Text Walkthrough

A hint-based, spoiler-free text walkthrough, for anyone who needs help. No videos.

Introduction

Whenever you're stuck, the most obvious way to go is to examine everything and, most importantly, talk to everyone. If you have a partner available, talk to them. Use your phone if necessary. Check your email. Also, common sense goes a long way. These are general hints that won't be included below.

Prisoner of Consciousness

How do I leave the room?

• Something strong and sharp would be useful right now.
  
• This character is obviously good with electronics.
  
• Maybe you can hack stuff?
  
• Or infect something with a virus?
  
• Infect the food machine's memory block with the malware from your email inbox and then have the door panel's software attack it.

Suicide City

How do I sound convincing on the phone?

• Remember the advice your partner gave you.
  
• Be consistent.
  
• Either be Good Cop or Bad Cop, not both.

How do I avoid violence?

• Be non-confrontational, friendly, and understanding.

Fission

I am stuck at the crime scene.

• Remember that you can still go outside.
  
• Maybe there's something useful in the hall?

How do I talk to this person?

• It's okay to stab robots.
  
• Maybe there's something useful outside the apartment.
  
• Maybe the terminal can help.

How do I access the terminal?

• People use passwords that hold personal meaning to them.
  
• The cooking gel can be calibrated.

How do I go fishing?

• You will need three items to do that.
  
• Maybe there's something useful outside the apartment.
  
• Maybe there's an item in that mess in the bedroom.
  
• And maybe that item was blocking something.
  
• Now you can go fishing.

I can't use my bare hands!

• Use something that won't be traced back to you.
  
• Maybe some of the evidence from your last case?
  
• Look in your desk.

Meeting of Minds

How do I connect to the internet?

• You're obviously gonna need some wetware.
  
• Talk to the guard.
  
• Wetware requires water, nutrients, and heat.

How do I help this guy?

• By connecting with him.
  
• Ask help from the guard.

How do I stop that thing?

• Maybe something to slow it down?
  
• Use the sheet.

Germination

How do I talk to this guy?

• Hydroxypyruvate Isomerase.
  
• You'll need access to the growth lab.

How do I get in there?

• Remember that most security systems in this world are electronic.
  
• Just hack it.
  
• Use your wetware on it.

Where are the samples?

• Remember the hint your partner gave you.
  
• MAX LAO.
  
• The samples spell your name.
  
• There are six samples in total, and you already know two of them.
  
• Remember the plant's description.
  
• There is only one sample whose name starts with the letter X.

How do I get the sample out of there?

• Only authorized personnel can carry samples out of the lab.
  
• Have someone else carry it for you.
  
• Find a way to get the intern in the lab.
  
• He has a toolbox.
  
• Break one of the pipes.
  
• Put the sample(s) in his toolbox.

Crisis of Consciousness

How do I get rid of the first one?

• How do you see someone who's invisible?
  
• Throw something at him.
  
• Something stickier than water.
  
• Use the sprinkle-system to drop paint on him.

How do I get rid of the second one?

• How do you attack someone who's below you?
  
• Throw something at him.
  
• Something lethal.
  
• Check the crates and the locker.
  
• How about a Molotov cocktail?

How do I get rid of the third one?

• Notice the environmental hazard.
  
• Flood the floor above.
  
• Clog the drain.
  
• Fire your laser.

How do I open the door?

Jahiliyyah

How do I make progress?

• Hack it.
  
• Loot it.

I'm stuck.

• Did you try using the crowbar?

Flesh Drive

How do I go fishing?

• You'll find all that you need in the same place.
  
• The kitchen.

How do I obtain a DNA sample?

• The usual way.
  
• Toilet paper.

Ripper

Wait, this doesn't make any sense!

• That's probably because you beat Domino at GravBall fair and square.
  
• So, yes, it doesn't make any sense. This is a major oversight by the developers.
  
• You must be wondering where the anaesthetic in your injector came from.
  
• Your injector was supposed to be empty since you last used it on Guy.
  
• Now it's filled with barbiturates.
  
• Even if you didn't buy any from the drug-dealer at the Den.
  
• The canon solution to beating Domino is to drug him.
  
• So, you have some leftover drugs from that.
  
• It's a stupid mistake. All you can do now is just roll with it.

How do I get past this place?

• Computers aren't the only things that can be hacked.
  
• Hack the guy.

Runtime

How do I open the door?

• This part is about the Turbine Room.
  
• You'll need Latha's help.
  
• There are two solutions to this problem.

How do I open the door?

• This part is about the Power Conduit.
  
• There is something under the elevator.
  
• This is better done with two people.
  
• Disable both Power Conduits at the same time.
  
• You can use the wrench to stop the elevator at any time.

[Francis]

Thanks for not making this walkthough a novel or a video collection. I love them short and text based.

Flesh Drive: dna sample: look closely at the shadows

[tuxdelux]

Fission: knife: can be difficult to locate

[tuxdelux]

Fission: terminal: needs to be a very specific temperature

[noxteryn]

Haha, thanks! And yeah, I dislike those video walkthroughs as well, especially for adventure games. Text is always more convenient. :)
