Introduction

There are Two Sections overall: Random Advice, and Specific Advice.

Random has no spoilers, and Specific will spoil specific aspects of the game.

Random Advice (Spoiler Free)

Sometimes, the best way to win is to restart. I got to day 8/11, and decided I could do it better.

You can do day 1 and 2 ‘perfectly’. The following days are more open, obviously. But those can’t be repeated as easily.

You can get schmouders from kids and chests. But chests have 20% and kids have 10%. It may seem small, and for your run it could be, but make sure you play ‘the hidden stash game’ with the kids.

You will want to horde Schmouders, nothing crazy but over 5 at all times is a good number. You’ll find out why as you play.

If you want a perfect run, pause and reload the moment you feel uncertain about a situation, its no shame at all. Maybe the next attack is lethal, maybe the short fall is worse than you think. Pause and make a judgement call.

Specific Advice (Light Spoilers)

There are two types of Character Deaths: Plague and Plot. Luckily there are only 5 Possible Plot Deaths. To avoid the un-stoppable kind, simply do the following:

• Before day 6, get a panacea: If you think testing organs is a waste of time, your character doesn’t know that yet. Keep going until he agrees with you, the player.
• Around day 5-7: Rubin’s doing some medical memes, remember the law of F-ing around, do your job and let him do his. If you think hes even in the same district as you, leave.
• Around day 3: Lara has a bad idea. Remember the law of F-ing around on her behalf: Litterally just do nothing lol, it can’t get easier than that.
• At one point the kin want blood, Turns out their bluffing. I genuinely had no idea this would even work, but you can just stop them from getting revenge and they’ll just move on to other problems.
• Hey, Lara did have a portrait of a general in her house, and another general shows up in town. Hmmmmm. TLDR: On day ten, go check on her.

When you need to jump into a hole, play it safe and try to crawl in instead. You won’t know if you’re computer will accidentally register it as a death unless you hop in blindly. Crawling in instead will be a garenteed, safe way to gen into that hole.
