Overview
As most of you are aware this game full of promise seems to have been abandoned by a non commital developer called Carl Olander who seems to have done a runner. Hence so at least many of you can get your monies worth. This is mainly a video guide on my run through and what I discovered. Feel free to add things that you discover in the comments…
District B
The below video runs through the whole district B concentration camp.
Main things you can aquire here is a packet of Cigs and some apples. Its best giving the apples to the guy in need in line. You still walk away with 5 apples in your inventory.
On the other side of the camp is a guy who wants you to guess 15 words that start with the letter B which describes women. I was only able to guess three myself, if you happen to work out the rest please inform us in comments below and I will add them to this guide. The three I worked out was…
1. B itch
2. Bag
3. Bimbo
Special Thanks to DeathMetalMercenary who worked out the following…
4. Broad
5. Boob or Boobs
6. Bird
7. Babe
what the reward is if you get the whole 15 correct is I’m not sure of.
There use to be a task where you needed to transport dead bodies to a refuse pile, but that since has been deleted by the developer because of a Jim Sterling youtube video which complained about it. You can check the Jim Sterling video out if you want to see it. It’s at the 9:10 mark in the video below…
[link]Finally a guy requests that you hold his wire cutters. Best not to and just dob him in. You will get to live.
You then get rewarded access to district A.
Personally I thought district B was too short. Not enough tasks to do in there, and didn’t really build any rapport with me wanting even to leave the place or better my condition. A lot of interesting issues and things could have happened in there, but nothing substantial happens.
[link]District A
Here you are given a small apartment. The objective is to raise money by working at a new work station each day. The more work you do, the more you earn and level up giving you a point to place in the skill tree. (Warning levelling up becomes much more harder and longer in the game later on, so choose what you level up wisely, there is no undoing once you have spent your skill points). My suggestion is to level up hacking to level 4 and rock throw to level 3 at least.
Decoration: This is just a pure novelty which is designed to lower your stress when your in your home with whatever you have purchased. However standing in the park will lower your stress quicker and is free. Warning the TV set which is the most expensive will be broken when you purchase it, which will require you to everyday fix it by pressing the ‘F’ button for about a minute. No pictures appear on the TV set other than the information that work office opens at 8 am. So do not waste your money. Radio can be entertaining to buy as it has quite a few channels and their audio track goes for quite a while. Pictures and clock are just there to spruce up your place.
House: In your house you can place money in your cookie jar. This serves no purpose as you wont lose your money anyway if you carry it on you. Same with the fridge. Seemed no purpose to it as you wont lose any items that you have on you. Closet however is interesting. Stand next to it and press ‘F’ and you can place your contraband stuff in there. There seems to be some type of bug with it I could not work it out, but it kept duplicating the stuff in there even when i took it out and used it. Magical closet was nice.
Leveling up the Rebel Bar: This is needed if you want to quickly advance through the game. To do this earn money from a work station buy a bottle of whiskey at the shop and then give it to the guy who wants to make molotovs. He will also give you 10 RC (rebel currency) which allows you to buy contraband stuff. Once you have levelled up the Rebel Bar the whole way a note should appear at the back of your front door wether you have locked it or not. This will inform you where the Rebels are who will give you more quests.
Various Quests….
Hack Atm’s: there are 2 one near the park and one opposite the big TV screen. Hack straight away on day 1 to get more money. They can only be hacked once.
Destroy Camera’s: You will need to raise your rock throw to at least destroy all the camera’s except 1, level 3 is needed to reach all the camera’s. I never accomplished and would be interested to know what happens. Does the rock throwing guy disappear?
Destroy Flags: There are two flags that can only be destroyed at night just stand near them and press the button the game informs you to press. You have to make it back home and to bed. For the quest to register and disappear.
Circulating speakers: These can be hacked during the day with a level 3 hack. There should be 3 of them.
