The Tama Decision
After learning about Valeria's disappearance and Viktor's connection, you encounter Tama in a dark alleyway. He's Viktor's friend, and you're faced with the game's most critical choice.
Save Point Recommended
This is the most critical decision in the entire game. Create a manual save here to explore both paths without replaying everything.
When: Immediately before encountering Tama
Investigation at Viktor's House
You've arrived at Viktor's residence to deliver a package. The house feels suspicious. How thoroughly you investigate determines whether you find where the children are hidden.
Save Point Recommended
Save before entering Viktor's house to ensure you can retry if you miss critical clues
When: Before entering Viktor's house
The Sitting NPC - Information vs. Utility
Near the housing complex entrance, you meet an NPC sitting outside. You need information about the closed gate, but you also have a deflated tire that needs a pump.
Farel's Package Delivery
You arrive to deliver a package to Farel, but his sister Tama answers the door and says he's not home. Company policy requires the recipient to personally accept packages.
Clara's Suspicious Request
Clara insists she didn't order a package but asks you to deliver it to Room 006 instead. This is highly unusual and against standard delivery procedures.
Ryan's Recording Request
Ryan wants you to record him unboxing his package as evidence in case the contents don't match his order. This is an unusual request.
The Final Package - Timing Decision
It's late and you're exhausted. One package remains: addressed to Valeria at Viktor's residence. Do you deliver it tonight despite your fatigue, or wait until tomorrow?
Save Point Recommended
Major story progression point - save before making this decision
When: Before deciding on final delivery
The Hallucination at Room 010
You see someone injured inside Room 010, their face covered in wounds. Is it real, or are you hallucinating from exhaustion?
How to Handle Viktor's Suspicious House
You've arrived at Viktor's residence and something feels very wrong. The atmosphere is ominous. Do you call for help or investigate yourself?
Save Point Recommended
Critical decision affecting final act progression
When: Before approaching Viktor's house
