  5. 5
    Pike: Find Pike leaning against the cop car. You can listen to his sadness and talk to him. Dialogue choices: First set is up to you. Second set: "I'll be ready soon." is nicer; "Mac's a liar." makes Alex lash out, turning Pike's sadness into anxiety.

    Officer's Sadness: On the other side of the car, scan the sadness of the guy with glasses.
  7. 7
    Ethan: The two officers are talking about Ethan, who is by the water, taking Gabe's death hard. Find him on a small beach by the stream in the park. You can talk to him, but he is full of anger.
  8. 8
    Minor Decision - Birdwatcher: Near the park entrance, find a birdwatcher. Scan her thoughts; she's looking for a specific bird for a contest. Turn toward the tree with carvings, go past it and the disc golf basket to a patio area. To your right, observe a hawk in a tree. Return to the birdwatcher and report your findings.

    New Resident: As you head toward the shops, pass a man debating buying the Brown Bear Diner. You can listen to his conversation and thoughts. He is Jack Stevens.

  12. 12
    Riley: Approach Riley in the alley. Scan her thoughts for anxiety. Talk to her. "Gotta run" ends the conversation. Mentioning Gabe or Eleanor makes her open up. To learn about Mac, you must have spoken to him first. She will reveal Mac was planning to leave Haven.
  13. 13
    The Silver Dragon Dispensary: Enter the dispensary and speak with Char. You'll meet Diane on the way in. Dialogue choices: First set is up to you. The second choice may differ if you spoke to Ethan.

  • Visiting Lethe Flowers, Mac, and Riley are mandatory. All other activities are optional for a faster playthrough.
  • Dialogue choices with Pike can affect his emotional state.
  • Riley will only reveal information about Mac if you have already spoken to him.
