Game Walkthrough

There's been some questions about the second CG, or the final few endings. The second CG is a threesome that you can unlock by doing well during the initial press conference. The final endings require you to have done a good job pretending to be Charles.

The easiest way to accomplish that is by asking Dana the right questions to get through the conference, and then being a blunt but transparent president. Asking these questions of Dana will make it easier (and remember that new questions may appear after asking certain others).

• Ask about the attack:
  • How is the President?
  • Who attacked us?
  • What was the goal of the attack?
  • How do we explain my lack of injuries?
  • Where are we? Where did the attack occur?
  • What kind of attack was it?
  • Have any suspects been identified?
  • How many people were injured?
• Ask about my administration:
  • Are there any important people I should know about?
  • Tell me about my vice president

Next, look at the first or second photo before asking "I'm married?"

During the press conference, you'll want to give a no-bullshit speech.

• People of the United States
• Today
• There was an attempt on my life
• Fortunately, that attempt failed
• Unfortunately, there were injuries, and fatalities
• At least four secret service agents were killed, and several more were injured
• I'm confident that the FBI will be able to tell us more in the coming days
• Thank you

And then you want to answer the questions as thoroughly as possible. (The questions are semi-randomized, although if you gave a good speech without misleading information, the followup questions will always be the same.)

• I haven't seen (my husband) yet
• The attack used an autonomous vehicle
• (Vice President Reiner) is currently on Air Force Two, on her way back to the United States
• I'm not going to dignify (the question about my sexuality) with a response
• (No suspects have been identified) at this time. The FBI is working with the car rental company and following some leads
• No (one has claimed responsibility)
• (Replacing me is) a possibility that the FBI is looking into
• I trust the FBI to do their job (finding leads). I don't think it'd be useful for me to speculate at this time
• The limousine protected me from serious injury (in the attack)
• No one other than secret service agents was seriously hurt

Greet Lorenzo with a hug, and then either accept the threesome or go off with Lorenzo on your own.

Afterward, be honest in your conversation with Lorenzo.

• What did you say?
• If we're having problems, we should talk about them
• Twelve years is a long time to be married
• That's a little selfish, but it's also completely reasonable to want
• Remember the first time I went skiing with you / Remember when we adopted Molly
• Are you jealous of Jonas?
• Tell me what you want me to do
• But 'enough' shouldn't be enough
• They probably need me for some briefing or something...

You can achieve one of three different endings, if you've done well up to this part.

• For the best ending, agree to help Dana ("That makes sense. I hope I can help.")
• For a different ending, don't agree to help ("I'm not a lab rat!")
  • For an uneventful end, accept your fate ("I understand.")
  • To be a catalyst for change, try to convince her to help ("Please. Help me. I don't want to die.')

The other endings are achieved by doing spectacularly badly in different parts of the game, or by revealing the truth.
