comfortable. What lies beyond is far worse.
Into the Tunnel: Shadows, Corners, and Claustrophobia
Once the door swings open, you’re met with a narrow passage that spirals deeper into darkness. This is the tunnel segment—a crooked artery of the building's underbelly that makes your skin crawl.
To proceed:
Turn right immediately upon entry
Keep your flashlight off unless absolutely necessary
The Trap of Overlooking Corners
Many players hit a wall here because they don’t realize there’s a hidden turn. When the path seems to end, don’t double back—look closely to the right. There’s a tight bend that leads to an even more suffocating corridor. That’s your real path.
And that's when the real fun begins.
The William Tell Encounter: Music Meets Madness
As you edge around the final corner, you'll hear it—a faint musical hum. It's warped, as if underwater, and it signals one thing: you’re close to the music box disc.
But you're not alone.
Who is William Tell?
In this context, William Tell isn’t a person. It’s the name of the track—a mocking callback to cheerful classical music, warped and repurposed as a horror motif. When it begins to play, the room seems to pulse with dread.
And there, nestled on an old pedestal beneath a cracked spotlight, lies the Music Box Disc.
Pick it up and prepare to run.
Because once the disc is looted, you may trigger a chase or event depending on the version you’re playing. Either way, don’t linger.
Escape Strategy: Don't Just Survive—Disappear
Once you've secured the disc, the mission isn't over. Getting out is just as vital. Retrace your route through the tunnel, avoid distractions, and keep your ears open. New hazards may emerge on your way out.
Remember:
Do not explore side rooms unless you’re 100% confident
Time your sprints between moments of calm
Reach the starting area, make it back to your van, and only then will the nightmare end.
Pro Tips for Surviving "Party's Over" Nightmare Mode
Even seasoned players slip up on this level. Here are some rare but critical tactics to make your run smoother:
Master the Audio Landscape
The game subtly warns you of threats through sound—flickering lights, shifting debris, echoing footsteps. If you play with headphones, you can often predict danger before you see it.
Avoid the "False Confidence Trap"
After unlocking the Rusty Key door, the game lulls you into thinking the hard part is over. That’s when players rush, miss the tunnel turn, or walk into scripted scares.
Memorize the Layout
Replay the mission once or twice in normal mode to memorize the key areas. Nightmare Mode demands muscle memory.
Alternate Path? Rumors, Secrets, and Speculation
There have been whispers in the community of a hidden alternate path that lets players bypass the tunnel entirely. While unconfirmed by developers, several speedrunners claim there's a breakable wall near the starting stairwell that leads to a maintenance shaft.
Could this be true? If you're feeling bold, it may be worth experimenting.
Final Thoughts: Music in the Madness
"Party's Over" is more than a mission. It's a twisted dance between exploration, puzzle-solving, and sheer psychological survival. The music box disc is just one small artifact in a world teeming with narrative fragments and eerie ambiance, but it represents something much bigger: triumph in a world rigged for failure.
Whether you’re collecting it for story progression, trophy hunting, or the sheer satisfaction of completion, this guide should give you every edge to conquer the mission with confidence.
Take it slow. Trust your instincts. And when the music starts playing—run.
