Chapter 2: Deceased Estate
How do I get warm?
Go into the underpass. It’s dark and wet. Check the barrel.
Check the brick on the wall at the back.
Use your knife on the brick to find a bottle of rum. Check the old outlet next.
You will find Bill’s Zippo lighter. Go to the left of the room to pick up the newspaper on the floor.
Open your inventory and combine the rum and the zippo lighter to fuel it up. Then place the newspaper in the barrel.
Next use the lighter on the barrel to get a fire going.
How do I escape the underpass?
Check the old outlet again.
Click on Bill’s corpse to move again. Examine his body twice to find a card for Angela and once you feel something in his clothes, use your knife.
How do I escape the attack?
Take cover behind the barrel.
Talk to the Japanese man to ask him about his motivations.
Make a Molotov by combining the bottle of rum and the cloth from Bill together.
Use the lighter on it and throw it at the man. Use the flames to escape through the old outlet.

Outside the Herald, check the sleeping man. Check the newspaper box. Go inside and talk to the receptionist. Exhaust all dialogue options.
Where do I get loose change?

Check the cemetery map on the railing. It has graffiti on it. You need to clean it.
Where do I get things to clean the map?
Take the second path on the right to the chapel. Pick up the brick on the path.
Talk to the caretaker twice, then pick up the coins he throws at you. Head back to the office and break the left window with the brick.
Once the caretaker is in the office, go to the chapel again.

Check the caretaker’s jacket for a large handkerchief.
Where do I get a city map?
Check the shelf near the window to find a map to the city.
Lean in through the window and try to open the door. The alarm will go off. Once the caretaker is inside, take his leafblower. Go back to the herald by using the map.
Where do I get cleaning liquid?
Drop the coins you got from the caretaker in the hat of the sleeping man.
Combine the alcohol of the sleeping man with the handkerchief. Now go to the back alley again.
Where do I get an umbrella?
You will find a man trying to escape the building. Talk to him and he will fall down. He will leave behind an umbrella. Get on top of the garbage unit and blow it down with the leaf blower.
Pick up the umbrella and head back to the cemetery. Give the caretaker his leaf blower back. Clean the cemetery map with the cleaning cloth.
How do I get inside the caretaker’s office?
Lean in through the window again and use the umbrella on the latch to open the door.
How do I find the alarm codes?
Go in and the alarm will go off again. Once the caretaker goes in and disarming the alarm – go to the right side window and peer in for the code. Go to the chapel and the caretaker will return. Go back to his office and turn off the alarm.
