Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After the intro cutscene, you control Vincent (left, on bus) and Leo (right, in yard).
  2. 2
    As Vincent, exit the bus and follow the line of new prisoners.
  3. 3
    As Leo, go through the yard gate by pressing the highlighted yellow button. A cutscene plays.
  4. 4
    As Vincent, continue following the linear path with other prisoners; guards will direct you.
  5. 5
    Once both characters are inside, you can speak with NPCs.
  6. 6
    Vincent Dialogue Choice: At the bench, choose to tell the prisoner "nothing" or "stay strong."
  7. 7
    Leo Dialogue Choice: In the yard, choose to tell the prisoner "get used to it" or "you're not on vacation." These choices only affect immediate dialogue.
  8. 8
    As Vincent, go to the guard and then the counter to sign papers.
  9. 9
    As Leo, let the guard pat you down, then turn left and interact with the prison door to have the guard open it.
  10. 10
    After Vincent signs, proceed to Cellblock B and undress near the curtain as instructed.
  11. 11
    As Leo, you'll be grabbed by another convict; a guard intervenes. This convict becomes important later.
  12. 12
    As Leo, walk across the second floor. You can talk to convicts in cells, with similar binary dialogue options.
  13. 13
    Leo gets hosed down and yelled at by the warden. To avoid overlapping audio, experience the warden scene and convict conversations separately.
  14. 14
    As Leo, walk to your cell. Interact with the desk, bed, and sink. Leo will write and tally on the wall.
  15. 15
    Meanwhile, Vincent's scene with the warden ends. Vincent is naked with clothes.
  16. 16
    As Vincent, follow new convicts up the spiral stairs (two floors). A guard will push Vincent into his cell.
  17. 17
    As Vincent, interact with the bed to dress. A cutscene plays, ending the day.
Tips
  • Dialogue choices in this chapter have no significant impact on gameplay.
  • To avoid audio overlap when Leo is in his cell and Vincent is with the warden, complete one character's interactions before the other's.
