yeah that was one of the most affecting parts of the game for me so far, along with the crashed squad car because right when I was realizing what it was, I read the "oh god, no" dialogue option and it was the only natural choice

For me it was the field autopsy. Probably because I did it after 11 PM, holding a flashlight while Kim's inspecting the body. Doing that after a long day of running and talking helped to make it extremely impactful.

There's also some stuff that indicates that he was much more revolutionary as a teen/young adult, but that he's left that behind.

Where do I find the tape for Karaoke, anyway? I'm on day 4 and I haven't found it. I need to show the goddamn world my oceanic soul.

I can't promise it will live up to the hype, but I tried my best.
Finished my first "natural" playthrough as 4/1/3/4, and was generally happy.

Because I like seeing how others did it, here were my notable stats and choices:


- Conceptualization primary skill. Attempted to keep Authority in the negatives for most of the playthrough. But drat, Volition the best skill and that's definitely a target for my next playthrough.
- Quite a solid fan of Harrier Du Bois, Double Yfreior for my name, despite aforementioned lack of authority
- Went all in on sorry cop, only got art cop towards the end. Still ended up with some boring cop and a mix of others.
- Locked out of doing the mural apparently because I was too artsy for Cindy.
- Low-key communist, not going full on political (apparently, a mistake, considering the climax and the murderer's general tone)
- Did not engage *at all* with any of the race stuff, especially Measurehead
- Erred towards being sober but drank once a night regardless. Started internalizing the thought too late.
- Did tasks for Everart, warmed up to him but accidentally got the wrong signatures on the child care center paperwork
- Let Klassje go
- Shaved, felt appropriate. Do not regret.
- Would have very much liked to have settle in on the fishing village house, but...
- Went into Feld building on day 4 and charged right through the point of no return with no gun.
- Saved Ruby, she ran away
- Convinced Joyce to give the harbor over to the union
- Tribunal: dodged first bullet, but really warmed up the scab leader with stories of his foster brother. Kim shot, Titus died.
- Detective Kuuno de Ruyter


Some people have talked about...a hole? Can I get some pointers on how to find it?

At the end of the Church questline (involving the kids in the tent) which is actually quite long.

Okay, church questline: how the hell do you advance that? I went inside, and after doing a couple of laps around the room looking for clues found an unattended radio and the broken mural and nothing else, then just reported back to the kids that it seems to be empty but they weren't convinced. Never found anything else to advance that plotline but it seems I missed a massive side-event by doing so, what are you actually meant to do?

Cross the waterlock ramp and go south, it'll be near an abandoned house. I think there was a boat nearby too.

So considering that this game appears to be a success, what would people want for a sequel? Another case with the RCM? Whatever revolution's going down in Revachol? Personally, I want Klaasje: Intersoliary Woman of Mystery. They could even keep the 5 months pregnant idea that was floating around.

Yeah, I accidentally timed myself to finish Day 1 with the unexpectedly successful field autopsy and it legit felt like I'd just watched a pilot for some new HBO prestige show. Wonderful "poo poo got real" scene to end on after having spent most of that day bumbling around like an idiot.

If you ask Kim about Dolores Dei in the church its obvious he is not a fan but its a "mandatory" religion and there is the unstated implication that bad things happen to people that buck the state religion too hard
