About

How the game works
Tips
You start the week under house arrest and have to decide what to do with your time. Escape successfully and the police don't catch you — that's one outcome. Get caught trying to leave — that's another. Wait out the full week without doing anything — that's a third.
- Good ending — escape without being caught
- Bad ending — attempt to leave but get caught by the police
- Normal ending — do nothing and wait out the full seven days
Endings to chase first
Tips
Several badge descriptions tell you almost exactly what to do.
- Buy food from the computer — skipping this leads to the Starved ending instead
- Electrocuted — find the thing the game warns you not to touch and touch it anyway
- Nausea — find a drink the game warns you away from and consume it
- Scammed — accept the offer of a free iPhone when it appears
Reading badge descriptions as clues
Tips
Each of the 16 badges has a short description written by the developers. Those descriptions point directly at what triggers each ending.
- Open your badge list and read the descriptions for badges you have not earned yet
- Descriptions that sound like warnings — "don't touch that" or "maybe don't drink that" — are telling you exactly what to do to earn the badge

Common questions
FAQHow many endings are there?
There are 16 endings in total. The game itself tells you to try to get them all, and each one has its own badge.
What happens if I never buy food?
Going without food earns you the Starved ending. The badge description points out that you can buy food from the in-game computer, so starving is avoidable if you want to keep playing.
Can I play with friends?
The game is a solo experience, so you work through the endings at your own pace without needing other players.
How do I figure out what triggers the endings I am missing?
Open the badge screen and read the descriptions for any badge you have not earned yet. The developers wrote those descriptions as hints.
