Daytime: follow the routine and build cash
In the first cycle, find the job prompts and watch for roll call before exploring far from your cell. Use the available jobs to earn cash and check the suspicion indicator if the current version displays it. Plan time to return to the required area when the game signals roll call.
Buy the tool for your next objective
Find OJ’s Deals and read its item descriptions before buying. Treat the next objective and the tools you can actually use on it as the shopping list. Read the game prompts for how to stow tools before returning to the normal routine.
Night: check the Cell 13 interaction
Look for the toilet interaction in your assigned cell once the game allows you to work on the escape. Follow the interaction prompts and note which tool or state the game requires next. Stop early enough to respond to the next in-game routine prompt.
Tunnels: explore one branch at a time
Use in-game landmarks to track the route back to the cell. In co-op, call out the next branch and agree on a meeting point before splitting up. The experience is in alpha, so use the live objective prompts when a walkthrough’s route differs from the map.
