### Walkthrough

#### Eavesdropping the conversation at the stud farm

Oliver calls Emma and says he needs to talk to her about something important. He explains that the Mayor is talking to Flora and the rest at the stud farm. They both decide to go there and spy on the conversation. Because the window is closed, Emma sarcastically says that Oliver should break the window with a rock and that is exactly what he does. Flora gets angry, but they can listen to the full conversation now.

Flora tells the Mayor that he cannot buy the stud farm without Marie's agreement, which she cannot give because she is missing. Michael says that Marie never wanted to sell it, and that everyone knows that. The Mayor says that he pushed the investigation forward and that they have found out that Marie has passed away, but Flora asks about the body and the Mayor has to admit that it wasn't found. The Mayor then admits to bribing authorities for a document that pressumes Marie is dead from a legal perspective. Flora gets very upset that he has forged a fake document, but he dares her to prove it was fake, before reminding them to pay their debs to the Town Hall.

After listening to the conversation, go talk to Flora. She is very discouraged and tired of constantly fighting, but Emma tries to cheer her up saying that she will find a solution. Then, Oliver says that they must break into the Mayor's house to steal the document. Emma thinks that's morally wrong, but is convinced when Oliver talks about all the morally dubious things the Mayor himself has done. Eventually, Emma agrees and Oliver asks her to spy on the Mayor to see where he leaves the documents.

#### Spying on the Mayor

The player has a five minute timer to hide in the Town Hall square (south of the village) and wait for the Mayor. If the time runs out, Elsys will say that you missed it and ask you to come back tomorrow at 4PM. It will also remind you in the morning when you wake up. If you decide to postpone following the Mayor, you can go to the Town Hall square any day between 3:45PM and 4:17PM.

When you arrive at the Town Hall square in time, you will be asked to find a hiding spot. You must hide behind the big tree east of the square, in front of Le Café de la Poste. Then, you will see the Mayor walking by while holding a briefcase where he keeps the forged document. He will walk from the village heights towards the Church square, up the street right of the Town Hall.

Emma will then call Oliver to inform him that he had seen the Mayor, and he will ask two questions:

1. Which way did he go? (Down the street on the right of Town Hall… the one that leads to his place.)
2. Did he have his briefcase? (Yes!)

If you answer any of them wrong, Oliver says that Emma must have made a mistake and that they will try again tomorrow. If you answer both right, he will call Emma in about 15 seconds to tell her that he saw him go into the church. A timer starts for 4 minutes in which Emma has to go to the Church square (south of the village) and find another hiding place to spy the Mayor.

The hiding place this time is behind the big tree west of the square, next to the creek. There, you will see the mayor walk out of the church, down the stairs, and up the alley that is under the bridge. He is still holding the briefcase.

Emma will then call Oliver again, and he will ask two more questions.

1. Which way did he leave the square? (Up the alley to the right of the church.)
2. Did he still have his briefcase? (Yes!)

Again, if you answer any of these questions wrong, Oliver will say that Emma must have made a mistake and that they will try again tomorrow. If you answer them right, Oliver will tell you that he saw the Mayor walk into his house, which is in Linden way (called small alley in-game, north of the village). He asks Emma to keep spying on him while he goes to get a copy of the Mayor's house keys.

Then, you have a two minute timer to go to the small alley and find another hiding spot. This time, Emma must hide behind the stairs that lead into the Mayor's house and wait for him to come out. After a while, he will come out but without his suitcase, meaning the document is inside his house. Emma calls Oliver and tells him what he saw, and he asks him to come to his place to decide what to do next.

During a cutscene, the Mayor finds Emma and accuses her of spying on him. She teases him and then insults him, and he threatens to call the police but Emma leaves and the situation does not escalate.

#### Making a decision

Emma must then go talk to Oliver to decide who will be breaking into the house. Once you talk to Oliver, you must make a choice, so be mindful of that if you want to have separate files for separate choices. Choosing one plan or the other will lead to two different chapters with similar progressions, but it **will not affect the ending**.

If Emma is the one to break in, the game will continue with Chapter 7: Infiltration , and if Oliver's the one to break in, the game continues with Chapter 8: Infiltration. Both episodes develop themselves differently but reach the same outcome. Only possible difference could be with the collectables, which is not yet confirmed.

#### Chapter end

No matter the choice you make, after the conversation with Oliver the chapter will end and a popup will appear informing you that the next chapter will start in 3 days.
