Chapter 7: Infiltration

This chapter episode happens before Chapter 6: Business is Going Badly , if the player chooses that Emma be the one to infiltrate the Mayor's house. The next episode is either Chapter 9: The Mystery of the Pendant or Chapter 10: Mission Vegetable, depending on the player's choices. You can find a full list of chapters here.

### Walkthrough

#### Meeting up with Oliver

As soon as Emma tries to leave her apartment in the morning, she will find a note under her door that reads *"Meet me behind the church at noon… the password is "Pony M"… signed Agent O…".* Emma complains about Oliver treating this like a game but will meet him nonetheless.

At around 12AM (noon), enter the Church square (south of the village), and a cutscene will start. Oliver requests the password and Emma tells him to stop messing around, that she has not eaten or slept in days because of how nervous she is. Oliver apologizes and offers to break in himself, but Emma says she never backs down on her choices. Then, Oliver tells her that one of his informants told him that the Mayor will not be at home that night and therefore, it is the perfect opportunity to break in and steal the document. They agree to meet up at 10:30PM in front of the Mayor's house (small alley, south of the village).

#### Breaking in and getting the document

The player must enter the small alley at around 10:30PM or Elsys will inform you that you missed Oliver and you will have to try again on the next day. If you do make it in time, Oliver will be waiting by the door with the keys. He says that it could take a while, because there are 15 locks. Once it's open, Emma walks in while Oliver keeps watch.

Once inside, there is no timer to find what you need so there is no need to stress. The music is tense but there is no danger of the Mayor finding you just yet. Note that once you get the document, you will barely have time to explore the room more so it is recommended that you take the figurine from the coffee table if you are interested in the collectables.

There are many papers scattered accross the tables and the floor, but the correct one is the one on the floor between the armchair and the table, next to the window.

#### Hiding from the Mayor

Getting the document will trigger a cutscene in which Oliver sees the Mayor coming and tries to distract him for as long as he can, saying that his wife is cheating on him. The Mayor replies that he is not married and immediately becomes suspicious of Oliver roaming around his house. Oliver calls Emma and tells her to hide immediately.

This triggers a 30 second counter in which the player has to find a place to hide, which is the closet right by the entrance. If you don't hide in time, a cutscene will show the Mayor catching Emma inside his house and telling her that she will go to jail. Then, the game returns you to the 30 second counter to give you a second chance at hiding.

If Emma hides in time, a cutscene shows the mayor holding an object that belonged to Marie, a pendant (or a knick-knack as he calls it), and leaves it on the table next to the window. He ponders about what it could be and then notices that the document is gone. He calls the corrupt policeman who crafted the document (Captain John), as he immediately blames Oliver. The policeman says that there has been no break-in and therefore, no crime, and that he cannot forge another document because he already risked his position enough when he crafted the first one. The Mayor then leaves the house, extremely angry and frustrated.

This is when Oliver calls Emma and tells her that it is safe to come out, and that she should hurry out before he comes back.

#### Making a decision

Regardless of Oliver's advice to get out of there quick and the tense music, there is no timer to leave the house. This is a good opportunity to take the figurine if you haven't before, because this will be your last chance to visit this location.

Now, you must decide if you take the pendant that the Mayor brought into the room or not. This decision is one of the most crucial ones in the game and **it will affect the ending**.

#### Chapter end

After leaving the Mayor's house, you are forced to talk to Oliver who takes the document and promises to burn it. After that, Emma gets a text from Flora thanking her for what they have done, and tells her that the Mayor has given them more time to pay the debt. This concludes the chapter and a pop-up will inform you that the next chapter will begin in 4 days.
