TV Channels

**TV channels** can be viewed on the TV, which is located on a table near the Library in the Slums. They broadcast from the Midtown and can be watched in the Slums, but in poor quality.

To get a Télé à chat achievement, you need to watch all the TV channels by switching them using the remote control on the couch in front of the TV.

## Jail commercial

### Type

Commercial

```
Frame 2: CRIME

Frame 8: JOIN NOW
JAIL 07706 - 56680 - 15

QR: https://eqrcode.co/a/DMZqoi

```

It is a commercial to attract new employees to work in Jail. It reads “Join now” which does not make sense for other Companions because only Peacemakers and Sentinels can work in there. However, it's likely hinting Peacemakers are actually Companions that modified to do their work, or basically there are other Peacemakers in Midtown who looking for a suitable job.

The Companion in this commercial looks like Capone but there is no confirmation that it is him.

## News

```
BREAKING NEWS
CRITICAL BUG FOUND IN LATEST VERSION

```

News on the Ftv Channel – «CRITICAL BUG FOUND IN LATEST VERSION». We don't know exactly what they're talking about and who is the Companion in the left bottom corner.

The background looks like the screen with the picture of the Outside.

## Weather report

### Type

Weather

```
Frames 1-2: WEATHER
TUESDAY
ACID RAIN

Frame 3: WEATHER
MONDAY

Frame 4: METEO
BONNE JOURNEE (en: WEATHER REPORT; HAVE A GOOD DAY)

```

According to this weather forecast, the game takes place on Monday. Most likely, the promised acid rain cannot occur in the city because there are no clouds and we do not see rain in the game. There is an "acid rain area" Sign in game files written with droid letters, but it is not known whether this sign is made for decoration or it really means acid rain area.

The moon sign in the report is probably means clear weather. The weather is really clear in the Slums and Mito says, “I love the weather right now” so everything matches with it.

There is also a small view of the Outside in those frames: one single road to the Walled City 99 and a desert land. Most likely, the surface was deserted when the city was built, but then the soil recovered and grass and trees grew on it. An antenna at the top of the elevator that leads out of the Midtown is also visible, but the location and appearance of it differs from the same antennas shown in the game.

## Quiz show

### Type

Entertainment program

```
Frames 1-5: AU BORD DE QUELLE MER SE TROUVE YALTA? (en: ON WHICH SEA IS YALTA?)
LA MER NOIRE (en: THE BLACK SEE)
LA MER MICHEL (en: THE SEA OF MICHEL)

Frames 1-6, names: JULIEN
PIERRE

```

This show is a reference to this fragment of the French "Questions pour un champion" quiz show, where the participant answers "la mer Noire" to each question. Julien is the showrunner's name.

"La mère Michel" is a reference to a French children's song about a lost cat.

The question of this quiz reads "On which sea is Yalta?" which means Companions know something about human geography, and this knowledge is probably quite old, because due to rising sea levels Yalta could have been flooded a long before the game events.

## Shopping channel

```

This TV channel sells various tools as gifts. The price of these tools is 19.99 but there’s no currency, and the binary code says CALL but there’s no phone number.

The name of this channel is TV 00110001 which means *49* in decimal or *1* in ASCII/UTF-8.

## Sitcom

### Type

Entertainment program

It’s not very clear what's going on in this sitcom, but it's probably the scene of a date of two Companions who are being watched by two more Companions from the other room.

## Theatrical play

### Type

Cultural program

```
Frame 1: BEHOLD! Behold!
Frame 2: FOR_HE_IS_ONE; For he is the one
Frame 3: ONE_WITH_THE_UNIVERSE; One with the universe
Frame 4: AS_HE_ASCEND; As he ascend
Frame 5: FREE_FROM_HIS_SHELL; Free from his shell
Frame 6: ONE; One
Frame 7: ERO; Zero
Frame 8: ONE; One

```

The plot of this play is similar to mythical or religious. The play uses human statues as a set.

Subtitles to this play are written both in secondary alphabet and in English, which means some of the Companions may not know one of these languages, so they need a translation.

## Social advertising

### Type

Commercial

```

Frame 3: SCIENTIST
Frames 7-8: WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?

```

Social advertisement about how to kill Zurks. It shows the laboratory where Companions researching it.

It is a reference to the similar advertising from the movie Starship Troopers. This is not the only reference to this movie in the game - another one is Zegema dance.

## Other channels

In other locations of the game, mostly in Midtown, you can find some other screens, but they all show a static picture, and it is not known whether they are televisions or monitors for broadcasting advertising.
