Scene 1

As the game starts with Trevor’s deposition, you’ll enter a brief flashback. Run right, jumping over the logs as you go and climbing up the tree stump. Keep going right until this scene ends.

The next segment “The Whole Thing With Gus” is fairly straightforward – keep going right, interacting with objects and people, until you reach your desk.

Sit down at the desk. When you regain control, go right through the ADA room door. Continue to do as instructed – put on the earpiece, and keep going right until you hit a dead end.

Then, go back to one of the black boxes and follow the on-screen instruction to drag the box all the way to the right. Once it’s close enough to the ledge, climb up on the box and then up the ledge to the right.

Continue right, down the ledge, and use your ID card on the orange reader.

Scene 2

You will then be in control of another character, and in first-person. You can interact with a lot of objects here, but to proceed, exit the office. To do this, simply interact with the red-screen control panel.

Once out of the office, turn right and approach the CCTV camera. Interact with it and apply loopcorridor.avi file to this camera.

Turn around and go absolutely straight to the sign marked “Arcadia Dome”. Turn left when you reach this sign to find the Camera 03. Approach it, interact with it, and apply the loopserver.avi file to it.

Turn around and approach the server room. When you reach it, turn right and go straight past the meeting room. Turn left and then right to find Camera 02.

Approach it and link Camera 02 to the looplobby.avi file.

Then, press the Upload button. Once the upload is complete, return to the server room and use the keypad – which you don’t have the code for.

Exit the screen and go left, where you’ll find “Server Room” written in big letters. Examine the red sticky note on the computer monitor through the window.

Now return to the keypad and enter the code you just saw (1208). Once inside, use the computer on the desk to return to where we left off Trevor.

Follow the on-screen instruction to enter the CCTV mode. Using the options on top of the screen, switch to Cam 1. Open the door and then as Trevor, run right through the door.

Once through the door, you’ll find a box and a whole lot of darkness. Switch to CCTV mode again and switch on the spotlight in the upper area of the screen.

Have Trevor drag the box to the right, then climb up on it, and jump to the ledge to the right.

Then, move the spotlight to the right, far enough that Trevor is still lit up, and you can see the way ahead. Move forward and as you go, move the spotlight to the right as well, until Trevor reaches a dead end.

Now jump onto the ledge behind Trevor and jump across the gap to the ledge ahead.

Once Trevor is on the ledge, switch to Cam 1 and turn the spotlight on. Have Trevor proceed right into the red spotlight.

Drag the box here to the left and climb up on it. After this, continue right for a while.

Scene 3

Keep going right here, as things happen in the background.

Once you end up outside the building, go right a bit and then switch to the CCTV mode. Switch to Cam 1 and move the platform down. Switch back to Cam 0 and once the platform reaches Trevor’s level, have Trevor get on the platform.

Move the platform up again. Once you’re up, go right.

Scenes 4 & 5

Keep going right after the interceptors arrive, climbing up the ledges as required.

Eventually, you’ll get to a crane. Get on the crane and quickly switch to CCTV mode. Here, you must very quickly move the crane to the left (middle of the screen) and raise the platform to the right (right of the screen).

If you timed it right, Trevor will be able to get on the platform and run right, evading the interceptor who was sent ahead. Proceed right and jump into the swimming pool to end the demo.
