Alpha changes

Re-test the route after an alpha update

An update matters when it changes what you do in the cafe. Re-check the route in a fixed order instead of trusting an old day script.

Do this now

After an update, run one short observation shift. Check whether the objective wording, order and reputation displays, Sanity behavior, CCTV interaction and interruption flow still match your routine. If one part changes, update that decision only; do not discard every useful habit or repeat an old claim that the current game no longer shows.

01

Action route

Follow the shift in order

  1. 01

    Re-read opening state

    Check the day/open display, objective wording and visible HUD before moving.

  2. 02

    Test one normal service action

    Confirm the current objective advances the way the interface shows.

  3. 03

    Observe one interruption

    Compare team movement, HUD response and recovery flow without forcing a hidden rule.

  4. 04

    Keep only repeatable changes

    Update your route when the new behavior shows consistently across more than one run.

Quick answers

FAQ

Why does the walkthrough avoid a fixed day script?

The experience is in alpha, so the guide follows visible objectives and repeatable decision points that survive changes better.

What should I check first after an update?

Start with the opening objective and HUD, then test one service action and one interruption before trusting an older route.
