The First Day: Initial Directives — Beholder: Conductor Walkthrough

Your first day as a Conductor begins immediately upon arrival at the apartment building. After a brief introduction to your new living quarters and the oppressive atmosphere, you will receive your initial set of directives from the Ministry. These early tasks serve as a tutorial, guiding you through the core mechanics of surveillance and reporting, while also establishing the grim reality of your new position.

  1. Report to the Ministry: Your first task is to interact with the Ministry's communication terminal in your apartment. This will deliver your initial set of instructions.
  2. Meet Your Family: Speak with your wife, Mary, and your children, Patrick and Martha. This introduces their needs and establishes the personal stakes involved in your role.
  3. Initial Tenant Profiles: You will be given basic information on your first tenants. For example, the Schimmer family (Bruno and Maria) and the Dalson family (Albert and Sarah).
  4. Directive: Install Surveillance Camera: Your first active directive will likely be to install a surveillance camera in a specific tenant's apartment, often the Schimmers.
    • Steps:
      1. Acquire a camera from your inventory (initially provided).
      2. Locate the target apartment (e.g., Apartment 1).
      3. Wait for the tenant to leave or be distracted.
      4. Enter the apartment (pick the lock if necessary, or use a key if provided).
      5. Find a suitable spot (e.g., a bookshelf, a wall) and install the camera.
      6. Return to your apartment and report the successful installation via the Ministry terminal.
  5. Directive: Observe and Report: Following the camera installation, you will be tasked with observing the tenant for a specific period or for specific behaviors. For instance, you might need to report if Bruno Schimmer is reading banned literature.
    • Steps:
      1. Access the surveillance feed from your apartment's monitor.
      2. Watch for the specified activity.
      3. Once observed, use the Ministry terminal to file a report. Ensure your report is accurate to avoid penalties.
  6. Directive: Introduce Yourself to Tenants: You may also receive a directive to simply introduce yourself to the initial tenants. This helps you learn their routines and personalities.

These initial directives are designed to teach you the basics of surveillance, reporting, and interacting with both the State and your tenants. Pay close attention to the tutorial prompts, as they lay the groundwork for more complex tasks ahead.
