Walkthrough

1
When starting a new game, allocate 9 points to personality traits. These traits affect dialogue options and enable 'Checks' for tasks like persuasion. Some traits may block dialogue, potentially causing you to fail 'Intentions'.
2
Hold the button on the bottom-right to 'wake up' and speak with Dr. Finck. Dialogue choices here don't matter initially.
3
Exit and attempt to speak with the woman kicking the vending machine; you'll be unable to due to 'Total Lack of Motivation'. Move left and enter the motel reception.
4
Inside, speak to the receptionist, Robin. If you have at least one point in 'Extraverted', you will pass the Social Check. Dialogue choices with Robin don't matter for now; you'll receive your room key card.
5
Go upstairs to your room. Interact with the suitcase; your character may put it away, allowing them to sit on the bed or chair. Time will pass, and you'll receive a phone call. Accepting or rejecting the call and any dialogue choices are inconsequential.
6
More time will pass, leading to reviewing your 'memories'. Click each icon.
7
You will then experience a dream sequence. Pay attention to its details for character insight.
8
After the dream, an icon will appear. You'll have the option to 'Hold to Recall', but this is not yet possible.
9
Exit your hotel room and witness someone in a truck hit a transformer.
10
Achievement: Tap Out! Go to your room's bathroom and drink from the tap to unlock this achievement.
11
Go downstairs and interact with the vending machine. Press the 'reddish button' to get a bottle of water and drink it to lose the 'Thirsty' status.
12
The sky will turn red, and explosions will occur. You will wake up back in Dr. Finck's office, where he gives you a 'Purple Pill'.
13
Repeat the process: get your key card, check into your room, attempt to put away the suitcase (your character will resist). You can take the purple pill or not; it doesn't affect progression. Sit on the chair to pass time until you receive the same phone call.
14
Pass time until you review your memories again. You will receive your first 'Intention'.
15
'Hold to Commit' to the 'Memory or Fantasy?' Intention, but you'll be unable to due to a lack of 'Willpower'. Take the pill to sleep, losing the 'Anxious Apprehension' status and gaining 'Inspiration' (equivalent to Willpower).
16
Commit to the 'Memory or Fantasy?' Intention and go outside. The Intention will update.
17
Go downstairs and investigate the transformer hit by the car. Select all dialogue options to complete the Intention. The sky will turn red, signaling the end of the loop.
18
After talking to Dr. Finck, open the memories screen, select the Intention, and 'Hold to Wrap Up' to gain 1 Inspiration.
19
Outside Dr. Finck's office, you'll decide to go home, unlocking an Intention to leave.
20
Commit to the 'Go Home' Intention and interact with your car. You will fail to leave and end up back in Dr. Finck's office. A dialogue option tied to this intention will appear.
21
As you try to leave again, you'll lose control of the car, triggering a Decisional Check. If you have '+1 Calculated', you'll regain control; otherwise, you lose it. You gain 2 Inspiration regardless. The intention fails, unlocking the achievement 'The Escape Failed Successfully'.
22
Select the Intention again and 'Hold to Give up'.

Free Roaming:

Talk to the woman hitting the vending machine. Any dialogue options will grant the 'Fix Vending Machine' Intention.
Commit to the Vending Machine Intention via your memories screen.
Speak to the woman again and select 'Maybe I can help?'. Attempt and fail to fix the vending machine, then 'give up'.
Go to the motel reception and speak to Robin. Select the vending machine-related dialogue option, and she will explain how to fix it.
If the clock is 8:07 or earlier, give Riley a coffee to complete the Intention and earn 3 Inspiration. You'll learn her name is Riley and gain memories of Robin, Ben Fleming (Robin's father), and Coral Destiny. Update the Rocket Launch memory by asking about watching it.
Wrap up the vending machine Intention in your memories. To gain a new memory, go to the second floor and interact with the door left of yours to gain the 'The Stocky Man' Memory.
Go to reception and speak to Robin about the time loop and Ben Fleming.
The 'Stocky Man' (Jason Burns) will enter reception at 8:12. Listen to his conversation with Robin. Afterwards, speaking to Robin reveals his name and backstory.

Driving South - Max Gas:

Drive south to Max Gas. To the left of the store, interact with the camera to unlock the 'Reality Show' Intention.
Enter Max Gas. Depending on the time, Riley may also be present. Listening to Max and Riley talk updates/creates memories: 'Careless Driver', 'Max Gas Lady', 'Where's Walter?'.
Talking to Max alone updates her memory to 'Maxine Kay'. Asking about Jason Burns updates Maxine's and Jason Burns' memories.
Interact with the Kitty Poster to gain 1 Inspiration.
Select dialogue options related to the Time Loop and Reality TV to advance those Intentions.
Use your phone to ask about Walter Kay, then pass time to restart the loop. You may see a dream icon requiring 5 Willpower/Inspiration to recall.

Next Loop:

Back in Dr. Finck's office, ask about Coral Destiny and select options related to the Reality Show Intention.
Outside, give Riley a coffee again. Ask her about Coral Destiny and the Reality Show Intention. Learn she worked there and update her memory.
