Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Play Without Guidance: For your very first playthrough, it is strongly recommended to complete the story without any guidance to fully enjoy the game and make choices according to your own preferences.
  2. 2
    Explore Your Surroundings: Take your time to get to know your surroundings. In most sections, you can move freely and interact with objects and characters. The only exception is when the game presents a timer on the HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap) (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen)), where you must complete tasks before time runs out.
  3. 3
    Use Android Vision: By holding down R2, you can use your android vision to inspect your surroundings and highlight key points of interest. This mechanic is available for all three characters and pauses everything until you move again.
  4. 4
    Making Critical Decisions: Many vital choices in the game can have disastrous consequences, affecting progress and the final ending. These decisions cannot be reversed, but the game offers checkpoints (an auto-save point you restart from on death) throughout chapters to try again.

    Pause the Game: If a timed dialogue option appears, you can pause the game to think about your decision. If you don't choose anything, the game will select an option for you. Some major decisions do not have timers.

    Replay Chapters: Replaying chapters is important for achieving different outcomes and completing the flowchart for each chapter. You can access chapters from the main menu and view flowcharts to see your progress.

    Collect Magazines: The only collectibles are magazines, found during various chapters. Some are indoors, some outdoors, and their appearance can depend on your choices. The game requires multiple playthroughs to collect all 46 magazines.