Other hacks: You can hack with a level 4 a small computer panel at the back of your house. The guard will detect you. Let him and just quickly follow up with the hack and run inside your house. There is a small shed that requires a hammer and a screwdriver to open and then level 4 hack to take out the computer console. Not sure what these actually achieve. You can also hack the computer console to the gate that runs from district A to B allowing you access back there, but there is never anything to do there.
Planks: A guy at the Rebel HQ require outside planks. There are 3 locations I know that they spawn in at various times. It is shown in the ending video of this walk through before i trigger the ending.
Hack 9 searchlights: This is probably the most exciting and interesting of all the quests. It has to be done at night. If you are spotted then practicarly all guards start homing in on your position and following you. Also in the dark its hard to tell who is a guard and who isn’t. You can do this without levelling up sneak at all. You have to make it back home and to bed for the quest to properly register as achieved and disappear. Suggestion start on the outskirts and work your way around. If you get caught in the act, leave it and come back to it later from another vantage point.

Bullet Control: Best not turning off the conveyer at all, just seperate the occassional bad bullets by placing them in the waste container. When the siren sounds you should be aware that the container for good bullets should nearly be full. However the siren does not take into account the bad bullets you have placed in the waste container. So the good container will always fill up a bit after the siren goes off. When the good container is full, quickly rush and pick it up and send it on its merry way. What ever bullets fall onto the floor dont actually matter. This is probably the highest paying job.
Box Filler: Pretty straight forward you have to put the correct contents in the correct box. Hold down ‘F’ key until the box is full and then place it in the dispatch tube. You have to make sure the door is closed to the dispatch tube before you send it on. There is a glitch which will occassionally distort the box as it falls through the dispatch tube. You can still place the distorted box in the dispatch and send it on. This is probably the second highest paying job.
Ore Smelt: Best just watching the accompanying video. Main thing here is that you can cut the corner to make it more your worth while. If you don’t stamp the ingots with the nazi symbol before sending them through dispatch, you actually get more money.
Office: Watch the accompanying video at the 5:55 mark will start to demonstrate office. You have to press random keys along with mouse to make the report type out quicker. When a failed response shows, delete the entire command box, input the above showing code making sure that there is lower case letters where shown. Hit your mouse icon outside the box and then press enter. The code should be correct and you can continue typing out your report until printing is required which is simply hit enter. Note if you place the correct code in and press space or enter while your icon is still in the bar it will show up as incorrect code and you will be deducted heavily. A very slow and boring work station. Highly recommend you avoid.
Slaughterhouse: The accompanying video at the 11:49 mark will demonstrate this work station. Basically just pick up a pig place it in the machine, take out its intestines and run them through the squeeze and then shred the pig. The other half of this work station was never finished by the developer so it doesn’t work and you need to just ignore it. A pretty depressing workstation with very low pay conditions another one highly recommended to avoid.
Gear Control: I was never able to work this one out. So eventually I just tried to kill myself on the machine. If you ever worked this one out please feel free to let me know in the comments. Video from 17:55 mark shows all this.
Final tip: The game is designed so that you can’t go to the same work station twice until you have tried them all. This means that if you want to keep trying only the advantageous ones then you will have to exit the game completely and log back in. This will send you always back to day one half way through. Personally I found if you did Box filler on day 1 and then after that went to sleep and did bullet control on day 2 least you would get a whole day of bullet control and maximise your income.
[link]The Event: Group Hug Ending
How to reach the Box on the roof is in the below video at the 2:50 mark. You can also throw rocks at guards and not be caught from this high vantage point…
The Event doesn’t work but ends with your group just running out into a field to do a big group hug around a single soldier while everyone gets constantly shot at but looses no health. From here you can still free wander but there is nothing to do. Game ending is completely broken. Your cursor will disappear when you try to trigger the event but you can get it back by running into the doctor that can cure you from paranoia and quickly click through the responses. The ending starts from 6:00 mark in the below video.
