Escape games are fun and all, but don't you think they're best when they have the constant threat of painful demise? Kotorinosu is back for more with The Dangerous GEN-KAN 2, which, just like the original game, is packed with death everywhere you look, but don't worry... if you explode, fall to your doom, or otherwise become dearly departed, you can always just hit retry and be booted back to before your little... accident. See, you're locked in a place filled with danger both obvious, and, eh, trial-and-error, and finding a way out means figuring out what puzzles you need to solve, and what's just a big fat lethal red herring... when used incorrectly. Just click to navigate and interact, click an item in your inventory to highlight it for use, or an item's question mark to view it up close.
The Dangerous GEN-KAN 2 is less about your typical "use screwdriver yonder" point-and-click puzzling, and more about deciphering clues and the proper order in which to approach things, while at the same time trying not to be electrocuted. There's no changing cursor to mark interactive zones, but at the same time, the incredibly smooth and clean presentation usually means you won't encounter any sort of pixel hunting if you have an eye for detail and remember to check under and around everything. In any ordinary escape game, being stuck on a puzzle might sting enough without it repeatedly killing you for your trouble, so some players may find it extra frustrating. There are a lot of items and perspectives tucked in places you might not instinctively think to look, and some of the item uses are a little clunky. At the same time, however, The Dangerous GEN-KAN 2's gleefully malicious puzzle design tends to be tricky in the best possible way in most cases, and the spark of satisfaction you'll feel as you work to progress and figure things out makes the game stand out from the pack. It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye, but where The Dangerous GEN-KAN 2 is concerned, even a little loss of limb counts for a good time.

Walkthrough
Note that most of the codes in this game are randomly generated, so the walkthrough can't give you all the answers.
I'm going to assume you know enough to take stock of your surroundings before you start, so I won't be telling you things like "turn right twice" - I expect you to know where the fan view is without being told.
Get the S from under the book on the side table. Note that the bottom drawer needs a key, and the top drawer is secured with a screw on the side. Look at the book for a clue that doesn't make any sense yet.
Look under the couch cushions. There's a button with a letter written around it four times. (Which letter it is changes from game to game.) This is the first of the six letter buttons you need to find.
Above the couch, there's a compass rose with shapes. AFAIK, this clue doesn't change game to game: North = circle, East = diamond, South = square, West = X.
Look at the hand on the right. It needs a thin poky thing to open it. Look at the hand on the left: you have one of the missing buttons. Put it in place and press it. Get the note that was wrapped around the index finger.
Look at the box on the coffee table. Compare it to the note you just got and the picture above the couch. Set the dials according to the clue you got (it will be different each game). If your note has a combination of shapes - say, an X in a circle - then point that dial at the direction in between those two shapes - in our example, northwest.
If you did it right, you'll get a part of a key. If you did it wrong, you'll blow up.
Turn around until you see the vertical bars. Look in the bottom right corner of the barred doorway and get the big metal plate. Look at the button in the middle of the bars and note the letter.
Turn back to the couch view and click to the left of the couch. Put the metal plate on the trapdoor, then look in the nook on the wall to get the blue gloves.
Turn to the fan view. Look at the big plug below the fan. Using the gloves, pick up the plug and get the metal piece. Then, click the socket on the left to plug in the fan.
Combine the metal piece with the key part to get a complete key. Use it to open the wall cabinet to the left of the couch. Get the lollipop and the red handle. Note the letter button behind the books on the lower shelf. Look at the hint in the red book on the upper shelf.
Turn back to the fan view. After double-checking that the fan is on, look at the poison canister. Put the red handle in the top and turn it. Get the lighter.
Use the lighter on the lollipop (this was one of the hints in the red book in the wall cabinet). Use the resulting screwdriver to open the top drawer of the side table. Get the soda bottle and the P.
Use the P on the hand to the left. Get the ring. Examine it and remove the stone. Look at the trapdoor nook again and pull down the chain. Use the ring-sans-stone to secure it to the loop in the floor.
Put the stone into the wall plate above the poison canister to turn off the lasers. Go look at the plant. Get the fork.
Go back to the fan and unplug it (don't forget to use the gloves). Look at the fan and find the four little holes on the right of the frame. Use the fork to open the grating. Get the faucet knob.
Manually turn the fan blade until you match up the numbers. (Clue will change each game.) Note the numbers and their locations.
Look at the cabinet under the sink. Press the buttons in the order indicated by the fan, then press the middle button. Note the letter button on the right. Pull the chain on the left.
Look at the trapdoor nook again. Get the baseball. Go towards the plant until you can see the dark hole in the ceiling. Click it to see something glinting up there. Throw the baseball at it, then get the heck out of the way. Retrieve the baseball and the hex wrench.
Use the wrench to remove the door to the right of the vertical bars. (Don't leave the bottom nut for last, because the door will fall on you and crush you.) Note the letter on the fallen panel.
Put the nuts from the door panel into the leaky pipe under the wall cabinet. Tighten them with the wrench.
Go to the sink. Put the faucet knob in place. Turn on the water and fill the soda bottle. Turn off the water and empty the soda bottle into the sink. Get the key from the bottle.
Use the key you got from the soda bottle to open the bottom drawer of the side table. Pull the handle down.
The handle caused the compass-rose picture to fall off the wall and reveal a scary face. Retrieve the picture from behind the couch and look at its back. Get the thin poky thing.
Use the thin poky thing to open the hand on the right. Press the P button to cause it to drop the pencil. Use the pencil on the Memo page of the green book on the side table; click the page you just scribbled over to tear it out.
Look at the page you tore out of the book. Note the hand positions, and note which hand it is (by looking at the thumbs). Press the corresponding buttons of the corresponding hands, in order from left to right.
Look at the scary face and press the button below it. If you pressed the buttons right, you get a knife. If you got the buttons wrong, you get eaten.
Use the knife on the baseball. Get the red key.
Make sure you know where all the letter buttons are, except for one (which I think is always the S). Locations:
Couch
Vertical bars
Wall cabinet
Sink cabinet
Floor
Safe (the one you haven't found yet)
Use the red key to open the safe (where the screwed-in panel was). Note the letter button on its door. Quickly go around the room and press the buttons to spell SAFETY, in that order.
Enter the door that opened where the "SAFETY" sign used to be. Wait for the explosion. (If you've got your sound turned off, the screen will go white when the explosion happens.) Click the door to open it, then go towards the sliver of light until you leave the wreckage.
