It's not really. I mean, yes, in the game it is. But 666 is a mistranslation. The actual number, as written in the earliest surviving Greek version of Revelations, is 616.
Technically it's not a mistranslation, but a textual variant, meaning that one or the other appeared in different manuscripts. But whatever you want to call it, most biblical and archeological scholars today agree that 666 is the correct one, even though the earliest surviving manuscript (papyrus fragment P115) has 616. In fact the church has been aware of this textual variation since around the late 1st Century / early 2nd Century.

The chest key is in Kimberly's room on Channel 4, lower right corner of the room.
No it isn't, at least on my copy, and I have downloaded two copies, one from MEGA and one from Workupload, neither one had the key.

It's in the game, just not in your save, even if you download every versison in the OP. It won't pop-up until you progress far enough into the story and the randos on the street tell you about it ........ You know the basis of progression is to have stuff appear in steps and not just dump everything at once the moment you hit "new game"

It is there, you probably missed it or either did something in the wrong order to be more clear in order to avoid misunderstanding here's a screenshot where you need to look at, you need to pick the key after the interview with Kimberly. :)

This is not the type of conversation I expected to see in this forum.

They're just hung up on base 10. 616 was first, so is clearly correct, even if it's not as aesthetically pleasing. In hexadecimal, 268 is much better than 29a. 1001101000 vs 1010011010 is less clear.

So says the atheist with absolutely NO skin in the game! [/sarcasim, in case it wasn't obvious. No need to start a fight!]
